The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Moscow was an Eastern Orthodox church in the Russian Revival style, conceived by Alexander Pomerantsev and Viktor Vasnetsov as a 70-metre memorial to Alexander II's Emancipation reform of 1861. Its foundation stone was laid on Miusskaya Square in 1911, but the First World War slowed construction and the unfinished building was torn down in 1952. A Pioneers Palace was later raised on the old foundation.
