The Armed Forces Cathedral: Russia’s Military Church

Welcome to Volko the Russian 🇷🇺 —
This video was filmed during my early days in Russia, and it remains one of the most powerful places I have ever visited.

Today we explore the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces — one of the most visually striking, emotionally heavy, and symbolically rich cathedrals in the world. If you’re interested in Russia, history, culture, or architecture… this will blow your mind.

🔱 What Makes This Cathedral So Unique?

🔥 Built for Victory
Created to honour the 75th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War, this entire complex is a tribute to courage, sacrifice and national memory.

🔥 Floors Made From History
The metal used in the floors comes from melted-down German tanks captured in WWII — a literal foundation of victory.

🔥 Architectural Powerhouse
A fusion of traditional Russian style and modern military symbolism.
The main dome is 19.45m in diameter — representing the year 1945.

🔥 Art That Tells a Story
Massive mosaics, murals, and sculptures depict key moments in Russia’s military history. You don’t just walk through it — you feel it.

🔥 95 Metres Tall
One of the largest cathedrals in Russia, towering over the entire complex.

🔥 Each Branch Represented
Army, Navy, Aerospace Forces — each has its own symbolism woven into the architecture.
