It is noted that the history of the creation of the worship cross began with the initiative of the Cossacks of the village of Izyubriny, who turned to Bishop Gury of Arsenyevsk and Dalnegorsk.

Bishop Gury supported the initiative, and the sketch of the cross was developed by the architect of the diocese, nun Theodora (Simbirtseva).

The cross was created using the funds raised. Hierodeacon Dosifei (Zykov) cooked it.

Governor of the Primorsky Territory Oleg Kozhemyako, who coordinated the final agreements with the aviators, helped raise the cross on Mount Oblachnaya.
