Atamanovka Monastery. © Chita and Krasnokamensk Eparchy

The icon of All Saints, who shone in the Russian land, is dark from the mantles of the saints: everywhere you look at the Moscow, Murom, Rostov, Solovetsky, Kiev-Pechersk, Vologda, Tver, Siberian miracle workers - everywhere cockles, mantles, schemas. For a thousand years, our holy ancestors, having loved Christ and lustful for “The One, work,” fled from the world. And the world followed them into the deserts and forests, attracted by holiness and purity.
The first monastery in the Trans-Baikal region is dedicated to the memory of all Russian saints. And today, the heart of an Orthodox person is drawn to the monastery - not so much because those who live in it shine with holiness like the ancient ascetics, but because here, in the place dedicated to them, "an innumerable host of our relatives," as it is sung in one of the festive stichera - stands before the King of glory and prays interceding for us.

In 2001, 20 km from Chita, on the outskirts of the village of Atamanovka, the first stone was laid and a place was consecrated for the construction of a monastery in honor of All the Saints who shone in the Russian land. Particles of the relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh, hegumen of the Russian land, and the reverend wives of Diveevsky: Alexandra, Martha and Elena were laid at the foundation of the monastery.

The construction of the monastery was carried out by the construction units of the Trans-Baikal railway, which, represented by its leaders V.F. Sekhin, and later S.Yu. Ivanov, does not leave the monastery with his care even after the construction of the temple and cell building, helping to improve the monastery territory.

On June 29, 2003, on the day of All Saints who shone forth in the land of Russia, His Grace Evstafiy, Bishop of Chita and Transbaikal, in co-service of the Chita and Buryat clergy, consecrated the monastery. A particle of the relics of the Holy Great Martyr Eustathius Plakida was placed at the foundation of the throne of the monastery church - heavenly patron ruling bishop. So on the Trans-Baikal land, the first monastery after the godless years shone with golden domes, reminding the bustling people about God and His commandments, about life and death, about hell and paradise, about faith and repentance.

In the monastery, fervent monastic prayer is offered up to God for the peace of the whole world, for our God-protected country of Russia, for its authorities and armies, for “those who are in services” and “lying in infirmities” and for every soul of Orthodox Christians. Every day, around the walls of the monastery, the sisters make a procession with the Kazan icon. Mother of God and singing prayers. This procession constitutes an invisible reliable fence.

In the monastery there is a Crucifix with a particle of the tree of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, icons with particles of the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Innocent of Irkutsk, St. Varlaam of Chikoy, the Holy Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the Holy Martyr Raphael, the Blessed Matrona of Moscow, as well as the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, donated to the monastery by His Holiness the Patriarch Kirill during his tenure as Metropolitan of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, in memory of his visit to the monastery on September 24, 2004. On the largest monastery bell, the blagovest, the first Russian saints Boris and Gleb are depicted on one side, and on the other, one of the last famous Russian saints, the Royal Passion-Bearers. The names of the royal martyrs Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia are named in monasticism by five sisters of the monastery. Two sisters are named in monasticism in honor of the venerable martyrs Elizabeth and Barbara.


Today there are 15 nuns in the monastery - 6 nuns, 7 nuns and 2 novices. The sisters perform obediences in sewing, knitting, icon-painting workshops, in prosphora, cultivate a garden and flower beds, work in a cowshed, a poultry house and a dairy farm, sing in the kliros, drive a car. Obedience in the monastery is accompanied by prayer, which is the basis of monastic life.

Since July 2010, the nun Olga (Vasilkova) has been the abbess of the monastery. The decision to approve her in this position with the right to wear a pectoral cross was made at a meeting of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on July 26, 2010, held in Kiev.

V different years Archbishop of Yekaterinburg and Verkhotursk Vikenty (2001 and 2006), Archbishop of Tikhvin Konstantin (2001), Metropolitan of Smolensk and Kaliningrad Kirill (2004), Archbishop of Orekhovo-Zuevsky Alexy (2005), Bishop of Gatchina Ambrose ( 2005), Archbishop of Annunciation and Tyndinsky Gabriel (2006), Archbishop of Vereya Eugene (2009).

With the help of God, the prayers of the Russian saints, the tireless care and care of His Grace Eustathius, the labors of the sisters, the help of benefactors, the monastery grows and beautifies. And the Russian saints, whose name she bears, are waiting for us to come not only to their earthly abode, but also to the Heavenly Abode. In what way may the Lord help us.

