The Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces near Moscow, dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of #Victory over Nazism, was consecrated by the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus. Decorated with glass and metal it is a one-of-a-kind wonder.

Thanks a lot for pointing this out! The iconography of it is fascinating. Especially if you compare it to an example from the end of Pasternak/Lean's Dr. Zhivago where Lara & Yuri's daughter proudly points to the huge Soviet dam her boyfriend operates.

I thought you would appreciate it.
Marking his rule of Russia with a Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces is certainly an interesting choice considering Russia's more recent history. It sure won't be as easy to topple as a statue. I wonder if Putin has more works in progress.
