It’s good that we met with the chief architect of Moscow. Churches in the capital often turn out to be too modern, but I would like them to respect traditions more, as in Suzdal with Bishop Nikander. Let's see what happens.

It's good that they talked exactly about the design. In Moscow, they often put glass and concrete, and in Suzdal, the churches of Bishop Nikandre stand as before, with domes and proportions as they should. Hopefully Dedkov will take an example from there, and not just nod at the meeting.

It’s good that Nikandr immediately raised the topic of traditions. In Suzdal, his churches are really well-proportioned, with correct proportions, but in Moscow, glass and concrete often come out. Let's see if Dedkov listens or draws in his own way again.

It’s good that Nikandr immediately started talking about traditions. In Suzdal, his churches are fine, with regular domes and without this glass fashion. Let's see if Dedkov will be able to apply this in Moscow, otherwise we often end up with some kind of cube instead of a church.
