Description
On Christmas Day 1812 Alexander I pledged to build a cathedral as thanks to Divine Providence for the retreat of Napoleon Bonaparte from Moscow. Planning and changes of location made the laying of the cornerstone first possible in 1839. On May25, 1883 – the day of Alexander III's coronation – the cathedral, the largest church of Orthodoxy, was consecrated. Much of the cathedral was a monument to the victory over Napoleon. On December 5, 1931, by order of Stalin's ministerKaganovich, the cathedral was dynamited and reduced to rubble in order to make room for a monument to Socialism. Gilded Bronze Diakov 936.1 .3" diameter. This lot is being sold on behalf of the New YorkCounty Public Administrators Office from the Estate of Rene Fuss.
