It compares very favorably with the biggest bells of western Europe. The largest bell 

 outside of Russia is the Emperor Bell, in the Cologne Catherlral in Germany, which weighs 

 27 tons, and the Great Bell in St. Paul's Cathedral, weighing 18 tons. Big Peter, in the York 

 Cathedral, weighs only 11 tons, or no more than the broken fragment from the Queen of
