Kremlin & Cathedrals
I would recommend this tour as essential for first time visitors to Moscow.
The Kremlin Territory and Cathedrals tour last, on average 1 and a half hours.
Even if you have visited the Kremlin area and its cathedrals before, it is only through a Kremlin tour with an expert historian guide that the incredible stories of this World Heritage Listed site can be fully understood and appreciated.
This tour is packed with historical information about the birth place of Moscow, and, like all View Russia tours provides ample opportunities for discussion and to focus on any topics of most interest to you.
We arrive at the Kremlin. Your tickets have already been purchased in advance and therefore you avoid standing in the long queues.
We walk across Trinity Bridge, in the footsteps of Napoleon, who in 1812 followed this path to enter the Kremlin, a Russian word for Fortress, and the heart of the Russian capital.
We enter the Kremlin through Trinity tower, where Ivan the Terrible once imprisoned and starved to death nobles whom he considered unfaithful.
We see the building where Stalin's second wife committed suicide and the ARSENAL where Peter the great stored enough weapons and ammunition to supply an army, 500,000 men strong.
We will visit the Senate, the historic center of power in Moscow, also the location where citizens would once address their complaints, yet rarely receive any response or resolution.
You will see the giant Tsar Cannon, and learn why it was never able to be fired!...
The famous Tsar Bell, and learn how a piece of this giant bronze relic was broken off.
We see the Great Kremlin Palace, a building of great controversy among Muscovites. You can form your opinion as to whether it adds or detracts from the overall beauty of the Kremlin.
Next, we enter the world of the Russian Tsars. We explore the Assumption Cathedral and see where the Tsars of Russia were once crowned.
In the Annunciation Cathedral we see where Russia's rulers would marry, be baptized and seek spiritual guidance from religious leaders on matters of the up-most importance regarding the future of Russia.
In the Archangel Cathedral we see the resting places of those who once ruled over this vast area of the world; often with an iron fist.
Finally, the Big Kremlin Palace, where modern day Russian presidents are inaugurated and where most recently Putin swore his oath for his third term as President. You will learn why it still may not be his he last term!
This tour should definitely be considered as essential for all visitors to Moscow.
With View Russia, you will not only see the sights, but with an expert historical guide gain a deeper understanding of the events which took place within the Kremlin, the decisions which were made within its walls and gain insights into the historical events which led Russia to become the country it is today.

All foreigners who live, lived or have visited Russia can agree on one thing, Russia is an amazing country. Now I’m not gonna do a pitch on how amazing it is. It is however, my adopted country and I can say one thing for sure, Russia gets ridiculously bad press!!!!

My name is Sam Hyland. I am an Englishman living in Russia since 2004. I have been involved in a number of different projects during my time here and had lots of experiences, good and bad. As a foreigner, I understand the difficulties of moving to Russia (Not because Russia is a big, bad, scary country) because while it maybe big, it is far from scary! Russia is an exciting country and has lots to offer anyone who would like to give it a try.
The main difficulty with coming to Russia is of course the language. If you don’t speak it, then it’s difficult to get information about how to come, where to stay and what to do. There are so many unanswered questions and huge media bias which provides a lack of credible information as to what life in Russia is genuinely like.
For this reason, above all, I decided to create this site.
So who am I? And why should you trust me?
As I already mentioned, I have lived here for a number of years. I also have gone through the whole process of relocating to a new country, and all the ups and downs as a foreigner living in Russia. Hopefully I can make your transition easier because of it.
When I first arrived in Russia, I had nobody to help me, so I found lots of foreign friends and spoke only English with them. They were my support network and if it wasn’t for them, then my life would have been very difficult.
Before arriving in Russia, I had no idea about what it would be like, it was a complete mystery. While I don’t want to ruin these first time experiences for you, I know that there are so many questions that you would like answering and through this site I can do that for you.
