For the economic development in Russia during the 1930s, it required funds. The dome of the church
contained over 20 tons of gold of excellent quality, and that the cathedral represented an unnecessary
luxury for the Soviet Union, and they thought the withdrawal of the gold would make a great contribution
to the industrialization of the country.In December 1931, by order of Stalin's minister, the Cathedral of
Christ the Saviour was dynamited.
In February 1990, the Russian Orthodox Church received permission from the Soviet Government to
rebuild the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. About one million Muscovites donated money for the project.

The Bolshoi Theatre is a historic theatre in Moscow, designed by architect Joseph Bove, which holds
performances of ballet and opera. At that time, all Russian theatres were imperial property. Moscow
and St. Petersburg each had only two theatres, one intended for opera and ballet, and one for plays.
Because opera and ballet were considered nobler than drama, the opera houses were named Grand
Theatres.
