It holds five palaces and four cathedrals. The name &#8220;<i>Kremlin<\/i>&#8221; means &#8220;fortress inside a city&#8221;. Much like the White House in the US, the Kremlin is currently used as the official residence of President of the Russian Federation. The Kremlin has been occupied for hundreds of years, however it took on the majority of its current appearance during the Soviet period when leaders such as Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin strove to remove all evidence of the previous Tsarist period.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7606\" src=\"http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5d5b05dfcd97845e6b718f62-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" title=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5d5b05dfcd97845e6b718f62-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5d5b05dfcd97845e6b718f62-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5d5b05dfcd97845e6b718f62-768x576.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5d5b05dfcd97845e6b718f62.jpeg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_Basils_Cathedral\"><\/span>St Basil&#8217;s Cathedral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The icon of Moscow is truly one-of-a-kind. Located right on Moscow&#8217;s famous Red Square, St Basil&#8217;s Cathedral was built on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It is beautifully intricate with its spiral domes. Made up of nine chapels, each serves as a point on the compass. Four of those chapels are raised to symbolize a position between earth and heaven. Since 1929, the cathedral has served as a museum and tourist attraction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7604 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-5-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" title=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-5-1024x819.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-5-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-5-768x614.jpg 768w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-5-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-5.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cathedral_of_the_Assumption\"><\/span>The Cathedral of the Assumption<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Constructed in the 15th century, the Cathedral of the Assumption is the oldest church in the Kremlin. It was considered the main cathedral of the Russian state. Stored here is the decree of Emperor Paul I, son of Catherine the Great.

Since then, Russia has never had a female leader, royal or otherwise.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7596 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-2-1-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" title=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-2-1-1024x819.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-2-1-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-2-1-768x614.jpg 768w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-2-1-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/dream-singles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/White-Minimalist-Coffee-Quote-Photo-Collage-copy-2-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cathedral_of_Christ_the_Savior\"><\/span>The Cathedral of Christ the Savior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A few blocks south-west of the Kremlin, you will find the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world.
