I've always thought that Kremlin Dusk was about moving on after a breakup or something like that. This is why I think so:
The first part makes sence, since "Lenore" is a lost love, and the person in the text is drinking because - let's say it's a he, just like Poe; he actually had drinking issues too - misses the lost love. 'The Raven' is a symbol of his madness and self-torture. But then the person realizes that his love isn't going to come back, and he has become sober.
In the first part he says that he never will be haunted be the past, but in fact... it's a fight...
he is talking to himself. He can't decide whether he'll move on, or wait for the person who's not going to return to him.
He is a natural entertainer, so he makes it through the day, it's easy to pretend like everything is fine, but like he says, he's holding pieces of dying ember (in 'The Raven' the dying ember is memories of the lost love). He runs a secret propaganda (and that's my favourite line). He acts like he's fine, but if you look closely, there is so many signs that shows that he isn't, and he is actually calling for help.
The last part is about how he wants to move on, although he wants to stay because he still loves 'Lenore'. He is torn by the arms in opposite directions, and asks himself if it's always like that, when you lose someone you love.
