Greg_King:
The print identifying some of the rooms is too small, but below are at least some designations of which I am sure from my own visits to the palace rooms:

GROUND FLOOR

A (at bottom of Grand Kremlin Palace): Main Entrance
B (opening from above): State Parade Antechamber (which leads to the Parade Staircase to the principal floor)
D: Dining Room in the Private Apartments
E (at least I think it’s an E-immediately to the left of the above): Empress’s Reception Room in the Private Apartments
F: Corridor
G (Can’t read but immediately to left of above): Empress’s Drawing Room in the Private Apartments
And immediately to left of that: Corridor
J: Empress’s Boudoir in the Private Apartments
(Can’t read, but immediately to the left of the above): Imperial Bedroom in the Private Apartments
(Then immediately to the left): Passage to the Imperial Bathroom
(At corner, to left of above): Emperor’s Study in the Private Apartments
N (I think-directly above the Study): Emperor’s Reception Room in the Private Apartments

PRINCIPAL FLOOR

C: Palace of Facets
B: Holy Vestibule
D: Hall of St. Vladimir
E: Parade Vestibule
F: Parade Staircase
G: Hall of St. George
H: French doors to terrace overlooking Cathedral Square

Looking at the plans for the ground floor along the right side, beneath the area of St Vladimir's hall and Hall of St George, there appear to be some good sized rooms. Does anyone know what they might be?
