      🏛 Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces

      Одинцовский округ, Минское ш., 55-й км, парк «Патриот»

      A huge khaki-coloured Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, consecrated in 2020, with mosaics on military themes.

      • The church is 95 metres tall including the cross and holds up to 6,000 people inside.
      • The dimensions are symbolic: the main dome's drum is 19.45 m across, for the year 1945.
      • The 75 m bell tower is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory, and the small dome, 14.18 m high, to the 1,418 days of the war.
      • The mosaics cover 2,644 m², matching the number of full cavaliers of the Order of Glory.
      • The 80-tonne central dome was lifted onto the church on 15 November 2019.
      • The lower church is finished with ceramics painted in Gzhel style.
      • The side chapels are dedicated to the patrons of the military branches: Elijah the Prophet to the Aerospace Forces and Airborne Troops, Barbara to the Strategic Missile Forces, Andrew the First-Called to the Navy, and Alexander Nevsky to the Ground Forces.
      • Patriarch Kirill consecrated the church on 14 June 2020, and it was officially opened on 22 June, the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow.
