- Is it your first visit to Moscow?

- Yes, and unfortunately I haven't got much time.

- So what are you going to do while you are here?

- Well, I don't know much about Moscow, you know. Just the Kremlin and Red Square.

- You've just got two days, haven't you? You are going to be pretty busy if you want to see all the sights.

- I'm planning to start early tomorrow morning. What should I do first?

- I think you should start with the Kremlin. The Kremlin is in the center of Moscow. It is an outstanding historical and architectural monument that serves as a symbol for the whole Russia. You have to do that.

- It sounds great. I'll definitely do that. Tell me where Red Square is.

- It is located in front of the Kremlin's western wall. The square is fenced in the State Historical Museum building, the GUM building, and St. Basil Cathedral. For many centuries Red Square has served as the place for important historical events. Red Square was founded at the end of the 15th century.

- What else do you recommend?

- Well, it depends on what you like - art, shopping, theatre?

- Well, not shopping particularly. But I'd like to see an art gallery or two.

- Oh, then you must go to the State Tretyakov Gallery. It is the most important storehouse of Russian art in the world. It is renowned for its collection of famous Russian icons and masterpieces by Russia's artistic geniuses, including Repin, Vrubel, Kandinsky, Malevich and others. It is situated on two territories, separated from each other by several city districts. It gives the opportunity to represent the whole history of Russian art from the ancient period to our contemporaries.

- Right.
