In Sergiev Posad the combination of Orthodox traditions and Soviet heritage is vividly reflected in the architecture. On this route you'll learn why Sergiev Posad stopped building “Stalinkas” (Stalin-era apartment blocks) and what happened to the churches' heritage under the USSR; you'll see the only place where exorcism rites were officially performed, and much more.
