View on th Red Square from GUM

The Red Square, the central square in Moscow. Actually 'Krasnaya Ploshchad' as it sounds in Russian should be translated not as 'red' - 'krasnaya', but as 'fine' for the Russian word 'krasnaya' means both, but in this case it was meant to be Fine Square. Personally I agree with that explanation.
The square is not very big: 695 m in length, 130 m in width, but it's very impressive. The Moscow Kremlin faces onto Red Square with its spleldid towers and walls. Red Square is rarely empty on a weekday. There one can encounter people from all over the world.
