Red fortress : the secret heart of Russia's history
Merridale, Catherine, 1959-2013
Books, Manuscripts
The Kremlin is one of the very few buildings in the world which still keeps its original, late medieval function: as a palace, built to intimidate the ruler's subjects and to frighten foreign emissaries. 'Red Fortress' conveys this sense of the Kremlin as a stage set, nearly as potent under Vladimir Putin as it was under earlier, far more baleful inhabitants.
