  Scene was shot The Red Square is the most important city square in Moscow, Russia. It separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and now the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod.

Rather, the name came about because the Russian word krasnaya, which means both red and beautiful.
