Tula 2007
The building of the People's House, which now houses the Young People's Theatre, is famous for being the place where the Soviet regime was proclaimed in Tula and the province on December 7, 1917. Much more interesting is the fate of the Church of the Prophet Elijah, which we see in the background of the old photo. The wooden church existed on this place as early as 1627. In 1755 a two-storey stone church was built. It was the Cathedral of Tula from 1924 to 1943. The building was taken away from the church for workshops. At present the church has been returned to the faithful.
