The city of Karakol (meaning black wrist) in Kyrgyzstan was founded on 1 July 1869 by the Russians. It was called Przewalsk, after the russian explorer Nikolai Przewalski, who died here and is buried nearby. The cathedral was built in 1895, but in Bolshevik times, the church lost its domes and became a club in the 1930s. Services are held here again now.
