Ascension Cathedral (Russian Orthodox, of course) came up with the city of Novosibirsk. Its wooden predecessor and the city both date back to the 1890s as the Trans-Siberian Railroad was pushing its way east. In 1970, rebuilding began (during Soviet days!) and by the time the Soviet Union collapsed, the new stone-built church was ready to take center stage. [1999]
