Church of the Holy Righteous John the Russian in Kuntsevo
- an Orthodox church located in the Western Administrative District (ZAO) of Moscow in the Kuntsevo district. The temple belongs to the St. George Deanery of the Western Vicariate of the Moscow Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church.
History[edit]
Wooden temple[edit]
Wooden church
A small wooden church-chapel in honor of the holy righteous John the Russian was built in 2003-2004. with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy of Moscow and All Rus'. Its architectural form - “korablets”, that is, a ship - is characteristic of ancient Russian wooden churches. It symbolizes the Church - a refuge in the sea of life.
The main altar of the temple is consecrated in honor of the holy righteous John the Russian Confessor; there is also an additional altar, consecrated in honor of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos. The main shrine is the revered icon of the righteous John the Russian with a particle of the saint’s relics. The temple is decorated with a highly artistic cupronickel basma iconostasis, harmoniously combining ancient Russian traditions with elements of the Byzantine style and ceiling paintings.
Stone temple[edit]
On August 25, 2010, the mayor of Moscow signed a decree on the construction of a temple complex - a plot of land was allocated for the construction of a large stone temple. The temple became part of the Program for the construction of Orthodox churches in Moscow (“200 temples”) of the Foundation “Support for the construction of temples in the city of Moscow.”
On July 7, 2013, the head of the Western Vicariate, Bishop Ignatius of Vyborg and Priozersk, laid the foundation for the construction of a new stone church with a capacity of 500 people, which is 10 times more than the capacity of the existing one.
On July 7, 2016, the head of the Western Vicariate, Bishop Tikhon of Yegoryevsk, performed the minor consecration of the built church.

An excerpt characterizing the Church of St. Righteous John the Russian in Kuntsevo
The army moved from west to east, and the variable gears carried him there. On June 10, he caught up with the army and spent the night in the Vilkovysy forest, in an apartment prepared for him, on the estate of a Polish count. The next day, Napoleon, having overtaken the army, drove up to the Neman in a carriage and, in order to inspect the area of the crossing, changed into a Polish uniform and went ashore. Seeing on the other side the Cossacks (les Cosaques) and the spreading steppes (les Steppes), in the middle of which was Moscou la ville sainte, [Moscow, the holy city,] the capital of that similar Scythian state, where Alexander the Great went, - Napoleon, unexpectedly for everyone and contrary to both strategic and diplomatic considerations, he ordered an offensive, and the next day his troops began to cross the Neman. On the 12th, early in the morning, he left the tent, pitched that day on the steep left bank of the Neman, and looked through the telescope at the streams of his troops emerging from the Vilkovyssky forest, spilling over three bridges built on the Neman. The troops knew about the presence of the emperor, looked for him with their eyes, and when they found a figure in a frock coat and hat separated from his retinue on the mountain in front of the tent, they threw their caps up and shouted: “Vive l'Empereur! [Long live the Emperor!] - and one after another, without exhaustion, flowed out, they all flowed out of the huge forest that had hidden them until now and, upset, crossed three bridges to the other side. – On fera du chemin cette fois ci. Oh! quand il s'en mele lui meme ca chauffe... Nom de Dieu... Le voila!.. Vive l'Empereur! Les voila donc les Steppes de l'Asie! Vilain pays tout de meme. Au revoir, Beauche; je te reserve le plus beau palais de Moscow. Au revoir! Bonne chance... L'as tu vu, l'Empereur? Vive l'Empereur!.. preur! Si on me fait gouverneur aux Indes, Gerard, je te fais ministre du Cachemire, c'est arrete. Vive l'Empereur! Vive! vive! vive! Les gredins de Cosaques, comme ils filent. Vive l'Empereur! Le voila! Le vois tu? Je l'ai vu deux fois comme jete vois. Le petit caporal... Je l'ai vu donner la croix a l'un des vieux... Vive l'Empereur!.. [Now let's go! ABOUT! As soon as he gets involved, things will boil over. By God... Here he is... Hurray, Emperor! So here they are, the Asian steppes... However, it is a bad country. Goodbye, Bose. I will leave you the best palace in Moscow. Goodbye, I wish you success. Have you seen the emperor? Hooray! If they make me a governor in India, I will make you the minister of Kashmir... Hurray! The Emperor is here! Do you see him? I saw him twice since you. Little corporal... I saw how he hung a cross on one of the old men... Hurray, emperor!] - said the voices of old and young people, of the most diverse characters and positions in society. On all the faces of these people there was one common expression of joy at the beginning of the long-awaited campaign and delight and devotion to the man in a gray frock coat standing on the mountain. On June 13, Napoleon