All Saints Edinoverie Church in Shuya

With God's blessing, given by our Archpastor, His Eminence, we set about building a church of the same faith, opened in December 1869, school of the same faith.
The Shuya community of the same faith consisted of only 24 people. The church was arranged mainly by two of them: I.A. Borisov and N.B. Zhurov. With the diligence and diligence of the first, with the help of the merchant's wife M.P. Voinova, land was purchased with all the buildings necessary for the church and school, a garden and a vegetable garden, for 4000 rubles; in addition to this, 2,000 rubles were contributed to the Shuisky bank to ensure the priest. N.B. Zhurov took care mainly of the organization and maintenance of the school, in which in 1871 up to 100 people studied. boys and girls.
October 27, 1870 will remain a memorable day for the Shuya co-religionists. On this day, the dawn of the revival of the Shuisky Old Believers, perishing in error and ignorance, dawned on a new grace-filled life sent down through the Archpastors of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
The first open Divine service based on old printed books, which had not yet been heard in Shuya, was performed modestly, but it was touching and joyful for everyone. In the building chosen for the construction of the church, a new, pine table, covered with a white tablecloth, was placed - on the table lay St. the cross and the Gospel, and a water-blessing bowl was placed: on the eastern wall was hung St. an icon with an eight-pointed cross at the top. Prayer and consecration of water were performed by those summoned on purpose for this from the village. Dunilov as a priest and a guide, with strict observance of the rules of the charter, so that they lasted up to three hours. At the prayer service there were no more than two dozen old men and old women and pupils of the school; during the consecration of water, candles burned in everyone's hands. After the prayer service, there was no feast or congratulations.
However, how immodest was our first spiritual celebration - the news of it quickly spread throughout the city. By the end of the prayer service, more worshipers appeared, among whom we saw persons from the surrounding Old Believers, disposed towards unity with the Church, who were apparently touched by the open Divine service according to the old books and rituals. “Glory to God,” they said, “we were sheep without a shepherd, but now we see faith and salvation.” And one old woman, an Old Believer, to my proposal to come to the prayer service, which they would read and sing from old books, answered: “Is this really true? I’ll definitely come and see: it’s a pity that I don’t have a ladder and an assistant ”(The schismatics believed that whoever prays without a ladder and an assistant, God does not accept prayer. The Lord will pray and lift up to God.). Indeed, the old woman came to the prayer service - we gave her a ladder and a helper, and she prayed earnestly, promising to continue to visit us. And other Shuiskys and the surrounding Old Believers, as one hears, say: “We are not averse to walking, but we have a guard. Grandfather Eumenius (false priest of the Austrian initiation, cross, village of Chizheva) says: the symbol says: I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church, - and you have two - Great Russian and one of the same faith; which one of them has made a mistake? To those we gave the following answer: your grandfather Eumenius interprets it crookedly: the Great Russian Church and the one of the same faith are not two Churches, but one - according to dogmas, Hierarchy, commandments and Divine services; one in it is the communion of the body and blood of the Lord and other sacraments. Difference in rites: but the rite in itself is not as important as Eumenius interprets; there would be a holy, Orthodox thought in the rite. Since in the rites of the same faith the teaching is one with the Great Russian Church, it follows that there is no essential difference in the rites either. Eg. in the Great Russian Church, Mass is served on five prosphora, in the Edinoverie - on seven. But in both the one and the other, one bread is used for the sacrament of the Eucharist, from which St. Lamb: “We all partake of the one bread,” says St. Apostle Paul. And there are not only five or seven, - you can bring ten, twenty or more prosphora. In the Joseph's service book, in the rank of proskomedia, it is noted about the sixth prosphora: "if the monastery, the priest receives the sixth prosphora." Doesn't this prove that in the parish churches and under Patriarch Joseph, they served at five. There was no dispute. Or another rite: in the Orthodox Church near the font at baptism, at marriage near the lectern, they walk against the sun; in the united faith church by the sun. Whom do the Orthodox mean by the name of the sun? - The righteous sun - Christ. Who are fellow believers? - The same Christ! Orthodox, walking against the sun, go to Christ; fellow believers, walking in the sun, walk in Christ. One thought; visibility difference. You also have to think about other things. It turns out: the Great Russian and Edinoverie churches are one church.
Hoping for the grace of God, we hope for the Old Believers to join the common faith. May the Lord help us arrange St. temple, and good people would support our school ....
The teacher of the Shuya co-religious school Iv. Uspensky.

