The Church of the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God at the Olshan cemetery

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church, it was erected in 1925 on the territory of the Olshan cemetery in the Zhizhkov area. After the construction of the temple, the remains of forty-five Russian officers who died near Dresden in 1813 were transferred here. Olshan cemetery was replenished thanks to immigrants from Russia.

In the basement is the crypt of Hagia Sophia, as well as the remains of the founders of the temple and other famous people. In the temple there are services for Orthodox parishioners. In 1995, a plaque was installed on the facade of the temple in memory of the migrants repressed by the NKVD.
