-   Exactly so. The Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral are really unique
    creations. They are masterpieces of Russian architecture.
-   Majestic sights!

    Russian history: collections of precious stones, gold and silver
    objects, richly adorned arms, rare fabrics, coronation gowns,
    thrones, the royal carriages and sleighs, gifts to the tsars from the
    foreign embassies of the time.

    with the Russian history from ancient times to the end of the 19 th
    century.

    tory of our country. But it requires a special tour.
