nUlslan Church Architecture.
1'othlng shows 11\oro clellrly how
far from the main stream of Bl1ropo
the currents of Husslan lIre have
flowed than the I1rchltectlll'o of the
Uusslnn churchcs. The now church
of the Uedeemer , crected In memor ) '
of tllo grandfather of the prcsent czar ,
which was dedlcutot ! by the czar in St.
Petersburg a few weeles ago , is a good
eXamlJlo of the prevnll1ng Uusslan
ft 'lo. It Is not Gothic , nor GI'oCok , nor
iRoman , nor yet Honalssanco. 'rho in.
fluonces which have flxed the Husslan
cl1\1rch nrchitecturo 111'0 Asiatic rather
than European , remarles the Youth's
COmlJanion. The predomlnntlng arches
are Indian rathel' limn Roman , I1nll
the domes , with their bulging sides ,
como from Asia and the non.Chrlstian
races. Hussln itseIr was in closer relations -
lations with Asln than with Europe
tm Peter the Great turned the ( ace o (
the empire westward and bognn the
.recrentlng or a semi.savngo nation Into
a European Ilower hy huildlng his now
capitnl in close contact by sea with
the wcstern world. But the choice oC
the oriental typo oC I1rchitecturo for so
slllendld n church all that recenUy ded.
icated proves that the Infiuence of
Asia Is stln strong.
