Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky (Volgograd)

In 1932 it was destroyed, but in 2016, it was decided to rebuild the temple giving it the same name, which met with criticism among the townspeople associated with the chosen location for construction.

It was built in memory of the rescue of the family of Emperor Alexander III in a railway accident in October 1888.

Firstly, the temple does not fit into the already established architectural ensemble of the city, including the square of Fallen Fighters and Mira Street.

Thirdly, it is noted that the temple is being built in a public place, which was previously used by all citizens, and after that it will satisfy the interests of only one religious group.

Fourth, construction is underway on the site of the park, despite the fact that after the collapse of the USSR, the area of the city's green spaces is only decreasing.
