Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, restored the Kremlin in Moscow primarily **to show other nations a symbol of Russian power**. This restoration was part of a broader effort to consolidate and assert the authority of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, as well as to demonstrate the strength and sovereignty of Russia following the fall of the Byzantine Empire. The Kremlin became not only a political and military stronghold but also a symbol of the renewed power of Russia under Ivan III's leadership.
