St. Nicholas Temple-monument of victims of political repression.

Consecrated in 1998.

Project author: architect V. V. Terskov.

St. Nicholas temple-monument was conceived before the construction of the old residents and well-wishers at the scene of the passage of the repressed and prisoners unjustly suffering.

This place is a transplant from trains to barges for shipment to the North.

The first Foundation stone of the future Church was consecrated on 6 February 1994 Preosvjashchennym Anthony Bishop (now Archbishop). The construction lasted 4 years and was connected with many difficulties and hardships. Construction was carried out through the efforts of the Board of Trustees the administration of the Kirov district, of the city administration, heads of regional and city administration, Diocesan Administration, entrepreneurs and individuals.

October 30, 1998, the day of memory of victims of repression, occurred the consecration of the newly built St. Nicholas Church.

December 2, 1999, the temple-monument to victims of repression visited visited his Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II and aversis funeral service.

The temple was built under the project of Vladimir Viktorovich the Terek, 30 m high (with the cross), has one chapel, an area of 25 m2 with capacity for 70 people. The Church are children's and adult Sunday school and Orthodox brotherhood.

Once this land was held of the Siberian hard way, and the place of the temple housed a transit camp for prisoners. Today, the temple is not only a symbol of faith to parishioners, he became a full hallmark of the Kirov area: here, married couples, and the Park is a memorable place for residents of the area and the traditional venue for the birthday celebration of the Kirov district.

When I was in this Church 4 years ago there was only the temple building. Now there is a whole complex which includes an arched gate with a bell tower located on them, which is crowned by an octagonal dome. The Church and gate designed in the same style stone tent-shaped architecture,this is very unusual, because the churches differ from the dome. This can be seen, drawing attention to the roof of buildings such the Church of napominat tower. As well as the restored parish school Mature, in my opinion, in the cross-dome style, usual for Orthodox churches.

Today the Church keeps the lists of the repressed in the 1930 - 1950 years of the Orthodox priests.

Next to the Church Foundation stone, the inscription on which States that there will be built a monument to special forces soldiers who died in local conflicts. I believe that such buildings as the Cathedral and the monument, we need to remind you, because it is impossible to forget about the tragedies of the people, otherwise they will be repeated again.
