According to the information supplied by Leonid Kogan (email from 19.2.2026), this building was shown to him in 1994 by a local Jew, David Bokser, born c. 1927. Bokser testified that this building near the Great Synagogue was a prayer house, used on weekdays, while the prayer in the Great Synagogue took place on Saturdays and holidays. The prayer house was closed by the Soviet authorities in the late 1920s. Until 1980s, the building served as a shop and in the early 1990s - as a disco.
