Spaski Tserkov', The Church of the Savior at
Ubori, color photo. Similar, thought not so sublime as the one at Fili, is this
Church of the Savior. It is about 20 miles west of Moscow. It was built by the
well-known Russian family, Sheremetev (Petr Vasil'evich Sheremetev), in
1693-97. The architect was Yakov C. Bukhvostov ( a serf belonging to M. Yu,
Tatischev). The church may be seen from a distance when driving to the nearby
village of Uspenskoye, a popular picnic place on the Moscow River. It was
closed after the revolution and left neglected for many years.
