Along the east wall of the Kremlin lies Red Square (Krasnaya Ploshchad), the
ceremonial centre of the capital and scene of holiday parades. The modest Lenin
Mausoleum blends into the wall, which itself contains the graves of most of the
U.S.S.R.'s past leadership. At the southern end of Red Square is the Church of the
Intercession (Pokrovsky Sobor), better known as the Blessed. It is a unique and
magnificent architectural fantasy, each of its 10 domes differing in design and
colour. Along Red Square facing the Kremlin is the State Department Store—
usually called by its Russian acronym, GUM—with its long aisles, iron bridges
linking the upper floors, and great skylights. The slightly earlier State Historical
Museum closes off the northern end of the square. In 1990 the Kremlin and Red
Square areas were added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Moscow has numerous theatres: the State Academic Bolshoi (Great) Theatre,
the Maly (Little) Theatre,the city's principal drama theatre, the Moscow Art Theatre,
the State Central Puppet Theatre and the Moscow State Circus. There are several
concert halls, notably the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and the two halls of the
Conservatory. The museums and art galleries in the capital include several of
international rank. Foremost among these are the State Pushkin Museum of Fine
Arts, with a fine international collection, and the State Tretyakov Gallery. Other
notable museums are the Armoury Museum in the Kremlin, the State Historical
Museum on Red Square, and the nearby Central Lenin Museum on Revolution
Square.
The inhabitants of Moscow are overwhelmingly of Russian nationality, the
largest minority groups being Jews, Ukrainians, Belorussians, and Tatars. It is
possible, however, to meet people on the streets of Moscow who belong to any of
numerous nationalities, including Georgians and Armenians from the Caucasus
Mountains and Uzbeks and Kazaks from Central Asia.
Moscow's labour force is one of the most highly skilled and educated in
Russia, and the city's financial, engineering, and manufacturing sectors are among
the country's most advanced. Women make up more than half of the workforce.
They form the vast majority of workers in the textile and food-processing industries,
and they predominate in the teaching and medical professions.
Moscow is Russia's leading educational and research centre, and its
educational institutions furnish skilled workers for its important engineering and
aerospace sectors. It is also the centre of Russia's publishing industry.
A man is judged by what he spends, not by what he earns.