I have had the chance to meet and become friends with some fantastic people and had some really amazing experiences. Russian people are extremely hospitable and I have been lucky enough to be invited to many Russian weddings, festivals, parties, events and so much more….
I live in the city of Vladimir (2 hours drive from Moscow) This is a provincial Russian town with a population of about 350,000. Usually when people think about Russia, they think of Moscow or St Pertersburg, While these are both amazing and fascinating places, there is far more to Russia than just these cities.
During my time here I have worked in a number of professions and have a large contact base. I can help you with all sorts of questions. About life, study, work and travel in Russia! And if I don’t know the answer to your question, then I’m sure I know somebody who can answer your question!
What do I do? How do I live here?
Right now I’m an Affiliate Marketer, so I make money online. I also Run a small language school.
In 2012 I opened a Volunteer language school in Vladimir. For 4 years I employed volunteers from the UK who came to Russia to teach English and study Russian language. I ran this program with the association of Nottingham University, we took on many 3rd year Russian language students who lived, studied and taught in Vladimir. You can see our site, though it’s in Russian!
I have the experience of assisting foreigners with the process of travelling to Russia and I can help assist you, just reach out to me, I will be happy to help.

Annunciation Cathedral Complex email info@kosmostrip.net
Annunciation Cathedral Complex
The Annunciation Cathedral Complex is located in a north-east part of the Kremlin, gradually developed from XVI century as the orthodox authority centre of the region. The Complex includes the Annunciation Cathedral, the Bishop’s House, the Consistory, and also archaeological fragments of stone constructions of different periods.
Annunciation Cathedral
The Annunciation Cathedral is the largest construction of the Kazan Kremlin and most ancient one among remained stone constructions of Kazan; it is located in the centre of the Complex. It was constructed in 1561-1562 by the Pskov masters led by Postnik Yakovlev and Ivan Shiriay. It was reconstructed in 1691, 1736, 1835-1843; it was reconstructed in 1970-1980 and it was restored in 1996-2005 years.
Originally it was five-domed triapsidal temple with two side-altars connected by the church porch which bent around central cubical cathedral volume. Cathedral heads were of helmet-shaped forms.
Cathedral consecration took place in 1562. The cathedral was exposed to numerous repairing and three reconstructions after fires. In 1694 narrow windows of the Annunciation Cathedral were expanded, the temple was decorated by the wall scripts. At same time the five –circled bell tower had been erected at the southwest side of cathedral porch. In 1736 helmet-shaped domes of lateral heads had been replaced for bulbous, and the central dome received finishing in a style of the Ukrainian Baroque.
In 1842-1843 new large double lighted refectory was attached from a west side; the high open porch was transformed into the covered church porch in 1863; the oven heating was arranged and air-stove replaced it later. Within carrying out civil works the architectural details were found, probably they were connected with constructions of the Khan Period, which were in front of church at its northern limits as it was described in a Scribal Book in 1566-1568. The cathedral had been painted again in 1869-1870.
The bell-tower, the western porch, cathedral heads were demolished in 1930s.
Initially the 5-headed, 5-apsidal temple surrounded by two lateral side-altars had been built. Central 6-pillar volume with four lateral dome drums with bulbous finishing and one middle dome drum in style of Ukrainian Baroque, three apses, lateral side-altars with apses; preservation of three fragments of internal fresco list in the main space and three fragments in apses of altar parts was done.
A number of the decorative elements, one of which was the Tatar gravestone of XVI century, which had been built in masonry in the form of a crosspiece over the niche for church utensils, have remained. Restoration of oil frescos, executed in the beginning of XIX century by a Safronovs’ family brigade of icon painters belonging to Vladimir School, had been hold. XVII century beginning the templon Iconostasis decorated wrought silver with gold leafy gilding had been recreated completely.
