Историческая справка

Several months after “Bloody Sunday” in January 1905 Emperor Nicholas II had issued the Religious Tolerance Act. This document declared rights of all religions and denominations. Several statements specifically treated Old Believers. They were granted equal rights with other heterodox churches and equal opportunities to build houses of worship. The temple in Tokmakov Pereulok was the first one built by Pomor Old Believers after the enactment. Its architecture resembles ancient Pskov churches. That is why it was quite unusual in Moscow. The construction cost 150.000 rubles that was mostly covered by manufacturer and Old Believer Savva Morozov. The temple was closed in 1930 but the Pomor community received Nikolskiy temple on Preobrazhenskoe cemetery instead. (During Soviet times the Old Believers suffered less persecution than the Orthodoxes, probably because the Old Believers had also been in opposition to tsarism, and Savva Morozov had financed RSDLP). Afterwards the original temple was used as a children’s theatre, a library, a sewing room and a stamp factory. In 1988 the temple was returned to the Pomor church and the restoration continues.
