Tomsk residents donated 2 million rubles for the gilding of the domes of the new temple
RIA Novosti reports this. The six-domed cathedral in the name of the holy supreme apostles Peter and Paul was opened in Tomsk in 1911. The domes of the temple, crowned with gilded crosses, had a sky-azure color. After the events of 1917, the temple was closed and subsequently given over to the warehouses of the Porosinsky distillery. In 1944, the cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. On July 12, the temple will celebrate the centennial anniversary of its consecration.
