girldetective · 09-08-2008, 10:11 AM

Are you in the Forbidden City, China?

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 10:16 AM

nope, not in China. I'm more western than that.

Tully Mars · 09-08-2008, 10:19 AM

Asia?

uncle phil · 09-08-2008, 11:16 AM

moscova?

girldetective · 09-08-2008, 02:54 PM

St Petersburg?

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 03:27 PM

The unc is in town. Yes, I'm in Moscow.

...but try to guess the building I'm in...a terrible building.

Tully Mars · 09-08-2008, 03:38 PM

Are you in one of the buildings in Lubyanka Square?

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 03:41 PM

A reasonable guess, Tul. But no, that's not what I had in mind with "terrible".

Tully Mars · 09-08-2008, 03:48 PM

Ivan Veliki tower?

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 04:00 PM

The "Ivan" connection is what I had in mind, but not that tower.

Tully Mars · 09-08-2008, 04:01 PM

How about the Archangel Cathedral?

uncle phil · 09-08-2008, 04:35 PM

the cathedral of the dormition?

Cathedral of the Dormition (disambiguation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 04:54 PM

Those are good guesses, and I am in a cathedral, but neither of those.

unc, that wiki link has no info...try this one Dormition Cathedral, Moscow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tully Mars · 09-08-2008, 05:05 PM

Cathedral of the Assumption, I assume?

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 05:10 PM

Don't assume, I'm not at the Assumption.

Tully Mars · 09-08-2008, 06:06 PM

Faceted Palace?

BadNick · 09-08-2008, 07:08 PM

sorry Tul, not there either. But you can easily see me from there.

uncle phil · 09-09-2008, 03:08 AM

cathedral of christ the saviour?

BadNick · 09-09-2008, 05:03 AM

unc, not that one, either. The one I'm in is on Red Square.

girldetective · 09-09-2008, 05:09 AM

O for heavens sake.

Youre in St Basil's arent you, badboy?

uncle phil · 09-09-2008, 05:30 AM

cathedral of the annunciation?

BadNick · 09-09-2008, 06:28 AM

Yes! Blessed is the girldetective who found where I am. So you're up again, gd.

As I clued above, Ivan the Terrible commissioned the construction of this cathedral. And living up to his terrible reputation, Ivan had the architect, Postnik Yakovlev, blinded to prevent him from building a more magnificent building for anyone else.
