Chapel of Alexander Nevsky
In 2008 in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Rostov region, under an initiative of Abbot Svyato-Troytskovo parish (archpriest Timofey Fetisov), a memorial chapel was built on the Mariupol Cemetery, and dedicated to Alexander Nevsky.
The Chapel of Saint Warrior-Prince Alexander Nevsky is 15 metres high and is located near the graves of Soviet soldiers and officers[1] on the Walk of Fame. There is a memorial wall with a list of the divisions that liberated Taganrog.[2] Every day, funeral services and requiems for deceased are offered in the chapel, as well as readings from the Psalter.
