Gostiny Dvor (Row of shops)
Gostiny Dvor, a sort of shopping center in Russia before revolution of 1918, is situated opposite Spaskaya tower of the Kremlin. Nowadays it's a national museum. To the right of the picture you see a monument of 60-s of XX century to the famous Tatar poet Musa Jalil, put to death in fascist prison in 1943. The monument was a symbol of the city in Soviet times but now I'm not sure about.
