JM: The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of the Izmailovsky Life-Guards Regiment Built in 1828-1835 to Vasily Starov's design.

Only not Starov, but Stasov. The Cathedral is famous for the fact that Dostoevsky married Anna Snitkin (who was born in a house opposite the St. Alexander Nevsky Monastery) there. Its blue wooden cupola (the biggest in Europe) was destroyed by a spectacular fire a couple of years ago (but is being restored now).
