Moscow was often referred to as the "New Jerusalem" in the context of Russian Orthodoxy and national identity, especially after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. This designation emphasized the city's role as a spiritual and political center of the Orthodox Christian world, positioning it as the successor to the Byzantine Empire. The idea was further reinforced by the belief that Moscow was destined to preserve and spread Orthodox Christian values, serving as a beacon of faith amid a tumultuous cultural landscape. This notion was deeply woven into Russian nationalism and the narrative of the Russian state throughout history.
