In the pics for the last Liturgy of Met Tikhon of Pskov, we get one of the best glimpses of the interior of the 1-year old [ by consecration ] Cathedral of the Resurrection and the New Martyrs :

However, I feel that the altar below the frescos looks cold and a tad forbidding. The image of the Cathedral's altar did NOT show up here, either due to my mistake or an automatic protection from use for a wrong purpose.

Do you have a link so that we can view the entire image?

I like how the deacon leads the people in prayer, and how all or most women are veiled. What a contrast to western forms of worship!

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Yes, here is the entire photo gallery. Some pictures are only of attendees at the final liturgy celebrated by Metropolitan Tikhon [Shevkunov] before leaving Sretensky for the border of Lithuania :
