President Vladimir Putin Will Be Presented a New Bell Ringing of the Spasskaya Tower Chimes

Go back

On November 4 the President of Russia Vladimir Putin will be given a bell ringing presentation from the Spasskaya Tower clock.

The Spasskaya Tower clock and chimes were stopped in the early hours of October 9 in order to install and fine tune the new bells. The chimes will resume on November 4, the National Unity Day. The bells will continue to ring out the Anthem of Russia and «Glory, Be» but with renewed full-octave sounding.

In 2017 the Executive Office of the President of the Russian Federation supported the initiative put forward by the Public Council of the Spasskaya Tower International Military Music Festival to equip the bell tier of the Spasskaya Tower with additional bells. A working group was set up and includes representatives of the Presidential Executive Office, Russia’s Ministry of Culture, the Federal Guard Service of the Russian Federation and the ‘Church Ringers Society’ Regional Public Organization. The project is being carried under the aegis of the Spasskaya Tower Festival with participation by the Foundation of Saint Andrew the First-Called.
