Worth visiting!
The Kremlin, Red Square and Gorki Park
We stayed in the National, overlooking Red Square, exquisite! St Basils, was disappointing, better outside than in. It looks beautiful, all the cupula are different, not just in colour, but design as well. Inside are a number of small chapels, on the upper floors, not the large expanse we were expecting. The Russian museum is well worth a visit.The square is a wonderous site to see at night, when it is all lit up. Unfortunately Lenin was off for his annual overhaul, so I cannot comment on that.
The Kremlin has a museum, which will make your eyes bleed. Full of examples of the oppulence of the Czars. The chapels have Gold Cupula, inside are large chapel areas, worth seeing.
Gorki Pak has a russian version of the Space Shuttle on display, however it and the funfair look a bit jaded.
Visit Moscow, at least once. You will see more Maybach, BMW, Audi and Mercedes limosines than any other place in the world.
