Iconostasis of Assumption Church of Nerchinsk As the Major Element of the Church
The documents found by the author in stocks of the Record Office of Zabaykalsky Kray, allowed to reconstruct historically truly the form of the lost iconostasis of the beginning of the 18th century Nerchinsk monastic Church of the Assumption. Based on archival information it became possible to represent the full list of icons and their arrangement in rites of an iconostasis corresponding to that historical era. The author managed to describe in detail not only the furniture of the most venerated icons of a local rite, but also all the interior of the ancient temple. Proceeding from the existing interconnection between the exterior and interior of the church, the point of view on architectural style of the unique historical and architectural monument of Zabaykalsky Kray is proved.
