Cathedral.

This is coolbert:

I must admit this does fail to impress. Architecture with a military significance profound.

Courtesy once more to the Internet web site Russia Beyond the article by Igor Palkin.

"A giant BLACK cathedral from remelted weapons appears in Russia (PHOTOS)"

HOUSE OF WORSHIP AS DEDICATED TO THE RUSSIAN/SOVIET DEAD OF WORLD WAR TWO.

"With its dark-green exterior and stairs forged out of melted German tanks - and containing some of Hitler’s belongings, including his military cap - the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces now stands tall just outside Moscow. And it’s already the most discussed Orthodox place of worship in the country."

Great symbolism embedded into the design!!

"The cathedral is bursting with symbolism. For instance, the pedestal of the main dome is another - measuring 19.45 meters in diameter. The pedestal itself features eight windows. Meanwhile, the dome measures 22.43 meters in height. These measurements symbolize the signing of the German Instrument of Surrender on May 8, 1945, at precisely 10:43 PM. "

Forgive me for not converting those dimensions into inch/foot/yard but the symbolism of the metrics must not be obscured or confused.

"Another detail can be gleaned in the 14.18 meter smaller domes, signifying the 1,418 days the war lasted for."

ALL THIS WOULD HAVE SURPRISED JOE STALIN?
