#### Михайловская церковь

Однажды я зобрался колекционize новые фотографии дедушки’s old house, и в процессе эти I discovered a completely new photo of the Михайловская церквь that I had never seen before. This finding gave me the opportunity to reflect on this church and its history.

Previously, I only had one photo of the Михайловса церкgy – a traditional one, which had been used in all publications regarding this temple. It was an official image, provided by the authorities at the time. The authorities also specified that this was the only authorized image available for use in any publications related to this church.<>
<>Now, thanks to this new discovery, I have two photos of this church – one traditional and one new one. Both photos were taken from almost the same perspective, using the same shooting location as the original photo. The location of the shooting site is on Нетеченская улице.
<><>To confirm this, I compared the new photo with the “traditional” one. By doing so, I confirmed that the churches in both pictures are indeed the same church. It’s interesting to note that despite the similarities in their appearance, these two photos provide different perspectives of the same building.
<><>Some information about the history of this church can be found in an article by V.I. Pushkarь. “Archangel Michael Church (1663–1961)” // “Cultural Heritage of the Slobozhanshchina: Collection of Scientific-Popular Articles” – Kharkiv, 2011. Volume 25, pages 218-222.
<><>The Archangel Michael Church was originally located outside the city walls, in a settlement called Nemyshlyanskaya Sloboda. The first wooden church here was built in 1663.
<><>Peter the Great prayed in this church on his way to Poltava, asking for God’s help in granting Russia a victory over its enemy瑞典. During the second day after the Battle of Poltava, a messenger sent by Peter the Great arrived at this church and announced the great victory achieved by the Russian army and the entire Russian people.

The stone church was constructed according to the designs of architect P.A. Yaroslavsky. The foundation was laid in 1783, and the stone bell tower was completed in 1916. The construction of the bell tower was carried out under the direction of architects E.A. Vasilev and S.T. Chernyshev.
<><>The church underwent renovations and expansions in 1841, 1852, 1855, and 1859, with additional chapels added on the eastern and western sides. The final reconstruction took place in 1902.
<><>The church continued to operate until 1931. That year, the Kharkov City Council decided to close it and transfer its premises to the OSOAVIAHIM organization.
