Photographer’s Note
When Novgorod in year 1100 becomes an merchant's republic, it exiled its Princes from the Kremlin; Princes since that time dwelled on the other side of the river Volhov, in so-called Yaroslav's Court. There Prince Mstislav built in year 1113 Nikolsky Cathedral. As St Sophia Cathedral was a center and heart of Novgorod Republic, Nikolsky was a center of Princes's part of the power in this medieval state. Here oaths were claimed, Princes were buried and it was a place of hiding for those who was prosecuted by the Republic.
Cathedral is a good example of Russian medieval style of architecture.

Ачё розовые?Извести не было чистой?Забавно. Не ортодоксально как-то не понашему. Колеблют устои, понимешь!
А дефчёнки смотрятся вполне по европейски. Там тоже газоны для этого.
