Plaza
Red Square
Krasnaya ploshad, Moskva, 109012
Vast paved plaza beside the Kremlin walls, ringed by onion-domed cathedrals and a landmark department store.
This guide to Red Square in Moscow turns on a single evening in May 1987, when an eighteen-year-old West German pilot with barely any flying experience slipped past Soviet air defenses and set his small plane down in the middle of the square. You'll hear how fighter jets found him twice in the air and what happened when startled Muscovites reached his plane before any soldier did. Best heard standing near the bridge, looking toward the Kremlin walls.
