Red Square turn into a skating rink

Every New Year holiday Red Square in Moscow turn into a big skating rink. This rink is very popular and it's always full of people. On the shot you can see the rare maintaining window, which is needed for rebuilding the ice surface. The same procedure you can see in any ice hockey match after each period. The Red Square is a very strange place: from one side of it in a Kremlin wall where is a cemetery and a Lenin's mausoleum, from another where is an amusement and shopping centre. We ourself don't understand how it is possible, but this is there.
