built from 1810 until 1833 to a design by Gaudenzio Maricelli and still remains the tallest building in the Ivanovo Oblast. In 1891, a huge bell, weighing 1,270 poods (then the seventh largest bell in the Russian Empire), was raised to the third tier of the bell tower. The bell had been cast in Moscow at the expense of the manufacturer M. A. Pavlov.
On March 15, 1922, on the square in front of the Resurrection Cathedral, clashes occurred between Orthodox believers, who opposed the removal of church valuables from the temple, and government forces. Four believers were killed and several dozen believers and Red Army soldiers were wounded or beaten. These events are known as the Shuya Affair and mark the beginning of increased repression by Soviet authorities against the Russian Orthodox Church.
