Moscow. August 20. INTERFAX – According to preliminary estimates, the restoration of the Dormition Church, which burned down in Kondopoga on August 10, will take about 100 million rubles and 10 millions for the development of project-estimate documentation, press-service of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation told reporters on Monday.

“Specialists of the North-Western Directorate for Construction, Reconstruction and Restoration of the Ministry of Culture conducted an inspection of the church’s structures. According to their report, 10% of the frame was preserved, the rest of the design of the church was lost completely. In this regard, the exact amount needed for the reconstruction of the monument can be determined only after the development of design documentation,” the press service stated.

Earlier it was reported that the fire destroyed 95% of the Dormition Church in Kondopoga, but there is a possibility to reconstruct it.

The local parish and the museum bear the responsibility for the safety of the burnt church.

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.
