The Kremlin

The walls of the Kremlin stand as perhaps one of the most dramatic features of Red Square. Lined with dark green trees and with a few guards standing in front unobtrusively, this part of the kremlin wall is walked past, every year, by millions.
Generally, the main city districts of Moscow draw thousands of tourists every year and Red Square is one of the main drawcards. It's not far from the metro to walk here. It's a scene for tourists, but also, various parades, including military parades (recent Red Square parades just a month or so ago were held here to celebrate Victory Day on May 9).
The Kremlin walls stand as a reminder to what is also this aspect of Red square: the home of the Russian government.
Russia is, also, vast. On a summer's day in May in 2015, and despite the thousands visiting, the square is not packed closely or crowded. There is room to wander, stop and photograph with ease, or to sit in one of the surrounding bars or cafes and watch, despite the - easily accessible from the square - busy streets and multi-level department stores. Space is one thing Russia does not lack. Nor are visible demonstrations and symbols of power.