was given a small purebred Arabian horse, and he sat down and galloped to one of the bridges over the Neman, constantly deafened by enthusiastic cries, which he obviously endured only because it was impossible to forbid them to express their love for him with these cries; but these screams, accompanying him everywhere, weighed on him and distracted him from the military worries that had gripped him since the time he joined the army. He drove across one of the bridges swinging on boats to the other side, turned sharply to the left and galloped towards Kovno, preceded by enthusiastic Guards horse rangers who were transfixed with happiness, clearing the way for the troops galloping ahead of him. Arriving at the wide Viliya River, he stopped next to a Polish Uhlan regiment stationed on the bank. - Vivat! – the Poles also shouted enthusiastically, disrupting the front and pushing each other in order to see him. Napoleon examined the river, got off his horse and sat down on a log lying on the bank. At a wordless sign, a pipe was handed to him, he placed it on the back of a happy page who ran up and began to look at the other side. Then he went deep into examining a sheet of map laid out between the logs. Without raising his head, he said something, and two of his adjutants galloped towards the Polish lancers. - What? What did he say? - was heard in the ranks of the Polish lancers when one adjutant galloped up to them. It was ordered to find a ford and cross to the other side. The Polish Lancer colonel, a handsome old man, flushed and confused in his words with excitement, asked the adjutant if he would be allowed to swim across the river with his Lancers without looking for a ford. He, with obvious fear of refusal, like a boy who asks permission to mount a horse, asked to be allowed to swim across the river in the eyes of the emperor. The adjutant said that the emperor would probably not be dissatisfied with this excessive zeal. As soon as the adjutant said this, an old mustachioed officer with a happy face and sparkling eyes, raising his saber, shouted: “Vivat! - and, commanding the lancers to follow him, he gave spurs to his horse and galloped up to the river. He angrily pushed the horse that had hesitated beneath him and fell into the water, heading deeper into the rapids of the current. Hundreds of lancers galloped after him. It was cold and terrible in the middle and at the rapids of the current. The lancers clung to each other, fell off their horses, some horses drowned, people drowned too, the rest tried to swim, some on the saddle, some holding the mane. They tried to swim forward to the other side and, despite the fact that there was a crossing half a mile away, they were proud that they were swimming and drowning in this river under the gaze of a man sitting on a log and not even looking at what they were doing. When the returning adjutant, having chosen a convenient moment, allowed himself to draw the emperor’s attention to the devotion of the Poles to his person, a small man in a gray frock coat stood up and, calling Berthier to him, began to walk with him back and forth along the shore, giving him orders and occasionally looking displeasedly at the drowning lancers who entertained his attention. It was not new for him to believe that his presence at all ends of the world, from Africa to the steppes of Muscovy, equally amazes and plunges people into the madness of self-forgetfulness. He ordered a horse to be brought to him and rode to his camp. About forty lancers drowned in the river, despite the boats sent to help. Most washed back to this shore. The colonel and several people swam across the river and with difficulty climbed out to the other bank. But as soon as they got out with their wet dress flopping around them and dripping in streams, they shouted: “Vivat!”, looking enthusiastically at the place where Napoleon stood, but where he was no longer there, and at that moment they considered themselves happy. In the evening, Napoleon, between two orders - one about delivering the prepared counterfeit Russian banknotes for import into Russia as soon as possible, and the other about shooting the Saxon, in whose intercepted letter information about orders for the French army was found - made a third order - about the inclusion of the Polish colonel, who unnecessarily threw himself into the river, into the cohort of honor (Legion d'honneur), of which Napoleon was the head. Qnos vult perdere – dementat. [Whoever he wants to destroy, he will deprive him of his reason (lat.)] Meanwhile, the Russian emperor had already lived in Vilna for more than a month, making reviews and maneuvers. Nothing was ready for the war that everyone expected and for which the emperor came from St. Petersburg to prepare. There was no general plan of action. Hesitation about which plan, out of all those that were proposed, should be adopted, only intensified even more after the emperor's month-long stay in the main apartment. The three armies each had a separate commander-in-chief, but there was no common commander over all the armies, and the emperor did not assume this title.
