Soviet era slick, magazine-like museum guidebook to the Kremlin and appurtenant architectural wonders and treasure palaces. Sorry, no Lenin's tomb or obvious political tones...just culture here. It was strategic in the Soviet Union to leave some cultural monuments alone to safe point the Soviet state as a normal, responsible government. Art museums matched that agenda.
