Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Odintsovsky District, Russia.

Description

The Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces is a church with six golden domes in Odintsovsky District, roughly one hour west of Moscow. It stands within Patriot Park and combines Orthodox architecture with glass and metal elements.

History

Construction began in 2018 and ended two years later to commemorate the victory of 1945. The measurements and details of the church recall that date and the fallen.

Culture

The name refers to the patron role over Russian armed forces and appears through military symbols on walls and windows. Visitors today see Orthodox services where soldiers and veterans pray together.

Practical

Access follows wide paths suitable for wheelchair users as well. Visitors should cover shoulders and wear long trousers or skirts, as is usual in Orthodox churches.

Steps made from melted tank steel recall captured vehicles, while the bells show engraved images of saints and military emblems. The largest bell set weighs several tons and hangs in the main tower.
