Kitai-gorod

Kitay-gorod , also referred to as the Great Possad in the 16th-17th centuries, is a cultural and historical area within the central part of Moscow, Russia, defined by the markings of now almost entirely razed fortifications, narrow streets and very densely built cityscape. It is separated from the Moscow Kremlin by Red Square. Kitay-gorod does not constitute a district (raion), as there are no resident voters, thus, municipal elections are not possible. Rather, the territory has been part of Tverskoy District and is managed directly by Central Administrative Okrug authorities (since 2003).
