The wooden structure was not built for protection as its name would suggest Instead, it was established as a cultural centre and market place modelled after traditional architecture and fairy-tale depictions of Old Russia. The complex is home to several museums dedicated to toys, dresses, life, vodka, crafts, trade, chocolate, bread and vodka and It also features a replica of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich’s summer palace where visitors can experience a traditional Russian meal. -- - - - ---- - - -- ----- - - -- - - -- --- - - -- - ######  Steepshot | [IPFS](http://steepshot.org/ipfs/QmTqLYuXwwthmYVUk9uVbcWJRfLwGrj6u2FVPUdnvzJX6K) | [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid.steepshot)
