Fig. 5-7. The Monastery of New Athos (Novy Afon), built in the 1880s in the Neo-Byzantine style, presently under Restoration.
Fig. 7. Hopefully, the parquet floor of the main church of New Athos will not be replaced. In particular, it must be protected from damage in the course of interior restoration. The best way of conservation should be lacquering after a gently scraping.
Fig. 8. Pitsunda Cathedral, built in the 10th century by King Bagrat III of Georgia, partly reconstructed in the 19th century.
Fig. 9. Basilica in Tsandrypsh (Pilenkovo), founded in the 6th, reconstructed in 8-10th centuries.
