Currently, architects are turning in their design and construction practice to repeat the traditions of architecture from different countries and eras.The modern architecture of Russia in the construction of new churches has tendencies that, on the one hand, based on the styling, and the other, on the understanding of the church in the sight of modern architecture. Tendency connected with stylized, means copying the already known buildings, which hides its creative reinterpretation, causing only a dead form. To create a new form you need, first, the knowledge of the architectural heritage, and secondly, the possession of creativity, that is, a deep intelligence, rich imagination and mastery of drawing, and thirdly, knowledge of modern designs and materials. All this combined with the Christian faith as to ensure the proper development of the modern architecture of the temple. The constructions of new churches need to remember that the church exterior, reflecting its structural, typological and canonical entity should reflect the essence of the Church, by the law of beauty.
