Lonely Planet review

Moscow's oldest synagogue was built in 1891 by the businessman Polyakov, who made his fortune in the sugar industry. It was the only synagogue that continued to operate throughout the Soviet period, in spite of Bolshevik demands to convert it to a workers' club. The interior is exquisite.
