"Savior on Waters"
The temple "Savior on Waters" was built in 1911 in memory of the sailors who died in the Tsushima battle of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. This battle, which took place on May 14-15, 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, became the most tragic page in the history of the Russian fleet. The white-stone church stood at the end of the Promenade des Anglais, not far from the shipyards where the Russian fleet ships were born. Over time, the temple became a monument to all sailors who died at sea for Russia.
Unfortunately, in 1932, the Savior on Waters was barbarously blown up. The entire bottom of the Novo-Admiralty Canal in the place where the temple stood was littered with fragments of the mosaics of the temple.
Now the committee for the restoration of the temple "Savior on Waters" is working hard to revive it. The matter is, unfortunately, not close - now the production building of the Admiralty Shipyards is on the part of the foundation of the temple. Therefore, although at one time the church did not have a chapel, the committee decided first, as a forerunner of the revival of the temple, to build a chapel, which will later be organically combined with the revived temple.
