Original taken from mu_pankratov in MOSCOW OLD BELIEVERS.

I decided, friends, to sum up the Old Believer places in Moscow. Let's put aside for now - mansions and houses of wealthy Old Believers, let's also put aside factories, factories, hospitals and others... there are still quite a few objects left! Looking at the quantity Old Believer churches and those praying, the question involuntarily arises - “Did Nikonians live in Moscow before the revolution?”...just kidding, just kidding...they probably lived.)))
I counted about 70 churches and prayer houses. I tried to post my photos and posts, and a prostration for the materials to my fellow believer and LiveJournal comrade- Rostovetz . I will try to fill each number with photographs and information. (if you, dear friends, have material or corrections, I will be very grateful!)

Old Believer chapel. 2015

In the pre-revolutionary period, there were many religious buildings on Voznesenskaya (Nikolaevskaya) street, but most of them belonged to Orthodox Church. At the same time, in Vyatka province Many Old Believers lived there, they were active in commercial, industrial and social activities, while, of course, needing its own religious building in the provincial center. In the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. Old Belief was especially widespread in the districts located in the east (Glazovsky), south (Malmyzhsky, Urzhumsky) and southeast (Sarapulsky) of the Vyatka region. In the city of Vyatka, the Old Believers community, according to the 1897 census, included 284 people, which was about 21% of the total number of Old Believers in the Vyatka district.

Until the beginning of the 20th century. The Old Believers in Vyatka actually did not have their own prayer house; they met in private apartments. For example, in the house of the Laptev merchants on the same Voznesenskaya street (with late XIX V. - Nikolaevskaya). At the same time, it is curious that in the districts of the Vyatka province, prayer houses were actively functioning at that time. For example, in the Urzhum district lived the famous timber merchants Bushkovs, whose funds supported the chapel of the Bespopov Old Believers (Danilovites and Fedoseevites) in the village of Russky Turek. A wealthy timber merchant, Savva Dmitrievich Shamov, lived in Urzhum, thanks to whose material assistance the existence of a prayer house for the Danilov Old Believers in the village of Komarovo was possible.

In 1895, in Vyatka, a plot of land on Nikolaevskaya Street was purchased by the Old Believer merchant Denis Faddeevich Zonov (c. 1848–1917) from the tradeswoman E.V. Skopina. He came from an old family of Vyatka merchants-Old Believers from the peasant clerics of the Podrelskaya St. Nicholas Church of the Oryol land. It was Zonov who launched stone construction on the estate and expanded its borders to east direction. By the beginning of the 20th century. D. F. Zonov was one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in Vyatka, the owner of several households, the head of a trading house with a large tannery. In addition, Zonov was an active philanthropist: during the First World War, in one of his houses he located an infirmary for lightly wounded soldiers, and sent large quantities of tobacco, matches, letter paper, threads, needles, pencils, and shoe ointment to the front.

At the beginning of the 20th century. The government is pursuing a course of liberalizing religious policy. On April 17, 1905, Nicholas II signed a decree “On strengthening the principles of religious tolerance,” according to which the Old Believers were finally given equal rights with the adherents of the Russian Orthodox Church. They ceased to be called the hated word “schismatic”; persecution and persecution, which were especially harshly carried out by the tsarist administration in the era of Nicholas I, became a thing of the past. The concept of “Old Believers” now united all followers “interpretations and agreements that accept the basic dogmas of the Orthodox Church, but do not recognize some of the rituals accepted by it and conduct their worship according to old printed books”. The consequence of this policy of the authorities, aimed at legalizing the Old Believers, was an increase in the number of its followers in the Vyatka province from 105,528 people in 1905 to 115,644 people in 1909.

