Guide to Moscow Streets

Bryusov pereulok is remarkable for its red and white Church of the Resurrection of Slovuschy on Uspensky Vrazhek, which was built in the first half of the 17th century. This church is one of the few ones not closed during the Soviet period; it has retained its original interiors.

There are two Churches of the Ascension here standing nearby. The oldest one, known as “The Little Ascension”, stands on the intersection of Bolshaya Nikitskaya and Voznesensky pereulok. Entering ploschad Nikitskikh vorot you can see the second, designed in the late Empire style and unofficially called “The Great Ascension” (No. 36). It was built according to Prince Potemkin’s (one of Catherine the Great’s favourites) testament and served for the soldiers of the Preobrazhensky regiment. Many victorious Russian warriors were read the burial services here. The temple was closed in 1931 and it wasn’t destroyed only in commemoration of Pushkin, who had got married here, but the entire interior was wrecked and many icons were burnt.
