The flooded belfry in Kalyazin - a photo on Flickriver

            Underneath the waters of the Uglich Reservoir lie two monasteries, built in the 15th and 16th centuries. When Stalin moved to modernize the USSR in the late 1930s, a dam was built on the Upper Volga River, flooding an area roughly 249 kM².

With an average depth of 5 m and as deep as 23 m in some spots, most of the buildings and structures were destroyed or covered by the waters. However, one section of the St. Nicholas Cathedral rose above the man made lake - its bell tower.
