History
After the destruction of the Moscow Iverskaya Chapel in 1929, Orthodox Russian people living in Harbin [1] , at the suggestion of clerctor of the St. Nicholas Cathedral E. V. Popov, decided to erect an exact copy of it in the fence of St. Nicholas Cathedral, on the north side of the church. The design of the chapel was made by engineer E. A. Ulasovets, based on a sketch by Professor P. F. Fedorovsky. The chapel was laid in the summer of 1933 and completed construction in October of that year [2] .
On this occasion, it was reported in the magazine “Boundary” for 1937, published in Harbin: “Russians abroad with touching love seek to preserve everything that revives the majestic image of our Motherland in the hearts and memory. And that which is destroyed by the Communists in the USSR is being restored, reborn in our country, in exile. About five years ago, the chapel of the Iveron Mother of God was demolished in Moscow, which was deeply revered not only by Muscovites, but also by all Russian people ... A chapel was built in the fence of the Harbin St. Nicholas Cathedral, which is an exact copy of the Moscow Iveron chapel ... " [1]
In the Iberian chapel was a wonderful image of the Mother of God; the image of St. Nicholas [3] [4] was transferred here from the Harbin station built in 1903.
During the Chinese "Cultural Revolution" in August 1966, the hungweibs destroyed the Iversky Chapel along with the cathedral. All the icons that were not only in the chapel, but also in other temples of the city, were burnt [5] .
In 2012, the Chinese entrepreneur Huang Zu Xiang created the Volga Manor, which has the status of a tourist attraction of the state level AAAA. Among the life-size recreated several wooden objects, once the famous structures of Russian Harbin, the St. Nicholas Cathedral with the Iverskaya Chapel [6] was reconstructed according to the project of the architect Nikolai Kradin [7] .
