Reconstruction was completed in 1999, under the auspices of architect M. Posokhin, whose design team worked directly from Thon's extant drawings as well as a variety of other archival materials to ensure the greatest possible fidelity to the original (appendix 1, no. 17).

 The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square: Kremin Guide
The Great Kremlin Palace was built in 1838-49 from a design by a group of Russian architects under Konstantin Thon for Emperor Nicholas I and his family.
The grandiose dimensions of the palace made it necessary to first clear a large area in the part of the Kremlin where the palaces of the grand princes and tsars traditionally stood.
The terrace formed by the projection of the ground floor, the division of the facade by pilasters, the white-stone window surrounds with double arches and hanging pen dants all echo the Terem Palace built in the seventeenth century.

Whether this symbolizes the pre-perestroika relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States, well, I leave that to someone with a knowledge of Russian life, someone who can parse some of the subtle cultural references in the film; but the inference seems inescapable.
The actual story begins with a sad-eyed everyman, Anton Gorodetsky (Konstantin Khabensky), depressed that his ex-girlfriend is now with another man and seeking the help of an old woman who has, she claims, a knowledge of herbs and charms.
When the old woman proves to be a Dark Other witch and is busted by the Night Watch for trying to turn Anton toward the service of evil, he learns that he himself is an Other, though not a very powerful one.
