I got here in Russia a day ago Its exactly how i thought it would everyone is stern and they all like Vodka. I went to the Red square it was Built in 15th century, during the reign of Ivan III, it was earlier known as Trinity Square named after the Trinity Cathedral that stood near the St. Basil's Cathedral. This amazing architectural edifice also embodies spiritual significance coupled together as being the political hub for many years. This historic monument has been in use to many important events and incidents that rocked the nation from time to time such as a meeting place for the cold war. In 1712 Peter such as the Great, shifted the capital to St. Petersburg and the Red Square subsequently lost its importance but due to efforts by the Bolsheviks Moscow became the capital in 1918. Later it was turned into a cemetery and was also converted into a parade ground. In 1924 the Lenin Mausoleum was built inside this historical Red Square.