Old Believer chapel. 1970s

In 1910, in the estate on Nikolaevskaya Street, at the expense of Zonov and the Laptev merchants, the first Old Believer chapel in Vyatka was built for the community of Pomeranian Old Believers. The Pomeranian sense is one of the currents of the Old Believers, which rejects the Orthodox Church hierarchy and the sacrament of the priesthood. This feature of the doctrine was reflected in the architectural and planning design of the chapel - there was no altar in the prayer building. In accordance with the religious views of the Old Believers, the decorative design of the facades was dominated by motifs of ancient Russian architecture. The author of the building project was the architect E. K. Nykvist. The opening of the chapel was an important event for the religious life of Vyatka. On the occasion of the celebration, Denis Zonov received congratulatory telegrams from the Old Believer communities of Astrakhan, Yaroslavl, and Nizhny Novgorod. D. F. Zonov financed not only the construction of the prayer house, but also the purchase of icons for it. In particular, the Presentation of the Lord and the Entry into the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary were commissioned from the icon-painting workshop of F. A. Bochkarev in Syzran. For the first icon, according to the surviving correspondence of the merchant, they paid 35 rubles, for the second - 30 rubles.

Old Believer chapel. 1980s

It is curious that the chapel, although it was located on one of the main streets of the city, was not placed on the red line of its development, but was moved deeper into the block. Thus, behind the scattering of green spaces, not everyone could see what was happening in the religious building of the Old Believers. On the estate, surrounded by a once blank stone fence, in addition to the chapel, there were two stone outbuildings, a one-story wooden house and services. In 1915, service and residential premises were added to the northwestern corner of the chapel according to the design of I.K. Plotnikov.

After the revolution in 1918, all estate buildings were municipalized by the heirs of Denis Zonov. The chapel itself was closed in 1930, and its building was turned over for housing. In the early 1980s, the building was in disrepair, and there were plans to demolish it. However, the public managed to achieve the preservation of the chapel and its repair. The building is being reconstructed: a training room is being installed in the former prayer room, a bathhouse-sauna with a swimming pool is being built in the basement, and a sports school is located in the building. Since 1995, the premises of the former Old Believer chapel have been occupied by the municipal institution “Children's Philharmonic”. In 2014, the issue of returning the chapel building to the Old Believer community was considered, but the municipality decided to refuse the believers.

Next is a story about Old Believer prayer houses. You must understand that in the Old Believers, those churches that I talked about in the previous parts are also called a prayer house, or prayer house. In this case, I made the divisions rather on an architectural, visual principle. All prayer houses, or as they also say - chapels, are located in the east of the Moscow region. For clarity, once again the map:

Orekhovo-Zuevo - Old Believer Prayer House of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
Set up in a private house near the Zuevsky cemetery, built in 1946 and rebuilt into a prayer house in 1973, after the demolition of the old wooden “black” prayer house.

Abramovka - Old Believer prayer house
In the mid-2000s, a chapel was set up in the house that previously housed the village library, due to the impossibility of returning old church, about which the story below. The prayer house is assigned to the temple in Ustyanovo.

New (New) - House of Worship built in stone and wood two-story building former Novinsky village council

Prayer house of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Smolyovo
Wooden church of a non-district community. Big building of simple architecture, more reminiscent of a house of worship, was built in 1912 at the expense of M. R. Eliseeva. Broken in the 20th century. Currently, a prayer room has been re-established in a private house.

In addition to churches and houses of worship, there are many Old Believer chapels in the eastern Moscow region. They are all revered.

Gvozdna tract - Chapel of Nikita the Great Martyr at the Old Believer Prayer Stone

The village of Gvozdna was first mentioned in the 14th century. The village was located on the left bank of the Desna River, 1 km south-west of the village of Chelokhovo. There is a legend that it was here that the first missionaries baptized the local population and when they left, they left an icon of St. Great Martyr Nikita, who became the heavenly patron of this part of Guslitsy. According to another legend, the image was lost and reappeared in the 17th century, in commemoration of which a wooden church was built by the peasant Sergei Ivanov in 1668. Gvozdna became the center of the parish of the same name in the Kolomna diocese. In the 1770s, the owner of the village, Demidov, took his peasants to Ural factories and in 1792 the church was transported to Yegoryevsk, to the city cemetery, where it burned down in 1918. The village was deserted and overgrown with forest, but life in it did not freeze. The site of the church and the ancient graveyard became a place of pilgrimage for Old Believers, both from the adjacent Guslitsky villages and their distant regions. At the end of the 19th century, the owner of the forest, merchant V. Klopov, erected a chapel on the site of the former graveyard, equipped the source from which the Nikitsky stream originated and erected log houses for pilgrims. A clearing was cleared for prayer services, and especially for religious processions- forest road. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the magazine "Old Believer Thought" repeatedly wrote about crowded services in the forest and called this forest clearing the "Abode of Peace." No. 7 of the magazine for 1915 also mentioned a large red stone that had been preserved in the forest from the foundation of a church so revered by the people.

