The Ascension (Tikhvin) Church was built of brick in 1730-1733. owner of the village M.S. Anichkov. “The centric, cross-shaped, pillarless, five-domed temple was placed on a basement in which the warm Tikhvin Church was located. Until recently (more than half a century ago!) the temple was surrounded by open galleries on arcades, connecting it with a separate bell tower. The very unique composition of the building, in which the arms of the cross are equal in height to the central volume, the method of arranging small chapters according to the cardinal points and the extreme laconicism of the decorative decoration develop the artistic principles inherent in the architecture of the Great Cathedral of the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow. The third tier of the bell tower with a spire was built in 1788.”
PAMO, volume II, p. 53.
The temple is being restored and is already operational.
The two-story stone church was built in 1730-33. by the owner of the village, Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov, on the site of a dilapidated wooden Tikhvinskaya, which existed back in 1705.
There is no mention of the architect, but the following is said: “The construction should be carried out in accordance with the drawing, a model of how the cathedral church was made in the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow.” The temple is stone, two-story. The upper chapel is consecrated in honor of the Ascension of the Lord, and the lower chapel in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God. The centric, cross-shaped, pillarless, five-domed temple was placed on a basement that also housed the warm Tikhvin Church. Until recently, the temple was surrounded by open galleries on arcades, connecting it with a separate bell tower. The very unique composition of the building, in which the arms of the cross are equal in height to the central volume, the method of arranging small chapters according to the cardinal directions and the extreme laconicism of the decorative decoration develop the artistic principles inherent in the architecture of the Great Cathedral of the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow. In 1788, the temple was repaired, adding a third tier of bell tower with a spire. From the Klirovy Gazette of Vereisky District, 1813. It is known that the temple was damaged during the Patriotic War of 1812.
According to A.I. Ilyin 1912, “the church was painted red, there is no antiquity inside, all the iconostases have been redone. The upper church is tall, bright, cheerful, and the lower one is dark, there is an old tiled stove (now not preserved).” At that time, next to the temple there was a small chapel, as well as a parochial school building.
Since 1894, the priest Vladimir Alekseevich Pokrovsky served in the temple, who was arrested and executed in 1938 at the training ground in Butovo and buried in a common grave. Now he is numbered among the Council of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia. In the temple there is a particularly revered image of the holy martyr Vladimir. After the arrest of the abbot, the temple was closed, desecrated and barbarously looted. The building was used as a warehouse.
Since the fall of 1999, after sixty years of neglect, the temple has been in operation and is being restored. Since January 7, 2000, regular services have been held and church life has been improved. There is a church library. On Saturdays there is a Sunday school for children.

The village of Burtsevo, at the beginning of the 17th century. “a wasteland on the Malaya Pakhra River”, Moscow district, which once belonged to Prince Vasily Prozorovsky, in 1627 was “in the open lands”. In 1628, the Burtsev wasteland was sold from the Local Prikaz to the estate of Fyodor Dmitrievich Shusherin; in 1634, the village of Burtseva from the widow Lukerya Shusherina went to her nephew Timofey Dmitrievich Shusherin, in 1648 it was sold to Sila Osipovich Anichkov.
Under this owner, the village of Burtseva was called a village, in which there was a courtyard of patrimonial people, a courtyard of a backyard man, 8 peasant households and 4 bobyl households, and in them there were only 44 people. In 1703, the village belonged to Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov.
The Patriarchal Treasury Prikaz carried out the matter of building a new wooden church in the village of Burtsevo in the name of the Tikhvin Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The case began at the request of M.S. Anichkova. On the petition it is written: “Give a blessed letter to build a church, August 1703, 4 days.” The Local Prikaz, as a result of the petition of the steward M.S. Anichkov, notified the Patriarchal Prikaz on August 10, 1703 that from his, Anichkov’s estate, in the village of Burtsevo, 10 quarters of arable land in the field, a quarter of hay hay was approved for the newly built Church of the Most Holy Theotokos of Tikhvin . That same year, on October 12, an antimension was issued to the village of Burtsevo for a newly built church in the name of the Most Holy Theotokos of Tikhvin, priest Roman took the antimension of the same church and signed it.
