Detailed acoustic measurements were obtained in the old Russian tent-shaped Cathedral of St. Basil, located in the very centre of Moscow. The measured values of RT60, D50, C80 and RASTI as well as the structure of the early sound reflections in the form of ETC are presented and analysed. Some remarks on the acoustics of Russian tent-shaped churches are given.
