THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION AT PETROGRAD 



A magnificent edifice with wonderful, parti-colored minarets and an interior that has borrowed all of 

 the priceless metals, gems and marbles for itsj,beauty. It cost twenty million rubles (ten million dollars), 

 contributed by the Russian people, to commemorate the murdered "Liberator of the Serfs and Friend of 

 Finland," Alexander II. The church stands over the site where he was assassinated by a bomb-thrower in 

 1881.
