the witness it took us twenty seven minutes to go around the kremlin walls but what was behind them well join me on a journey to the heart of the kremlin to places him from the tourist he got to meet some real criminal insiders although they may not be the usual news makers you see on t.v. . so that you're going to meet true kremlin scholar this man is practically saturated with kremlin history so good to that of the day that and finally we meet good to see you sir are going to ask a gate is the major passage into the kremlin and traditionally it has always been open for arriving visitors during the day since the time of ivan the terrible sars and the emperor has used it when visiting moscow anyone entering the gates take off their heart to all of the savior of smaller whose image can be seen above the gate . and tearing through game to enforce backwards prohibition legend has it that when

napoleon passed through the gate in moscow in eight hundred twelve the winds tore his famous by calling from his head confront the savior. in one nine hundred forty five humor of the saudi cuny and marshalled you would give. both worlds in one moment he entered dressed squares for spassky gate to see for the first victory day parade on horseback and wearing his service cap. after you get free milk so when did the i can appear here. i call him has been here since the sixteenth century but disappeared during the soviet era it was only a year ago that restores discovered the icon under a layer of plaster while examining the may story almost thanks to them it was saved . in the name of the father.

the son. and the holy spirit. is busking the gate was open for passage until the late ninety's but most are transported to and from the kremlin disturbed tourists walking along and the kremlin walls and with the new millennium came the decision to close the gate. now opened only on special occasions during the ninth of may fixture a day parade for example or on inauguration day to receive the presidential motorcade. the only other visitor to pass through the gate is a giant christmas tree put up earlier celebrations. could you lead me through those gates no but we can enter the kremlin through the private entrance a secret entrance for a closed circle is just around the corner. is very easy to get inside the kremlin

together with you as for me i've always wanted to get to the kremlin clock and especially to the bells what was it seems a child i always stood outside looking at the clock and i thought a magician lived there who manage the clock and also when the bells rang i was simply rooted to the ground can i get inside with more to put up with us but you're not dressed warmly enough there was a strong wind up there i was very cold i think you'll have to put on something warmer. this basket tower was the heart of the kremlin's defensive line it was and to suppose that any offensive would come from the southeast and that the tower would be to first attacked as a result of house trifle and artillery units in the may seventeenth century spa sky tower was the first to bear of the team headed to eagle emblem of russia during soviet times they were all with rebbie five pointed star struck. but the

towers true jam has its chimes its clock face has a six meters diameter the rim numerals and clock hands are all gold plated a total of twenty eight kilograms of gold is needed just to coat them. inside this basket tower right now we're going to meet a true tower wizard so you can those are of knows all about how to keep time in this tower oh sicko. so good to meet you so one to cluck appear in the tower. charms we see today has been here since a seems fifty two. clocks appeared on the spot sky tower during the time of trial romanov let me tell you more about them at the top of all that i'm following you. to reach the clock one has to climb nine floors of spiral stairs. hear the clock your stern steadily waking every fifteen minutes to signal the bells to strike every quarter hour for one big hit on the hours and.

fifty two old you know the purpose of the bells ringing previously when few people had watches the chimes informed everyone of the toy. previously the clock course operated manually but since nine hundred thirty seven three electric motors to go over everything else has been preserved in its original form. our clock is the oldest one in the. can you see the pointer at the end. this point to regulates the speed of the clocks motion if the clock blocks behind it increases the speed if it's forced the point to slows it down so they do lag behind. but you never notice it because once it starts to pick up specialists

quickly eliminate the problem acting like an ambulance so far we haven't noticed it but we're close to reeling that's right. this is an ancient bell ringing here a mechanism for setting up melodies at this basket tower it's almost two and a half meters in diameter and what is singing. the national anthem of russia. yes yes. that's strike the melody of russia's national anthem every six hours cables run from the drum below to the very top where the chime in the bell tower. well here are the bells yes we're in the bell tower. if you look over there see it's still house a wooden sealer. forty eight bells hang here in imperial times but were lost during the soviet era today the chimes sing the russian anthem with ten bells and a few metal beats up here attempts stories over the ground it's always very windy.

