Soviet Religiosity

image

This architectural monstrosity is a cathedral that will be built in the capital of Ukraine. The architect is known for building Hyatt hotels. The cathedral will be paid for with public funds because, clearly, a country at war where nobody has practiced any religion for a century is in urgent need of an ugly-ass church. Kiev has beautiful historic cathedrals, of course, but it sorely misses a Hyatt-type cathedral.

Few things are more embarrassing and sad than the attempts of Soviet people to fake religion.
