The previous video was more artistic in my opinion
and this one shows you more places of Moscow
For the instance, here you can see the interior of 2 metro stations - one of them is Novosloboskaya station.
On the time of 1.50 you see the Church of Jesus the Saviour which has a pretty strange story...
It looks centuries old, but it was just built in 2000. For the second time.

The first time this church was build in 1883 (after 44 years of work) .

But in the 1920s, because of Soviet state atheism, Joseph Stalin wanted to demolish the Church. His idea was to build a huge monument (The Palace of Soviets) in its place.

Due to the Second World War that plan was ruined.

During 1958 to 1995 there was the world's largest open-air swimming pool (even in Europe!). It was open all year long.

In 1990, the Russian Orthodox Church wanted to rebuild the old Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

They received permission from the government, and in 1992 a construction fund was started. More than one million Russians donated money, so in 1995 the Moskva Pool was destroyed, and they started to build the new Cathedral.