we've got to go now because the main bells and us are regaining and we are risking the carriage death and also it's very cold so we're getting out of here. skating from the noises of the bells just a few minutes later i find myself near the kremlin central square where people are preparing for especially that so right now we're in a cathedral square where a giant fir tree is being decorated for near celebrations these streets tents between the palaces a warship and the palaces of the stars and can just tell you something one hundred years old which basically means that it was worn when the last start was still

alive. one can see that this. christmas tree has won a very demanding seasonal beauty pageant. gardner spent several months searching moscow regions for the right candidate at least thirty meters tall pyramid shaped and displaying ample flowing each once these criteria is where match the judges ignored the weight and the huge taxi is especially ordered for this christmas tree and it's scary to straight into the kremlin. it's not there any more mirrors high it's like twenty times my height and in no time this tree is going to be wearing at the apartments or walls jewelry and decorations about two thousand. one thousand five hundred meters of garland that's like almost enough to surround the kremlin tussle. the trees decorations from top to bottom to begin with a large star of bethlehem. it is

a quarter of the size of the rugby stars atop the kremlin towers but during the holiday season it is the most important one of all. though they look oversized they ornaments on light kremlin old timers believe that if you have a chance to hang at least one piece on to the tree and make a wish balance to come true. so now we're going to talk to any fellow just like the main decorator on this great believe you or your tree. i wonder how long he's going to score a hot lead us to sergei for how long have you been decorating christmas trees. well this is the first time that i'm decorating this tree for the past four years i've been working with christmas trees at cathedral square so who decides how to decorate a christmas tree which is a design project is drawn up to clearly define how to handle these decorations by the way the total weights of the decorated christmas tree is thirty tons and four

hundred kilos. well if this size of the tree is any indicator the presence under is also promised much. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture. the government no longer represents the people the people are going to take such terms. we.

may not be a revolution in the traditional sense but in the illusion of the moment. the way our economic system currently is not going. to look at. what. caused.

the fire line. to be soon which brightened. evolves from plans to crash and. who screams don't talk don't come. do we speak your language. for music programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles keep the stories. you hear. detroit all teach spanish to find out more was. the next point of my journey is the grand kremlin palace usually it is divinia for important state ceremonies mostly dignitaries are invited here but in the past

children were also received thousands of them came to celebrate. the tradition never reaching holidays for children in the kremlin they expected to more than fifty years the first reception was in the grand kremlin palace his largest whole st georges in one nine hundred fifty flew. back them christmas tree most tracks directly up the stairs through their front door without much thought for the ancient interior over sixty meters deep st george's hall is the size of a football pitch a giant for a tree used to be mounted right here and this massively have the object is to be dragged across this park here floor that was originally late in eight hundred forty five. when it's scraped chanda leers each one weighing three tons by the way and it's tinkling produced an almost surreal eerie chime also large nails were hammered

into this floor to fix this huge christmas tree they can't sue danced and sang in this hall where we're asked not to shuffle because it would ruin the floor nevertheless the interior was heavily damaged even i was asked to come in with soft indoor shoes and i tried my best. these wrongs honor the memory of heroes who received the order of st george for their courage and this is a second generation home custodian is also a fine but a fighter to preserve the homes reconstruction stood one has changed after the reconstruction but i still support the park it has definitely changed do you suppose most because we did it with hard to brownish to make it bright but it's very rare it's going to percent of the park it has survived since eight hundred forty five when it was played. this it percent of the flooring was replays during restoration in one thousand sixty eight thousand nine hundred sixty nine it took.

to restore. the. children's parties were moved to a new building in the early sixty's the kremlin palace of congress and built on the . it's obvious that this building is from the soviet era and it stands in stark contrast with the kremlin's architectural character the palace used to be a key side for communist forums and now it's the most prestigious musical venue in this country and also a stage for the world's greatest artists show as now we're staying elton john tina turner here they made they've all been here. right now we her stores are under way in the state kremlin palace for one performance for thousands of kids. inside we have an appointment with a kremlin oldtimer children's writer alexander mcqueen the script at the very first

children's story we were party from mt fifteen through newton when i think with broken the soviet tradition of staging performances here at the kremlin before on a bike with. the tree would light up then kids would be shown to play with the revolution we speak. with one change the plugs for what it was about a boy toy out of his current situation we were so in the story we sent him to a different time. but on one occasion when i came to the new year policy there was no carpets on the floor i also had just gone through the roof it turned out the during the so some of the children had weapons selves on the carpet out of fear to want to be washed and hung out to dry off to bits. now in days they were your performances are more predictable but still barely colorful nevertheless. my tradition at the end of the show the main character of

