context_page_description: Yakov Grigorievich Bukhvostov, a serf of Russian boyar Mikhail Tatishchev, designed the so-called "octagon on cube" churches in the Naryshkin Baroque mode. He was active in the 1690s in Moscow and Ryazan, where he supervised the construction of the new Dormition Cathedral in the kremlin. His tower churches in Ubory and Troitse-Lykovo "may owe something to prototypes in wooden Russian architecture". They are built of brick and decorated with profuse white stone ornamentation. A soaring white tower in front of New Jerusalem Monastery was also built from Bukhvostov's designs. Other buildings attributed to him include the Fili and Zyuzino churches. Some of the attributions are far fetched, since "there is documentary evidence of his being in charge of constructing only a handful of buildings".
context_section_description: The following buildings have been documented as having been constructed by Bukhvostov and his associates:
  The walls and towers of the New Jerusalem Monastery, including the Church of the Entry to Jerusalem, 1690 — 1697. Destroyed in World War II, subsequently restored.
  The Church of the Holy Mandylion in Ubory, 1694 — 1697.
  The Assumption (Dormition) Cathedral in Ryazan, 1693 — 1699.
  The Holy Trinity Church in Troitse-Lykovo, 1698 — 1704.
  Besides these four, a number of churches somewhat similar in style have been attributed to Bukhvostov in some non-specialist literature, without any documented sources, just on the basis of the comparison of the style. These include:
  John the Baptist and Saint Spirit churches in the Solotcha monastery, close to Ryazan.
  The Church of Saints Boris and Gleb in Zyuzino, now in Moscow.
  The Church of the Intercession at Fili, now in Moscow.
