All I know is that it was built in the late 1970s/early-mid 1980s, completely new construction, and I was genuinely surprised to discover it was so modern.
I'll try to remember, and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it in this thread yet. For now, here's a Russian cathedral:

To be fair, I find the massing somewhat, well, off, and the arch-shaped tympanum (if you can call it that) window a bit awkward... but boy, does that iconostasis make up for it! Ten, even a hundred times over. |