Separate buildings have survived - a one-story monastery bath (used for its intended purpose), a two-story red-brick refectory with a porch and decor in pseudo-Russian style (1888), a fragment of the monastery wall.

All Saints Edinoverie Convent

It was located behind the Rogozhskaya outpost along the Vladimir highway (now the Enthusiasts highway, the territory of the Hammer and Sickle factory), founded on the Newly Blessed Edinoverie cemetery in 1862 in memory of the liberation of the peasants from serfdom. Completely arranged in 1866.

It was located on the Vladimir road, one kilometer north of the Old Believer Rogozhsky village.

The first trustees were V.A. Sapelkin and N.I. Rodionov. By 1907 there were 32 nuns with the abbess and 24 novices in the monastery.

In 1864 the monastery and the cemetery were surrounded by a fence with gates. In 1873-1876, according to the design of the architect N. A. Ipatiev (1839-1890), the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was built, two-story, with a refectory. In 1884, N. A. Ipatiev rebuilt the monastery fence.

By 1917, on the territory of the monastery were:
St. Nicholas Church (with the upper Pokrovsky aisle, founded in 1873, currently devoid of signs of a temple - the only surviving building).
Cathedral Church of All Saints with a bell tower (architect P.V. Burenin / P.P. Burenin (1810-?); founded in 1840, broken in 1934).
cemetery chapel (demolished in 1934).

In 1918, the authorities offered the nuns to vacate the premises. In 1922, the monastery was closed, later its territory was included in the Hammer and Sickle factory (former Guzhona), the temples were broken in 1934.

The only surviving building is the St. Nicholas Church founded in 1873 with the upper Pokrovsky aisle (Shosse Entuziastov, 7). Currently mutilated and devoid of signs of the temple. It is located at the intersection of the Third Transport Ring and the Highway of Enthusiasts. Nikolskaya Church was privatized in the early 1990s and is used as an office building. The leadership of CJSC "Sim Trade", which owns several church buildings on the territory of the Moscow plant "Sickle and Hammer", refuses to let its rector into the church and negotiate with the Russian Orthodox Church about the transfer of buildings. (accessed June 6, 2007).

2007 - the other day, the organization's security refused to let its rector, priest Alexander Abramov, on the threshold of the church of St. Nicholas located on the territory of the plant. Nevertheless, the community of the temple served a prayer service for the return of the temple to the Church right on the roadway of the Enthusiasts Highway. It was decided to hold such prayers every Saturday. Believers in many metropolitan parishes have already expressed their support for the St. Nicholas community.

Since 1991, orders were issued by the President of the Russian Federation and the Government of Moscow on the return of the premises of the temple and the adjacent buildings of the Church. However, the current owners of the buildings refuse to do so. In response to an appeal from Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia, the owners of CJSC "Sim Trade" stated that "the issue was rejected from further consideration due to a fundamental disagreement with the transfer of the building."

Meanwhile, the Department of Property of Moscow claims that the St. Nicholas Church was privatized in the early 1990s in accordance with the legislation in force at that time, and the current owner is a bona fide purchaser of the temple.

"The owner did not agree to the transfer of this building on any terms. Here, in general, is the history of this issue. Unfortunately, this problem has not been resolved to date," Natalia Serbinova, deputy head of the department, said in an interview with Ren-TV. Currently, about a dozen commercial enterprises are sub-tenants of the former church premises.

1. Moscow. Church of All Saints at Edinoverchesky cemetery. Bichebois lithograph. 1840s

The fate of this long-vanished Moscow monastery is interesting. Information about her is short and fragmentary, the main of them are concentrated in Palamarchuk's book "Forty Magpies". Let's try to at least briefly trace the history of this complex.
The monastery was located on the Vladimir road immediately after leaving the city through the Rogozhskaya Zastava. Having passed the village of Novaya Andronovka, the traveler saw on the left, near the road itself, a small but solid complex of buildings: a brick fence with gates and decorative turrets in the corners, in the depths two churches built in the Russian style, and a bell tower.
The pictures are enlarged.

