The Russian village of Repyevka was founded in the first half of the 18th century on the Uza River as a military settlement to protect against nomads. It was named after the military foreman Prokofy Repyev. The second name, Nikolskoye, appeared after the construction of an Orthodox church dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in 1750. The fate of this church remains unknown, and by the mid-19th century, Repyevka lost its status as a parish village, becoming part of the parish of the Nikolskaya church of the neighboring village of Abalikh. A new cemetery church was built in the village itself. On the eve of the abolition of serfdom, Repyevka belonged to the landowner Stolypin and had 66 households, 261 men, and 250 women.

The church in honor of St. Alexius, Man of God, in the village of Repyevka, Bazarno-Karabulak district of Saratov region, is a reconstructed cemetery chapel. The chapel, consecrated in 1861, was renovated in the late 19th century by local landowners, the Stolypins, who added an altar and a bell tower. However, even after the reconstruction, the church did not have its own parish and remained attached to the Nikolskaya church of the vanished village of Abalikh until 1917. After the revolution, the authorities attempted to demolish the church, but unsuccessfully, and decided to turn the building into a club, which the residents ignored. Ultimately, the former church was used as a grain storage facility. Today, propaganda materials covering one of the windows remind us of the past. The church is in a semi-ruined state and poses a danger to anyone who tries to enter.
