Историческая справка

Goncharnaya sloboda is the oldest historical settlement in Zemlyanoy Gorod. The earliest mention of Goncharnaya
sloboda dates back to the 12th century. Sloboda was mostly inhabited by potters. When the population increased greatly, and the aristocrats` family homesteads and mansions of Old Believer merchants spread, the names of the streets, lanes and embankment, preserved the memory of the old district, along with remarkable churches. One of the stunning churches of Goncharnaya sloboda is the Church of the Assumption in Gonchary. It is decorated by colorful tiles made under the guidance of Stepan Polubes. The tiles are fantastically ornamented with figures of evangelists, Phoenix birds and floral patterns. Contemporaries could not believe that an ordinary man was able to create such a miracle and gave Stepan Ivanov the nickname Polubes (half-demon). A particularly revered icon with the Virgin Mary with three hands was a gift given by monks of Athos to patriarch Nikon in 17th century.
