Through the arch from Tverskaya ul, the rosy-pink, gold-domed Church of the Resurrection was one of the few churches to remain open throughout the Soviet period and so attracted artists and performers from the surrounding theatre district. Even acclaimed actor and director Konstantin Stanislavsky was apparently sighted here.
