About the book: 2008 / We present to your attention a brief history of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Kotelniki beyond the Yauza and the immediate surroundings, outlined on based on information found in the archives of Moscow and the Moscow region. The Moscow Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Kotelniki beyond the Yauza is located in the oldest historical place in Moscow - at the foot of the Shviva Hill of Tagan Hill. The ancient settlement of Zayauzye (Taganka) was formed, presumably, in the pre-Christian period, due to the favorable geographical position of this area. In the Christian period, a huge number of ancient churches arose around the Tagansk trading platform, bearing their names after the names of saints who became famous at the very beginning of the formation of the Christian faith. Kotelnicheskiye Lanes, according to the now widespread version, got their name from the palace settlement of Kotelnik workers who made cauldrons for cooking food that was located here in the 17th century. These places are associated with boilermakers, potters and blacksmiths - artisans who dealt with open fire, so they located their production along the banks of the Moscow River. Before the establishment of the Church of St. Nicholas, in Kotelniki, in its place there was a wooden Trinity Church, called - in Starye Kuznetsy, built in 1547. In the collection published by the Society of Lovers of Spiritual Enlightenment on the occasion of the centenary anniversary of the birth of Philaret, Metropolitan of Moscow, (Volume I. M., 1883) it is written: “September 13, 1833, Prince Sergei Mikhailovich Golitsyn, in a letter to Philaret, Metropolitan He wrote to Moskovsky that Ivanovsky forty, in the parish of the Church of St. Nicholas, that in Kotelniki, from ancient times there was a house of his ancestors, the Stroganov barons, and both this church and the clergy received the main content from this house, and in addition, they maintained an almshouse , built under the bell tower; why, after death, the bodies of these barons Strogonovs were buried in this St. Nicholas Church.” Archival research, by decision of the rector of the temple, to our great regret, was not completed. Therefore, unexplored archival documents on the history of the temple are fraught with many more discoveries. Not a single book has been published about this iconic temple in its entire history. Only our team managed to produce an electronic version of a full-color multi-page booklet with a brief history of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Kotelniki beyond the Yauza River. Upon completion of the research, we can prepare the original layout of the book for printing in a printing house. This printed publication could become a bridge for bringing present-day Russia closer to the entire Russian world, beyond its borders, on all continents. This is especially true after the unification of the two branches of the Russian Orthodox Church. To implement such an urgent project, the will of the rector of the temple is necessary..
