March 18, 2017 – It has become known that the authorities of Krasnoyarsk intend to demolish the Orthodox temple consecrated to the Three Holy Hierarchs in order to widen the Sverdlovsk Street in the center of the city. The cathedral was built in 1890, almost 130 years ago.

Parishioners and local residents are protesting the demolition of the church. The city authorities have declared that they will not touch the church for the next three years, but then stated that the widening of the street without demolishing the church will be impossible.
