ArchitectCS:
I can't wait to see this church restored!  I've long thought it was one of the greatest architectural losses of Moscow.  My understanding is that there is a park there now which is named for the architect of the church.  The Soviets admired his great skill, but destroyed his masterpiece because it was a religious structure.  I guess honoring an architect by destroying his work but memorializing his name made sense in Communist Russia. 

Thanks for the great news, Vassia!  Keep us posted, please.
