ALEX:

I've read that Butovo was on the outskirts of Moscow in the time of the Revolution. If I'm not mistaken, there were many believers, including many bishops, clergy, and monastics, taken there for execution. It was something of a killing field.

The church was dedicated during the time of the canonical reunion of the ROC with ROCOR.

Our brother, Alexandr, may offer more details about this.
