We visited many different historical sites in Russia, all of them with great significance to country?s history. Nonetheless, the one that touched me the most was Red Square. Readings and images simply do not do justice to this place. I personally found it beautiful all around. The square is bounded by red stone walls and churches ? at least four churches.

Readings and images simply do not do justice to this place. I personally found it beautiful all around. The square is bounded by red stone walls and churches ? at least four churches. This made it attractive to me as Red Square is typically associated with Communism and a dearth of religion. The Kremlin is definitely a sight to see ? the onion domes, the bright colors, the original architecture, simply overpowers any preconception one could have about it. Though we could not go in (a familiar phrase- ?No!?) we did get to see Lenin?s Mausoleum. St. Basil?s Cathedral right next to the Kremlin is both majestic and a way to reaffirm this country?s spirituality following the Soviet times.
