The "church" in Robert Broadie's photo is actually a chapel (часовия), erected in 2002 despite efforts by the local Communist Party  to block its construction.  Why?  It's on the site of a former fountain directly opposite the city's statue of Lenin who, standing on his pedestal with hands behind his back, is leaning forward looking toward the future.  We can be sure that the chapel wasn't the sort of future Lenin (or the designer of the statue) had in mind. The Orthodox Church, by the way, countered the CP's opposition by petitioning for the demolition of the statue.