sacred stone

During the Soviet period, the losses of this protected part of Guslitsy were especially severe. The chapel was destroyed and the village of pilgrims was demolished, and the Old Believer chapel in neighboring Chelokhovo was dismantled. Nevertheless, secret prayer services at the source and stone continued until the end of the 40s of the 20th century.
In the early 70s, most of the “Abode of Peace” physically ceased to exist. Phosphorite mines approaching closely from the west turned the soil up to a depth of 18-20 meters. The source was destroyed, but the stone from the foundation of the church survived. In 2001, in the forest, near the stone, a site was again cleared and a prayer service was served by the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church on the day of St. Nikita (September 28, 2001).

Davydovo - Old Believer Chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
The wooden tiered chapel pillar was built in 2006 with funds from E. N. Mosalova and donations from parishioners.

Zaponorie - Old Believer Chapel
Built in the spring of 2011.

Kostino - Old Believer Chapel
In Kostino there was a wooden prayer house of the neo-okrug community, which was repaired and rebuilt several times. Closed in the late 1930s and broken down in the 1960s. Currently, a wooden tiered pillar chapel has been built in the village.

Lyakhovo - Old Believer Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary
In Lyakhovo there was a wooden prayer house of the neo-okruzhnik community, built in the 19th century. Closed in 1934, later broken down. In the mid-2000s, a tiered wooden pillar chapel was built in the village.

Rakhmanovo - Old Believer Chapel of Demetrius of Thessaloniki
The construction of the chapel on the site of the Demetrievsky Church began in 2000. A crew was hired that turned out to be unprofessional. The pillar they erected, erected with a lot of mistakes, stood like a “tooth” in the middle of the village for two years. Eventually it had to be dismantled and a new pillar was built in 2004 and the chapel was soon completed. Like the temple, it is dedicated to Demetrius of Thessalonica. On its “throne” feast day in 2004, the chapel was consecrated.

Danilovo - Old Believer Chapel
In Danilov there was an Old Believer Church of St. Nicholas and the Kazan Mother of God. The church was demolished in the 1930s, only the Old Believer cemetery remained. There was a stone chapel near the road (not preserved). In 2011, a new chapel was erected.

Smolyovo (Sobolevsky s/s) - Old Believer Chapel of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary
A wooden chapel built in 2010 on a private plot, but open to all residents.

Now I’ll tell you about closed and inactive Old Believer churches, the buildings of which have been preserved.

Orekhovo-Zuevo - The building of the former Old Believer Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
A brick single-domed church in the pseudo-Russian style, built instead of a wooden prayer house in 1906-1908 on the Solovyovs’ property. There were Nikolsky and much. Nikita's chapels. Belonged to the district community. Closed no later than the 1930s, rebuilt - the dome was broken, the second floor was added. Currently occupied by a factory floor.

Noginsk - The building of the former Old Believer Church of Zechariah the Prophet and Evdokia the Martyr
The Church of Zechariah the Prophet and Evdokia the Martyr was built for the Bogorodsko-Glukhovskaya Old Believer community in 1911. As the Old Believer magazine "Church" reported (No. 2, 1911), it was built according to the type ancient temple, built by St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk in her monastery in Polotsk. Indeed, the surviving designs and old photographs of the temple give an idea that the ancient Russian temple was taken as a model - hence the single-domed structure, the roof top, and the free-standing belfry connected to the temple by a small chapel. Even the external painting of the temple, as well as the choirs built inside it, indicate that the ancient traditions of Russian architecture were strictly observed here. And at the same time, the Zakharya Church was surprisingly modern, as it responded to the spirit of the revival of national traditions, which was palpable in the culture of the early 20th century. The author of the church project was the architect I.E. Bondarenko, who built a lot for the Old Believers and well understood the stylistic features of ancient Russian architecture. Money for the construction of the temple, for the bells and for the installation of the iconostasis was given by the famous figure of the Old Believers A.I. Morozov. In addition to the main dedication in honor of the prophet Zechariah, the temple also has a second dedication - in the name of the Venerable Martyr Evdokia. The chapel adjacent to the church from the south was consecrated in the name of St. St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Current state the temple is sad. The building belongs to a local bakery. The temple lost its head, the belfry was distorted, later additions and heating pipes disfigured its appearance. There is no need to talk about the interior. But I really want to believe that the Zakharya Church will wait for its new Morozov and will be revived.

