Alexander II's monument

There's a great website dedicated to the Church of the Resurrection on the Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg, which is Alexander II's principal monument in the former Russian capital. It has quite an interesting architectural and cultural history, and you can read all about it and go through dozens of historic and contemporary photographs here.

I was writing my final for Russian History and I found this:

It was pretty fun to read.
