4.5 based on 274 reviews
Built in 1993, this is a replica of the 17th century church built to commemorate victory over the Poles and demolished in the 1930s by the Bolsheviks.
Reviewed By drogilmour - Guatemala City, Guatemala
The shrines of the church include the icon of Kazan Mother of God, Our Lady of Upbringing and a relic with particles of 83 orthodox saints. Kazan was mostly populated by Tatars, Mongol invaders of Russia and Europe, who were Muslim. Legend has it that one night before a battle, the tsar heard the chiming of the bells of Moscow, then an icon appeared to the people and immediately began to perform miraculous healing work, after which many people converted to Orthodox Christianity. By the 1930s, the Soviet government resolved to have it demolished. The Red Square was supposed to become a site for holding socialist ceremonies. The church was recreated in 1990–1993, so the modern building is, in fact, a brand new structure, check the frescoes by the entrance hall, all are dated 1990. Religious services take place in the mornings and evenings.

7. Resurrection (Voskresenskyie) Gates with Iverskaya Chapel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 148 reviews
One of the most honoured of Moscow's holy places, the chapel and gates were taken down in the 1930s and rebuilt in the 1990s.
Reviewed By drogilmour - Guatemala City, Guatemala
In 1931, the Resurrection Gate was demolished, together with almost the entire Kitai-gorod Wall, as part of the urban street widening project to allow for the military parades of the Soviet. The Gate and the Chapel were rebuilt in 1995. Historically, the Resurrection Gate was one of the gates in the Kitai-Gorod wall which was reputed to be the greatest fortification of ancient Moscow. Right in front of the gate there is the Kilometer Zero sign "Nulevogo kilometra" – this is the centre of Moscow and the starting point for measuring all distances in Russia.

The Moscow Print Yard was the first publishing house in Russia that was established at the behest of Ivan the Terrible in 1553. There the first Russian printed book was produced and Ivan Fedorov worked. There are some objects of cultural heritage on the Yard: the original fragment of Kitai-Gorod wall (1530s), two Chambers of The Moscow Print Yard (15-19th century) and an unusual building of Synodal Printing House. The historic headquarters of the Print Yard now house the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Nikolskaya street is a gem of Moscow which, in its turn, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. For sure, in these dull and desolate Christmas covid days in Europe and USA this bustling and defiantly careless megapolis is a bright spot on the Northern Hemisphere's map. We were there yesterday - me, my wife, our two children, our daughter-in-law and our three grandchildren, a girl and two boys. Nikolskaya was crowded. Packed cafes and restaurants, street musicians, masqueraded millennials - angels and devils, knights, robots, ruffians, even slightly drunken Putin's lookalike! - what a contrast to despondent Western cities! We walked there, then progressed to the Red Square, then to the Manezhnaya square, then to Alexandrovskiy gardens, to watch change of guard by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Hordes of people. Moscow, I love you! You're forever young, glittering, resilient, fortitudinous, flamboyant and charming. Outta sight!
