Are you kidding me? Traditional Byzantine architecture doesn't have any of that crazy super-stylical shit to it. It's clearly unique to Russia.

>>70620927
It's sui generis
"Because the church has no analogues, in preceding, contemporary, or later architecture of Muscovy and Byzantine cultural tradition in general,[12] the sources that inspired Barma and Postnik are disputed."

Nope. They built only Kremlin. St. Basil cathedral was built by russian architects
But even by russian standard it looks unusual.

But the domes/towers look more like the ones mosques use. St. Basil's Cathedral unironically looks more Islamic than Hagia Sophia, which had been converted into a mosque before.

Pic related is what I have in mind when I think of Byzantine architecture in general, not that crazy looking cathedral.

>>70621170

Also dome-shaped mosques were invented by persians

>>70621221
No it wasn't. Everything, from decorations to brickwork, is distinctly Italian.

>>70621222
It is neo-byzantine style, byzantines had wider domes. Russians made them more slender and parabolic as well as adding more and coloring them.

Mosques look totally different as they're descended from Iranian architecture and were developed independently

I posted a pic that was kinda bad. Here's a better one. Keep in mind this was built in 6th century, so it's a very impressive architectural feat for that era. Early Catholic churches looked very shitty.

Some things are pretty much self evident with even a rudimentary understanding of history, please by all means enlighten me on how Russians independently evolved a civilization parallel to the West, including concepts such as the fine arts and science, without any European influence.

Ffs Mexico actually is heir to a truly original civilization and we don;t go around pretending we were not influenced by Europe or are not a part of Western civilization.

>>70621516
That's not what I meant, just the dismissive attitude. Yeah it's not the greatest building in history but it's not so bad as you make it seem. It's a bit too glitzy but certainly more beautiful than most buildings I've seen in America or Germany.

Every country was and continues to be influenced by countries around them. Europe especially is like a gradient of different cultures wherein certain influences aggregate more in certain places. The post you're replying to seems like bait honestly as all russian nobility spoke french so it's a bit silly to say there was no european influence.

You are not an heir to jackshit, you are a former Spanish colony, nothing more, nothing less.

Art created for the sole purpose of being enjoyed existed since the Stone Age. And Russia and Middle East were also influenced by Greco-Roman civilization.
