It was the place from which Imperials Russia czars ruled till the 18th century and where Soviet leaders governed the USSR since 1918.

The Moscow Kremlin is actually a complex of buildings surrounded by a two kilometers long wall. The word Kremlin means fortress and there are dozens of Kremlins around Russia. Certainly the most famous one is the Moscow Kremlin. It owes its fame not only to the monumental design of churches and palaces that are part of it, but also to the history and the stories surrounding it. The Moscow Kremlin is basically a huge museum of Russian history. In one of the buildings in the Kremlin a precious collection of Faberge egg is kept, which is a must-see for every art-lover.
