The Kremlin is a building in Moscow in which the USSR’s government was housed that is now home to the Russian presidential administration. The term is also often frequently used to refer to the government, the authorities, and “the powers that be”. The word “kremlin” itself means simply a fortress, and so there are “kremlins” in other Russian towns and cities. However, the word normally refers to the Kremlin in Moscow.Wikipedia
