Description

A decorative/souvenir 5 and 1/4 inch-high mug/stein all the way from Moscow, Russia, courtesy of Artur and Sarah (Goodloe) Rakhmankulov.




It depicts the Cathedral of St. Basil in Red Square next to the Kremlin. The inscription on the back roughly translates to












 Pokrovsky Cathedral

On the red square

Better known as

St. Basil's Cathedral

Built by Ivan the Terrible

In 1555-1561

In honor of the victory of Russian troops

Over Kazan Khanate

It was built on the master

Barma and fasting

 

(I believe these last 2 lines are meaning to say it was built by the master architects, Barma and Postnik.  Should you purchase this item you will get the most correct and accurate translation from Sarah/Artur. Google translate is a limited translation.)