Tikhvin Church in the parish salary books of the State Prikaz from 1706 to 1711. was written under the Zagorodskaya tithe “in the estate of the steward Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov, tribute 16 altyn, 5 money, hryvnia arrival,” and from 1712-1740. “30 altyn with money.”
The Synodal Treasury Order dealt with the construction of a stone church in the village of Burtsevo. The case began at the request of M. S. Anichkov. In his petition submitted to the Treasury Prikaz on May 12, 1730, M.S. Anichkov wrote: “in the Moscow district, in the Zagorodskaya tithe, there is in my patrimony, in the village of Bogorodskoye, the Church of the Tikhvin Most Holy Theotokos, which has become very dilapidated over many years, and it is not possible to serve and asked to issue a decree on the construction in the village of Bogorodskoye, on the former church place, again a stone church in the name of the Ascension of the Lord, the upper one, and the lower one in the name of the Tikhvin Most Holy Theotokos”... In this case, a determination was made: “May 1730, on the 25th day, by decree of Her Majesty and with the blessing of the Holy One. Govt. Synod to issue a decree on the construction of the church.” The same May, on the 30th day, the Synodal Treasury Order issued a decree to Mr. Anichkov on the construction of a stone church.
He is also M.S. Anichkov, on May 28, 1733 entered the State Prikaz with a petition in which he explained that “the upper stone church in the name of the Ascension of the Lord, and the lower one - the Tikhvin Mother of God, in the likeness of other churches, were created and decorated with holy icons and other church splendor, and in readiness for consecration, and that by decree it was commanded that the above-mentioned churches be consecrated and the consecrated antimension be given to one church, and in another it is intact.” On the petition it is written: “Give a decree on the consecration of two churches and issue the consecrated antimensions. Reported August 27, 1733." On the same date, from the Synodal Treasury Order, a decree was issued to the keymaster of the Great Assumption Cathedral, Mina Grigoriev, and his brethren, who was ordered: “to consecrate the newly built stone church in the name of the Ascension of the Lord and the Tikhvin Most Holy Theotokos and to give the consecrated antimensions from the Synodal House to the same church to the keymaster Mina Grigoriev.” .
After M.S. Anichkov, the village of Burtsevo-Bogorodskoye went to his daughter, the girl Anna, who in 1760 lost it to her own sister, the wife of Vasily Andreevich Plokhovo - the widow Sofya Mikhailovna.

Before preparing this material about the village of Burtsevo, the author of these lines really wanted to find at least a small thread in its past, albeit indirect, but definitely connecting it with the hussar Alexei Petrovich Burtsev, the hero of the poems of the participant in the war of 1812, poet and legendary partisan - Denis Davydova. They were colleagues in the Belarusian Hussar Regiment, and Davydov left the following poetic lines about his reckless friend and wild officer:
Burtsev, you are a hussar of hussars!
You're on a crazy horse
The cruelest of frenzy
And a rider in war!
The fact that the village of Burtsevo could have received its name in the past from the name or surname of its owner is not news, and there are examples of this. So, Afineevo got its name from Athenaeus, from whom Ivan Kalita bought this village, and which he mentions in his spiritual letter. Kryokshino got its name from its owner, a retired naval officer from the time of Peter I, P.N. Kryokshina. And in the Naro-Fominsk region itself there are villages and hamlets that have similar names after the names of their past landowners: Zagryazhskys, Slepushkins, Shapkins, Yushkovs, Lisintsevs. Finally, the villages of Alekseevka and Aleksandrovka received their name from the princes Shcherbatov, as Naro-Fominsk local historians wrote about in the past. But still, no matter how much the author of this essay wanted to find a connection between the name of the village of Burtsevo and the hussar and rake Burtsev, he failed. Alexey Petrovich Burtsev himself died in 1813 and remained widely known to our contemporaries as a gallant hussar officer with a dashing and willful disposition, who entered the history of the Fatherland and literature thanks only to the poems of Denis Davydov. And yet, the village of Burtsevo has its own fascinating history and biography.
