Who was in Moscow, knows Russia.

Karamzin N.

At Ivanovskaya Square of the Kremlin Ivan the Great Bell Tower with Uspenska and Filaretovsky belfries rises. Construction of a bell tower was started by Bon Fryazin in memory of Ivan III on the place of church of St Iohan Lestvichnik. Petrok Maly continued the construction and Russian master Fedor Kon has finished it. The bell tower has taken a modern form about 1600 year and before the existence of Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg was the highest building in Russia. Around a bell tower, there were yards and economic constructions of boyars, monarchic soldiers of people and prikazy. They later have become the ministries. As the Kremlin walls lost the defensive value, the everyday life moved out of their limits.
