Nouns ending in a soft sign can be either masculine or feminine (most are feminine). Masculine nouns ending in a soft sign include словарь = ‘dictionary’ and Кремль = ‘Kremlin’. In the location situation their ending changes from soft sign to -e: в словаре = ‘in the dictionary’; в Кремле = ‘in the Kremlin’. Feminine
soft-sign-ending nouns in the location situation change the soft sign to -и:
площадь = ‘square’, Сибирь = ‘Siberia’: на площади = ‘in / on the square’; в Сибири = ‘in Siberia’; Мы хотим узнать всё о Сибири = ‘we would like to find out everything about Siberia’.

путь = ‘way’ in the location situation ends in -и:
в пути = ‘on the way’;
Поезд ещё в пути = ‘the train is still on its way’;
время в пути = ‘travelling time’.

EXAMPLES ￬
When saying to where you are going, feminine nouns ending in -ия change to -ию: в Россию = ‘to Russia’. But feminine nouns ending in a soft sign do not change at all in the ‘to where’ situation:
Я хочу поехать в Сибирь = ‘I want to go to Siberia’.

Российский президент работает в Кремле.
