Elizabeth and Amanda in front of the rebuilt Resurection gate with the chapel to the Iberian Virgin. This all was torn down at Stalin's order so his big military parades could pass through here into Red Square. In Tsarists times the chapel had a special icon of the Iberian Virgin to which all Russians paid respects. They are standing in the brass circle the center of which has a marker for Kilometer Zero from which road distances are measured. |
