UNIT 7 - Russian Churches

Having seen many beautiful churches for myself around Russia I decided to narrow down my research to the five that strike me the most by either their architectural perfectionism and breathtaking decoration, or in some cases both. Having been looking at these churches I realized that they have a strong link to the Boyarsky dress - they are both high class, gold, very decorated and use the combination of straight lines and curves, but rarely any angles.
