Hi again Vladimir,

The small church Pokrov Bogoraditsky on the river Nerl founded in  
1165 is still intact with plenty of reliefs.

see http://www.stavgard.com/gotmedeltid/gotkyrkor_/ryskkyrkokonst_/ 
storfurstd/default.htm page 10 (Swedish).

Hi Vladimir,

The Uspenskij cathedral and the Demetrius cathedral are according to  
my records from the 12th century with facial reliefs like those on  
some churches in Gotland from the same period.
Among the reliefs there is one of Alexander the great and his space  
travel.

Also Gotland wawered in the 12th century between the Orthodox  
Christianity and Catholicism. You can see it on the churches. There  
was a peace treaty between the Gotlanders and Heinrich Löwe of Saxony  
in Artlenburg 1161. After that Catholic monks started to enter Gotland.
