Church of Christ's Resurrection in Kadashi

The church of Christ's Resurrection in Kadashi dated 1695 and survived the Bolshevicks with "minor losses" was again in danger in 2002 when the city government decided to allow the construction of office-apartment complex around this jem. Due to negative reaction of the community the project was set aside but not 100% revoked.

  9. Beautiful architecture and thank goodness they didn't take this church down, that really would have been a shame.
