R ussia's historic influence in the region is demonstrated through this building. The Uspensky Cathedral is built in the Greek Orthodox tradition, by Russian architect Aleksei Gornostaev. Unlike western churches which usually feature drag grey or white façades, it is not uncommon for Russian churches to be blazing red, with gold or blue accents. In this case, a gold onion dome, the very icon of Russian churches around the world, fits the bill.
