Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin’s name comes to mind when we remember
the recent history of Moscow and former Soviet Union. Vladimir Lenin the
leader of the Bolshevik faction was the most widely known towering
figure who inspired and led the October Revolution in1917.
After the Revolution Moscow became the capital of former Soviet Union
and of Russia on 12 March 1918. Following Lenin’s death in 1924, his
remains were displayed inside a chamber at a Mausoleum known as the
Lenin’s Mausoleum. It is a monumental edifice built at the Red Square in
the heart of Moscow city. Each day from early hours thousands of
people queue at Lenin’s Mausoleum to pay tribute to the late leader. The
Red Square is one of the highest-esteemed attractions in Moscow. It is
an ideal place to enjoy the charm of life of the city. The Russian
Orthodox Cathedral known as the “Our Lady of Kazan” church, Pokrovsky
cathedral, Iberian Gate, the State Historical Museum, the Saint Basil’s
Cathedral with its stylish domes are few of the most recognizable and
the best-known attractions located around the Red square. As the most
populous city of Russia there is no end to the breath-taking sites

places-of-interest in the city other than the Red Squire is the stately
twelth century Moscow Kremlin. The city is also modern in every sense of
