Red

hundreds

years
before
the
Communist
revolution.
The
Russian
word
"kras-naya"
means
"red"
and
also
"beautiful."
"central"
or
"important."
My

said

in

to
have

kept
its

At
the
south
end
of
Red
Square,
near
the
"forehead

Is
St.
Basil's
Cathedral,
a
10-domed
brick-and-stone
structure
built
for
Ivan
the
Terrible
In
1560.
At
the
square's
other
end
is
the
National
Institute,
a
monument
to
the
lifj
of
Lenin.
The
square's
east
side,
opposite
the
Kremlin,
is
taken
up
with
a
long
ornate
three-storey
building
built
in
1894
as
a
clos-ed-in
market.
Since
the
revolution
it
has
been
an
office
building.
Now
it
is
being
renovated
for
use
as
the
largest
department
store
in
the
Soviet
Union.
When
it
opens,
history
will
have
run
the
cycle
and
commerce
will
be
back
in
old
Red
Square.
If
the
ghost
of
some
czar
were
to
look
down
from
the
Kremlin
tower
he
would
notice
changes
but
still
would
recognize
the
place.
