4th Rome Question

Several centuries ago, Philopheus, the Father Superior of the Pskov Yelizarov Monastery, stated in a letter to Prince Vassily III that Moscow was the Third Rome and "there could never be a Fourth Rome". He had in mind the world centre of Christianity, but the concept of the Third Rome soon became the grounds for the special world significance of the
Russian state.


There yah go.

There are also some references on Washington D.C. as "4th Rome", based on architecture:

I thought Hitler believed that Berlin would be the "Fourth Rome" (in his Third Reich - OK that sounds weird).
