===Russia=== [[File:Spb 06-2017 img04 Spit of Vasilievsky Island.jpg|thumb|[[Saint Petersburg Bourse]], part of the [[Old Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange and Rostral Columns]] in [[Saint Petersburg]], Russia]] The style was attractive in [[Russian Empire|Russia]] because they shared the [[Eastern Orthodox]] faith with the Greeks. The historic centre of [[Saint Petersburg]] was rebuilt by [[Alexander I of Russia]], with many buildings giving the Greek Revival a Russian debut. The [[Saint Petersburg Bourse]] on [[Vasilievsky Island]] has a temple front with 44 Doric columns. [[Giacomo Quarenghi]]'s design for the [[Saint Petersburg Manege]] "mimics a [[Parthenon|5th-century BC Athenian temple]] with a [[portico]] of eight [[Doric column]]s bearing a [[pediment]] and bas reliefs".<ref name="google">{{cite book|title=The Companion Guide to St Petersburg|author1=FitzLyon, K.|author2=Zinovieff, K.|author3=Hughes, J.|date=2003|publisher=Companion Guides|isbn=9781900639408|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u8D75IzFL4YC&pg=PA78|page=78|access-date=2015-06-24}}</ref> [[Leo von Klenze]]'s expansion of the palace that is now the [[Hermitage Museum]] is another example of the style.
