The Bolshoi Zlatoust (Большой Златоуст) is a 77-metre (253 ft)-high bell tower that used to dominate the skyline of Yekaterinburg before the Russian Revolution.
Basil the Great and St. Gregory of Nazianzus, one of the most honoured Holy Fathers in Russia.
The bell tower was designed in 1847 by Vasily Morgan in a Russo-Byzantine style derived from Konstantin Thon's works.
The church in the ground floor was dedicated to St. Maximian, one of the Seven Sleepers and the patron saint of the Czar's son-in-law, Maximilian de Beauharnais, 3rd Duke of Leuchtenberg.
[2] After the Russian Revolution the church of St. Maximian was closed for worship, eventually dismantled in 1930, and replaced with a statue of Lenin and Stalin.
