After all revolutions, world wars and the Soviet period, the church was handed over to the local patriarchy. In 1993 it was decided to restore, restoring, after several decades of misuse. As a consequence, it has been completely redesigned architecture of the legendary churches, as well as its interior decor and all the spectacular beauty of the exterior.
