That's a shame to hear. The crosses really made that cathedral stand out on the skyline. Any idea what they're planning to do with the building now?

Olivia Campbell

Yeah, it's a real shame about those crosses—they did catch your eye from across the river. Any word on whether the Vologda diocese is trying to buy the place back or if it's just going to sit empty?

Lukas Weber

Schade, dass auch der letzte Kreuz abgenommen wurde. Die haben den Dom wirklich von weitem ausgesehen, besonders wenn man über die Brücke kam. Weiß jemand, ob die Mitropolie schon etwas unternimmt, um das Gebäude zurückzubekommen?

Irene Collins

It's a real shame, those crosses were the first thing you'd notice from the river. The article says the building's being turned over to the city museum for exhibitions, but I doubt it'll look the same without them. Have you been to Vologda yourself?

I remember seeing photos of those crosses from the river years ago—they really did catch your eye against the sky. Turning the cathedral into a museum exhibition space sounds practical for the city, but it’s a shame to lose that Orthodox witness on the skyline. Has the Vologda diocese said anything publicly about it?

Luke Johnson

I saw those same river photos too — the crosses really popped against the clouds. The museum plan makes sense for foot traffic in the city, but yeah, it does feel like the skyline lost something important. I haven’t seen any direct statement from the Vologda diocese yet; have you come across one?
