The Kremlin - general information
Vladimir_V.:
First Kremlin was wooden. The next one was made from the white stone. Then it was rebuilt by Italian architects. They used white stone (for basement) and red bricks. In XVIII it was colored.
Kremlin was white before 1920-1930. Now it is red except one tower.
ChgoJohn:
I am curious as to where important guests and dignitaries stay when they are visiting the Kremlin. Would they stay in some part of the Senate or maybe in an annex of the Grand Palace?
richard_1990:
I'm pretty sure they still in a hotel.
hikaru:
Welkome to Kremlin!
We have not so many tourists in January and February.
As for ghosts, I know about only one ghost in Kremlin - ghost of Iwan the Terrible.
Inok Nikolai:
Perhaps something will appear soon in English on this proposal.
For now, here is the Russian:

Pres. Putin has seriously suggested tearing down the Soviet office buildings inside the Kremlin in order to rebuild the Chudov and Voznesensky Monasteries and the Small Nicholas Palace -- in order to return to the Kremlin its pre-Revolutionary historical appearance.
There is even talk of opening the Spasky Gates for locals and tourists to use on foot.
