The Cathedral of Christ the Savior
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is one of the most important churches in Moscow. This cathedral has an amazing history. It was constructed to commemorate the victory over Napoleon, blown up by Stalin to make room for the Palace of Soviets, was the site of the world’s largest swimming pool, and was reconstructed again after the fall of the Soviet Union. The cathedral’s official website documents this history with a huge collection of photos, audio and video. The video archive is especially interesting and features video from 1912 to the present.
