The Kremlin Ring (Russian: Кремлёвское кольцо; transliteration: Kremlovskoye Koltso), is the ring road that runs around the Moscow Kremlin along a line that largely coincides with the borders of Kitay-gorod.

Term

Since 1992, the name “Kremlin Ring” has been given to the first route of the Five Rings of Moscow cycling race.^[1] In the official documents of the Government of Moscow, this term, as a designation of a highway, began to appear no later than the first half of the 2000s.^[2] The publicist Aleksander Toroptsev wrote in 2007: "... not a single map of Moscow, not a single textbook on Moscow studies has such a historical and geographical term - the Kremlin Ring, although the ring itself exists, and it has a history, and geography, and cultural values, and architectural masterpieces, and, moreover, there is a certain, if I may say so, urban unity of the Kremlin Ring".^[3] The term began to be actively used in the second half of the 2010s, during the implementation of the My Street program.^[4] The term also appeared on the official scheme of night bus routes in Moscow.^[5]

In the 1997 book "Moscow: An Architectural Guide" instead of the term "Kremlin Ring", the name "Semiring of Central Squares" is used.^[6]
