The monument to Prince Vladimir made the proposal to establish at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior
Director of the Board on the installation of the monument to Patriarch Hermogenes, candidate of historical Sciences Galina Ananina addressed to the speaker of the Moscow city Duma Alexei Shaposhnikova With a petition to consider a place close To Cathedral of Christ the Saviour for the monument to Prince Vladimir.
as an alternative already proposed sites for the monument (Vorobyovy Gory, Lubyanka and the area of three stations) was identified as the place is close To Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the chapel of the Derzhavnaya icon of the Mother of God.
"This location will provide not only a tribute to the memory of St. Vladimir, but also a symbol of the Second Baptism of Russia ", - reported by the "Izvestia", the content of the letter of Anagnina. The historian recalled that before the revolution of 1917 the memory of St. Prince Vladimir was immortalized in the bas-reliefs and sculptures at the Kazan and St. Isaac's cathedrals of St. Petersburg and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. In addition, in honor of the Holy Prince Vladimir was built by Prince Vladimir Cathedral in St. Petersburg, the Vladimir Cathedral in Sevastopol, Kherson and Kiev, opened the monument to Saint equal to the apostles Great Prince Vladimir and the monument to Vladimir the Great in Kyiv, as well as sculptural image of Grand Prince Vladimir on the monument to the 1000th anniversary of Russia in Novgorod. Review Anagnina, the arguments about the fact that the monument to Prince Vladimir undoubtedly not be put in the capital of Russia, because he has not been in this city, is untenable, because the memory of a Great Holy perpetuated far beyond Russia. In 1988, on the anniversary of the Millennium of the baptism of Rus monuments were discovered in Argentina (Buenos Aires) - a copy of this statue is kept in the St. Daniel monastery in Moscow, in Canada (Toronto), the UK (London) and Australia (Brisbane). As told Galina Ananina, after the anniversary of the baptism of Russia of Prince Vladimir is not forgotten in Russia and beyond its borders." From 1994 to 2014, the monuments of the Holy Prince Vladimir is installed in 6 cities and towns of Ukraine: Ivano-Frankivsk, Winter village, Volyn region, Dnepropetrovsk, Korosten, the village of Lyubech Chernihiv oblast and Kharkiv, " said social activist. In Russia also many memorials of the Holy Prince - in Sevastopol, Pskov, Vladimir, Tula, Astrakhan, Krasnodar, Etc. this year, the name of Prince Vladimir was immortalized in the Polish city of Gdansk, appeared in the spring memorial cross in memory of St. Vladimir of Rostov Velikiy, and is expected to open monuments in July in Vladimir, in the last month of summer in Smolensk, and in November - in the capital of Russia. We emphasize that as long as the final conclusion about the placement of the monument is not accepted. Bieber will look at the question of the location of the monument on July 14. Remember, a monument to the Baptizer of Rus Prince Volodymyr was planned to install on the Sparrow hills in September, and the inauguration is planned on national unity Day on November 4. In connection With the installation of the monument on the Sparrow hills in Moscow has started a broad public discussion ? of the residents of the city are against the choice of location because of the danger of destruction of the slope and disrupting existing architectural composition and suggest that instead of about a dozen sites. In early summer the Russian military-historical society invited the deputies of the city Duma to choose another place for the monument. For example, the monument would be able to place on Lubyanka square.
