why did the society create St.Basil

 

 

St.Basil was built to celebrate the military conquests of the Russian tsar Ivan the IV. Most of the Russians were proud of St.Basil because it showed that Russia was powerful and not backwards like the other countries thought they were. Some people didn’t like it because they had to build it with no pay. St.Basil was one of the only churches left after the war because others were torn down.
