Vladimir Putin showed his private chapel in the Kremlin

In the trailers of the film on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Putin's rule, which is to be broadcast on Sunday on Russian television, an employee of the WGTRK and Putin station enter the room, which the president calls “his home church”. It is a room with an area of ​​several dozen square meters, its main colors are white, gilding and green, and the floor is laid on the floor. The icon of Our Lady of Kazan hangs at the entrance. We were not able to recognize other icons.

According to Putin, here he “came to pray” during the seizure of the Nord-Ost musical in the Dubrowka Theater Center in 2002-It was here, during the Nord-Ost crisis, I knelt for the first time in my life-says Putin in the film.

The chapel in the Kremlin is similar in the decor to the home church at Putin's residence in Nowa-Ort. Official film chronicles show that the walls in it, like in the chapel in the Kremlin, are painted white, and golden paint was used to decorate the room.

The decor of the domestic church in the Kremlin differs from the likely interior of the domestic church at Putin's Palace in Gelendży. According to the website information, the main part of the walls is finished with materials with darker shades, and there is an iconostasis-tryptych with images of the Mother of God, Jesus Christ and Prince Włodzimierz.

In addition to the chapel, Putin also showed on television a living room with a fireplace, dining room and kitchen in his Kremlin apartment, where – as he claims – he slept most often over the last three years. There is also an icon in the dining room-a copy of the 12th-century Nowogrodzka icon of the Steadfast Savior (the original is stored in Galeria Tretiakowska).
