On July 28, on the day of remembrance of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir, on the Day of the Baptism of Rus', the chairman of the diocesan department for relations with healthcare institutions, rector of the Church of the Holy Righteous Philaret the Merciful in Ulyanovsk, Priest Dimitry Subbotin performed the Divine Liturgy, prayer service and memorial service in the Vladimir Church village named after Karamzin.

The service was attended by residents of the village, members of the Simbirsk Orthodox Youth movement, nurses, doctors and patients of the Ulyanovsk Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital named after V.A. Koposova.

Then Father Dimitry performed a memorial service at the grave of the zemstvo psychiatrist Vasily Koposov, whose name today is given to the psychiatric hospital in the village named after Karamzin.

Elena BarbuThanks for the article. I was impressed that Father Dimitrie also served the memorial service at the grave of Dr. Vasili Koposov, right next to the ruins of the church. It's nice that the young people from "Simbirskaia pravoslavnaia molodioj" and the sisters of mercy come there, even if the floor and roof are gone. Anyone thinking of starting the restoration?

Иван ОрловThank you for writing about this. It’s interesting that Father Dimitri held a memorial service at Koposov’s grave right next to the ruins - I didn’t even know that the hospital was named after him. Well done to the guys from the “Simbirsk Orthodox Youth” for not being afraid to come there, where there is no floor, no roof.
