In the 1930s, the Ascension Church was closed and destroyed. Only the first tier of the bell tower has survived to this day.
In 1989, during the perestroika years of the USSR , the Orthodox community of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord was registered, and in 1990, the restoration of the Ascension Church according to the project of Boris Vinnikov (in the style of Moscow-Yaroslavl architecture of the 17th century) began on the territory of the former church garden. On November 4, 1995, the first Divine Liturgy was served in the new church. [4] Over time, a bell tower was erected, utility rooms were built, a church courtyard was equipped.
