Moscow Choral Synagogue
The synagogue is located close to the former Jewish settlement in Zaryadye. Moscow city authorities had officially banned synagogue construction inside Kitai-gorod, and thus the synagogue was built one block east from its walls. In 1881, the community hired architect Semeon Eibuschitz, an Austrian citizen working in Moscow. However, his 1881 draft plan was not approved by authorities. The second draft, also by Eibuschitz, was approved in July, 1886, and construction began on May 28, 1887. In 1888, the city intervened again and required the builders to remove the completed dome and the exterior image of the scrolls of Moses. Construction dragged on for five years, until the authorities once again banned it in 1892, giving two choices: sell the unfinished building or convert it into a charity.
During the Russian Revolution of 1905, the Czarist government was forced to lift all bans on worship, so Jews, Old Believers, and other minority faith groups were free to build their places of worship anywhere. Eibuschitz had died in 1898, and so the community hired architect Roman Klein to finish the construction. The synagogue opened in 1906. It operated throughout the Soviet period, although authorities annexed some parts of the original building for secular purposes in 1923 and 1960.

Russia- Yeltsin opens memorial synagogue in Moscow
T/I: 11:11:15
Hoping for a temporary break from the heavy demands being put upon him by his nation's looming financial and political crisis, Russian leader Boris Yeltsin on Wednesday (2/9) engaged in some lighter presidential duties by opening a memorial synagogue in Moscow. Yeltsin toured the new synagogue and looked around a museum of the Holocaust, also on the site at Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: BOMB DESTROYS MARINA ROSHA SYNAGOGUE
Russian/Nat
A bomb has destroyed one of Moscow's synagogues, sparking fears that anti-semitism is once again on the increase in Russia.
The Marina Rosha synagogue was reopened just over a month ago - the attack has left it badly damaged with its windows shattered and roof caved in.
It was the second synagogue bombing in Russia this year - the first took place in April in the northern city of Yaroslavl
The Marina Rosha synagogue - one of only two in Moscow - was reopened in June after it was burned down in an apparent arson attack in 1993.
Now it is badly damaged - its windows shattered and roof caved in.
Nobody was injured in the explosion which happened late on Thursday evening.
A community leader was one of the first to arrive on the scene of the blast.
He later told reporters it was time for the police to take action.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
At midnight last night I received a report that there was an explosion at the synagogue. When I came to the synagogue I saw there representatives from the prosecutor's office and experts from the anti-terrorist centre and they were investigating and searching the place. Then they discovered that it was a bomb - the equivalent of 200 grammes of TNT - and it exploded at midnight.
SUPER CAPTION: Zev Kuravski, Head of the synagogue's community
The collapse of the Soviet Union eliminated tacit suppression of Jewish cultural and religious life.
And Russia's two and a half (m) million Jews have reopened synagogues, camps and schools.
But a strong vein of racist feeling still runs through the country - some hard-liners blame the Jews for the country's post-Soviet economic and political chaos.
And attacks on Jewish properties are on the increase - last April a synagogue was bombed in the northern city of Yaroslavl.
Even so, the Jewish community in Moscow has expressed determination not to let the latest attack affect their lives.
And a service was held at the synagogue as scheduled Friday.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: BOMB FOUND IN SYNAGOGUE
Russian/Nat
A bomb was found in a Moscow synagogue on Sunday in what appeared to be the latest episode in a recent wave of attacks against Jewish sites in the Russian capital.
The device was found by children inside a Lubavitch synagogue near Moscow's central Pushkin Square and was brought outside by afternoon worshipers.
A special remote control robot was brought in to detonate the package.
No one was injured, but several windows in a neighboring building were shattered.
According to the Russian Federal Security Service, the bomb contained the equivalent of a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of T-N-T.
The incident happened shortly before a Jewish ceremony with over 100 children in attendance took place.
There have been several violent anti-Semitic incidents in Moscow and across Russia in recent months.
Bombs exploded near two other Moscow synagogues in May, and a Jewish leader was stabbed in the city's main Choral Synagogue earlier this month.
Neo-Nazi groups have denounced Jews at public rallies and several parliamentary deputies have made anti-Semitic remarks.
Jewish leaders say the open anti-Semitism has encouraged some to commit crimes against Jews and Jewish institutions.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Any bomb can inflict real damage if it explodes, especially in circumstances when a lot of people are gathered. When there are children about, any explosive device could, of course, cause a lot of damage.
SUPERCAPTION: Major Oleg Liglyov, Moscow Police
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
It was a highly suspect object, metal, welded firmly, held together with heavy bolts. It was shoved under the shelves, and wrapped in cloth.
