Abstract
Originally intended as part of the author's unfinished study of Landmarks in Russian Culture, this posthumously-published article, edited by Robin Milner-Gulland and Simon Dixon, draws on a wide variety of sources ranging from the correspondence of Peter I to twenty-first-century guidebooks. The article traces the construction of the cathedral and its architectural significance, the subsequent fate of both exterior and interior, the successive roles of the cathedral as mausoleum and museum, and above all the changing resonances and responses the building has inspired in Russia and beyond since the beginning of the eighteenth century.
