Gorushka

The ongoing story of the restoration of the Church of the Kazan Mother of God in the village of Gorushka, which was badly damaged during the years of Soviet rule.

At the beginning of the 17th century the inhabitants of the village managed to gather and repel the attack of a detachment of Poles led by Lzhedmitri II, but later the Poles returned and brutally killed the entire population of the village.

Just before the revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, a large church was built in the center of the village of Gorushka, under which a nunnery was organized. In Soviet times the temple was a club, a shop and a warehouse. Then it was completely abandoned and actively destroyed. Today the convent has been restored, 5 nuns live in it. Around the monastery there is a settlement, which was rebuilt after the war with the Poles. Life in and around the monastery runs in two parallel streams.
