 | | The center manages to collect some $70,000-$80,000 annually from private investors in Russia and the overseas diaspora to invest in the restoration of churches mostly located in the areas of Tver, Vladimir, Kaluga, Ivanovo and Saratov which are often unattractive to investors because of their distance from the capital. |
 | | Galitzine and his 11 colleagues have helped 32 churches, often limiting their donations to a modest sum that allows a church to cover its roof with ruberoid, a composite bitumen sheet for roofing, to save the building and interior frescoes from rain and snow. |
 | | Galitzine is against gilding churches in cash-strapped Russia, but insists on conservation of historic churches that would otherwise fall apart. |
