Three structures alongside the Kremlin and Red Square. I believe they are the State Historical Museum, the Resurrection Gate (Iberian Gate) and the Kazan Cathedral (Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan).
Most interestingly is the Resurrection Gate, on the other side from where I took my photo is the extremely tiny Iveron Chapel. Legend holds that everyone on his or her way into the Red Square or the Kremlin would stop and pray before entering. Everyone, be it a beggar, an outlaw, even the Tsar himself would pray together at this spot. At this one small space, equality existed among all man in Russia. Even if only for a fleeting moment.
