Moscow Kremlin
The Moscow Kremlin (Russian: Моско́вский Кремль, tr. Moskovskiy Kreml; IPA: [mɐˈskofskʲɪj krʲemlʲ]), sometimes referred to as simply the Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the south, Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Garden to the west. It is the best known of kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.
The name Kremlin means fortress inside a city, and is often used as a metonym to refer to the government of the Russian Federation in a similar sense to how the White House is used to refer to the Executive Office of the President of the United States. Indeed, even the Russian President's official website is Kremlin.ru. It had previously been used to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922–1991) and its highest members (such as general secretaries, premiers, presidents, ministers, and commissars). Kremlinology refers to the study of Soviet and Russian politics.

Обитель у Спасских ворот
Осенью 1929 года два древних монастыря, Чудов и Вознесенский, исчезли с карты Кремля. Советское правительство освобождало место для постройки военной школы ВЦИК. Об истории древней женской обители, — Вознесенском монастыре, что у Спасских ворот, — основанном в четырнадцатом веке вдовой Дмитрия Донского княгиней Евдокией и разрушенном в веке двадцатом, можно узнать не только из фильма, но и придя в музей, где представлены подлинные реликвии, избежавшие уничтожения.
