However, the churches started to be built again and a legal document was made in order to protect the church (iarlyk).

Dome of the Rock, an Islamic shrine built on Temple Mount in Jerusalem in 691, and the Church of San Vitale, a Byzantine church built in 547 in Ravenna, Italy, are two buildings of great importance to their respective religions, Islam and Christianity. Because both buildings have religious functions, they have many situational and architectural similarities to symbolize the importance of God and to create a connection between Earth and Heaven, yet because of differences in cultural history and transforming styles, the buildings convey religious messages through distinct architectural and decorative techniques. The Church of San Vitale and Dome of the Rock have similarly significant locations to reflect the religious grandeur of Islam and Christianity.
Yekaterinburg – traditional churches and Soviet avant-garde The city combines two delights in one – ideal for those who want to see traditional Orthodox churches whilst exploring the architectural style of the builders of the “new world” who tried to destroy these very churches. Yekaterinburg also has the biggest collection of monuments of Soviet constructivism, standing side by side with traditional museums (the Museums of Local Lore and Art History).

The grand structure that resides in present day Germany was built in honor the Virgin Mary. The site was used for many important religious and public occasions, for example the king of Germany held his coronation in the Chapel. The site had been continued to be strongly linked to Charlemagne through more than his name, as Otto III ordered his remains to be placed there in honor of him and his accomplishments. Essentially, although the Palace is seen under a more political light than Hagia Sophia, both structures have histories deeply rooted in the Christian religion. Another strong similarity stands in the fact that their nations leaders worked hard to preserve and then rebuild the structures when disaster

The building stood until 80AD when it was demolished in a fire of Titus, it was later restored by Domitian however it was struck by lightning and ruined by the consequent fire6.

Introduction Joseph Stalin is perhaps one of the most important and discussed people in Russian history. He was arguably a feared tyrant cursed and despised by many. At the same time, one finds sufficient evidence for the adoration and worship of Stalin that used to exist in the minds of the citizens of the Soviet Union. One reason for this worship was the existence of the so called ‘Cult of Personality’ where Stalin was celebrated as a wise leader, father of all people, and the architect of victory of the Second World War. In his book, The Stalin Cult: A Study in the Alchemy of Power, Jan Plamper states that Stalin’s cult of personality was largely a visual phenomenon.
Joseph Stalin was and still is universally known for his harsh leadership in the Soviet Union. To examine the extent of his cruelness, World Civilization II: The Rise and Fall of Empires© 1500-present stated, "Stalin was not a communist; he was a sociopath. He enjoyed hurting people and ordering their deaths. In his time as dictator of the Soviet Union, he was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of his people, and the cruel torture and imprisonment of millions more" (Sattler, 71).
