History

The history of St. Nicholas parish dates back to the middle of the 19th century, when a wooden church was built in the village of Oblivskaya in the Oblivsky district of the Rostov region. At one time, a description of the temple was compiled by his priest Stratonik Yakovlev and Cossack Pavel Telegin. The three-domed church with a bell tower was a wooden building.
