In front of the chapel there was a small cemetery. In the picture is all that survived from the cemetery monuments after the storms of the Revolution. Dmitry Vasilyevich Zinoviev was the owner of the Koporye estate, a rich man, a philanthropist, a lover of everything progressive.

The public gathered not only from the outskirts of Koporye, but also from St. Petersburg itself to look at the foreign miracle.