the new year celebrations makes his grand entrance was not in the. children always leave kremlin with gifts however the greatest drama is after the show when parents surround the new year straight to pick the children up who risk to disperse like in kremlin inner sanctum. she so how did you like this show was it a kid did it give you a shock. all right so now it's about time to find out where one can even hear it in the kitchen is not far on the fifth floor of the state criminal palace and we're on our way to meet with a sam kremlin chef foot. high you know so we knew curtis was to meet you say the new chef there once talking about just what's here so disused the section where we prepare mostly you would. order food. to

boards i can show you all short let's go let's over there this is our secret here that's where we lose you put the hots for me cools. it with you so if you face people that so you're the chef and you're thirty five boys are they scared of you. you did yes. so this is where all the sugar sins take place on the week before last week. so good and they want to show you where i have the privilege to work for all. this usually you tell me the kitchens are in a basement you cannot promise me to teach how to cook when a president favorite dishes. and i want you to make some kind of mini. european touch i won't use russian troops and make you turn your french.

but this stuff kraft made is mixed with russia bows and salad cream than it is. in the world circles or. shipping them by hand is part. i don't think i'm doing a very good job closing it. says recent russian presidents prefer healthy food and smaller portions to come in chef and meats that you need to be. if is very fond of fish and seafood for example lobster salad. also prefers fish or meat in the kitchen they told us she loves unsophisticated dishes like bread with herring never refuse these local delicacies on a business trips so when someone in the countryside street scene with pickles cucumbers also a traditional russian delicacy the security officers break into a cold sweat as a room only you are very carefully checked before it reaches the presidential mouth . so when you when you prepare for the person you have like secret service guy

you do that with goggles x. raying your food. they call him and take you. to just some busy committees and make sure that most news. in this full of v.a.p. people. alcohol is served only on festive occasions and me to be a little on holidays they prefer beer and wine but he's yeltsin was a lover of liquors and cognac secretary of state of the soviet union. personally promoted vodka at international receptions thanks to him. with prepared cream sauce with parmesan cheese to go with ravioli i guess i can say that i can feed the president now are you going to have some. sort of.

i only live in crime when this is so good. after lunch and there is an order perhaps in stars bedroom i decided first to acquaint myself with those who watch over the peace and quiet in the kremlin. a whole regiment of young soldiers live here guarding the kremlin and the president the bandits. presidential regiment is rehearsing a performance with weapons. are not only soldiers but also honor guards they protected to the unknown soldier at the eternal flame. i thought please show me some special tricks if you like and if you want all right let's do it command is. b. i'm going to unfold the bayonet to go let me show you the superman than the believe them up to the shoulder. to the foot hold the carbine with the right terms not going to cut myself i might get what you want cut yourself i'm told that.

almost no one now shoulder the way but sure but could do with a little of your cold with your left. i'm holding it if you're going to be of be careful and should not lean on the left shoulder. this is the position in which we start be on our guard on the fourth. young man between eighteen and twenty or selected across the country for the presidential regiment. one can see that they are russia's elite in perfect health was a good background and professional appearance. for the guards there we handsome young men of similar hates are chosen so that they look like twins. for their emergency situations when people break the existing rules for example if people step over the chain we warn them with this kind of signal where they're going with signal and tapping the rifle on the ground the public immediately

understands what this noise means and don't go any further. the most frequent violators of the rules are young girls that always try to flirt with the guards but this is to no avail the guards are not allowed to move never mind smile. so here is your signature move it is about we would raise the leg about seventy eighty degrees and move the body forward and put the full foot on the ground you go there with various makes the food you step with your bend a little. quick march. first you're doing it well you could join your company in a couple of months. to the rights. it's time for the guys to prepare for the changing of the guard but i couldn't miss a chance to take a look at their uniform wardrobe. when it is cold we wear ceremonial overcoats

the overcoats are very warm with a strong color can i touch it of course you can. when the temperature is twenty degrees below zero we were warmer uniform cold the because. it is made of plus it is very warm for it feels hot and it even when it's minus twenty. our journey into the heart of kremlin is coming to an end thanks time for me to move behind the kremlin walls so i can make it for the changing of the guards. cigar change every hour daily from eight am to eight pm these guys rape anyone either minus thirty winter torrential rains outrageous hits in the summer but of course the hardest part is to stand there motionless no matter what but hey that's the price you pay to live rent free inside the kremlin.
