Alexander Nevsky Church
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and -Kirchen are churches that after Alexander Nevsky , a prince of Novgorod Republic are named. He was a Russian military leader who defeated the Swedes in the Battle of the Neva in 1240 and defeated the German crusaders in the Battle of Lake Peipus on April 5, 1242 , and was later canonized.
Many of these are large orthodox churches that were established during the period of the tsarist Russification policy (from the 1890s) and were and are generally perceived by local, mostly non-Orthodox populations as symbols of Russian rule. Not infrequently, the street in question - one of the central streets of the city - was renamed Alexanderstraße at the same time.
