Ivan's restoration of the Kremlin was mostly a power play. He wanted to build a giant palace to show how great and big and important Russia was so he decided to restore the Kremli. So the answer is to show other nations a symbol of Russian power. They would see how artistically and architecturally developed Russia was, but also that it has money for such a feat.

Answer: The correct answer is : Ivan III restored the Kremlin to provide work for many unemployed Russian peasants, to have a place where the Russian Orthodox Church could grow, to have a symbol of Russian power in order to show it to other nations and to shelter the members of the army that I was going to use to defeat the Tatars.
