Built in 1907 as memorial church to honour Russian emperor Alexander II, just on
the spot of the crucial terroristic attempt upon him. A sample of "Russian style"
architecture and decorative art at the edge of the XIX - XX centuries. Mosaic
attire of the church (over 7,000 sq.m) was created from the designs of 30 artists,
among them V. Vasnetsov, M. Nesterov, A. Ryabushkin, V. Belyaev, N. Kharlamov.
