Moscow Time

Kremlin Clock, Moscow Posted by Hello

This is the Kremlin Clock located on the side of Red Square. The clock and bells that go with it work. As you can see here, many people are walking along in front of the bell presumably watching time go by - why else would they look at the clock? I did not expect to see so many Russians and other former Soviet Citizens walking around on Red Square here around the clock. I thought that this would mostly be for tourists, but many people told me here that everyone visits the Kremlin and this was such a symbol, and continues to be, during the Soviet times and today. Lenin's monument is just to the right of here - he is mumified and the line ups to see his tomb are too long. I guess it is possible to stand in line, look at this clock tower and see for sure how long it takes to get inside.
