Churches of the Domodedovo district

Story. Under the owner of the village, M. Ya. Morozov, there was a wooden church in the village in the name of Sts. mchch. Cosmas and Damian. The boyar M. Ya. Morozov was executed in 1573. In 1612, his patrimony passed to G. P. Pestov.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was built by order of the owner of the village, M. Ya. The building is built of brick, the decoration is made of hewn stone. The type and main structures of the building are made in the nature of pre-Petrine architecture. A small three-tiered bell tower partially rests on the western wall. The composition of the temple is simplified by the absence of a refectory. The drums of the domes of the church and the bell tower are processed with volutes, the openwork crosses are close in design to the end of the 17th century.

In Soviet times, the temple was closed. At present, an Orthodox community has formed at the temple. Restoration work has begun.

uzovlevo is an ancient village. According to historical evidence of the second half of the 16th century, already at that time there was a wooden temple of Cosmas and Damian in the village, and it belonged to the boyar and butler Mikhail Yakovlevich Morozov. One can only speculate about the future fate of the church, since in the documents of the 17th century. Kuzovlevo is called a village, that is, a village with a master's house, but without a church. The construction of a stone church in the village is associated with the name of General Mikhail Yakovlevich Volkov, indicated by the temple builder in the clergy's records of the 19th century. According to modern research, which found, in particular, contract records for the construction of the church, it can be argued that General M. Ya. Volkov began the construction of the church in 1734.

The place for it was chosen not far from the master's house, on the elevated right bank of the river. Rechitsa. Peasant yards were on the other side of the speech, a bridge was built between them and the church.

The foundation of the temple is made of stone, and the walls are made of brick with a white stone belt laid in the middle. In form, it was a pillarless, single-headed, two-light quadruple topped with a four-pointed iron cross with chains. The windows of the first tier were oblong, while those of the second tier were square with ornate stone architraves. Above the windows of the second tier there were carved shells, and the cornices were decorated with white-stone cladding in the form of teeth.

Inside, the church looked like a square chamber with a deaf semicircular vault resting on the walls. The altar was separated from the temple by a stone wall with spans for the royal gates and side doors. The altar platform rose two steps, and the floor was everywhere covered with bream. The four-tiered wooden iconostasis was decorated with carvings. His body was covered with silver, and the cornices with gold. Together with the temple, a three-tiered bell tower was built, on which in the 19th century. there were five bells.

In the second half of the XVIII century. the priest of the temple was Alexei Yakovlev, who was relieved of his post in 1798 “due to old age and low vision,” and at the request of the landowner and parishioner of the church, General P.I. Vertkovo. Since May 1805, Pyotr Fedorov began to serve here, to whom the owner of the village, Lieutenant-General G. A. Vasilchikov, built a house, paid 30 rubles annually, allocated 80 pounds of hay, grain and firewood. In 1812 he was awarded for distinction with a bronze cross on the Vladimir ribbon. Under this priest, the inner walls of the temple were decorated with icon-painting.

In subsequent years, there were no significant reconstructions in the church. In 1860 the iconostasis and icons were renovated, and in 1885 the dilapidated wooden porches were renovated. The oil painting of 1812 was preserved in the interior of the temple for a long time.

In addition to the village, the parish included the village of Karacharovo.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was handed over to believers recently. The work of the local community to rebuild the church was headed by Archpriest Andrey Serebryakov, appointed by the rector, rector of the church in the village of Ilyinskoye, located nearby. The parishioners of the Ilyinsky church take an active part in the restoration work of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Kuzovlevo.

The year 2015 for the Leo Tolstoy village of Kuzovlevo, in the Lipetsk region, is twice an anniversary: ​​335 years ago it was first mentioned in written sources and for 150 years the stone church of St. George the Victorious has been standing on its land. On November 16, the Kuzovlevites also celebrated the patronal feast.

Where childhood is barefoot ...

Once upon a time, for most of the Kuzullev wounded boys of the forties, combat and born a little later, the red-skinned walls of St. George's Church were a favorite place for games and adventures. More than half a century will pass, and the balding, hunched shrine will become for some of them the focus of thoughts, prayers and investments.

Kuzovlevo began to grow into the Russian land in the post-troubles 1680s. It is believed that two servicemen came here - the Tula brothers Kuzovlevs - and began to live and live and protect the Russian borders from adversaries. And they set up guards for themselves - a wooden church in the name of George the Victorious. Two hundred years later - in 1865 - the meeting of the village decided to build a new stone church with the chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Until 1935, the shrine of Kuzovlevo stood as an unquenchable Easter candle, and then it went out, swam, the tongues of the bells were cut off, and instead of praying people, grain grains rustled in its walls, grinding news from the fields, and doves cooed - symbols of the Annunciation.

