I remember when America was a Christian nation and Russia wasn’t.

Don’t let the SOBs anywhere near it. They’ll pass all the details about the new construction on to future terrorists for attacks later. You would think this wouldn’t have to be said. But the French...

The whole place would be bugged .

"It's true that we have some of the world's best specialists who have a vast record of restoring medieval monuments. Therefore, should such a need arise, we will be ready to dispatch them," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.They are actually the world's best. I've been to Russia, and some of the architecture and art that was restored from WWII damage is spectacular and impressively-done.

They did a heck of a job restoring the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, in Moscow, that Stalin destroyed.

I think that is good. I think they have a lot of restoration experts.
To: Lurker
They did a fabulous job on their own cathedrals.

No Russians need apply! EU wants the union label.

The Russians do spectacularly good restoration work. They have restored churches and even palaces that were destroyed during the Communist years or in the course of WWII. I was there a couple of years ago and I was truly impressed by the quality of their work.

“Dont let the SOBs anywhere near it. Theyll pass all the details about the new construction on to future terrorists for attacks later. “
Silliness. Part of me sincerely hopes you were joking. In your mind...They will pass on the plans for a wooden replica of a 1000 year old design... to terrorists. By the way, the Russians have just spent the last 10 or 15 years meticulously restoring Orthodox churches blown up and otherwise destroyed by the bolsheviks. They actually have more experience in restoring centuries old churches than probably anyone else out there currently.

The onion domes in St Basils Cathedral form the most beautiful roof in the world, IMO. Even some of the Soviet architecture had a majesty to it. They suck at everything else, but they know from monumental architecture

Ask not who the SOBs are.
You’ll only get your feelings hurt.
