Not just an ordinary monastery! Founded in 1656, it was an ambitious project by Patriarch Nikon, designed as a precise replica of the holy sites of Palestine 🤔
Patriarch Nikon, inspired by his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, conceived the idea of recreating sacred sites near Moscow. A picturesque location was chosen - a hilly area by the river, strikingly similar to the landscape of Jerusalem itself. The Istra River was renamed the Jordan, and the surrounding hills were given biblical names: Zion, Tabor, and the Mount of Olives.
The centerpiece of the monastery is the Resurrection Cathedral, built to mirror the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Architects meticulously reproduced all key elements: 1) The Edicule (the chapel over Christ's Tomb); 2) The Stone of Anointing; 3) The site of the Discovery of the True Cross; 4) Golgotha;
The scale of the structure was even enlarged to emphasize the significance of this Russian version of the holy site.
In 1941 Germans blew up the cathedral, restoration work lasted for decades and was only fully completed in 2016. Today the place is once again an active monastery and a place of pilgrimage 🥰

Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
