Why are you reporting this puzzle?

When a messenger told Empress Catherine the Great about the Russian victory over the Turkish Fleet at the Bay of Chesma in 1770, she immediately decided to have a church built on the spot she was standing. Ten years later, in 1780, the foreign looking, white and red striped building was finished. Across from the church stands the neo-gothic Chesma palace. It served as a stopping ground for Catherine on her way to Tsarskoye Selo, the town containing a former Russian residence of the imperial family. It was also where Rasputin was laid in state after his murder. The church served as a museum during Soviet times but was revived as a place of worship in 1999.

This church looks like a pleated pink skirt. Very original for Catherine the Great's times I should say! . TFS. Marina.

Very pretty, reminds me of the It's a Small World ride at Disneyland. In this pic it looks more pink than red, & I like pink better. ;-)

Its kept up with its original colors, pasta. What I couldn't find was why Catherine the Great was so inthralled with that particular victory. Thanks :)

ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING STORY. IT SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE INSTEAD OF HISTORY. THANKS DENDRO FOR THIS HISTORY LESSON.
