GUM Department Store, Entrance
Photographer:
Seen through an arched entranceway to the GUM department store on Nikolskaya Street, the second incarnation of the small Kazan Cathedral stands at the Northeast corner of Red Square. Founded to commemorate the 1612 expulsion of Polish invaders, the Cathedral was destroyed under orders from Stalin in 1936. In 1993, as religious practice became tolerated, even fashionable again, it was rebuilt at its original location. President Clinton stopped there and lit a candle in memory of his mother during a visit to Moscow just after her death.Bill Swersey
