By Denis Zagore, The Barents Observer November 5, 2024

The start of construction was announced at a press conference in Moscow. According to the head of the construction project group, Stepan Eliseev, the new cathedral will become the highest church building beyond the Arctic Circle — its height will be 68.6 meters, and its capacity will be up to a thousand people. However, in the documents published in a Murmansk regional portal, it was stated that the church is designed for 600 people.
