Definition of "Kremlin"

Goldwater brought the peace issue into focus early in the campaign with a series of statements implying that he would more than willingly threaten to use, or even use, nuclear weapons to gain American ends. Statements such as "I want to lob one into the men's room of the Kremlin and make sure I hit it" created the image of an impulsive man who shoots from the hip, who talks and acts first and thinks afterward.

Moscow has put itself into a unique historical position: It does not have a single ally among the major powers of the world. The Kremlin faces potential adversaries in Western Europe, China, Japan, Canada, and the United States, whose combined gross national products account for over 60 percent of the world economy.
