Talk:Kremlin

message: Quoting from the article: "The northwestern section of the Kremlin holds the Armoury building." - as I've been to the Kremlin a few months ago, I'm pretty sure the Armoury building is in the southwestern section not the northwestern one.  Proof found here - http://www.kreml.ru/en/main/kremlin/ - if you move the mouse cursor around, you'd find the armoury is in fact the most southwestern building in the Kremlin.  So should be changed to southwestern?
Same again for the Arsenal, it's in the Northwestern section not the northeastern section.  Proof found in the URL I supplied.
I also find quite a lot of stuff are missing from the article such as the Tsar Bell etc.  OK for me to fill those gaps? --EnglishDude 17:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The word Kreml is a Mongol word meaning fortress, and supporting information can be found below. http://www.athenapub.com/rusarch1.htm (Journal review:  Russian Archaeology (Rossiiskaia Arkheologiia))
However, someone named "Ghirlandajo" (Andrey from Yaroslavl) keeps deleting my contribution about the name. No matter you like it or not, the history stays the same. You can not change or alter it. Kreml being a Mongol word does not reduce Russian greatness or history. 
It is a historic fact that there are many Mongol/Turkic words in Russian language as a result of Mongol yoke. For example, Russian war cry "Ura" is a Mongol word, adopted by Peter I.
So, please stop deleting my additions. Everyone deserves to know more.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.91.191 (talk) 14:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I am not an expert but it seems that the use of Kremlin to reference the government has different meanings in Soviet and modern Russia.  The way I interpret things, in Soviet times Kremlin references all branches of the government while in modern times it references only the presidential branch.  Given that distinction there would be two analogies to point out, the Soviet era analogy, Kremlin == Washington (and British equivalent) and the modern era analogy, Kremlin == White House, Downing Street.  Can anyone confirm, deny or modify this interpretation? fltchr (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

message: On the show Life After People on the History Channel, an episode goes into how the Kremlin's foundation has been devastated by constant military parades. Shouldnt this be included in some way, shape, or form?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.36.75.51 (talk) 01:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I think this should be changed, but can't really think of the best alternative - probably "politics". Kremlinology is/was more than studying any particular Soviet or Russian government's "policies", it is/was about tracking and studying everything happening in these governments and, indeed, in Soviet times, the CPSU - changes of personnel, who was on the up, who's been demoted (or worse). Anyone offer a better word than "politics"? Maelli (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

message: According to http://www.unesco.org/new/en/social-and-human-sciences/unesco-regions/ there is no Europe or Russia region, only Europe and North America, therefore I changed the UNESCO region to the proper one. Sadly it does not have a list of sites as a region, while Europe has.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.191.2.218 (talk) 14:44, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As noted by , we're not restricted to following UNESCO proscriptions as there is far too much information to be carried by a few articles. Please see List of World Heritage Sites in Europe. Even there, Europe has been broken down into further regions for the sake of natural disambiguation. That is why the link stands as it is, although I do wonder whether it shouldn't point to List of World Heritage Sites in Eastern Europe since the current link is to a WP:DAB page. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:14, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

message: The article currently has many errors and omissions with regard to the actual buildings that existed; which were demolished for which particular new buildings (significant errors here); and what is the current situation. No mention of the Presidium currently being demolished. And it requires proper book referencing on these points: some sources contradict each other on large and small points, so whomever attempts a rewrite should be diligent in their research. For example, the Church of the Savior In The Forest is sometimes termed the Savior in the Pine Forest. Engleham (talk) 18:45, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Why is kremlin not synecdoche? 
Isn't it a part representing a whole (Russia)?

message: The Kremlin article says "... fortified complex in the centre of Moscow founded by Russian ruling dynasty of Rurikids".
This is false. The Rurik dynasty article literally says "The Rurikids were the ruling dynasty of Kievan Rus'". There was no such thing as Russia in the times when Rurik ruled Kyiv!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naydeath (talk • contribs) 08:02, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

text: Firstly, "Ukrainian origin" is nationalist nonsense. Secondly, the only ruling Rurikids there were when this kremlin was built were in Russia (the "RULING dynasty" of Russia) and this does not refer to origin. This is Ivan III we're talking about. Mellk (talk) 23:31, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
