In 1918, during the civil war that blazed in Russia after the revolution, the church was significantly damaged by artillery of the opposing sides. In 1937 it was demolished, the bell tower and the beautiful three-story building of the Demidov Lyceum, which stood next to it, disappeared. A city park was laid out on the vacated place. By the 1000th anniversary of the city, celebrated in 2010, the cathedral was restored at the expense of patrons of the arts. The temple regained the status of the spiritual center of Yaroslavl.
