The Archangel Cathedral had a considerable impact on the further development of Russia architecture. The south wall illustrates the deeds of the Archangel Michael, chosen by the Muscovy Princes to be the heavenly patron of Russian warriors, and the cathedral's four thick pillars are adorned with full-length depictions of early Russian rulers, martyrs and saints.
