[Old Believers Edinoverie Russian Orthodox]

The church was built from 1920-38. It served the Edinoverie members of Old Believers, the group known as Old-Ritualists, Co-Religionists or Common Faith. This group was recognized by the official Russian Orthodox Church and allowed to use the old rites. The church was closed in 1931. After some modifications in 1934 it has been home to the Museum of the Arctic and the Antarctic.
