People’s Artist of Russia Alexander Rukavishnikov created two key artistic elements for the Church of Saint Prince Vladimir Equal-to-the-Apostles in Tushino, Moscow:

– A sculptural relief of Prince Vladimir on the main façade of the church. This high relief (a sculptural form projecting from a flat surface) frames the entrance and establishes the symbolic center of the composition. The image references the Baptism of Rus’ and the spiritual mission.
