The St. Nicholas Cossack Cathedral is the oldest church in Omsk, Siberia. It was built in 1843 to Neoclassical designs by Vasily Stasov. For a long time, ministers of the cathedral have kept the banner of Yermak Timofeyevich, the Cossack Ataman who conquered Siberia. In 1929, by order of the communists, a cinema was housed in the building. It was subsequently made into a concert hall. In the early 1990s, divine services resumed in the cathedral. The laying of the foundation stone of the temple took place on May 15, 1833. May 26–27, 1840 Archpriest Dmitry Ponomarev consecrated two thrones of a warm church, in the name of George the Victorious and Simeon the God-receiver and Anna the Prophetess. The main altar was consecrated on September 16, 1843. Donations of Siberian Cossack troops and Omsk citizens formed the financial basis of the construction. More information...
