The debut of Russian Baroque, or [[Petrine Baroque]], followed a long visit of [[Peter the Great]] to western Europe in 1697–1698, where he visited the Châteaux of [[Palace of Fontainebleau|Fontainebleau]] and [[Palace of Versailles|Versailles]] as well as other architectural monuments. He decided, on his return to Russia, to construct similar monuments in [[St. Petersburg]], which became the new capital of Russia in 1712. Early major monuments in the Petrine Baroque include the [[Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Saint Petersburg|Peter and Paul Cathedral]] and [[Menshikov Palace]].

During the reign of [[Anna of Russia|Anna]] and [[Elisabeth of Russia|Elisabeth]], Russian architecture was dominated by the luxurious Baroque style of Italian-born [[Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli]], which developed into [[Elizabethan Baroque]]. Rastrelli's signature buildings include the [[Winter Palace]], the [[Catherine Palace]] and the [[Smolny Cathedral]]. Other distinctive monuments of the Elizabethan Baroque are the bell tower of the [[Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra]] and the [[Red Gate]].<ref>{{cite book|author=William Craft Brumfield|title=A History of Russian Architecture|place=Cambridge|publisher=Cambridge University Press|date=1993|isbn=978-0-521-40333-7|chapter=Chapter Eight: The Foundations of the Baroque in Saint Petersburg|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/historyofrussian0000brum}}</ref>

In [[Moscow]], [[Naryshkin Baroque]] became widespread, especially in the architecture of [[Eastern Orthodox]] churches in the late 17th century. It was a combination of western European Baroque with traditional [[Russian architecture|Russian]] folk styles.
