"You probably think it's the white house of Russia" I used to think that, until I learned that the parliament building in Moscow is named the White House and was shelled by Yeltsin's tanks in 1993.

Hello from Russia! Yeah, you got it, Kremlin was built to protect the most important thing in City, but Moscow actually had other walls, but it was destroyed, except some really old towers like Kitai-gorod. But, if you look at map of Moscow you will see, that there are some circles around the center(Kremlin and Red square), that means that old walls was there, at the places, where roads now. P. S. I like your videos!
@sdasdgfdgd2931
Finally an explantion to this term. This was very informative thank you
@idkwh4tt0puthere
We have the same thing in France, the walled off part of the city inside the wall is called the 'bourg' and people living inside the walled city (the upper class) were called the 'bourgeois'

A seasoned British journalist is sent to Russia to do a special report on “the Kremlin.” His editors want inside stories, cold shadows, and iron curtains. Upon arrival in Moscow, he meets his local guide. “I’d like a close look at the Kremlin,” he says, flipping open his notebook. “You know—the epicenter of all the political intrigue.” The guide nods and says, “We’ll head there right away.” They tour the majestic Moscow Kremlin: the red walls, cathedrals, and towers. The journalist scribbles eagerly. A few days later, they travel to the city of Kazan. The guide casually points to another fortified complex. “This is the Kazan Kremlin,” he says. The journalist pauses. “Kazan... has a Kremlin too?” “Of course,” the guide smiles. “There’s also one in Novgorod, Pskov, Tobolsk… just about any old Russian city.” The journalist lowers his pen, eyes wide. “So you mean to tell me... for decades, the West has been holding its breath over a word that basically means ‘fortress’?” The guide shrugs. “Well, we did try to tell you.”
@Dude_589
So it’s basically the ‘Heart’ of the city?
@ivan_kankan
In fact the Russian cities did have walls, but they were demolished in 18-19 centuries

@master-z7w2v
In soviet Russia, you don't live in a Kremlin, the Kremlin lives in ur heart
@mononokehimefan
Thanks! Learned something new today!
@tomfarbmann662
I used to think it’s called Kremlin because of how St Basil cathedral spires look like ice cream
@donvitocorleone7067
Something similar can be said about Greece and the term Acropolis... When you hear Acropolis you can probably think of the Parthenon in Athens. But the Acropolis is usually a fortified position on top of a hill. Almost every ancient Greek city had its own acropolis.
@brxxkn
As Russian, its not exactly like that. Yes it’s true about central city, but most of the times Kremlin was all the city, like no any other parts outside of it. Moscow just got bigger progressively, and that’s why Kremlin looks so small compared with Moscow
