About the place

The building went up in 1970 as a hall for civil funerals at Dombrabad cemetery No. 2 and was handed to the Russian Orthodox Church in August 1991. Services began that October, the first liturgy was held on a wooden platform in November, and in 1992 local craftsmen cast its bells and built the frames for the domes.

After the rebuilding, Archbishop Vladimir (Ikim) consecrated it on 18 November 1999. It is a working parish, mostly used for funeral services, in the south-west of the city.
