Pavel Kharitonenko, the son of Sumy sugar producer Ivan Kharitonenko, who continued to build his father's sugar empire, ordered the construction of the church as his own tomb.
The cathedral was founded in 1901 and built for a very long time - even a year after the customer's death (he died in 1914) the temple was not yet completed, and in 1915 construction stopped - there was a war and profits were not too much to spend her on a huge building.
The cathedral itself consists of two parts - the upper (actually, the temple itself) and the lower (underground). In 1976, the building was restored and an organ was installed in it (in Soviet times, the church had an organ hall). The underground part was widened, but this disrupted the monolithic nature of the building - the arches of the lower temple began to crack. Later they were strengthened and concreted, and the organ was moved to the current Philharmonic.
Now it is a functioning cathedral belonging to the UOC-MP.
It is noteworthy that no one was buried in the temple, which was built as the largest ancestral tomb.

Rumors immediately spread around the city that the execution is revenge for acts that fall not only under the criminal code, but also under the condemnation of public morality. A year after the incident, this case received the attention of the popular on STB show "Investigation is conducted by psychics. "
