Brings back memories! I visited St Petersburg, then Leningrad in about 1984, stayed at the Hotel Europa on Nevsky Prospekt. It's well worth a visit, very grand, beautiful stained glass in the restaurant. http://tinyurl.com/5p8uz2
These pictures from your travels are wonderful. The only bad thing is my jealousy!
Still enjoying my vicarious journey. I didn't know that about the Kremlin either. I am in Venice with one blogger and in Russia with you simultaneously - ah the joys of armchair traveling! Thanks for the splendid posts!

It's all great!
