That Ivan the Terrible, who ordered that the cathedral be built, blinded the architect who designed and oversaw the construction of the cathedral, so that he would not be able to build anything like it elsewhere.
This is known to be untrue because there are records of the architect, Postnik Yakovlev, was still active in the building trade way after the cathedral was completed.
