The Russian flag flies over the Kremlin between the spires of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, on Thursday, December 26, 1991. After Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev stepped down on Dec. 25, 1991, people strolling across Moscow's snowy Red Square on the evening of Dec. 25 were surprised to witness one of the 20th century’s most pivotal moments – the Soviet red flag over the Kremlin pulled down and replaced with the Russian Federation's tricolor.
