Kazari

Kazari is a village in the Ryazan countryside near the Oka. Its Church of the Dormition appears in seventeenth-century parish records, which also place the neighbouring village of Muromino within its parish. The church served a rural community of estates and villages outside the town of Ryazan. In 1744 the landowner Lev Izmaylov requested repairs to its roof, preserving a small record of the care given to the parish building.
