Discussion of the draft of the reconstruction of the Assumption Cathedral had many contradictory arguments. We are reproached for remakes, but if the temples were not reproduced in the original places, over time their place would be taken by modern business buildings, since, according to the Latin expression horror vacui, nature does not tolerate emptiness. De facto , reproducing the main dominants of Kiev, we restore, as far as it is possible now, its historical silhouette is if you consider the problem of restoration from the town planning side. But there is another aspect: moral and ethical. Years of disbelief and lack of spirituality have had an adverse effect on our the cultural and cultural level of the people, having touched all aspects of their life, because history does not forgive a scornful attitude towards the achievements of the past. An unspiritual society has no right to the future, such a state cannot achieve true cultural and economic prosperity. Therefore, the reconstruction of destroyed objects that over the centuries played the role of the main shrines of the people, contributes to the education of the population respect for their past and spirituality. Of course, all destroyed during the rule of militant atheism of the church cannot be revived, however, the re-creation of certain main sights will be all the more noticeable.

Another argument in favor of reunification is the renewal of the interrupted continuity of the traditions of temple construction. As you know, this process was continuous and did not stop even during the hard times: – stone architecture of Kievan Rus and wooden church architecture – church construction of defense type (fortress church) – Renaissance churches – churches in the Ukrainian Baroque style – churches in Classicism and Empire style – eclectic-style churches in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; – churches in the national Ukrainian style of the beginning of the twentieth centuries.  And everything, communication is interrupted from 1917 to 1991. If now, without reviving at least partially lost, we begin to build only modern temples of glass and concrete, as they do in Europe and America, we risk losing the genetic memory of our national roots in a few generations.

Some blame for the reproduction of such famous objects now is not the best of times. But the whole paradox is that without the revival of spiritual and cultural traditions, these best times will come very soon, because the developed economy of the state is combined with a sufficient spiritual and cultural level of its development and is directly dependent on them. As it is known, in Ukraine, and all over the world, churches were built not only in times of economic prosperity, but also in more difficult times, and this brought up people, rallying them around the church.

The elongation of reproduction in the time for which the opponents played would lead to the appearance of some “protracted”, which are negatively perceived by people. If, for example, the re-creation of the Assumption Cathedral lasted for ten, twenty, thirty years, during this time negative changes in the historical environment of the city would become even more significant, and the society, tired of contemplating such a long construction, would finally lose faith in it as in something “second-rate”, unimportant, irrelevant for the needs of the day. Remember what impressions you had of the Soviet-era unfinished projects left, which “decorated” construction sites for decades.

Due to the lack of professionalism of the developed project of rebuilding the Assumption Cathedral, the authors did not understand all the features of the problem, it should be recalled that the problem of rebuilding the cathedral was considered from the post-war years, and various experts suggested their options for the continued existence of the monument. Although it is said that sufficiently reliable information was not collected on the cathedral, I would remind you that in 1945 and until 1963, the dismantling of the remains of the destroyed parts of the church continued, accompanied by detailed research that formed the basis for further project proposals for the cathedral. The most serious in terms of the complexity of the task design development started the institute “Ukrproektrestavratsiya” in 1981-1982, then continued to supplement the information gathered, on the basis of which the project of reconstruction of the Assumption Cathedral was developed. So, the talk about the fact that the authors of the project and the “specialists involved in reproduction” were not sufficiently aware of the problem and the conditions of construction look unreasonable.

In addition, there is a limit between the barbarous “barbarous” at the deacon of the females, the palatine method, people who have fun in the base of the cathedral, they have lost their geologic and unintegrating work and technical techniques in the minds of the forgotten empty space and the ward. If the old foundations had stilled their own unbecoming dignities – to shuffle their hands on vibhuha, and then, after that, a massive cathedral was unbroken. Pal bully zasovovanі such a rank, abi not zachepiti rozashovanі basically pokhovannya. The water supply to the Assumption Cathedral was organized by the supreme robots of the organizational bodies and the repair and restoration of robots on the next week. Needless to say that argument, important technical support in the first place, do not pass through the lower gates of the monastery. but as a friend, їй bude zatіsno for pratsі, then I will say one thing: all the bachili, scho on the buddy maydanchik pratsyuvala still neobhіdna budivelna tehnіka, і at the tsomu nyako Škod monastrikskim gate not bulo zdano. For example, the proof of the “ultima ratio”, was brought to the lead by the Assumption Cathedral, which wanted to bring.
