A bust of Emperor Nicholas II was opened at the entrance to the Church of the Ascension of the Lord in the city of Kalach, Voronezh region. According to local historian Pavel Popov, this is the only monument to the Emperor in the region. The monument was consecrated by the rector of the church, Archpriest Eugene Bey. The territory of the temple, built in 1776, is adjacent to the city market. It's always crowded here. In addition to the monument, the priest consecrated a granite icon "Passion-bearer of the Royal Family", which will later be fixed near the monument.
