The head of the Tambov region visited Old Olshanka in the Uvarov district

November 11, Evgeny Pervyshov with a working trip visited the Uvarov district. In the village of Staraya Olshanka, he examined the pond, the Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the Museum “Russian Estate”.

Olshansky pond - an ancient man-made pond with a brick bottom - feeds moisture oak piles on which the temple stands. On behalf of the head of the region, the pond was cleared in a month and deepened to three meters to protect the foundation of the building.

The temple is an object of cultural heritage of regional importance, since the 2010s restoration work has been carried out here. Rector Yaroslav Kravchenko appealed to Pervyshov for assistance in updating the project documentation for restoration. The head of the region instructed to consider the inclusion of the temple in the restoration plan of historical buildings.

“We will plan a complex of works on the restoration of the temple as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Tambov governorship and help with the preservation of 204-year-old ash,” Pervyshov said.

He also got acquainted with the exposition of the museum “Russian Estate”, where household items, belongings of the noblemen of the Voeikov-Polenov and copies of paintings by Vasily Polenov are stored. In 2025, the museum became the winner of the regional competition in the nomination “Best Museum”.
