The Moscow Kremlin is a fortified complex at the heart of Russia's capital, serving as the official residence of the country's president and the symbolic center of Russian political power.
Its distinctive red walls and towers, along with cathedrals and palaces dating from the 15th century, make it both a seat of government and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
When news reports mention "the Kremlin," they typically mean the Russian government itself.
