The Most Recent History of the Ancient Kremlin

The Kremlin made it to the 1990s with all the losses and additions described above. It fell into a state of ever greater neglect over the years, and the many cosmetic renovations were no longer able to hide the general decay of this architectural jewel of Russia.

The 1990s brought changes to the Kremlin. For the first time, the aim was not only to preserve the existing cultural and historical monuments in the Kremlin, but to restore what had been lost over the past decades. At the same time, work was going on to turn the Kremlin into a presidential residence fit to be a place of work for the head of state and a venue for the most important state events.
