Huge numbers of clergy and believers were murdered and imprisoned. In 1931, communist minister Lazar Kaganovich ordered the destruction of the Cathedral. The communists built a swimming pool on the site. Many millions of Christians were murdered in the 1930s by the communists. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian Orthodox Church organised the rebuilding of the Cathedral using donations from the public.
