In Krasny Sulin, they want to perpetuate the memory of the Don Cossacks who defended the Don, as well as those who suffered from decossackization. So far, only a model has been made, and the money for the production will come from extra-budgetary sources. The monument already has a name - "Glory, Cossack Sulin!"
- The new element of urban architecture is a sculptural composition, where the oldest Cossacks are in the foreground, followed by the younger representatives of the Cossacks. Behind them there is a cross of St. George with the outline of the temple of Alexander Nevsky, which once stood on the Suli land, the press service of the government of the Rostov region reports.
The temple was built in 1900 for the workers of the local plant and residents of five nearby settlements, at the expense of the owner of the Sulinsky metallurgical plant Nikolai Petrovich Pastukhov. He rented land, and after the end of the term he decided to give the temple to the ownership of the Don Army.
It took two years to erect a stone building that could accommodate a thousand people. After the consecration of the Alexander Nevsky Church, the philanthropist continued to allocate money for the maintenance of the clergy, and nearby he built a parish school for children whose parents worked at his factory.
Services in the temple continued until the 20s of the XX century, and then it was closed. The building was dilapidated and was finally destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, when a bomb fell on the roof and exploded. The local residents did not restore anything, and soon the church was completely dismantled. Small buildings have survived to this day, which are now located on the territory of school №4.
