Moscow is a fascinating city.. such great architecture! The top photo is a nice shot, nothing special, but well composed.
The second is probably the best of the bunch. I'm guessing this is some type of church, based on the crosses on top. The colors are just fantastic, and everything is so crisp and clear.
The bottom photo is the one I have some problems with. It looks as though you you used a wide angle lens in a confined area. This almost always causes curvature at the edges of the picture, which is really detracting, as it sets everything at unnatural angles. Some folks do this deliberately, and I'm not sure if it's the look you were trying to get, but these type of pictures tend to make me a bit dizzy.

1 & 2 for me are the most effective. The 2nd one being a slightly more effective one than the 1st. But I also like the 1st one's scene. Love to visit Moscow one day.

I especially love your 2nd picture - the brilliance of the sky & the building. Very nice capture.
As a point of interest, I am attaching a pic I took of the same building (I think) at Red Square in 2002. As you can see, the building at that time was having a facelift. Even with my lousy shot, you can see how wonderful the building looks now compared to 4 years ago. And your picture brings it out splendidly.
Thanks for posting the picture. i was looking at the brilliant color of the domes and wondered how they kept them so clean. I wondered how often they repainted it, and I think you've helped answer that.
really cool shots! great technical execution, except - the perspective distortion really hurts the second shots, and totally kills the 3rd for me. if you could take it from a different angle that would be much cooler! the first one has no visible perspective distortion (if it does i didnt notice it). I think the first one is a great shot.
WOW yakkosmurf !!! Those are awesome pictures! The first picture of the Kremlin is outstanding, and so is the picture of St. Basil's Cathedral (I didn't think of taking a picture of it from that side ) I'm not sure about the last pictures angle... I couldn't get a single good picture of that building, the color played tricks with my camera, lol.
You must have taken those pictures on a week day not too many people around.
