The article tells about the forgotten events in the life of the pre-Soviet Grozny connected with the emergence, development and forced closure of the city's women's community named after the Holy Right-believing Princess Anna of Kashin. The organizer of the women's community in Grozny was the Abbot of the city's Cosmo-Damian cathedral, Archpriest I.G. Popov, who founded the Orthodox women's community in conjunction with discovering the relics of Anna of Kashin in Russia. The historical event, the formation of the Grozny women's community, occurred in 1909 on the eastern outskirts of the city’s lands with the participation of the head of the Grozny district of the Terek region, Colonel I.M. Strizhyov, the city architect A.V. Stanevich and the inhabitants of the city. In the organization of the convent, Archpriest I.G. Popov was assisted by M.S. Znaychenko, E.I. Migachyova and M.N. Mishchenko. During the visit of the Grozny Women's Community in 1912 by the Archbishop of Vladikavkaz and Mozdok Pitirim there were 23 nuns, 2 new one-story stone buildings and a temple. A hieromonk was attached to the monastery, he was funded by the women's community. In spring 1912, with the assistance of Grozny's mayor P.G. Kotrov, the women's monastery was given a plot of fertile land, and a corresponding certificate was issued. In autumn 1912, in the convent a priest A. Karpov began to serve. In spring 1916, the women's community in Grozny, by the Decree of the Holy Governing Synod, was officially established. According to the information of the old residents of Grozny, the convent was destroyed by the Soviet authorities in approximately 1924–1926.
