**historical sketch**
The idea of building a Church was first raised in December of 1812 General A. P. Kikinis, very close to Emperor Alexander I, in his letter to the followers of the old traditions of Admiral A. S. Shishkov[7]: “this war, obviously designed to decide the fate of Russia, to shake the foundations of civil and political relations with her, and even faith, is not common; and why the monument should be the same, — the Providence of God through faith and the national spirit has saved us. Thanks to him and the monument belongs to him”[8].
Kicking the idea was to reactivate the old Russian tradition of votive temples, erected as a token of thanksgiving for victory and in eternal remembrance of the fallen. The tradition of the Church known since pre-Mongol times: in the end (and dubious) legend, was built by Yaroslav the wise in Kyiv, in St. Sophia Cathedral on the site of the battle with the Pechenegs. According to one interpretation, in the era of the battle of Kulikovo were built numerous temples in honour of the Nativity of the blessed virgin Mary — a feast that falls on the day of the battle of Russian warriors with the troops of Mamaia. In Moscow in memory of the fallen and to commemorate military victories built the Church of the Intercession on the moat (better known under the name of Vasily the blessed) and the Cathedral of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God (Kazan Cathedral) in red square.
