| dc.description | General view, showing the southeast corner, looking north, with the Trinity Tower in view at right; A large modern building inside the Moscow Kremlin. The building was built under personal insistence of Nikita Khruschev as a modern arena for Communist Party meetings. Although the architecture of the projected building contrasted sharply with the historic milieu, building work started in 1959. The building is a modern glass and concrete design and nearly half of it (17 metres) submerged underground. Externally the palace is faced with white marble and the windows are tinted and reflective.
