Celebrities visiting Red Square

No doubts, every self-respected foreigner must come to Red Square during the day and take a picture of miracle of miracles, bright and cheery color explosion – St. Basil’s Cathedral. “Cathedral comes out of the depths of the earth, like a volcano. It seems as if its central pyramidal head preparing to start as space rocket”, wrote Newspaper L’Express, France. Yes, just for the sake of this masterpiece you should arrive in Moscow … And then go back and enjoy Red Square in the night lights – from the windows of GUM to red stars of the Kremlin. And among the celebrities visiting Red Square – stars of show business, politicians, actors, athletes, and artists, who at least once in their life, visited Red Square.
