St. Nicholas Cossack Cathedral

The St. Nicholas Cossack Cathedral is the most seasoned church in Omsk, Siberia. It was worked in 1843 to Neoclassical outlines by Vasily Stasov. For quite a while, clergymen of the house of God have kept the flag of Yermak Timofeyevich, the Cossack Ataman who vanquished Siberia. In 1929 to communists arrange a silver screen was housed in the building, and it was thusly made into a show corridor. In the mid 1990s, divine administrations continued in the church building.

The establishing of the framework stone of the sanctuary occurred on May 15, 1833. May 26– 27, 1840 Archpriest Dmitry Ponomarev sanctified two positions of royalty of a warm church, for the sake of George the Victorious and Simeon the God-beneficiary and Anna the Prophetess. The fundamental sacrificial stone was blessed on September 16, 1843. Gifts of Siberian Cossack troops and Omsk nationals framed the money related premise of the development.

The Cathedral is block, one-story, and has a type of a "ship". There is the hemispherical vault on a barrel shaped drum with round-headed windows over the driven sanctuary with Doric colonnades. The Apse is rectangular. Over the refectory, which has three windows on the north side and three on the south, there is a double slant rooftop. The Cathedral has couple of domes - on the arch, over the sacrificial stone and on the chime tower. The crosses are eight-pointed.
