Pinnacles of St Basil'* Cathedral T^wer, Above ths Red Square, Moscow. (Prepared by ths National 0«o»i«••>*» Society, Washington, D. C.) ED SQUARE, Moscow, la the •try heart and symbol of Russia today. Lenin's temporary wooden •unsolemn, a squat cube on the north ,side of the square, dwarfed by the i<t towering wall behind, Is a world shrine of Communism. Sentries stand guard and a double line of -visitors waits to enter for a glimpse of the § leader whose teachings still live. His || body lies under glass. The dozen domes in spirals, facets and diamonds J§ of yellow, blue, and green, shaped like inverted turnips, of St, Basil's cathedral, glisten In the son. Legend says that after Ivan IV, better known as the Terrible, started this 'J barbaric gem, he had the Italian archl- ? tect blinded so that it never could be || duplicated. However. the* Mat archi- •; tects were Russian, though they did j| not survive the neci mar?<£25 years , to see the completion of their dream. The cathedral in which Napoleon stabled his horses is now a museum, and anybody, for ten cents, can lose himself in its eleven dark, little chapels and maze of narrow, winding tunnels. Through the centuries those bulbous. gaudy domes have looked down on the Red square, watching Russian history, Just as they still rise serene as the square echoes to the tramp of Red army and Soviet workers and the blare of electric amplifiers as party orators hold forth on the platform of Lenin's tomb. From the stone rostrum In front of . the cathedral the ukases of the csars were read. Before its doors Peter the Great executed several hundred of the Streltzi, the old Muscovite militia. Here czars were proclaimed and pretenders were killed. Across that square each proud emperor led the patriarch of the church on a donkey Into the Kremlin, through the Spasskiya (Redeemer) gate, which no 1MB entered from 1647 to 1917 withqM baring his head. * Now Soviet Headquarter*. Hhen the T*. L K, the "parliamentary committee" of Soviet Russia, holds its tnnual meetings, the various types that make up its membership meet inside the Kremlin in the Great palace. Most of the members cntmt:. Bed square and enter Nikolskiya taking the shortest path to the mmtti| place. Two narrow sidewalks separate inside the Nlkolskiya gate. One goes straight ahead along a low terrace outside the arsenal, on which are piled to pyramids the 875 cannons, French, Aafetrian, Prussian, Italian, captured wfcen Napoleon wrote his epilogue In Moscow, In 1812. The other branches off the left, on the opposite side of an open court, past the big white building, once the Palace of Justice and pow the headquarters of the Tz. I. K., ' the seat of government It is a long walk, leading past ancient churclies and palaces. The stacks of old muzzle-loading French on extend for a block, and then the barracks, with a fringe of cannon of the museum vintage. Historic Bell. 'Where the sidewalk skirts^* corner at the old palace and comes^Out above (he high wall overlooking the river, stands the great Czar bell. Why it happens to be put there, hiding behind the corner, history*does not explain. It has been there for 90 years, and probably will remain for several more. Ctearina Ann had it cast in 1735, and 101 years passed before It got out of the foundry which burned around it A 200-ton bell, 66 feet in circumference, and 26 feet high, is not to be handled lightly. It has been raised 4(n a stone foundation as high as a jpan's shoulders, and the broken-out 4thunk sits on the ground In front as If waiting for somebody to lift It back Into place. The plain white sandstone front of the Great palace la chipped and sr stained. Soldiers off duty, some with their wives or sweethearts and children, loaf along the sidewalk on top of the wall or fit on the window tills of the palace. Two at the door ask each person who steps up to show a ticket, passing him with the familiar Pazhaluista (please), a polite way of saying "Go ahead" in Russian. Inside, the narrow entrance Is finished in coffee-colored marble, and Is neither as large nor as Impressive as many hotels or railroad stations In the United States. When the delegates are meeting, a wooden stall covered with red bunting is on one side. From it supplies are distributed to each member, several volumes of bulky reports, a lead pencil, and pad of paper,, not as genrous as the "boodle bags" of American legislatures, which in years gone by, contained everything from a hairbrush and fountain pen to an annual railroad pass. Royal Pathway. ' The main stairway which guests of royalty once eagerly mounted is narrow as palace steps -go and has the same plain marble balustrade. It la covered with a red carpet, probably the one which the last Nicholas trod. At the top a narrow passageway on the right goes nowhere, and a broader one on the left leads into the former thrbne room, where the sessions are held. On the wall of the narrow passageway hangs Tvon's Immense oil painting of the Battle of Kulikovo between the Russians and Tatars. Imposing Chamber. To the right of the small reception room is the lofty St. George room, largest in the palace, 200 by 70 feet and 60 feet high, a vast room without a column to break its expanse of white marble. A regiment could stand in that room and airplanes fly overhead. When the Ts. L K. meets, St George room Is the stenographers' workroom. Half of It fenced off, with the Husslan for "No Admittance" on the gate. Down one side are long wooden tables on sawhorse legs, where bobbed-haired secretaries write and smoke. On the other side are separate tables for members' conferences. Smaller tables are in the window seats In the open half of the hall. Those wearied with the session can loaf, smoke, drink tea, or play chess. Down a few steps from this room toward the old wtatf of the palace la the St Vladimir room and the Red staircase, the latter once used only by royalties. St Andrew's hall, a long, narrow, vaulted, overdecorated room, 160 by 70 feet and 60 feet high, is the legislative seat of the Soviet government Once it was the throne room, where the czars of all the Ruasias, after Peter the Great moved the capital to St Petersburg, came for their second coronatlon, carrying out the tradition that a Muscovite ruler must be crowned in Moscow. In those days a throne stood in the farther end of the hall. For the first few sessions of the Tz. I. K., a curtain was dropped In front of the throne. Later special furniture in dark, stained wood was installed and a solid partition was erected to the lofty celling in front of the thrones. In its center, the Soviet seal of sickle and hammer in red and gold face the members. * Various Types of Russians. Where once stood princes and ambassadors the many types of Russians now sit There are peasants and workmen in belted smocks, others in white collars, high boots, and low shoes; conventional-appearing profes slonal men; Mohammedans wearing black astrakhan fezzes; Mongols In flowing coats and fur caps with plush crowns; Caucasians with little em broidered skull caps; women, bareheaded, and with kerchiefs tightly Wrapped around their heads.
