In Klintsy, a new Old Believer church was built in one summer of 1902 and consecrated on September 29 in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The brick building resembled a large barn more than a church, but its size was impressive. In 1910, a three-class parish school was opened at the church, and a bell tower was built. Nearby, closer to the modern Soviet street, houses were erected for the priest and other church servants, such as the deacon, psalmist, and sexton. For ten years, the local priest Fyodor Razuvaev served here, who later became Bishop Flavian of Novozybkov.

In the 1930s, almost all the churches in the city, except for the Trinity Church, were closed. They stood without crosses for several years. The Intercession-Nicholas Church housed a bakery, the Ascension Church became a grain storage, the Transfiguration Church was turned into a kindergarten, and the Intercession Church, near the Trinity Church, was converted into a theater after the war, which later became a warehouse for Klintorg. Gradually, the churches disappeared: the bell tower of the Ascension Church was dismantled, and a city printing house now stands in its place. The former chapel of the Ascension Church is today the Nicholas Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The wooden Trinity Church burned down in 1972, and a construction management building and two nine-story apartment buildings were built on K. Marx Street in its place.

During the war, the Intercession-Nicholas Church, like other churches in Klintsy, was bombed, but the planes, including a local pilot, missed, damaging only the fence. With the arrival of the Red Army, the church building was dismantled under the pretext of being in a state of emergency, and the gravestones were removed. Some of them were hidden by residents of nearby houses. A wasteland re-emerged at the corner of Yevlanovka and Klintsovaya streets, which is now called Sverdlov and Dzerzhinsky streets.

In the late 1950s, on this wasteland, on a rise at the intersection of the former Yevlanovka and Klintsovaya streets, the city built two two-story apartment buildings. New residents, while digging cellars, found remains of human burials. The history of this place, located "since the arrival of the sloboda from the old bridge," has been ongoing for 300 years.
