--- Quote ---Why is there always enough money for maintaining and restoring the Presidential palaces, and others that are used by the public are falling apart and in dire need of repair?

Because the palaces used by the president are where foreign guests will be received, business conferences will be held etc. which are for the benefit of the country as a whole. palaces are being restored slowly - public ones too.
Alexander1917:
That's true, but there is also the fact that there are so many palaces, and some are really large. A good restoration will also take some time. and if they finished one part, they could start from the beginning. I suppose its also a matter of the very high changes in temperature ( -20°C in winter + 30°C in summer), not very good for bulidings I think.

Not many pictures in this thread. Here's some I've found. It really is the most magnificent palace in the world.. the location is so great.

Constantinople:
Did anyone else notice Andrew Marr's resemblance to Vladimir Putin? Perhaps Medvedev thought he was reporting to his boss when he was answering, hence the vague answers.
the room looked very dark but no ghosts seemed to appear.

In most paintings the Kremlin's walls are usually white, were they painted this way? ie.
