"I had thought about landing in the Kremlin, but there wasn't enough space"

Mathias Rust was a German aviator who, in 1987, flew a small airplane from Finland to Moscow, landing in Red Square. This quote is from Rust himself, assessing his trip and also the choice to land in Red Square. He had actually considered landing in the Kremlin, the fortified facility in the facility of Moscow, but eventually determined versus it because of the absence of space. This choice was likely due to the fact that the Kremlin is a heavily guarded location, and Rust likely understood that he would not have the ability to land safely in such a restricted location. Corrosion's decision to land in Red Square instead of the Kremlin was a strong step, and one that ultimately led to his apprehension as well as imprisonment. His quote shows his thought process as well as the dangers he agreed to absorb order to make his trip a success.
