To the Editor:

The beautiful photograph on page 1439 of the November 12 issue, labeled St. Basil's, Moscow, is in fact the Church of the Resurrection (or Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood) in St. Petersburg. The Church of the Resurrection, now a museum, was built between 1883 and 1907 on the site where Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.
