A spot in southwest Moscow has been allocated to the Zaikonospassy Monastery for the construction of the center.

In 2001, with the blessing of the ever-memorable Archimandrite Peter (Afanaseva), the Slavic-Korean Orthodox Society was founded at the patriarchal podvoriye of the Church of the Image-Not-Made-By-Hands, which is now the Zaikonospassky Monastery.

A large conference, Koreans and Orthodoxy, was organized in the spring of 2014 with the help of Zaikonospassky Monastery. The event was dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Koreans’ settlement in Russia, and included a round table with the heads of regional branches of the Association of Koreans which adopted a resolution on starting a project for the development of regional missions in Russia.

In 2016, the Moscow government transferred a plot of land near the Slavic-Korean cultural center to Zaikonospassky Monastery to be leased for free. The spiritual-educational center with a church dedicated to St. Innocent of Moscow will be built on this plot with the blessing of Pat. Kirill.
