Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is a newly built church of the Diocese of Chernihiv (the Ukrainian Orthodox Church). The temple was erected to commemorate the soldiers who performed international duty in Afghanistan, and in general all the soldiers who gave their lives for their Motherland and Faith. The temple is erected in front of a regional hospital, not far from an oncology clinic and a place for veterans.

Even in Kievan Rus, St. Nicholas had a great respect and reverence as the patron saint of travelers, the deputy of the poor and the needy.
