On projects for the construction of a memorial church and chapel on Kashtak. A project for a chapel proposed to be built at the intersection of Ilmer Street and Mira Avenue is presented.
"It would be good to put a church at the crossroads - although a place on the southern edge of the park, at the entrance to Kashtak, would also be suitable, so that the domes could be seen from afar. Well, and around the church-monument in the future it would be possible to expand the memorial complex - for example, to put slabs with the names of the repressed. <...> I would like to believe that already this year an account for donations for the church will be opened, the foundation stone will be consecrated and the foundation will be laid. According to Orthodox tradition, the initiators of the construction themselves also suggested the name of the future church. Very symbolic, kind and beautiful - in the name of the Angel of Good Silence."
