The area which the Kremlin covers is significantly larger, and the White House in Moscow (the seat of Russian government) is also significantly larger than the White house in Washington D.C.. Bottom line in Russia is that almost everything is on a grand scale. Their traffic jams being another case in point ..

Of course, Kremlin is bigger. It's not an isolated building but a kind of a castle district. Centuries ago it was a fortified heart of Moscow where a lot of things were located: palace of the Grand Prince (later Tsar), houses of boyars (traditional Russian aristocracy) and common people, monasteries and churches, etc. Now it is an official residence of the Russian president. There are a several buildings which belongs to the President's Administration. Also there are few old cathedrals, museums, a nice garden, and a so called Palace of Congresses. The latter is ugly big building erected in 60s to host Congresses of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and other big official events.
