Ancient Church Ruins
On the border of Tatarstan and the Orenburg region, the former village of Lukinka is lost in the fields. Now there is nothing left of the village, the fact that it existed is only reminiscent of the skeleton of an ancient church. It was called the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. Built in 1821. It turns out to her for more than two centuries. A fresco has been preserved in the temple, but what is depicted on it can no longer be made out ... There are also many brought icons inside. Moreover, the icons are somewhat unusual, similar to those that the inhabitants of the rural outback keep at home.

There is a hole in the vault of the main dome. It's amazing that the building stood for two hundred years, but the destruction is minimal.
