St. Dmitry Donskoy church, Orthodox church building in Salavat, Russia

The Uspensky Cathedral, formerly the Church of St. Dmitry Donskoy, stands at 35 Ufimskaya Street in Salavat. The brick church has a lower and an upper chapel; the upper walls were painted by Palekh masters in 2015. Its iconostasis icons were painted by artist Andrei Chemakin, and the church holds a throne in honor of Prince Dmitry Donskoy.

The church arose from the local community's desire to establish a spiritual center in Salavat. It joins other Russian churches honoring Saint Dmitry Donskoy, a medieval prince venerated in Orthodox tradition.

The church choir sings under regent Vitaly Shvetsov. The Sunday school teaches children the Law of God, icon painting, embroidery, carpentry and church singing, while adult classes cover Scripture, catechism and church history. The patronal feast of St. Dmitry Donskoy falls on 19 May (1 June).

Visitors can attend services at posted times found on the church website, where prayer requests can also be submitted online. Arriving before services begin gives time to explore the interior and adjust to the sacred space.

On the grounds stands a khachkar of pink tuff, unveiled and consecrated on 23 April 2015 to commemorate the Armenian genocide. It was carved by sculptor Friedrich Soghoyan, a People's Artist of Russia; Bishop Nikolay of Salavat and Kumertau led the consecration, with priest Ioil Gamagelyan of Holy Etchmiadzin present.
