Red Square is the site of the main new Year's Eve celebrations for residents of Moscow and across Russia , with a massive and spectacular fireworks display taking place at midnight and associated events throughout the day.
The buildings surrounding the Square are all significant in some respect. Lenin's Mausoleum, for example, contains the embalmed body of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union . Nearby to the south is the elaborate brightly-domed Saint Basil's Cathedral and the palaces and cathedrals of the Kremlin.
