Moscow's Red Square
Russian explanation: The Red Square in Moscow means "beautiful square". It is reported that the Red Square in Moscow, together with the neighboring Kremlin, was included in the World Cultural Heritage List on 1990.
On the west side of the square are Lenin's mausoleum and the red wall of the Kremlin, where there is a reviewing platform; On the east side is Gum Department Store, which is said to be the largest department store in Moscow and one of the top ten department stores in the world. When we entered the room, we saw that the furnishings inside were gorgeous and the things were surprisingly expensive. A suit costs tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. We are just a passer-by, and naturally we dare not have the desire to buy or try it on. In the south, there is the famous Ascension Cathedral of St. Vasily, also known as the Church of Our Lady. It is said that this world-famous church is now part of the Russian museum.
The ground of the square is paved with long strips embedded in the ground, so it can withstand the passage of heavy tanks. The whole square looks mighty and domineering, rectangular, covering an area of 90 thousand square meters. It is the place where Russia holds major celebrations, rallies and military parades.
People all over the world regard this Moscow Red Square as the witness and pride of Moscow's history. Its name also impressed me deeply, and I have always regarded it as a sacred place in my heart for many years. But to be honest, I didn't think it was much smaller than the scene I remembered until I came here. Maybe the higher the expectation, the bigger the gap will be.
I really feel that the gap with Tiananmen Square in China and Beijing is much bigger, and it is narrow and not open all day. It is far less vast and magnificent than Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and even less solemn and solemn than Tiananmen Square.
When we came here that day, we happened to meet some graduates of Moscow Military Academy, and they held a graduation ceremony here. They wore uniform, lined up in neat formation and marched around the field with Russian military flags. To tell the truth: their gait is really special. They are magnificent, giving people a sense of majesty and beauty.
Behind the Red Square in Moscow is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a horizontal tombstone with flowers on it, which needs to be changed every day. Although its price is equivalent to the monument to heroes standing in Tiananmen Square, I think its majesty is also inferior.
According to the tour guide, the inscription on the tablet reads: "Your name is unknown, and your spirit will live forever". We can't go to the front. We are far away. We can't see what it says, but we can see it. We forgot all the Russian we had learned before and couldn't understand it.
In front of the monument is an eternal flame. On both sides of the monument, a guard soldier with a pike stood upright. They change jobs every hour.
We watched the changing ceremony here-at the hour, a row of three guards each held a pike, solemn and serious, with their legs straight, marching towards the unknown monument. Then, after a salutation, two soldiers on both sides of it went to the left and right sentries of the monument respectively to replace the original sentry on duty and return to the team, or three people lined up again.
Behind them is the monument to the Unknown Soldier, with flowers from that year. This is a newly laid-off guard who is returning to camp.
Victory Square in World War II
Every Russian attaches great importance to the fruits of his victory in World War II. It is said that in 1945, this magnificent "Victory Square in World War II" and square park were built on Fushou Mountain in the center of Moscow, becoming one of the landmark buildings in Moscow.
The square is very spacious, with green space, lawn, victory bell, large fountain and lamp post ... It attracts countless tourists and citizens to visit or take a leisurely walk every day. There is the Arc de Triomphe in front of the square (the Arc de Triomphe in Moscow was built to commemorate the Russian army led by General Kutuzov defeated the invading French army in 18 12), and there is a 14 1.8-meter-high "victory column" behind the square, indicating that this war has gone through1466.
Together with the Victory Column and the Arc de Triomphe, the square publicized two great anti-aggression wars in Russian history: the anti-Napoleon invasion and the anti-German fascist aggression war.
After leaving Victory Square, the guide led us into the nearest subway station, which is said to be the deepest subway station in Moscow and even in the world.
The tour guide told us that during World War II, it was used as a bomb shelter and an underground hospital, which made great contributions to the victory of World War II. It is about 50 meters deep, and in some places it can reach 90 meters. It is one of the most beautiful, luxurious and busy subway lines in the world. The subway station is really beautiful! Seeing all kinds of reliefs, oil paintings, lights and statues on its walls are extremely elegant and gorgeous, people can't help but exclaim, so it has always enjoyed the reputation of "underground art palace" and become the pride of Moscow people.
Look! How does this look like a subway station? This is a real underground palace.
Its architecture is very beautiful and luxurious. Its floor is paved with colored glazed marble, and its walls and ceiling are embossed and glass murals. The whole interior is beautiful, which makes people linger.
At this point, even if I gild the lily, I can't help adding: As the son and daughter-in-law of the old man, what impressed my husband and I most was the "high-quality" beauty on the streets of Moscow. They are too many and too dense, each with its own beauty and strangeness!
