| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Anastasia Ordinyan [REGNUM] The last months of 2023, the anniversary year for the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve, were marked by preparations for the restoration of the pearl of ancient Russian architecture - the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye, as noted by the Culture TV channel. The temple, which is almost 500s old (it was built by Grand Duke Vasily III as a votive in gratitude for the birth of his son, the future Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible), is part of the Russian contribution to the UNESCO World Heritage List . The domestic part of the list is not to say that it is large - 31 cultural and natural sites plus the Crimean Chersonese Tauride Nature Reserve, whose affiliation with Russia is not recognized by most UNESCO members. |
