about the first temple of moscow, which really in the 19th century built here from sosiny on borovitsky hill. church of ian the baptist. then it became stone. and during the construction of the great kremlin palace, by order of nicholas i it was moved to the second tier of the borovitsky tower. if you mentally draw a line from the place of the first temple. where rus was baptized, here came the kiev prince, a pagan, from here left the tsar, the heir of byzantium, now we are fighting for those values that the prince found here, here, in this font of chersanesos, we pray for victory, and through we will receive victory and peace, i believe. the copy of the korsun icon, which vladimir received at baptism, has been prayed to for many centuries in ancient izborsk. izborsk is a city of russian statehood, it was founded by rurik's brother truvar, here today a stone cross rises above the prince's grave, so it was no accident that vladimir transferred the copy of the icon here, to the city whose patron he was, this is truly an amazing echo of the kremlin icons, st. nicholas above the city fortress.
