(FILE): Daily Life In Moscow
MOSCOW, RUSSIA - MAY 08, 2015: Temple of Christ the Saviour, Moscow. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Russian Orthodox cathedral in Moscow, Russia, on the northern bank of the Moskva River, a few hundred metres southwest of the Kremlin. With an overall height of 103 metres (338 ft), it is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world. The current church is the second to stand on this site. The original church, built during the 19th century, took more than 40 years to build, and was the scene of the 1882 world premiere of the 1812 Overture composed by Tchaikovsky. It was destroyed in 1931 on the order of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
