Among numerous sights of Moscow Izmaylovsky Kremlin is remarkable for its authentic Russian architecture.
Wooden and stone constructions were built according to drawings dating back to the 16-17th centuries. Decorated with frescoes and carvings, the constructions fully recapture the atmosphere of traditional Russian courtyard.

I like visiting the Kremlin of Izmailovo from time to time. It is a pleasure for me to see its Russia-specific architecture, colorful towers and wooden stairs. It is like stepping back in time…
By the way, the Kremlin hosts a wonderful flea market at weekends. There you can buy antique furniture, interior design items, art objects and plenty of other things. Those who know say you’d better be poorly-dressed because if you want to bargain something, you should not look too wealthy. Once I met a very interesting man there. He was selling old Soviet bills and original posters for old movies. That time movie posters were taken very seriously – each one was personally signed by a movie director whenever they approved of them. We talked for a while with the man and he showed me an exclusive thing – a poster for a legendary Soviet movie They Fought For Their Country with its director Sergey Bondarchuk’s original signature put in the early 70s. The seller asked me if I knew Sergey Bondarchuk’s son Fyodor as he wanted to hand that poster over to him. I called to my friends and now, I hope this poster is in Fyodor’s collection. If I met him once, I would ask about it.
We had a great fun guide and informative. Loved the areas we visited. Russian works of art, architecture ,vodka museum. Our entry was 14:00 and guide spot on time! Well organized, polite and professional.
