In 1830, a stone two-altar church with a bell tower was built in Nova Slastukha, constructed by the efforts of peasants and the landowner of the village of Shinki, Nikanor Logvinov. The walls of the temple were adorned with paintings. In the early 20th century, a unique porcelain iconostasis with gilding and ornamentation appeared in the church, funded by the local volost administration. At the same time as the decoration of the church, the volost financed the construction of a parish school and a hospital.

On July 3, 1929, the administrative department of the Yekaterinovsky district signed an agreement with the believers for the use of the church building. However, at the beginning of the following year, against the backdrop of collectivization, the church was closed. On February 17, 1930, the Presidium of the Lower Volga Regional Executive Committee decided to close the church in Slastukha and use its building as a school, citing the organization of collective farms in the village. The closure was accompanied by vandalism: the unique iconostasis was destroyed, church books were burned, icons and church utensils were obliterated, and windows were smashed.

The church building was completely rebuilt: the paintings were painted over, and the upper part was dismantled. Materials from the dome were transported to Yekaterinovka for school construction. Caterpillar tractors damaged the floors of the church. The Kazan church remains in this state to this day.

In the Yekaterinovsky district, only four historical church buildings have survived. The St. Nicholas church in Vorontsovka is in ruins, the Slastukha church has lost its exterior appearance, and only the framework of the bell tower remains from the Archangel Michael church in Borovaya Polyanshina. Only in the Archangel Michael church of the village of Pereezd has it been possible to resume services; in the other churches of the district, prayers are not heard.
