A new district named after Russian President Vladimir Putin begun construction of a major spiritual landmark in Chechnya on November 16 of this year— the future Vladimir Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Vladimir the Great. At a ceremonial foundation-laying event, senior regional officials, including Ahmed Dudayev and Bishop Amvrosiy, highlighted the project’s cultural and religious importance.
The cathedral, designed to hold over 500 people, will feature traditional Russian church architecture blended with modern elements, along with a parish center and community facilities. Authorities say the project reflects ongoing efforts to expand religious infrastructure and support diverse faith communities in the region.
Watch as we break down the significance of this development and what it signals for the Putin-named district.
