After Christening the Kievan Rus at the end of X century
in various ancient Russian cities began impetuous construction
of Christian temples : churches, cathedrals, chapels. In
the beginning the temple's construction was conducted with
the help and under the control of the Byzantian masters
and experts. But soon Russian architects not only have mastered
this art but in many respects began to surpass the teachers.
Remarkable monuments of architecture were created in Kiev,
Chernigov, Novgorod and hardly later in Lvov and other cities
of Rus - Ukraine. Many of them today are brought in the
List of Spiritual Heritage of the mankind made by the international
organization UNESCO. Remarkable temples of cities Kiev and
Lvov embodied on post cards invariable cause interest of
visitors.
