Church of St. Catherine in Saint Petersburg
The Catholic Church of Saint Catherine is the oldest Catholic church in the Russian Federation and the only church with the title of basilica. It is located on the Nevsky Prospekt and is a part of the Archdiocese of Moscow headed by Msgr. Paolo Pezzi.
In 1738 Empress Anna granted permission for the church to erect a structure on Nevsky Prospekt, the main street of St. Petersburg.
The Catholic Church of St. Catherine is connected with many important personalities of Imperial Russia and other countries. In 1798, Stanisław II Augustus, the last king of Poland, was buried at the church, as was, in 1813, the French general Jean Victor Marie Moreau. One parishioner of the church was Auguste de Montferrand, who would go on to build the Saint Isaac's Cathedral. Auguste de Montferrand married in the church and later had a wake here before his wife took his coffin back to France. Even in Imperial Russia, several well-known aristocrats had accepted Catholicism.
The church was run by different monastic orders in its history. Originally run by Franciscans in 1800 Emperor Paul I turned the church over to the Jesuits. In 1815, the church was run by Dominicans, and finally, in 1892, the church ceased to be governed by an order and fell under the auspices of Diocesan priests, though a Dominican community remained at the church. On the eve of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the church membership numbered more than thirty thousand parishioners.
Under the Soviets, the activities of the church were repressed. The rector of St. Catherine's Church, Monsignor Konstantin Budkevich, was shot in the Lubyanka Prison on Easter Sunday, 1923. The church, however, remained open until 1938. In 1938 the church was closed and ransacked. Artifacts, icons, and books from the church's splendid library were thrown out to the street. The church was further damaged by a fire in 1947, that destroyed the internal decorations of the church and its organ.
For 30 years, the building was used only as storage space for the nearby Museum of History of Religion and of Atheism located in the former Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan. In late 1970s plans were made to rebuild the church as an organ hall for the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. These plans were never completed, however, as the building was again ravaged by fire in 1984. Instead, the government used the building as offices and apartments.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Catholic Church in Russia began to operate once more in the early 1990s. In February 1992, city authorities decided to return the building to the Catholic Church. That same year, the church began rebuilding. According to the church, after being closed by the Soviets in 1938, a 20-year-old woman went into the ransacked temple and retrieved the crucifix out of the sanctuary. When the building was returned to the Catholic Church, she returned the crucifix. The first stage of restoration was finished by October 1992, with a temporary altar in place for worship. In October 1998 a Chapel of the Annunciation was opened. The main altar was completed and blessed in 2000. The restoration of most of the church was completed in 2003, and the central gates were opened. Restoration of the interior of the church is ongoing.

Monasteries in Moscow: past and present
A short sketch about visiting three ancient monasteries of Moscow: Novospassky Monastery (0:37), Pokrovsky Monastery (3:48) and Danilov Monastery (6:31). The walls of these monasteries saw a lot: the emergence of an empire, revolution, repression (in many monasteries during the USSR, security forces and prisoners were located), the collapse of the USSR and the period of restoration of lost historical values.

Нарвские триумфальные ворота в Санкт-Петербурге
SAINT PETERSBURG - Trinity Cathedral
The Trinity Cathedral is a late example of the Empire style, built between 1828 and 1835 to a design by Vasily Stasov. It is located due south of the Admiralty on Izmaylovskiy Prospekt, not far from the Tekhnologichesky Institut Metro station.
Inside Church of the Savior on Blood in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Architecturally, the Cathedral differs from St. Petersburg's other structures. The city's architecture is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical, but the Savior on Blood harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
The Church contains over 7500 square metres of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. This record may be surpassed by the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, which houses 7700 square meters of mosaics. The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day—including Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel — but the church's chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland, was relatively little-known (born in St. Petersburg in 1842 in a Baltic-German Lutheran family). Perhaps not surprisingly, the Church's construction ran well over budget, having been estimated at 3.6 million roubles but ending up costing over 4.6 million. The walls and ceilings inside the Church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics — the main pictures being biblical scenes or figures — but with very fine patterned borders setting off each picture.

Изначально Санкт-Петербургское адмиралтейство строилось как верфь по чертежам, подписанным лично Петром I. Было заложено 5 (16) ноября 1704 года, о чём сохранилась следующая запись:
Заложили Адмиралтейский дом и веселились в остерии и веселились, длина 200 сажен, ширина 10 сажен.
— Походный журнал Петра I
Подготовительные работы были закончены в рекордно короткий срок: в начале 1705 года на верфи были возведены основные постройки и на эллингах заложены первые корабли.
Initially, St. Petersburg Admiralty Shipyard built as drawings, personally signed by Peter I. It was incorporated 5 (16) in November 1704, what the next record is preserved:
They lay the Admiralty House and having fun in the osteria and fun, length 200 yards, width 10 yards.
- Hiking Magazine Peter I
Preparatory work was completed in record time: at the beginning of 1705 at the shipyard were built the main building and on the slipways first ships laid.
