Church is burning

Winter War, Finland. Church is burning in Sortavala after Russian bombing 3rd Feb 1940.

An excellent picture, but a sad reflection of the carnage that war can bring.
Did they ever rebuild this church mineman ?
 
It would have been rebuild, but after WWII, city of Sortavala was in Soviet Union and they weren't so keen on rebuilding churches back then.
