The Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the ancient village of Petrovka belongs to the Sampur deanery of the Tambov Metropolis of the Moscow Russian Patriarchate Orthodox Church. This is one of the oldest temples not only in the region, but also in the Tambov region, and on November 4, 2014, on Kazanskaya, he will celebrate the anniversary patronal feast– 120th anniversary of its foundation.

HISTORY OF OUR TEMPLE

The wooden single-altar cold church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the village of Petrovka was built in 1894 at the expense of parishioners. Icons in new temple were purchased at the expense of the landowner, whose name, unfortunately, has been lost. It is known that his grave is located on the territory of the temple. The Feast of the Kazan Mother of God in 1894 became the day of the consecration of a new church in the village of Petrovskoye.

In the description of the temple of that time we read: “The core of the small temple composition is a squat quadrangle supporting an octagon, completed with an octagonal domed roof and a bulbous dome covered with a ploughshare. Adjacent to it from the east is a rectangular altar apse, and from the west there is a small refectory and a two-tier hipped bell tower with an onion crown. The outside of the temple is covered with planks and painted in white and blue tones, and the lace carved patterns on the cornices of all volumes give it a special lightness and airiness.” The temple was built in the form of a cross, with a large porch, without frescoes. The ceiling painting is currently painted over. On Royal Doors– image of the four evangelists, icon of the Annunciation Holy Mother of God and an icon of the Savior. On the northern gate there is an icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, on the southern one there is the preacher Moses with stone tablets with the Ten Commandments of the Lord.
The history of the temple is inextricably linked with the history of the village. In 1824, the landowner Kovalsky from the village of Knyazhevo had land to the south of his estate. On these lands, Kovalsky decided to form a farm, and settled there 30 families from his estate in Knyazhevo. On the farm, among the 30 families of immigrants, there was the largest family - the family of the three Petrov brothers, more wealthy and influential than all the others. According to the Petrovs, the village that grew on the site of the farm was subsequently named, where in 1894 a new church with an altar was consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. According to archival documents, “The church is wooden, cold, built at the expense of parishioners in 1894. There is one throne, Kazan - October 22 (November 4, new style). Parochial school, one-class. There is parochial guardianship. There is an inventory of church property. Parish books since 1871. Staff: priest and psalm-reader."

INTERESTING FACTS

In the 30s, the Kazan Church was closed; the Soviet authorities made more than once attempts to destroy it: in 1937, the rector of the temple, Archpriest Andrey Vershinin was arrested and sent to the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, and the parish was closed. Since 1939, there have been no services in the church, the bells were thrown down, and the icons were taken home by parishioners. During the Great Patriotic War A directive from the authorities followed - to destroy the temple, dismantling it for building materials for household needs. And the temple was actually saved from destruction by a truly heroic person - the chairman of the Tambovskaya Pravda collective farm. Ivan Fedorovich Tetenev. At first, the authorities required roofing iron from the roof of the temple. But the chairman gave away the iron from almost all the collective farm buildings, but did not allow the church to be touched. After the order to dismantle the temple for building materials, providing boards from the floor for construction, Ivan Fedorovich provided timber, boards and nails to the area, and the temple again remained untouched.

There is a historical document - a receipt from the chairman of Tambovskaya Pravda, preserved in the archive - with which the rebirth of the temple actually begins: “1943. On September 1, the first day, it was issued by me, the chairman of the collective farm “Tambovskaya Pravda” of the Dmitrievsky village council, Ivan Fedorovich Tetenev, that the church, located on the territory of the collective farm, was planned to be demolished for construction purposes in the area. The board of the collective farm, instead of the planned destruction of floors from cuttings inside the building, undertakes to supply 300 m2 of floor boards, 6 m3 of oak timber and 10 kg to the Sampur district executive committee by September 5, 1943. construction nails. The district finance department, when it is taken over, and the property located in it, except for 10 internal replaced frames, offers the collective farm for rent for use as granaries; the material delivered by the collective farm will be accepted in the assessment and recalculated after the expiration of the 3-year lease. This is what this commitment is about. The obligation comes into force on September 5, 1943." Then a military flight unit was located in the church, and there was an airfield nearby.

The pilots went to the front, and a new directive came from the district committee - to completely dismantle the church, including the wooden walls. And at the request of the chairman, in one night the collective farmers filled the temple with bags of grain, turning it into a granary. Even ardent advocates of the destruction of the church could not resist the initiative to preserve strategic reserves. Thus Ivan Fedorovich Tetenev preserved the temple for posterity. The chairman's grave is located on the church grounds. The church was reopened in 1946, when he returned from prison father Andrey, and has not closed since then. A few months later, Father Andrei was recalled to the diocese, and a new rector arrived at the church - father Gregory, which served until 1988. Through his efforts, order was maintained in the temple, and the baptismal house was repaired. From 1988 to 1991, the rector of the temple was father Alexander. Since 1991 he has been rector father Yaroslav(Sytnik Yaroslav Mikhailovich). From 2000 to 2009 he was rector father Andrey. In 1993, the temple was restored: the domes were replaced, church crosses, casing and roof of the temple. Repairs and exterior finishing were carried out in 2008.

Today the temple is operational and services are regularly held here.