On the geographical map of the Moscow province of Gorikhvostov in 1774, the village of Burtsevo is marked as located on the banks of the Malaya Pakhra River along the Borovsky tract leading from Moscow to Borovsk. At the beginning of the 17th century, it was part of the Goret camp of the Moscow district and belonged to Prince Vasily Prozorovsky, as Archpriest Oleg Penezhko writes in his book “The city of Vereya and the churches of the Naro-Fominsk region.” But in 1628, he continues, the village was sold as an estate to Fyodor Dmitrievich Shusherin. And in 1634, Burtsevo passed from the widow Lukerya Shusherina to her nephew Mikhail Dmitrievich Shusherin. In 1648 it was sold to Sila Osipovich Anichkov, who was the governor in Ilimsk in 1666 - 1677, and from 1682 a steward. Sila Osipovich built a landowner's house in Burtsevo, and it became a village with eight peasant households and four farmsteads. Subsequently, it passes to his family. But how this happened and which of them is unknown to the author. Meanwhile, in 1703, at the request of the steward Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov, a new wooden church was built in Burtsevo, consecrated in 1705 in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God. After the church, the village began to be called Bogorodskoe. However, according to Gorikhvostov’s map, from the moment of its creation to the present time, Burtsevo has retained its current name. In 1730, at the expense of Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov, a stone two-story, now existing church was built. Here it should be said that the noble family of the Anichkovs is a very old family. Its genealogy began in 1301, when the Tatar Khan Berka (Berkai), prince of the Great Horde, entered the service of the Moscow prince, grandson of Alexander Nevsky, Ivan Danilovich Kalita. After baptism, Berka took the name Oniky (later Aniky), and married the daughter of a noble man Vikula Vorontsov. The descendants of Anikiy began to be called Anichkovs. But most of all, the Anichkov surname is known in St. Petersburg. At the same time, there is every reason to assert that it was Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov who in 1715 built a wooden bridge across the Fontanka in St. Petersburg with a military team subordinate to him, named Anichkov, which later became an adornment of the city thanks to its equestrian statues by sculptor P.K. Klodt. The Anichkov Palace, located not far from this bridge, which received its name from it, was no less famous in St. Petersburg. However, Mikhail Stepanovich has nothing to do with the palace itself, since it began to be built in 1741. From the local history research of Archpriest Oleg Penezhko it follows that in 1733 Mikhail Stepanovich wrote a petition for the consecration of the church he built in Burtsevo (Bogorodskoye). It had the following content: “The stone church in the name of the Ascension of the Lord - the upper one, and the lower one - the Tikhvin Mother of God, in the likeness of other churches, created with holy icons and other church splendor, arranged and ready for consecration.” Thus, already in 1733, the Church of the Ascension in Burtsevo, which still exists to this day, was completely built and, with its interior church decoration, was ready for consecration. In 1760, the daughter of Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov, the maiden Anna, lost Burtsevo to her sister Sofya Mikhailovna, the widow of Vasily Andreevich Plokhovo. And in 1788, the third tier of the bell tower was built. According to the annotated catalog by A.B. Chizhkov “Moscow estates” in the middle of the 19th century, the estate in Burtsevo was owned by Colonel P.F. Guryev, then the princes of Vyazemsky. And from 1890 to 1911 - Privy Councilor Vyacheslav Simforianovich Kokhmansky, who deserves a separate story. Not far from his estate was the estate of E.A. Kanyshev, which also did not survive.
Concluding his story about the history of the village of Burtsevo, the author of these lines only regrets that, firstly, it was not possible to find the connection between this settlement and the hussar Alexei Petrovich Burtsev. And secondly, that although it has its own wonderful history without him, the limited space provided by the newspaper does not make it possible to reveal it all to the reader, for which I apologize.

Church of the Ascension- an Orthodox church of the Naro-Fominsk deanery of the Moscow diocese, located in the village of Burtsevo, Naro-Fominsk district, Moscow region.