Carved shade over reliquary with hallows of St. Gurias, 4 kiots with icons in refectory and 2 in tambour of the main entrance had been recreated too. North and South Pillars with frescoes and iconostasis are restored. In the basic volume there is a ground floor of XVI century functioned originally as separate six-column temple of All Sacred. Walls and intersecting vaults of that premise are laid out from hewn limestone blocks. Now it is adapting under the Museum of Orthodox Art.
The influence of the Pskov, Vladimir, Ukrainian and Moscow Architecture is traced in forms and design accurately. The Cathedral is a unique monument of XVI-XIX centuries.
The central volume of Cathedral is made from a white stone, it has kept the initial volume-spatial composition; it is triapsidal, six-column building having with five heads. Internal columns in a temple are round as in the Uspensky Cathedral in Moscow Kremlin;
Trumpet vaults are used instead of sailing passing to the main dome; it is the reception inherent to the Oriental Architecture and unique for temple building of that time. Figured corbels (“roller”, a brick on edge) are connected with arches in decorative processing of facades.

Kazan Kremlin to order send email info@kosmostrip.net
The Kazan Kremlin includes many old buildings, the oldest of which is the Annunciation Cathedral (1554-62), the only 16th-century Russian church to have six piers and five apses. Like many of Kazan's buildings of the period, it is constructed of local pale sandstone rather than of brick. The renowned Pskov architects Postnik Yakovlev and Ivan Shirjay (called Barma) were invited by the Tzar to rebuild Kazan Kremlin in stone. The cathedral bell tower was erected in five tiers at the urging of Ivan the Terrible and was scored to resemble the Ivan the Great Belltower in Moscow, but was pulled down by the Soviets in 1930.
The most conspicuous landmark of the Kazan Kremlin is the leaning Söyembikä Tower, which probably goes back to the reign of Peter the Great. A well-known legend connects the tower with the last queen of Kazan. Another recognizable architectural feature is the Spasskaya Tower, which anchors the southern end of the Kremlin and serves as the main entrance to the Kremlin.
The Spasskaya Tower is named after the Spassky Monastery, which used to be located nearby. Among the monastery's buildings were the Church of St. Nicholas (1560s, four piers) and the Cathedral of the Saviour's Transfiguration (1590s, six piers). They were destroyed by the Communists during Stalin's rule.
Also of interest are snow-white towers and walls, erected in the 16th and 17th centuries but later renovated; the Qol-Şärif mosque, recently rebuilt inside the citadel; and the Governor's House (1843-53), designed by Konstantin Thon, now the Palace of the President of Tatarstan. The Palace is believed to be located on the site of former Khan's palace. Tucked between Presidential Palace and Söyembikä Tower is the palace church built on the foundation of medieval mosque.
Northern wall of the Kremlin contains another gated tower - Secret Tower, so named because it used to house a secret water supply well. This tower allows pedestrian access to Kremlin, but vehicle access is restricted to emergencies only.The opening of the biggest mosque in Europe, the Qol-Şärif mosque, was held in Kazan on June 24, 2005. Roughly 17,000 people gathered for the celebration. Delegations from forty countries attended the event. The facility was reconstructed on the site where Kazan Khanate's principal mosque had been standing before the seventeenth century. Speaking at the ceremony, Tatarstan President Mintimer Shaeymiev said the Qol-Şärif mosque is a new symbol of Kazan and Tatarstan... a bridge connecting... our past and future.
The decree on restoring the Qol-Şärif mosque (1995) also ordered the restoration of the Annunciation Cathedral in the Kazan Kremlin which had been taken away from Orthodox Christians after the Russian Revolution. On July 21, 2005, the feast day of the holy icon Theotokos of Kazan, in the presence of the crowd of 10,000 pilgrims, Patriarch Alexius II and Mintimer Shaeymiev placed at the newly-restored Annunciation Cathedral the holiest copy of the long-lost icon, which had been returned to Russia by Pope John Paul II shortly before his death.
In 2005 the first stage of the Kazan Metro also included a station Kreml whose exits are right next to the Kremlin.