The church was built in 1908-1910 for the community of Old Believers of the Fedoseevsky Old Pomeranian consent at the expense of the manufacturer A.V. Maraeva. It didn't close. However, due to the reduction in the number of people, the community fell into decline. In 1988 it was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Historical and Art Museum.

Aleshino - Former Old Believer Church of St. George the Victorious
It’s especially difficult for me to talk about this temple. My young wife was baptized in this church in 1986. In 1997, I baptized my sons in it.
The church was built in 1886 as a New Believer church at the expense of N.M. Bardygin, the head of Yegoryevsky. Originally consecrated as Znamenskaya. Closed in the 1930s, the bell tower is broken. It was reopened in 1947, and transferred to the Old Believer community not only in Aleshino, but also in the entire surrounding area. Including residents of Yegoryevsk. Because the Yegoryevsk Old Believer Church of St. George the Victorious was closed. Apparently this is why the Aleshinsky Church, as an Old Believer Church, was consecrated as the St. George Church. In the second half of the 2000s, there was almost a raider takeover of the temple. Read more about this and. On December 5, 2008, the Russian Orthodox Church transferred the temple to the Russian Orthodox Church MP. The temple was reconsecrated into the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God of the Sign.

The former name of the village is Barskaya Dubrava. The Old Believer Church (Belokrinichsky Consent) of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1908 at the expense of the Nazhestkin and Morozov brothers.

Nikulino - Former Old Believer Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Old Believer Okrug community in Nikulino was registered in 1909. A wooden one-domed church with a bell tower in the neo-Russian style was built in 1915 on the site of M. D. Klopov with the help of the merchant A. I. Morozov. Closed in the late 1930s, weddings broken. Currently empty.

Built with funds from A.I. Morozov. Closed at the turn of the 1920s-1930s, weddings were canceled. Was busy with the club. By now it is ruined.

Belivevo - Place of the former Old Believer monastery
Half a century after the tragic schism of the Russian Church, the ascetic monk Leonty settled in the forest near the village of Belivo. Tradition says that he traveled a lot and for a long time, visited Constantinople and the Holy Land. Returning to the Moscow region, he founded a monastery in a wild forest. The surrounding swamps and coniferous thickets sheltered the keepers of ancient Orthodoxy from persecution by the authorities. All monastic dormitories that were established by the Old Believers were called monasteries and, naturally, were prohibited. Guslitskaya volost with its swamps and wet forests, where there was a kingdom of mosquitoes, poisonous snakes and wolves, where only experienced old-timers knew the paths through the swamp manes, was an ideal place for secret settlements of Old Believer monks. At what time the monastery (monastery) was founded near the village of Belivo is, perhaps, impossible to say without an archaeological study of the area, since neither written evidence nor legends about it have been preserved. Father Leonty was apparently the last abbot of this monastery. And the last, most decisive government actions to eliminate the “schismatic” monasteries were carried out in 1853-1861. In those days, Moscow Metropolitan Philaret entrusted the monk Parthenius with the work of establishing an Orthodox monastery in Guslitsa, the purpose of which was to distract local residents from "schism".

As in the part devoted to Moscow Old Believer churches, I’ll tell you a little about Edinoverie churches near Moscow. Although, in the literal sense, they are not considered to be Old Believers for well-known reasons.
Not only the Moscow region, but also the all-Russian Edinoverie spiritual center is Mikhailovskaya Sloboda in the Ramensky district.