The twentieth century from the birth of Christ counted the last years. And the other brothers Kuzovlevs - representatives of different branches of the Kuzovlev family tree - decided that it was time to return support to their homeland. Only a fairy tale is quickly told, but the deed, albeit more slowly, is being done: a raspberry ringing sounds throughout the district, the heavenly gates are opened with the combination locks of prayer. However, there is a lot of work ahead - to paint the internal vaults, ennoble the territory, place the village museum in one of the basements and remember by name everyone who, according to legend, was buried near the walls of the church.


There are several holidays dedicated to George the Victorious (and in Russia also to Yegoriy, plus St. George's days in autumn and spring). On November 16, the Orthodox Church commemorates the renovation of St. George's Church in Lydda. It was erected in the 4th century over the grave of the great martyr. Centuries later, the church fell into disrepair, only the altar and the tomb of the miracle worker remained intact. In the second half of the 19th century, the temple was restored at the expense of the Russian government and Orthodox benefactors. And on November 16 (November 3, according to the old style), 1872, its second consecration took place.

And in distant Kuzovlevo, by that time, services had been going on for three years (since 1869). When, in a matter of decades of the twentieth century, the Kuzulevsky temple turned into practically ruins, the government, unfortunately, did not care about it. But there were enough donors and patrons to breathe life into it again. In the mid-nineties, the former chairman of the local collective farm, Mikhail Vladimirovich Kuzovlev, was the first to start restoration work, found workers, and blocked the roof. He did not live long enough to see this holiday.


- We decided that the first thing the church needs to learn to speak again - recalls the brother of Mikhail Vladimirovich Pavel Kuzovlev, a poet. - They brought records of the bell ringing from Moscow, installed amplifiers. As soon as the bell was heard, people began to flock to the temple from every house. This picture still stands before my eyes today.

Pavel Vladimirovich said: the inhabitants of that part of Kuzovlevo, which was formerly called Kapyty, were free peasants. But the descendants of serfs settled on Samodurovka. And even despite the fact that they bear the same surname - Kuzovlev, the mentality of people is different. They even say that the chapel of Nikolai Ugodnik was attached to the St. George's Church specifically for the Samodur peasants. But these are just rumors.

Brother for brother

Who, if not a doctor, knows that a stopped heart can still be started - you just need to make every effort. But brain death is the final diagnosis, and any resuscitation manipulations here are meaningless.

When the four Kuzovlev brothers - Oleg, Valery, Sergey and Vladimir - realized that the business started by their namesakes began to slip, they took the reins of government into their own hands and plunged the first needle with saving adrenaline into the chest of their dying motherland. They gathered a new meeting of the village, talked, decided that the temple is vital, and began to act. Oleg Petrovich Kuzovlev, a world-famous doctor, now a Muscovite, took over all the main concerns about construction, the extraction of money and labor.


“A surgeon cannot succeed in his profession if he cannot do anything with his own hands, for example, drive in a nail or drill a hole,” Oleg Petrovich believes. - And we - first in the Kuzovlevskaya, and then in the fifth Leo-Tolstoy school - were taught everything at the lessons of labor education. For example, I mastered the craft of a carpenter, locksmith, florist, cabinetmaker of the fourth category, while at school we also received a driver's license. We were brought up as harmonious personalities - we sang a lot, painted - even with our own slogans and posters we went out to demonstrations on May 1 and November 7, my brothers and I also played in a brass band. Imagine what a busy life the village boys had! Kuzovlevo, this is our barefoot childhood, where we constantly return by memory, from where we take strength and emotions.


Understanding that without a church and without a school, the village simply cannot survive, the Kuzovlev brothers shouldered the care of the most, perhaps, the most important social objects of the village infrastructure. When the kindergarten building fell into disrepair, the district leadership decided to transfer the kindergarten groups to the school, but for this it was necessary to repair it. The head of the municipality, Vladimir Evgenyevich Osetrov, did everything so that on September 1 of this year, both schoolchildren and preschoolers came to a cozy and bright room, and on the eve of the patronal feast, they managed to completely close the roof. The authorities and patrons of the Kuzovlevs divided the spheres of "influence": the district administration took over the kindergarten wing and the roof, and Oleg Petrovich Kuzovlev took over the school classes, including sixteen plastic windows and entrance doors.

And taking care of the school is not just gratitude. This is a desire to invest in the future of a small homeland.


“Earlier, when I came to the village, I felt pain for its destroyed shrine. Today I am happy, but still there is some dissatisfaction, - complains Oleg Petrovich. “Building a temple is not enough, it turns out. It is necessary that spirituality return to people. Our main task is to restore the parish. We rejoice when children come to church services - this is the future of Kuzovlevo, and his temple, and all of Orthodox Russia.


