Today is the 450th anniversary of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, having withstood Napoleon's onslaught, and the Communist Party. Named for St. Basil, an eccentric religious fanatic, who was one of the very few Muscovites who dared criticize Czar Ivan the Terrible. To mark the occasion here is a video with exterior and interior shots of the Cathedral.
