Nizhny Novgorod. The Monumental Temple On Strelka 1332 Stock Image

At Strelka, at the confluence of the two great rivers Volga and Oka, a monumental temple rises. In Soviet times, the temple was surrounded by industrial buildings and the industrial jungle hid the beauty and grandeur of this temple. Today the temple appears in all its pristine beauty. Behind the temple, the Volga River and the expanses of Russian forests are visible. Comparing the look of the temple and the Nizhny Novgorod Fair, an association arises that religion is more important for Russian authority today than the country`s economy.
