The building of the pre-revolutionary Khabarovsk Real School, whose architecture combines the Russian Revival style with the classic red brick style of the late XIX and early XX centuries.
The large scale of the school highlights the amount of effort that was put into developing the Far East of Russia during the reign of Nicholas II. During the Soviet era, many interesting details of the building were lost, in particular the turret and pediment, but Sber Bank, which bought it, restored these details.

Today, the Church, especially the Russian, commemorates a great holiday - the Protection of the Most Theotokos.
But why specifically the Russian Church? The fact is that in Rus' Prince Andrew Bogolyubsky introduced this feast in honor of a little-known miracle in Constantinople, and only later has it spread throughout the Orthodox world.
So it is not surprising that most of the churches dedicated to this holiday are located within the Russian Church, from the Carpathians to the Pacific, and it is somewhere between them that our hero today, a temple in the small town of Polysayevo, is located.
Built just a couple of years ago, the church has become a true masterpiece of modern neoclassicism. Although the capricious style has not been completely tamed, and some proportions, along with the interior structure - the weakest part of the church - betray its modern construction, it is still impressive and is not only a worthy interpretation of the style, but also an original addition to it with Byzantine details.

The building of the Zlatoust Arms Factory Arsenal, which before the revolution had one of the most extensive collections of weapons in all of Russia.
Unfortunately, it was looted during the Soviet era, and although the building itself has survived to this day, the decorative trophies of arms that adorned it were destroyed, turning this solemn structure into just another ordinary monument of classicism.

An old post station, and once a tavern, in Lugoj, Romania.
Although the current appearance of the building indicates XIX century eclecticism, the present structure was built almost three centuries ago, with its roots dating back to the Middle Ages.
However, for most of the last three centuries, the building has no longer been a station, after the last owner donated it to the Church as a parish house.
