“Administration of the city Kazan””—
Kazan was conquered by Ivan the Terrible, and to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over Islam, he built the Cathedral of Kazan on Red Square (the crosses on top of the towers rest on Islamic crescents).
Maybe somebody wants to undo history?
“Kazan was conquered by Ivan the Terrible, and to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over Islam, he built the Cathedral of Kazan on Red Square (the crosses on top of the towers rest on Islamic crescents).”
— The Cathedral in Red Square isn`t named after Kazan. Initially it is the Cathedral of the Virgin of Kazan. Besides, it wasn`t built to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over Islam - that`s bullshit. The original church was erected as a shrine in the early 1630s to mark the city’s liberation from the Polish aggressors.
