The new Orthodox women's monastery is located in the village of Leninskoye (Fin. Happolo) of the Vyborg district, not far from the resort villages of Repino and Komarovo. There has never been an Orthodox church in this village. Historically, this territory belonged to the Principality of Finland and the population was mainly Lutheran. The nearest Orthodox church was located only in Roshchino, where people lived Orthodoxy. In 1998, the Orthodox community was created in the village of Leninsky. The place reserved for the construction of the temple was a place left from the club that had been burned down during the perestroika years. The construction was carried out at the expense of ktitor Konstantin Veniaminovich Goloshchapov.

In June 1998, the laying of the church in honor of Saints Equal to the Apostles Constantine and Helena took place; in February of the following year, domes were installed on the church. In December 1999, eight bells were raised to the belfry. The first service in the church took place at the Christmas fast in 1999, since May 2000, services have been held here constantly. The church was lit in 2001 by His Holiness Patriarch Alexy.

For several years the church of Constantine and Helena acted as a parish. But at the meeting of the Holy Synod of October 6, 2006, the request of the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga Vladimir for blessing the opening of the Konstantin-Eleninsky Convent in the village of Leninsky, Vyborg District, Leningrad Region, was granted.

The first sisters came here from the St. Petersburg Novodevichy Convent. Nun Hilarion (Feoktistova) was appointed rector of the monastery with the laying of a pectoral cross.

Three churches are now located on the territory of the monastery: in the name of Saints Equal to the Apostles Constantine and Helena, in the name of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker and the baptismal church in the name of the Nativity of Christ. Senior priest of the Church of Constantine-Elenin Theoctist.

Another temple was built in the name of the Nativity of Christ. This temple is also called the "Baptistery", it is intended for baptism. In fonts, you can baptize by immersion not only children, but also adults and adults.

The monastery has more than fifty shrines. There are arks with particles of the relics of the holy kings Konstantin and Elena, the relics of St. Apostle Bartholomew and St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene, martyrs of the first centuries of Christianity - Holy Martyr Charalampy and Great Martyr Theodore Stratelates; head of mts.

Particularly revered are the image of God’s matter "The Tsaritsa" of Mount Athos, the icon of the Not-Made Image of the Lord by Vasnetsov, the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, painted in Athos in 2002, the ancient image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is a gift of V.V. Putin.

There are two monuments on the territory of the monastery - the gifts of famous sculptors. The sculpture of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker, donated by Zurab Tsereteli, is installed at the entrance to the church of St. Nicholas.

Opposite the Church of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena, another sculpture is installed: the kneeling figure of the Holy Right Prince Alexander Nevsky is the work of the sculptor A. Charkin. According to the guide, she exhibited at the competition for the monument to Alexander Nevsky on the eponymous square near the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. However, the competition was won by another sculptural work. Now this monument is in the Kostantino-Elena monastery. He is part of a war memorial. Placed next to it are boards with the names of the inhabitants of the village who died for their homeland in the battles of the Great Patriotic War and subsequent wars. Residents of the village gather near the memorial for the holiday of May 9th. A memorial service is served here, and then other graves are visited.

There is a Sunday school at the monastery, an almshouse for the elderly priests and clergy is being built. The monastery accepts disabled pilgrims, children from Sunday church schools, and laborers with the blessing of the parish priests. You can come here in groups of up to thirty people by prior arrangement. Pilgrims are provided with food and overnight in rooms with good heating and hot water.

Since 2007, a monastery courtyard has been operating in St. Petersburg - the Church of St. Andrew of Crete on Riga Avenue.

Recently, the monastery has another courtyard: Holy Trinity Monastery in Lintul (the village of "Sparks" of the Vyborg district). This monastery was built with the blessing of St. John of Krondstadt at the expense of the landlords of the Nero. During the Finnish war in 1939, he was evacuated to Finland, where he continues to exist.

However, now, at the historical site of Lintula, the revival of the old monastery has begun: the design of the temple and the cell building is underway.

On April 16, 2016, on the feast of the Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos, a group of pilgrims from the Savior-Pargolovsky Church visited the Konstantin-Eleninsky Nunnery and its courtyards.

On this day in one of the churches of the monastery - the temple of the Praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary was a patronal feast. It was in this temple that we were met with a smile and a blessing from the abbess of Hilarion.

Before the celebration of the liturgy, a water sanctuary was served. We managed to get some water, file notes, and venerate the relics of the holy saints, among which there are particles of the relics of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Anastasia the Solvers, Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, and the Great Martyr. Panteleimon, St. Spiridon of Trimyphuntes, St. Basil the Great, St. Sergius of Radonezh, St. Seraphim of Sarov, the righteous Godfather of Jacob and Anna and many other saints of God.

