Architecture
In the same building, bearing the features of the neo-Russian style , a two-altar church and a church administration are combined [1] . The central cuboid-like volume of the structure is completed by a quadrangle with an octahedral light drum carrying a bow-like dome [3] . A two-tiered tetrahedral hip belfry is placed unconventionally - on the right side of the semicircular apse [1] . The planes of the facades are divided into two floors by small arched window openings [4] .
The overlap of the prayer hall of the lower church, divided into two parts by three triple arcatures ( refectory , the actual prayer hall, the apse, separated by a two-tier iconostasis ), is barrel-shaped on metal beams. The prayer hall of the main temple, located on the second floor, is covered with a flat ceiling, a light drum opens into it. A rectangular apse is distinguished by a two-tier wooden iconostasis [4] .
