| Don't be afraid of the sign of the cross |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Sergey Khudiev [REGNUM] The appearance of a temple building without a cross on the new design of the 1000-ruble bill sparked an exchange of opinions regarding the symbols of Russia - and, in particular, symbols of religious origin. The banknote depicts the famous Syuyumbike tower in the Kazan Kremlin, which is crowned with a crescent. Next to it is the Museum of the History of Statehood of the Tatar People, located in the building of the former palace church. This combination of images caused different reactions - some say that the building of a former church without a cross, in combination with a tower on which a crescent moon is clearly visible, may be misunderstood. Others urge not to see a problem where there is none - since there is no cross on the building itself, there is no need to demand its image on the banknote. |
