The Kazansky Cathedral

The Kazansky Cathedral

On the Red Square, between the State Historical Museum and famous department store named GUM, you can see nowadays a beautiful colorful tiny church named the Kazansky Cathedral.

The Kazansky Cathedral , which has become a symbol of religion revival in Russia, was built in 1630-1633 with money donated by Prince Dmitry Pozharsky (his monument located in front of St. Basil Cathedral) in honor of the miracle-working Kazan icon of the mother of God (protected this city from enemies from Asia, tatars and mongols).

The Cathedral was destroyed during the expansion of Red Square in 1930 (it was almost 300 anniversary of this church)to make room for heavy military vehicles driving through the square. The church was reconstructed at the mid 90s and recently, at the end of 2005, it was repainted (renovated), so that in present time it looks shining and colorful as like brand new.

Arthur is one of the kindest and most helpful people I have met. There is NO ONE I would rather have help me to resolve complex planning and schedule plans then him. I had to trust Arthur with thousands of dollars with nothing more than a promise he would handle complex business transactions for our family. Not only did he preform outstanding on these task but also saved us thousands of dollars with his skill and ability to communicate with people.

If you travel in Russia and need a guide, friend and skilled negotiator Arthur is your man. Not only that but he takes wonderful professional pictures as you travel. I would totally trust Arthur with any of my most treasured possessions............how many people can you say that about ? I don’t know about you, but I think they are few and far between.

I am happy to give you my telephone number (770) 844-0084 in the United States should you wish to confirm any information.

Thank you Arthur for helping us with everything.
