Novosibirsk, Russia

 

Founded in the 1890s, along with the city of Novosibirsk, Alexander Nevsky church (and then cathedral) became an anchor of Russian Orthodox Christianity as the Trans-Siberian Railroad made its way west across "Russia in Asia." Although the doors were closed for more than 50 years by the Soviets, they re-opened even before the fall of the U.S.S.R. [2000]
