P.S. The fate of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is tragic. The grandiose structure, which surpassed the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in the Kremlin, was built over 40 years, served as one of Moscow's main attractions for about the same amount of time, and was then destroyed.
The first edition of Mostovsky's work, entitled "Historical Description of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow," was published in 1883. It outlined the history of the cathedral's construction, recorded all of its architectural and sculptural elements, listed the subjects of the frescoes and icons in both the central part and the two side chapels - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Alexander Nevsky. Having regard to the financial issues discussed by the commission, Mostovsky even included in his description the amounts paid to artists and sculptors. The chronicle presents the fourth edition of the book, supplemented and illustrated with phototypes, published in 1891. In terms of content, this edition is more valuable than the first: in particular, it contains a description of the coronation of Alexander III, an integral part of which was the consecration of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Today, Mostovsky's work is the most complete collection of information about the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and its abridged version is still the only publication about the history of the cathedral that can be purchased in the bookstore at the entrance to the church.
