On Sunday, May 11th, our dear friend, Vladimir Kozin, took us on a four hour tour that included the Novodevichy Convent, and the Novodevichy Cemetery in central Moscow.
The Novodevichy Convent, in south-western Moscow, built in the 16th and 17th centuries in the so-called Moscow Baroque style, was part of a chain of monastic ensembles that were integrated into the defence system of the city.
The convent was directly associated with the political, cultural and religious history of Russia, and closely linked to the Moscow Kremlin.