The newly blessed cemetery was built in 1840. These places were then still deserted. To the north, a wasteland stretched to the Prolomnaya Zastava, from the northeast the Annenhof grove began, to the south, across the road, in some distance, the buildings of the Rogozhsky cemetery were visible.

Then, according to the project of arch. P.P. Burenin began to build the Cathedral of All Saints and the bell tower (1840-43). One of the founders of the Russian national style in architecture, architect. Burenin (1810-?) was firmly forgotten during his lifetime. He built bell towers and churches, none of his buildings survived in Moscow (only the chapel of the Vladimir Church in Mytishchi, 1832). Church of the Newly Blessed Cemetery. - an early example of the national style that was only then in vogue. Let us recall the Tonovsky bell tower of Simonov Mon-rya, built almost simultaneously (project 1838).


2. Edinoverie All Saints Monastery behind Prolomnaya Zastava. Photo from Naydenov's album. 1883.

That's what's amazing. The All Saints Monastery "in memory of the liberation of the peasants from serfdom" was founded only in 1862, i.e. 20 years after the construction of the temple complex. Who was the customer of the church? In their appearance, they differed from the Moscow cemetery churches.

Bishbois's lithography (Fig. 1) refers to the early years of the cemetery's existence. The drawing is oriented to the south, some emptiness around is noticeable, against this background the cathedral and the bell tower look especially impressive. Here we already see a gate with a small section of the fence. At the right edge you can see a small piece of some capital building on a high basement, with narrow windows and decorative facade processing. Here's another riddle. The second church of the monastery, Nikolskaya, according to the documents, was built only in 1873, but the lithograph cannot be attributed to the 70s. What is depicted on it?

In 1864 the monastery and the cemetery were surrounded by a fence with gates. At the same time, the cemetery did not occupy the entire territory, but only the northwestern part. The next stage of stone construction falls on the 70s. In 1873-76, according to the project of arch. ON THE. Ipatiev (1839-1890) the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was built, two-story, with a refectory. She was placed close to the fence, to the left of the gate. During these years, stone cells could also be erected, also placed along the southern wall. In 1884, Ipatiev rebuilt the fence as we see it in the photographs.

A photograph from Naydenov's album (Fig. 2) shows us a fully formed monastery complex. The picture was taken from the south from some distance, the view around is still quite rural. Vladimirka, although it passes under the very walls of the monastery, is not visible from this point.
Soon, the places around began to be intensively built up (Fig. 3,4). Not far away, at the back of Novaya Andronovka, there is a Gujon plant. Directly under the walls of the monastery, rounding it in a smooth arc, there was a railway line to the state warehouse No. 1 (modern plant "Crystal"). Right behind the embankment are Nobel's oil depots. Car repair shops of the M.-Kursk railway appeared to the south-west across the highway. (modern plant named after Voitovich). The Annenhof grove did not survive the hurricane of 1904 and was completely cut down.

Residential buildings were also built. A small settlement appeared near the monastery. A street ran along the western wall to Prolomnaya Zastava, on the other side of the highway to the Rogozhsky cemetery, a small residential village was formed between the Old Believer and Shepelyuginskaya streets. In the future, however, the industrial specialization of the region took over.


5. All Saints Monastery on sh. Enthusiasts. Photo from the early 20s

The monastery was closed in 1922, two years later its construction was given over to housing. On the rare photo(fig.5) we see the monastery in last years his existence. The picture can be dated after the age of 23, when at w. Enthusiasts organized a tram line to the Gorbaty Bridge. In 28, it was continued to the Dangauer settlement, where at that time the construction of a workers' settlement began.

The monastery was destroyed in 1934 during the reconstruction of the "Hammer and Sickle" plant (former Guzhona). In its place, an electric steel-smelting shop was built. Surprisingly, some buildings still survived to this day! Until the end of the 70s, a section of the fence was preserved at the corner of sh. Enthusiasts and Prolomnaya st. Now, in a rebuilt form, there is Nikolskaya Ts. and the former building of cells (highway Enthusiasts, 7). In the late 90s, a congress to the TTK was arranged right under their walls.

As you can see, during its existence the monastery experienced all the delights of its "roadside" location in the very vicinity of a huge city. The fate of its closest neighbor, the famous Rogozhsky cemetery, was more successful. But that's a topic for another post.