Streltsy settlements have long been located at the Kaluga Gate of Zemlyanoy City. In the 17th century, the Vvedenskaya Church was known here. It was mentioned back in 1627, but then it was located on Prechistenka; it was moved to Zamoskvorechye in 1676. In 1694, on the corner of Bolshaya Yakimanka Square, the archers built the Church of Our Lady of Kazan, in Zhitny Dvor. At the end of the 17th century, a rifle regiment under the command of Ilya Durov was settled here. Kazan, as often happened, the temple was named after the chapel, and the main altar was dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Kazansky Lane still reminds us of the temple; about the yard where the grain was stored - Zhitnaya Street. The appearance of this temple with a tented bell tower resembled the preserved Church of the Assumption in the Cossack Settlement on Bolshaya Polyanka. Temple XVII century was preserved after perestroika in 1814, but did not survive into Soviet times. A new huge church building rose here (Bolshaya Yakimanka, 51) in 1876-1886, the temple was consecrated on September 21, 1886. It was built by architect N.V. Nikitin “through the diligence of the local rector, Archpriest Klyucharyov.” This church, more like a large city cathedral, was an architectural and historical memorial - a monument to the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman yoke during the recent Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878.

Massive white temple, placed in the alignment of Bolshaya Kaluzhskaya Street, was an example of the “Byzantine” style, one of the options for the search for the “national idea” in the architecture of the second half of the 19th century. Heavy forms, a huge light drum of the central chapter, with semicircular arches, a huge apse, decorated in the same spirit - all this is typical for the historical architecture of the 1880s. The refectory, built in 1853-1855 according to the design of P.B. Burenin, and the bell tower of the late 17th century, rebuilt in the same years, remained the church's inheritance from the previous temple. The tent of the bell tower of the Kazan Church closed the prospects of Bolshaya Yakimanka from the center. The church had chapels of the Exaltation (until 1814 - St. John the Warrior) and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The interior of the temple with its white marble iconostasis, superbly decorated, aroused the admiration of its contemporaries. The Kazan Church was considered “the most extensive of Moscow churches.” In the first half of the 19th century, with the support of Moscow Metropolitan Philaret, a board of trustees arose at the church to address the needs of poor parishioners. The Kazan Church is repeatedly mentioned in the works of the writer Ivan Shmelev, who was its parishioner during his childhood and adolescence. Shmelev's father was the elder and ktitor of the church; parish life, services, holidays, parishioners and church servants, the writer forever captured in his “Summer of the Lord.” At the beginning of the twentieth century, a church choir sang in the church under the direction of the famous regent of those years, Chmelev. The Kazan Church was closed in 1927. Usually in Soviet Moscow this was followed by demolition. But the temple survived. The large dimensions made it possible to adapt the building to the needs of the Russian “cultural revolution”. In 1929, it was proposed to adapt the church for an archive; in the same year, the Museum of the Mining Academy moved into it. True, according to some sources, they wanted to demolish the temple in the 1930s, but it was saved by the intercession of the restorer Pyotr Baranovsky. As a result, the Kazan Church was beheaded and rebuilt in 1935 as a cinema, destroying the iconostases and the magnificent decoration of its interiors. The bell tower was broken down to the first tier, and the fence was demolished. Here is an excerpt from the memoirs of architect B.S. Marcus: “Now this is not a church at all, but the Avangard cinema.” Under the dome of the temple there is a huge cinema sign... But auditorium in the temple room adapted for him is still not very comfortable, uncomfortable. And in general, when visiting this cinema, you don’t get the impression that you are going to watch a movie. Still, there remains the feeling of a church building with all its features.”

The temple stood in this form until the early 1970s, when it died as a result of a new reconstruction of the street. According to descriptions from the 1960s, the building was poorly maintained, with plywood boarded up the windows and partially filled with trash and rubbish. The demolition of the temple became part of a very peculiar program for improving the proposed route of the American President R. Nixon, who was expected to visit Moscow: “They put a gloss on the route of his proposed passage, destroying buildings that were unsightly, in their opinion, and filling the places where they stood with asphalt or planting flowers,” writes Historian S.K. Romanyuk. Peter Palamarchuk in “Forty Forty” expresses a different version: “It was considered more convenient to destroy the temple than to present it to those converted in the cinema hall. Local residents still speak with indignation about this disgrace.”

The temple was blown up in April 1972, as always, at night. Along with it, the ensemble of the empire-style round square of the Kaluga Gate with its cozy mansions was destroyed. The site of the Kazan Church was built up with the administrative building of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kazan Cathedral on Red Square is a functioning Orthodox church, built in memory of the liberation of Moscow from Polish invaders by the Russian army led by Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin. The history of the Kazan Cathedral is tragic and, at the same time, happy: it was destroyed to the ground, and then reborn like a phoenix from the ashes.

The temple was consecrated in the name of the Kazan Mother of God, with whose icon in 1612 the Russian militia under the leadership of Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky set off on a liberation campaign against Moscow occupied by Polish interventionists. In gratitude for the help and intercession of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, in 1625 the prince, at his own expense, built a wooden cathedral in the name of this shrine. In 1636, on the site of the burnt temple, a stone cathedral, which became one of the main churches in Moscow.

At Soviet power Under the leadership of the architect Pyotr Baranovsky, the Kazan Cathedral was restored, but soon, by order of the authorities, it was closed, and a dining room and then a warehouse were placed in the temple building. In 1936, the year of its 300th anniversary, the Kazan Cathedral was demolished to the ground. In its place, a temporary pavilion of the Third International with a fountain was first built, then a summer cafe, and in place of the altar there was a public toilet.

In 1990-1993, with donations from citizens and funds from the Moscow government, the temple was restored according to the design of Baranovsky’s student Oleg Zhurin, and on November 4, 1993, the Kazan Cathedral was consecrated.

The Kazan Cathedral on Red Square is one of the most notable masterpieces of Moscow church architecture, and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is one of the most revered in the Russian Orthodox Church.
