HOLY ASSUMPTION CHURCH ON MALAYA OKHTA, located at 68a Malookhtinsky Avenue. Was funded by public donations in 1996-2001 (architect F. K. Romanovsky) on the territory of the former Malookhtinskoe сemetery in memory of Leningrad citizens who died during the Siege of 1941-44 (the church is known under a common name of the Siege Chapel). Hundreds of city residents paid for bricks bearing their names for the construction project. The stone building with the single altar is designed in the style of Old Russian architecture: a tall rectangular structure with white plastered walls is crowned with a round dome drum with a cupola, covered with gold-coloured titanium. Icons of the three-tier iconostasis were made by A. V. Stalnov and V. T. Zhdanova. Memorial services for those who died during the Siege of 1941-44 are regularly held at the church. There is a chapel next to the church.
