Background

In 2007 Father Andrei (Gusev), incumbent of the village church, found a burial of clergy who were executed in the 1920s near Volchanka. In five common graves lay the remains of 18 bodies bearing the signs of violent death. They were reburied on 16 September that year in the village Park of Victory and an Orthodox cross was placed on the new common grave.

In 2012 the foundation stone of the future Church of St Sergei Radonezh was consecrated nearby.
