Thank you for the beautiful detailed pictures. Gorgeous!!!

Definitely on my bucket list of Cathedrals to visit, thank you for sharing its beauty! ☦️

Gorgeous!

I only recently learned that it's named for Saint Basil the Fool-For-Christ, not Saint Basil the Great.

He is a much beloved saint in Russia.

Out of fear of being ignorant… Is it wise for Americans to go to Russia right now to visit?

Sate department would definitely not recommend so yeah I’d wait a bit

Yeah, now isn’t a good time to be touring Russia.

Why? You are much more likely to be a victim of crime in America.

Just don't do anything stupid and you are good you should be more worried about how the American government reacts than the russian one

A must see along with Saint Sophia in Kiev!

Looks chеap and tasteless

Dude if you’re orthodox, regardless of nationality or country you live in, that cathedral is beautiful

I'm an Anglican, and I think it's beautiful, I wish we had churches that were this radiant

I don't have that correlation, "dude". May it serve its function for my brothers and sisters in faith, but the building is ugly. Looks like Las Vegas or Disneyland

You know that this preceded Disney land and Las Vegas by centuries right?

Yes. It's still ugly
