In the 1920s, the small church of All Russian Saints was established. It was in the apartment of Academician I.I. Sreznevsky. Academician B.A. Turaev proposed this idea some years prior. An iconostasis was created for it. It was taken from a closed church. This hospital was number 166.
Vladimir Lozina-Lozinsky became the pastor of \u0412\u0441\u0435\u0441\u0432\u044f\u0442\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f \u0446\u0435\u0440\u043a\u043e\u0432\u044c in 1921. He faced repression. He was executed in 1937. The church honors him as a holy martyr.
Today \u0412\u0441\u0435\u0441\u0432\u044f\u0442\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f \u0446\u0435\u0440\u043a\u043e\u0432\u044c stands. It is a testament to faith and remembrance. It connects us to a difficult time in Russian history. It also honors those who remained steadfast in their beliefs. Take a moment to reflect on the stories and the enduring spirit.
