Abstract

The article attempts to consider the compositional characteristics of the architecture of the Old Believer churches in Yekaterinburg as one of the centers of the Old Believers in the context of the confrontation between the two branches of the Orthodox faith. The purpose of this article is to get acquainted with the practice of building cathedral-type temples by Moscow Old Believers, to determine how Moscow samples and standard projects influence the architecture of Old Believer temples in Yekaterinburg in the context of Russian construction legislation.
