Location
The ring is formed by the following city passages (clockwise): Borovitskaya Square , Mokhovaya Street , Okhotny Ryad , Theater Passage , Lubyanskaya Square , New Square , Old Square , Kitaygorodsky Passage , Moskvoretskaya Embankment , Kremlyovskaya Embankment , nameless passage from the Kremlin Embankment to Borovitskaya Square. Like Boulevard (but unlike, for example, from Sadovy ), the Kremlin ring does not cross the Moscow River and is located only on the left bank of this river.
Car traffic on the Kremlin ring is currently carried out in only one direction, clockwise. A number of public transport routes follow the ring.
From 1961 to 1990, approximately a third of the length of the Kremlin ring was united under the name of Prospect Marx .
