During restoration work in the Transfiguration Cathedral of the city of Perm, the grave of the Perm Governor Ilya Vasilyevich Koltovsky was found. The burial is located in the basement of the church and is a crypt, over which a cast-iron slab is placed. After clearing the tombstone, employees of the Bishop's Quarter Museum deciphered the epitaph, thanks to which it was possible to establish the identity of the buried person.
