A large-scale image of the subject of the Tsar-Passion St. Nicholas II was consecrated today during a religious procession around the city of Yekaterinburg. The solemn dedication of the mural in honor of the subject of the Tsar-Passion St. Nicholas II in the building of the Federal State Statistics Office (Yekaterinburg, 23 Tolmacheva St.) was performed by the head of the Yekaterinburg Metropolitan, Metropolitan Eugene, and the senior pastor of the church Maxim-Monoy Archie. On the stage installed next to the mural are the deputy governor of the region Vasiliy Valeryevich Kozlov, the team of the SPAS TV channel led by CEO Boris Kurchevnikov, the historians Pyotr Multatuli and Andrey Borisyuk - researchers of the life and time of the sovereign Nicholas II, as well as the artist Sergei Kharmov, who performed such a great work on a large scale. The historic event was also attended by representatives of regional offices and leaders of the capital of Urals, rectors of leading universities, as well as thousands of participants in the religious procession of Kazan. The mural is not only a portrait of the emperor in a colonel's ceremonial officer's uniform, but also many details and scenes, "depicted with mathematical precision." Compositionally, it is built in the form of an icon with seals, but instead of scenes from the saint's life, it depicts the real achievements of pre-revolutionary Russia. The location was not chosen by chance: the mural is located on Tolmacheva Street, which turns into Tsarskaya Street, on the route of the procession on the night of the assassination of the royal family between July 16 and 17. The initiative of the TV channel SPAS to create a series of murals with the patron saints of Russian cities in Yekaterinburg was supported by the city authorities and the Federal State Statistics Service. Words of thanks were also addressed to them today. God bless everyone who donated funds to create the mural!
