Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

EBAday 2024: Growing use cases for AI in banking and payments

During the last panel of EBAday 2024, Patricia Hines, head of banking and payments at Celent talked all things AI with Sara Amara, head of currency and clearing Europe at HSBC; Gurumurthy Palani, head of transaction banking at Gulf International Bank; Christian Sarafidis, chief executive EMEA financial services at Microsoft; and Andy Schmidt, vice president, global industry lead – banking at CGI.

Hines kicked off the session by stating that, in financial services, it has never been technology just for the sake of technology. When it comes to AI, institutions are considering how AI is improving their operations and bottom line, as well as how to sustainably scale it. In order to get a feel for the sentiment in the room, she asked the audience which genAI use case will be the most significant in their originations over the next year. The results of the poll were some of the most diversified across all EBAday panel sessions - showcasing the broad potential that genAI offers to financial institutions. 31% responded that streamlining operations will be the main use cases, 29% voted for improving customer service, and 25% voted for enhanced risk assessment and fraud management. The panel discussion centred around the many use cases they are experiencing in their organisations. “Zero friction is what we aim to achieve for our clients, and the progress that we’ve managed to deliver is what we call predictive and personalised customer service.” She then described other AI use cases in their financial services wing that combine historical data with predictions when it comes to the payment journey and digital risk assessment. “We’ve managed to decrease false positives by 60%.” Gurumurthy added that the sweet spot is a combination of AI, automation and checking processes. “It’s data extraction and classification, which helps augment the operations team. We’ve expanded it to sanctions screening and other checks as well. This has worked efficiently for the last six months, so we’re now looking to expand to client facing services.” Schmidt agreed and highlighted the necessity to develop responsible AI. “The use case that keeps coming up is how do I, as a bank, speak to my clients in a much more personalised way? We all have the Amazon recommendations, but being able to have recommendations based on where you are in life, your savings, your mortgage rates - these are the things to think about.” Speaking of client facing use cases, the panel highlighted the capabilities of AI in synthesising data more quickly, which is crucial in all aspects of business. Schmidt summarised: “Customer service, personalisation - that’s where AI can shine in banking.” When it comes to challenges, Sarafidis spoke to the speed with which AI is being adopted and developed across the industry. “Chat GPT reached 100 million users in two months, that has never happened before.” He emphasised the key to scale adoption is not just leadership, and using AI to completement the human, but also the model itself. Considering 92% of AI use cases are less than a year old, he stressed that at this point of technology adoption, buying out of the box is encouraged rather than building your own solution in-house. Lastly, the panel discussed how where AI should not be used and how heavily they expect it to be impacted by EU regulation. The panel agreed that regulation in the space is inevitable - the EU AI Act is already in the horizon - because with great capabilities come great responsibilities. Maintaining resilience and protecting data are crucial to maintain the health of the industry overall.
