abstract	P.24 "Musa Nagiyev was an adherent of one of the currents in Islam - Bahaism. Therefore, a large granite bust of Sheikh Bahaullah was installed at the very top on the facade of the building. . . "After the establishment of Soviet rule, it was decided to destroy the remains of the building. And only the protests of the local population forced the authorities to abandon these plans and begin restoration. The architectural monument was restored in 1922-1923 under the direction of architect Alexander Dubov. Unfortunately, during the restoration, the oriental ornaments and inscriptions from the Koran on the facade and on the sides of the building were removed, and instead of them there appeared golden five-pointed stars. Also, [P.25] the bust of Sheikh Bahaullah and the monument to Aga Ismayil disappeared."
