History The synagogue was originally built in 1898 by the Jewish community of Tsaritsino Volgograd . Situated on Balakhinskaya Street, it was built with funds collected from amongst the several hundred Jews, mainly Cantonist s, who resided here at that time. The Synagogue was eventually confiscated by Soviet authorities. While it survived the Stalingrad battle of World War Two, it was seriously damaged. Its original reconstruction was rushed under Soviet authorities and was of poor quality, with no attention paid to the building s original design. ref http www.fjc.ru communities institution.asp?AID 87014 ref Modern history After Jewish leaders appealed to City Council Chairman V. Popov and Mayor Yuri Chekhov to return the synagogue to the Jewish community, local authorities decided in favor of this idea in 2001. In January 2002, the Jewish community was awarded tenure of the building, which is now used as a Synagogue and Jewish Community Center. In late 2003, the Jewish community obtained documentation that led to the Volgograd State Center for Safeguarding Monuments to award the Synagogue status as an architectural and historical monument.
