Malaya Kudara

On July 10, 1826, the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin was consecrated in Malaya Kudara.^[3] The construction of the church was partially financed by the Kyakhta merchant Nikolai Matveevich Igumnov, who donated three bells. In 1859, the Kyakhta first-guild merchant Ya. A. Nemchinov donated a bell weighing 13 poods (213 kg). The church was wooden, one-story, 9 sazhen (16,5 m) long and 3.5 sazhen (6,4 m) wide.^[4]

On January 1, 1886, a parochial school was opened.^[5]

Malaya Kudara is located 114 km southeast of Kyakhta (the district's administrative centre) by road. Ulady is the nearest rural locality.^[6]
