Verhne-Spaso-Preobrazhensky monastery

Italy

Upper Saviour–Transfiguration Monastery (later known as Upper Dormition Edinoverie Monastery for Men; Russian: Верхний Спасо-Преображенский монастырь) was from the 18th to the early 20th century an Old Believer (later Edinoverie) male monastery, close to the town of Nikolayevsk (now Pugachyov) in Sa

ratov Oblast. It was founded as an Old Believer monastery, and soon became an all-Russian spiritual centre of the Old Believer movement, possessing wealth comparable to the largest Orthodox monasteries. Among the Irgiz monasteries, it maintained its independence the longest, but in 1841 was converted to Edinoverie. In that capacity it continued to operate until the establishment of Soviet power in the region, after which it was closed.
