In 1937, Kosmodamianskaya church was closed, and all because it was used for other purposes, but rather, as a prison. After the Second World War took place, the church was used as a hardware store and a garage. Only in 1992 the church came into the possession of the Kaluga diocese and had already started a massive and slow recovery. Now the church is working as before and is a major attraction in the city.

In general, we can only say that the place is very beautiful and spiritual, especially if they were able to survive the war and come back again to us.