Story
The first information about the wooden Tikhvin church in Burtsevo dates back to 1705, but it is quite obvious that it existed earlier. By 1730, the old temple was completely dilapidated and, at the expense of Mikhail Stepanovich Anichkov, construction of a new one, Voznesensky, began in its place. The temple was built according to the design and under the leadership of the serf master Nikifor Alekseev from the village of Makeevo, Yaroslavl district. By 1733, the stone two-story temple of original architecture was completed modeled after the cathedral church in the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow. On the top floor there was a chapel of the Ascension of the Lord, on the lower floor - the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God. In 1788, another tier of the bell tower was added; the temple was damaged during the War of 1812. There is a description of the temple in 1912
Next to the temple there was a small chapel and a parish school building.
In 1938, the priest, Vladimir Alekseevich Pokrovsky (who served since 1894), was arrested; after his arrest, the temple was closed, and the rector, on February 26 of the same year, was shot at the Butovo training ground (October 7, 2002, by a resolution of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, he was classified to the Council of Russian New Martyrs). The looted church building was used as a warehouse. It was returned to the church in the fall of 1999, since then it has been in operation and is under restoration, since January 7, 2000, regular services have been held.
On December 2, a group of German tanks with motorized infantry, moving from the Naro-Fominsk area, penetrated far to the east, trying to reach Golitsino. By noon on December 2, the German 478th Infantry Regiment, supported by 15 tanks, occupied Yushkovo and Burtsevo. At the same time, German infantry units were moving north from the Zvenigorod area to Golitsino. There was a danger of large pincers significantly wedged into the depths of our defense, but in the north the Germans towards Golitsino advanced only 4 kilometers.
The 25-kilometer tank breakthrough on the central sector of the Western Front was completely unexpected and most dangerous. The Germans approached the headquarters of the Western Front in Perkhushkovo at a distance of just over 10 kilometers and had a real opportunity to break through to the Kiev or Minsk highway.
During the retreat from Burtsevo, ours tried to set fire to the village, but the attempt failed and the Germans had the opportunity to warm up in their houses. They had spent the previous night in old concrete pillboxes at a tank training area west of the village. The frost was below thirty and they went out on guard duty with a brick heated on the stove. Bricks wrapped in rags were applied to the bolts so that the oil did not freeze and the weapon did not jam. But paradise lasted only six hours. The 478th Infantry Regiment was ordered to withdraw to Yushkovo.The situation was saved by the presence of a front reserve in the area. The commander of the 33rd Army, Efremov, formed a tank group under the command of Colonel Safir from the forces transferred to him, and on December 3 it defeated the Germans.At the end of the operation, Lieutenant General M. G. Efremov reported:
“Comfront Army General Zhukov, the enemy’s 478th Infantry Division (258th Infantry Division), reinforced by a tank battalion in the Yushkovo, Burtsevo region and the forest to the north-west were destroyed, the remnants retreated to the west...”. For this battle, Zhukov awarded M.P. by telegraph. Safira with the Order of the Red Banner.Burtsevo, located one kilometer from Yushkovo, turned out to be the closest settlement to Moscow that the Germans reached on the central section of the western front (45 kilometers from the center of Moscow).
Subsequently, information about the Naro-Fominsk breakthrough and the actions of the 33rd Army was extremely limited. Zhukov in his “Memoirs...” placed the main emphasis on the battle of the 5th Army near the village of Akulovo, located 18 kilometers further from Moscow, and in all guidebooks, to this day, the extreme point of the German offensive is called Akulovo.
In Burtsevo there is a small modern monument and memorial plaques with the names of deceased fellow villagers. The monument to our people who stopped the enemy near Moscow itself is a survivor, not
despite all the adversities, the Church of the Ascension of the Lord.
The two-story church was built in 1733 and was damaged during the Patriotic War of 1812. Closed at the end of the 30s, desecrated and barbarically robbed, and reopened only in 1999.
The church has high walls and a powerful five-domed structure, crowned almost at the same level by the branches of a “petal” cross. There is only one similar temple in Russia, this is the cathedral church of the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow, which was used as a model.
