Did commies do this? Not a fan of religion but this is some nihilistic disrespect right there
Finally churches serving some purpose. Good old communists times. Europe never had any good days after the fall of USSR.
Welp, that wasn’t an isolated case
There was a huge orthodox cathedral in the center of Moscow destroyed in 1931 for creating [the Palace of the Soviets](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_the_Soviets), an absolutely monstrous shit. The Nazi invasion stopped the construction works and in the end of the day the project was abandoned. But in 1958 they constructed [the world’s largest open swimming pool](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moskva_Pool) on that foundation. It existed up to 1994; a year later the cathedral got restored. Now [it’s ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Christ_the_Saviour)the symbol of the Russian Orthodox church’s opulence, lust for power, and collaboration with the regime. That was the church where [Pussy Riot performed their anti-Putin and anti-clerical song](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_Riot) in 2012
Looool
Based commies
Religion doesn’t deserve any “respect”
In the late 1980s I watched Predator in a video salon (two TVs in a small hall), which was located in a former Catholic church in our city.
Atleast you could swim in holy water.
The only church I would want to visit
Take some Soviet red, mix it with a hint of industrial grey, and use a spatula to lay it over the kolchoz brown we previously used.
Don’t worry about any imprecisions, we call those happy little dissidents, and have a place for them.

At least something usefull was done. But It seems that people prefer to hear somebody talking non sense stories than practice healthy sport.
