Lev Tillevich, who became also the first Orthodox priest. The initiator of the Orthodox movement from the local people was Andriy Betz, who headed the construction of a wooden church.

At the same time, the church and the bell tower were taken by people who were left without housing because of a railway accident. The bells were moved to the stone church.