Mikhailovskaya Sloboda - Church of the Archangel Michael of the United Faith
The stone church was built in 1689 with funds from the Moscow St. George Monastery. In 1822 it was converted to Edinoverie and during the 1830s it was reconstructed in the style of classicism - a rotunda was erected on the temple, a new refectory with St. Nicholas and St. George's chapels and a high bell tower were added. In mid. In the 2000s, the 1830s rotunda was broken and the main volume was reconstructed in 17th-century forms. The church was closed in the 1930s. Reopened in 1943 and closed again in 1961. Reopened in 1989.

Ostashovo - Church of the One Faith Icon of the Mother of God of Vladimir
in the Voskresensky district. Church of the octagon-on-quadrangle type in the Baroque style. Built in 1763 at the expense of Prince G.I. Shakhovsky. Closed in 1933 and abandoned by the 1980s. Opened in 1991 as a Edinoverie church. Renovated.

Next, about two Edinoverie churches in the center of Guslitsa, in the city of Kurovskoye.
Until the 90s of the last century, there was no Edinoverie community in Kurovskoye. It NEVER happened. Before the revolution there were two Old Believer prayer houses. And the local population was and remained predominantly Old Believers. Back in the 19th century, the Preobrazhensky Guslitsky Monastery of New Believers was built here, the main goal of which was the eradication of the Old Believers.

Transfiguration Guslitsky Monastery

But there was practically no noticeable progress in this direction, either before the revolution or after. The mission turned out to be impossible. And when in the early 1990s the attitude of the state authorities towards religion changed and the question arose about the need for Kurovo believers (mainly Old Believers) to have their own temple, suddenly a community of co-religionists “FOUND”. And they were first given the old building, and then they were allocated land for the construction of a new temple. I believe that in some ways this is a continuation of missionary monastic activity. After all, to the local population at that time the construction and opening of a Edinoverie church was presented as the opening of an OLD BELIEVER CHURCH. Over time, many figured out why and left this parish. And at present there are very few parishioners at the Kurovsky Edinoverie Church. A Old Believer Church not in the city...

Kurovskoe - Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord
Church of the Edinoverie community, built in 1994 in a two-story stone and wooden house of the late 19th century, which in the past belonged to the merchant Kudryavtsev. Later, the building housed the city police department, and before that the OGPU. An altar was added to the building in 1995, and a dome was erected. After the consecration of the new Church of St. John the Climacus, the church was closed and the building deteriorated.

Kurovskoe - Church of St. John the Climacus
Built in 1996-2000 next to the wooden building of the Transfiguration Church.

Malkovo - Church of the Nativity of One Faith
A small brick one-domed church in the pseudo-Russian style, built in 1893-1895 with the help of A.V. Smirnov as a Edinoverie church, although the population of the village was predominantly Old Believers. It is no coincidence that the temple was set on fire several times. Since 1916 there was no priest in it and therefore after the revolution it was occupied by the Old Believer community. Closed in the 1930s. In the 2000s it was transferred to the community of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Avsyunino village - Former Edinoverie Church of Peter, Metropolitan of Moscow
A stone church, added in 1903-1905 to the building of the missionary parochial school of the Brotherhood of Metropolitan Peter, built in 1893. A single-domed church extension adjoins the building from the east. Closed in 1930. Currently, the school is occupied by a library and a village club, the temple part is empty, the vaults have collapsed.

December 20th, 2013

I decided, friends, to sum up the Old Believer places in Moscow. Let's put aside for now - mansions and houses of wealthy Old Believers, let's also put aside factories, factories, hospitals and others... there are still quite a few objects left! Looking at the number of Old Believer churches and prayer houses, the question inevitably arises: “Did Nikonians live in Moscow before the revolution?”...just kidding, just kidding...they probably lived.)))
I counted about 70 churches and prayer houses. I tried to post my photos and posts, and a prostration for the materials to my fellow believer and LiveJournal comrade- Rostovetz . I will try to fill each number with photographs and information. (if you, dear friends, have material or corrections, I will be very grateful!)
