The facade of this old church (1669) is
covered with "Poias tseninniykh israstsov," produced in 1668 by the
Moscow master Stepan "Polubes," Ivanov, repeating the beloved
ornament of the end of the 17th century - "Pavlin'ye oko," a sort of
garland of vines and herbs. The cost of each of these tiles were on par with
that paid for several "Pudov rzhi." The location is to the
west of the Repin square formerly known as Bolotnaya where on January 10 The,
1775, Pugachev and Perfil'ev were pulled apart by horses, quartered and
beheaded. "Pole, zdes' nakhodivsheesia, dalo nazvanie etoi ulitse,"
writes Aleksei Alexandrovch Martinov in the book "Nazvaniya Moskovskikh
ulits I pereulkov.' He continues; "Eto-drveniaia doroga iz Velikogo
Novgoroda v Riazan', odin iz samykh ozhivlennykh torgovykh putei Drevnei
Rusi." In old times " chto v debritsakh," meant a dipping in a
meadow, from whence the name for this church..
