In 1890 the remains of a church, cemetery and some house sites once built by the natives were preserved at the north-western extremity of the village. A record states the following with this regard, “...In the centre of the cemetery stood a church whose roof and left vestry were still preserved. Its western part, however, lay in ruins, the inner columns destroyed together with the right sacristy... The wall near the left vestry bore a cross of red stone, an arshin in diametre. Westwards, above the church could be seen some yards and house sites. The Dukhobors’ village of Slavyanka is located on the right bank of the river.”
