About	Church of Vladimir Divine Mother (of ca. 1680). After 1917 was closed. Because monastery is sutuated just near the "The extreme commission (EC) on struggle with contrrevolution and gangsterism" (KGB) it suffered were strong. There was a hostel for employees of EC here, 2 churches were destroyed. In 1919-1925 a large number of peoples (who believes by EC as enemies of Soviet Republic) were killed (shooted) and burried here. Monastery was renewed in 1994 only.
