Igor Konovalov is the most famous bell ringer in Russia. Not only is he the chairman of Russia's Society of Bell Ringers, but he has also been ringing the bells at some of the nation's most prestigious churches, including those at the Kremlin in Moscow, for the last twenty years.
Because of him, hundreds of bell towers in different cities have reacquired their voices, including the major tower of the country, the Kremlin's Ivan Velikiy («Ivan the Great»).
Twice a week, he tutors his students on the art of bell ringing. And twice a week, he makes the familiar trek to the Christ the Savior Cathedral, where he rings the bells on weekends.
He is the Moscow patriarch's senior bell ringer and is known around the world as the man who revived Russia's traditions of bell ringing.
