In the clergy house of the Church of the Beheading of the Head of John the Baptist near Bor at ul. Pyatnitskaya, d.4, in Soviet times there were communal apartments. In 1991, in one of them, the first cult club "Third Way" was opened in Moscow, the interiors of which were made in the style of "emphasized true urban vintage." Foreigners were taken here on excursions as one of the attractions of the capital: shabby walls, many strange people, tables flooded with beer. The club played many famous Russian groups, including "Sounds of Mu,""Polite Refusal," "Hummingbirds" and others. Shows of fashion designers, including Andrei Bartenev, were held. Read more here.

1994: Dissolution of the parish of the Church of Mikhail and Fyodor Chernigovsky due to conflicts and the establishment of the Patriarchal Compound

For 1992-94, the works of the rector and young elder Theodore returned to the parish the buildings of the almshouse, bell tower and church house. Two land allotments were issued along Pyatnitskaya Street with the transfer to the parish of part of the territory and premises of the former profitable household of the Savinno-Storozhevsky Monastery.

Yevgeny Gennadievich Tretnikov, who worked in the Moscow City Council at that time, and in the parish he was a former assistant to the headman, provided great help in the struggle for the opening of churches and paperwork for all church property.

Constant disagreements, disunity and non-construction among members of the parish assembly forced Father Sergius and his faithful parishioners in August 1994 to appeal to the Holy Patriarch with a petition to dissolve the parish and establish ^[1] Toroptsev at the Church of the Patriarchal Compound^[2].

The diocesan authorities represented by Vladyka Arseny, Archbishop of Istra, and Archpriest Boris Guznyakov, Dean of the Moskvoretsky deanery, made a lot of efforts to reconcile the parties and normalize life in the parish, but everything turned out to be in vain. Experienced and respected Archpriest Sergiy Karamnov, a longtime friend of Father Sergiy Toroptsev, was appointed rector of the courtyard.
