Finally the modern Russian Orthodox church architecture gets fresh and original

My associations with the current architecture of Russian Orthodox Church are stagnation and cheapness. Even the Church of Armed Forces, built in 2020, although has a dark palette and grandeur, still remains ultraconservative in the context of its architectural form.

But the Vladimir Church, done by 2024, really amazed me, especially its interior. Unfortunately, entrance was closed when I was there, but the church has a great site with a gallery.

That's certainly a tent-shaped church
