        city's defenses. Every major city in Russia would have had a kremlin, but the Moscow one is

        of the Trinity Cathedral which stood at the southern end of the square. In 1571 the square
        was renamed <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пожар</em></span></strong></span> (The Fire) after the great fire of that year. Finally,
        the square was named <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Красная</em></span></strong></span> when it was cleared of all the trading stalls at the
        end of the 17th century. At that time the word <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">красный</em></span>

          English. The subject [that noun plus its modifiers in the nominative case] can come at the
          beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence. Knowing the nominative case
          endings for nouns and adjectives will help you find the subject of the sentence more
          quickly.</p><p>Adjectives are linked to their nouns by their endings. The adjective may stand in
          front of, after, or at a distance from the noun it modifies. You can always find the
          adjective which modifies a noun by looking for the one whose ending matches in gender,
          number, and case that of the noun.</p><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Это Бел<span class="bold"><strong>ый</strong></span>