The guide told us about the history of the creation and reconstruction of the monastery. The Konstantin-Eleninsky Monastery is located in the center of the village of Leninskoye, Vyborg District, Leningrad Region (historically - Haapala, which means “Aspen” in Finnish). Until 1918, these lands were the Principality of Finland, which was part of the Russian Empire, then - the territory of an independent state with the Finnish population of the Lutheran religion. After the war, the Finnish village of Haapala was renamed the village of Leninskoye and a state farm of Russian immigrants was organized. On June 28, 1998, the church was laid in honor of Saints Equal to the Apostles Constantine and Helena, and on September 11, 2001 His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II performed the rite of consecration of the church. Currently, there are 4 churches in the monastery: Konstantin-Eleninsky, Nikolsky, in honor of the Nativity of Christ and in honor of the Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos. In the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the sacrament of baptism is performed by complete immersion.

We also saw on the territory of the Konstantin-Eleninsky Monastery a monument to Alexander Nevsky praying in front of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God, who took second place in the competition of monuments on Alexander Nevsky Square in St. Petersburg, so he was not placed there, but found his place in the monastery .

This small monastery is located in the eastern part of the city of Vladimir, in Konstantino-Eleninsky passage, near Dobroselskaya street.
The village of Good was formed from a settlement that settled near the monastery. In ancient acts for the first time it is mentioned in the letter of deed of Metropolitan Gerontius of 1478. Then the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker already existed here. The fate of this church during the sixteenth century remains unknown. Its existence in the village of Dobry in the 17th century is confirmed by an entry in the patriarchal salary books, in which under 1628 it reads: "the church of the great miracle worker Nicholas in the village of Dobry the Tsar-Konstantinovsky monastery ..." In 1694, an independent clergy continued to exist at this church: Pop Peter Dmitriev, deacon Senka Timofeev, and in 1710 pop Stefan Petrov.

The old church was dilapidated in 1720 and donated to the city of Vladimir for the construction of the Three Saints Church at the present Sergius Church after the fire. In 1730, at the request of the parishioners, a decree was given to build a new church instead of the dilapidated Nikolaevskaya. When this church was built, it is not known, but it existed until the beginning of this century.
At present, there is a stone church in the Good Village; it was built in the second half of the 19th century by the archimandrite of the monastery here, Abraham. Upon the abolition of the monastery, the church was transferred to the village. In 1865, the church was widespread in length, and two side chapels were arranged in the meal. And in 1885, a rather high stone bell tower was built at the church, which is clearly visible even from the city center.
In 1935 the church was closed, it was first used as a warehouse, then a club was located there, then a bottling wine shop, in the 80-90s. filmstrip shop. On May 20, 1950, the USSR Council of Ministers adopted a resolution on the transfer of the villages of Dobroe and Krasnoe to the city limits of Vladimir. Thanks to this decision, the city of Vladimir expanded its territory immediately to 60 hectares. The following month, the Executive Committee of the City Council approved a project for the detailed planning and development of neighborhoods on collective farm lands in former villages.
A green protective zone, mastered by a chemical plant, and 240 sections of individual construction were to be placed here. On May 9, 1957, by decision of the Executive Committee of the City Council No. 933, several streets of the former villages of Dobroe and Krasnoe were renamed at once. Since in these villages there were streets with the same names as in Vladimir. And in order to avoid confusion, it was decided to rename them.
The main street of the village of Dobry was called Moskovskaya, it was first renamed to Dobroselsky passage, and later to Dobroselskaya street. Gorkovskaya street became Mayakovsky street. Peace Street received the name Minin. In Khrushchev's time, villages turned into sleeping quarters. In September 1994, the church was returned to the ROC and re-lit. On April 14, 1996, a 3-pound bell was installed on the bell tower, donated to the church from the city administration in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the city of Vladimir.
In January 2003, the Holy Bogolyubovsky Monastery was transferred to the premises of the former Konstantin-Eleninsky parish. Since February 2003, with the blessing of the Holy Synod, the Constantine-Eleninsky parish was renamed the Aleksievsky Constantine-Eleninsky Monastery, the abbot of which was appointed Abbot Abraham.

Despite the dense bedroom buildings of the second half of the twentieth century, old wooden houses are still preserved in these places, but modern cottages are gradually replacing them. For example, a house on the street 40 years of October.
