Village of Nikolskoye
Orthodox Church was opened in Russia’s easternmost territory on Bering Island off the Kamchatka Peninsula, local authorities said on Tuesday.
The new wooden church was delivered on the remote island by sea and assembled in the village of Nikolskoye, a home to some 800 people.
The first church was built on Bering Island, the largest of the Commander Islands, in the early 1800s. After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the church first served as a local club and then a hostel before it was destroyed by fire in 1983.

Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
