 Comment There is a high-rise building on this viewpoint. If anyone takes a photo from there, it has very good chances. --Ikar.us (talk) 10:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question I was here some years ago, but I don't really remember. Is it now as it was on this pic ?--Jebulon (talk) 21:03, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Roads and vehicles have a different appearance, but their ground plot and the overall situation looks much the same on the Google map. Even the small driveway approaching from the left seems to have a tarmac successor. (But File:Nikolskaya tower, Novodevichy convent.jpg looks frightening.) --Ikar.us (talk) 09:07, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the information about the difference of appearance of roads and vehicles and macadam at the end of the XIXth century and at the beginning of the XXIst, my precious friend ... I'm sure you know that politic matters here are different too, and that's why my question (you did not answer) concerned the building (destruction ? reconstruction ? restorations ?) complex inside the walls... Well, if this pic is the more complete, then I  Support (I like vintage views, too...)--Jebulon (talk) 22:33, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • In the short period when the monastery was completely secularized, the facility was assigned to the state history museum. From 1944 on it was again partly in religious use. No evidence for any destructions. Restorations have been performed, of course (thus he scaffold problem), but without major changes. Transfiguration cathedral looks white on the painting, but has much red now. I should link detail photos to make it clearer. --Ikar.us (talk) 07:13, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      • PS. Thank you for voting; I feared that this MVR would remain undecided. --Ikar.us (talk) 23:04, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
