In Moscow, work is underway to restore the appearance and interiors of almost 500 cultural heritage sites, said the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin.

One of the largest projects that the Moscow authorities are implementing jointly with the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Russian Orthodox Church is the restoration of the Donskoy Monastery, Sobyanin emphasized in the Telegram channel. Three towers and the spinning wheels of the Eastern and Southern walls are being restored here.

In addition, work continues on the Tikhvin Church and the extension to the north gate. The specialists have put the white stone details and the plaster finish in order. The tiled stoves were restored in the annex, the mayor said.
