I was glad to see Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev, whose "conservative" credentials are impeccable, showing us that there are Orthodox Russians who have serious issues with this project.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Protodeacon Andrei!
DeleteIt's worth the effort of evangelization of the Russian state and people. What would you prefer something like the US army where worship of satan is rife. Let Russia alone its the last hope in a world where given history it is increasingly difficult to be white and Christian

Russia still has a sense of Christendom. They've kind of repurposed it, borrowing the atheists' victory over the Nazis and fitting it into a Russian narrative. But really it's always been Russia, which is why Solshenitzyn went back.
ReplyDeleteIt is an incredible, awe-inspiring Cathedral, the kind we don't even remember how to make. Or never learned, actually. It stands in marked contrast to our secular state and our religious buildings. And they are actually preserving their heritage, not tearing it down.

ReplyDeleteFrom an architectural view, really find this cathedral interesting and has beauty, very Parisian/Victorian almost steampunk. I still prefer the Naval Cathedral in Krondstat which is absolutely gorgeous. (the real Cathedral of the armed forces)
ReplyDeleteDont know why we needed this, 30 minute walk from the nearest town (that has a new church), far from any military installation and in a giant museum. Very odd rational as a church and it concerns me its use as monument, the church shouldn't let itself be used as a political message.
