Abstract
The idea of the protection by the Virgin and her Robe was very important in Old Russia. According to the Paterikon of the Monastery of the Caves, the Virgin sent architects to Kiev to construct the monastery’s church. Under Andrew Bogoliubsky the veneration of the Intercession of the Virgin began to spread. The layout of the building complexes in Vladimir and in the Moscow Kremlin, both of which comprised a Dormition Cathedral and a church of the Deposition of the Robe, reflected the sacred topography in Blachernae.
