The Grand Kremlin Palace is one of the Moscow Kremlin palaces. It was constructed in 1838−1849 by order of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia by famous architect K. Thon. The Palace serves as the ceremonial residence of the head of state.

Prominent Moscow architects participated in the construction of the Palace, among them N. Chichagov, F. Richter, P. Gerasimov, V. Bakarev, N. Shokhin.

Its five reception halls on the first floor of the palace - St Andrew, St Alexander, St George, St Vladimir and Catherine Halls - are dedicated to Russian orders with their elements embedded in the stucco decoration of each hall.

In the 20th century, the rooms and halls of the Grand Kremlin Palace were used for negotiations and summit meetings, sessions of the Council of the Union and the Council of Nationalities, as well as of various commissions during sessions of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. During World War II, the Grand Kremlin Palace was used to hold ceremonial meetings with foreign delegations.

Presently, the Grand Kremlin Palace is the venue for the most ceremonial events of national importance. It is used for the President's inauguration ceremonies, presentation of governmental awards and credentials, and festive receptions.

The souvenir sheet features a panorama facing the Grand Kremlin Palace.
