 Krelin Square by Upstate1NY
I must "confess" there are more museums around Kremlin Square, and the Kremlin, than you could ever believe! I can't remember all their names. It is a statement of enormous proportions about the intent of the Russian government and it's people.
I meet a man who lived in St. Petersburg for ten years when I visited there. He claimed he was still able to find museums of significance that he had not yet visited even after all that time. I can believe that is true of Moscow as well. Leave a Comment Address: Kremlin Square

 Marshal Georgi Konstantinovich
Zhukov by Upstate1NY
In Kremlin Square, in front of the State Museum, stands a statue of a man on a horse.
It honors Marshal Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov. The military "genus" behind the defeat of the Nazi Third Reich invasion of Russia which in no small way helped defeat that regime completely.
General Eisenhower, the American commander in Europe is quoted as saying:
"One day there is certain to be another order of the Soviet Union. It will be the Order of Zhukov, and that order will be prized by every man who admires courage, vision, fortitude, and determination in a soldier." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1945 Leave a Comment Address: Kremlin SquareDirections: center

Originally Krasnaya Ploshchad meant beautiful square and only in the 20th century did its meaning change to red.
Red Square always have been a meeting place, in earlier days lots of executions took place here and after the October revolution it was stage for pompous military parades. Leave a Comment Directions: center

The nearest environs of the Red Square - including Manezhnaya square, belong to most man tended by Muscovites places during about four centuries. The first mentions about the area have appeared 500 years back.
