Usually we do a pretty decent job with church architecture, though we've had a few disappointments here in the USA. This looks to me as if the Moscow Patriarchate was trying a little too hard to 1)draw a clumsily-expressed connection between Church and Russian culture 2)play on the same field with the artsy Parisians "Ve not borink - ve cool and excitink, like you!" At least the temple itself is recognizable as such. And I predict the interior will be beautiful.Yianninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-86807847579244582842012-03-02T11:28:34.774+00:002012-03-02T11:28:34.774+00:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xDXQv-IyQA
