The cathedral suffered in times of turmoil just as the population of Moscow did; in 1812 Napoleon's cavalry stabled their horses there, while in 1917 it came under shellfire during fighting between the Bolsheviks and White troops. Experts have long attempted to reconstruct the initial aspect of the cathedral of the Assumption, and other structures erected in the time of Ivan Kalita, none of which has survived.
