Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood
The church marks the precise area where Alexander II was mortally wounded by a People’s Will bomb on March 13, 1881, or March 1 under the Russian calendar then in use. Its glittering mosaics therefore enclose the memory of a chaotic assassination that ended a reforming reign and hardened the politics of his successors.