The warm part of St. George's Church has been restored - hands have not yet reached the chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Icon painters are already starting to work. Oleg Kuzovlev found them in Dimitrov near Moscow in the monastery of the holy brothers Boris and Gleb. Such is the brotherly fate of Kuzovlevo. Complicating the restoration work is that there are no photographs, no drawings, no descriptions of both the temple building itself and its interior decoration. Therefore, the church is, as it were, being built anew.


Oleg Petrovich said that people of seven nationalities from different parts of our country worked on the restoration work. But in his native village there was not a single pair of hands that would be useful in construction - there were no finishing specialists, masons, and tilers left in Kuzovlevo.

Promised land

Today Kuzovlevo is part of the Pervomaisky rural settlement of the Lev-Tolstovsky municipal district. 827 people live here, half of them are pensioners. Previously, there were two large collective farms on these lands, in which the locals worked. Today, you have to look for work in the district center, in Lebedyan, if you are closer, you can get a job in four farms and a pig farm.


“Today there are ten temples and four chapels in the region. We are trying to revive our shrines, mainly, of course, due to the enthusiasm of the people themselves who want to do good. But I am worried about the following: will all our parishes remain in ten years, will there be anyone to pray in the restored churches, - the head of the municipality, Vladimir Osetrov, shared his fears. – We need to provide jobs to rural people in order to stop the outflow of the rural population, and open Sunday schools everywhere. This is necessary so that children from an early age are at home in the church, know their faith, and become churched. They must understand from birth that we are Orthodox people! Recently I visited a service in the church of the village of Pervomayskoye - there are six grandmothers. And that's it! If there is no parish, then the temple is difficult to maintain even from an economic point of view. I hope that the St. George's Church in Kuzovlevo will have a different fate.

Valentina Alexandrovna Maltseva, nee Kuzovleva, also hopes for the same. She was born on the eve of the war, by that time the church had already been turned into a warehouse. He remembers that in the village then there was talk about Komsomol members who were dumping crosses from the domes. One of them was seriously wounded at the front, but lived to a ripe old age.


“Our Kuzovlevo with the temple has begun to live a real life,” Valentina Alexandrovna rejoices. – When work began here, the soul rejoiced. We came to the church, cleared the garbage, then washed the floors, everyone who wanted to did the hard work. And Antonina Andreevna and I managed to collect money from the village for two large candlesticks - over there, they are burning with fire ahead.

Quiet Quiet Don

The parishioners of St. George's Church are also a few residents of the neighboring village of Tikhiy Don. Valery Yakovlevich Terekhov, a local historian, compiler of a dictionary of local sayings and expressions, said that after the war 240 people lived in the village, but today there are only twenty houses in which only nine old-timers spend the winter. Probably, in good weather, the wind will carry the church chimes there, but so - the Quiet Don has become absolutely quiet.

“People began to settle in these places since 1923, they came from the Lebedyan villages of Romanovo and Olkhovets,” Valery Yakovlevich readily responds to a request to acquaint him with the history of his homeland. “Earlier, before the revolution, there was the land of the lady Margarita Vagina here - her estate stood exactly on the site of the future village. An amazing lilac grew around the manor house, it survived until the middle of the last century, and as a child I always admired its color. Then the lilac went wild. They say that the landowner had a dissolute husband, Vasily. There were good memories of the mistress herself in the district, someone said that after the revolution she begged in neighboring villages, someone saw how she worked in a pharmacy. Handy people lived in the Quiet Don, artisans, especially in wood and metal, there were many blacksmiths and beekeepers. But when the Soviet authorities began to fight the kulaks, the people rushed to leave for other regions in order to avoid arrests.


“The holy fathers taught that the church is a ship sailing on the sea of ​​life,” says the rector of the Church of St. George the Victorious, Archpriest Michael (Belenikin). - Without God's help, the person himself will drown in the depths of the sea, and those who are on the ship will find salvation. The Orthodox Church is the Church of the living, therefore we pray for those who are close to us, and for those who have gone to another world - God does not have the dead. Therefore, everyone needs this temple - both those who are and those who are not.

The villagers have a dream - to revive the oak grove in Kuzovlevo. They say that when the oak grove stood, springs gushed in the area, filling the river Ryasu, a shallow, narrow - a children's outlet. As the trees were cut down, the water left. The third of the Kuzovlev brothers - Vladimir Petrovich - remembers those mighty giants. They stand like sentries to his memory.

Here the inhabitants of the surrounding villages and towns will lay their paths to the temple, and then people will go along them, looking for home shelter and heavenly cover, and the surrounding land will be filled with them. The lilac will bloom again in the Quiet Don, the builders in Kuzovlevo will pound with hammers, the memory of the current watchmen will be replaced.
