We came to see the Temple in a city that was not too big and were pleasantly surprised.
The first is a large area in front of the temple with good coverage. This already puts us in a good mood. It can be seen that the entire Temple complex is new, in good, well-maintained condition.
A neat white fence, and Christian beliefs written on it in red letters.
Behind the fence is a beautiful new wooden church building. As we learned, this is the first temple in Novosokolniki to be built anew. Its construction began under Metropolitan Vladimir (Kotlyarov) in 1991, the father of the current rector, priest Alexy Ilnitsky. Construction was completed in 1996.
The temple is highly revered by the residents of Novosokolniki.
We come closer to the gate and with pleasure we can admire the picturesque design of the territory. The real “Little Paradise”, they say, is what many people call the local Temple. The area has been landscaped with great love. Beautiful plants, a lot of greenery and flowers.
In summer there is a fountain. Inside the fence is the grave of artillery general Chagin, who headed the commissions for the production of weapons under the tsarist government.As the rector, Archpriest John Ilnitsky, tells us: usually there are 70-80 people standing in the church at the Liturgy. We serve on Saturday, Sunday, holidays, the church is open every day.”
The temple has a beautiful carved icon of St. Nicholas, the temple itself is also made of wood, it was carved by the servant of God Victor, he carved this icon and soon became a priest, serving in the Ascension Cathedral of Great Luke. All the people helped build the temple and decorate it, there were no special donors, but there was a community, people from Nevel, from Velikiye Luki helped, the regional authorities helped a lot. People named Nikolai continue to help the temple. The temple was consecrated by His Eminence the Bishop in 1996 in honor of the Saint, and I believe that Saint Nicholas is the master here. All the icons in the iconostasis are painted, the icon of St. Nicholas was bought from the owners, I dreamed of an icon of the Kazan Mother of God, like in Velikiye Luki, where I was ordained in the Church of the Kazan Mother of God, and they gave it to us, we restored the image, and people receive great help from it - popular rumor conveys this. Seven icons were given to us from the Pskov Museum-Reserve.”
There is a Sunday school in the parish, and in May at the Novosokolnikov secondary school every year a conference is held on the spiritual and moral education of our children, it is held by the rector together with the parishioners, the district education department, and the school.
It’s a pity that we weren’t able to get into the Temple. Therefore, our acquaintance with the Church of St. Nicholas remained only visual. The rest we read on the Internet. And we moved on...

Monument to the railway worker
Top
On May 7, 2015, at the Novosokolniki station of the Oktyabrskaya Mainline, the grand opening of a new monument dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 took place. It complemented the memorial composition, which is a place of memory of the railway heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
The architects are Velikiye Luki artists Tatyana and Vladimir Orzhekhovsky. The prototype of the monument is the oldest worker of the track complex - enterprise veteran Alexander Evdokimovich Orlov. The history of the Orlov family dynasty goes back four generations.
The monument represents a symbolic figure of a track worker - a track fitter who walked hundreds of kilometers on sleepers, tightened countless bolts and nuts, and hammered tons of crutches. There is a traffic light next to it, which always lights up green. The main idea of the sculpture is both to increase the status of the working profession, and that the railway functions when movers, drivers, carriage workers and electric mechanics work shoulder to shoulder with the railway workers, thanks to teamwork you can see the results. And the green light speaks that the railway tracks are always open.
The idea of the monument belongs to the head of the Novosokolnicheskaya railway distance, Artur Barievich Bagautdinov; it originated with him when he was working as a railway lineman. Then he promised himself that when he became a boss, he would definitely erect a monument to the railway worker. The dream came true thanks to the leadership of Russian Railways, the administration of the Novosokolnichesky district, and entrepreneurs.
After the opening of the monument, the laying of a capsule for the future generation and the hammering of the “golden” crutch also took place.
