Not long after the beginning of my entrance to the blogosphere, I posted a link to some video clips showing the desecration and demolition of Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow, the use of the site during the intervening years and the rebuilding of the cathedral. There were also videos of the 5+hour service of reconsecration of the cathedral and the glorification of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia. The link to the original post is in the title of this one.
They were extremely moving videos. I shed a tear at the scene of the icons burning and was filled with excitement when I saw the bishops building the new altar.
Sadly, the videos no longer seem to work. I would very much like to download them but I don't know how to contact the administrators of the website, especially as the main site is actually in Russian. Does anybody know how I might contact them or where else I may be able to get my hands on the videos? If so, and you would let me know, I should be very grateful.
Thank you.
If you are Antiochian, this video will make your day

As the Antiochian Archdiocese rebounds from an international scandal, it
should be a point of pride and cause for no little delight to watch the
below.

I know the deacon Alexandr in that cathedral, who is responsible for the http://xxc.ru/ site. I will contact him about the availability of the videos.
Oh thank you so much! That would be a great help. There is an e-mail link for me at the right-hand side of this blog if you or he would prefer to contact me privately.
Thank you, again.
Michael :-)
Artem, many thanks for contacting the cathedral about those videos! They were wonderful and I used to watch them and listen to the beautiful choir recordings as well.
I do hope we can get the videos back again!
Best wishes,
Mary
