On the Christmas Day of December 25th 1812 Emperor Alexander I issued a decree to build a new church to commemorate the victory over Napoleon and to thank God for his guiding hand. However, for various reasons the construction works did not begin until 1839 when Emperor Nicholas I, younger brother of Alexander I, approved a new design of the church by the Russian architect Ton. The construction works lasted for over 40 years and the new Cathedral was inaugurated in 1881. The original design of Ton followed the classical 5-domed design of the Russian orthodox church. Cathedral was lavishly decorated with ornate bas-reliefs and beautiful mosaics. The reconstruction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior became a symbol of Russia’s religious revival. The works began in early 1990s and the new Cathedral was officially reopened for the millennium and was consecrated by the Russian Patriarch.

FABERGE MUSEUM
The official opening ceremony of the first privately owned Fabergé Museum in Russia took place on November 19, 2013, in the Shuvalov Palace in St. Petersburg. The founding organization of the museum is the Link of Times cultural and historical foundation, which was established in 2004 by Viktor Vekselberg with the aim of repatriating items of cultural significance to Russia.
The idea of creating a series of museums in Russia dedicated to the works of the great jeweler Carl Fabergé first came to the Link of Times in 2004. In that year, Viktor Vekselberg purchased a one-of-a-kind collection of Fabergé works which had been collected by Malcolm Forbes. Since then, the foundation has been collecting Russian works of decorative and fine art and has amassed more than 4,000 items today. In terms of its size, diversity, and the quality of its pieces, many of which belonged to the royal family and other members of the royal courts of Europe, the collection is without a doubt one of the best in the world.

TSARSKOE SELO (KINGS VILLAGE), PUSHKIN, CATHERINE’S PALACE
If any proof is needed for the extravagance of Russia’s Imperial rulers, then it can be found in the fact that, in less than two centuries, the Romanov Tsars established this suburban estate named Tsarskoe Selo (Tsar village) – that, in terms of grandeur and excess, outstrip even famous French Palaces and gorgeous Italian Villas. The resultant palace, completed in 1756, is nearly 1km in circumference, with elaborately decorated blue-and-white facades featuring gilded atlantes, caryatids and pilasters. It took over 100kg of gold to decorate the palace exteriors. The interiors of the Catherine Palace are no less spectacular. The so-called Golden Enfilade of staterooms, designed by Rastrelli, is particularly renowned and forms the focus of the palace tour. The Amber Room in the Palace was a complete chamber decoration of amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors. Due to its singular beauty, it was sometimes dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. Min. pax 2.
