Over the decades of Soviet rule, many churches and temples have been truly degraded. Now, for the restoration of churches and temples, quite decent funds are allocated from the state treasury. And the restoration technique itself has moved to a new quality. Before restoration work, specialists carry out a detailed analysis of the condition of the monument and study the construction equipment used in its construction. After all, let’s say, the construction techniques of the 14th century were quite different from the construction techniques of the 16th or 17th centuries. Separately investigated materials that were used for external and internal finishing work. As a rule, quite sophisticated computer technologies are used for this, which make it possible to identify not only the type of material itself, but also the practically exact time of its manufacture. In addition, during restoration work, performing temple painting , masters try to recreate the style as accurately as possible in which a particular temple or church was built.
The restoration itself can be carried out in various ways - the most common method at the moment is the bulkhead method. Thanks to this method, you can save most of the original materials from which the restored church or temple was built. In order to strengthen the structures, rigid metal frames can be used, as if encircling the entire building. It should be noted that in the past twenty years, the previous methods of restoration work have been improved. But this is a matter for specialists. For Orthodox believers, the main thing is that in any, even the most remote point of the country, there should be a modest temple or a small church. Indeed, it is so important for all of them from time to time, at least for a couple of minutes, to be alone with God and open their heart to him.
