Why is the government building of the Russian Federation also called "White House"?

When the word White House is mentioned, the presidential palace of the United States will immediately come to mind, which is caused by the unique influence of the United States in the world. The White House is the brain of the United States, which is the only superpower in the world. In fact, the government building of the Russian Federation, which is also the top military power in the world like the United States, is also known as the White House, which is little known in China. But if it is the Russian people, when it comes to the White House, the first thing that comes to mind is the federal government building, and then the US presidential palace in Washington.

1922, the Soviet Socialist Union was founded, which is what we usually call the Soviet Union. The supreme authority of the Soviet Union is the Supreme Soviet, and the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet is the head of state of the Soviet Union. In 1960s, the Soviet people built a magnificent office and conference building for supreme soviet of the ussr. The overall color of this office building is mainly white, so it is called the White House.

From199165438+the disintegration of the Soviet Union on February 25th to 1993. Although the Bolshevik Party has lost its leading position in Russia, this White House has always been the seat of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation. 1993, there was a fierce conflict between the parliamentary faction headed by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation and the presidential faction headed by Yeltsin. Yeltsin did not hesitate to call the Russian army and attack the White House with heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks. The parliamentary faction headed by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation was forced to surrender unconditionally.

After Yeltsin bombarded the White House, he abolished the Russian Supreme Soviet and handed over the supreme legislative power to the Federal Council and the State Duma, namely, the upper house and the lower house of Russia. The White House building was transformed into the office building of the Russian Federation government. Please note that the Russian White House is only a government office building, and the Russian Presidential Palace is located in the Kremlin, so its fame and influence are far less than that of the US Presidential Palace.
