The glare of Moscow fire
(The picture by Vereschagin)
The horror of fire... It was like a flood of fire. And against its backgroung there were cloaked with smoke silhouettes of the Spasskaya Tower of the Kremlin and the domes of the St.Basil Cathedral. Something is on fire on the Red Square; at that time there were many wooden buildings there. And behind the St.Basil Cathedral the view looks like a huge terrible bloody curtain from the ground to the sky, it is Zamoskvorechie (the Moscow suburb) on fire...
