St. Alexander Nevsky Church, located in the village of Užusaliai, was built in 1866 and stands as an important historical and cultural monument. The construction of the church is directly linked to the Russification policies in Lithuania following the 1863 uprising, in which many local residents actively participated. After battles near Užusaliai ended in defeat, many locals were exiled, and their places were taken by Russian settlers.
In 1866, the Russian authorities built a brick church with multiple towers in Užusaliai, along with a school housed in spacious buildings. These developments were part of the broader Russification efforts implemented after the 1863 uprising. The village of Užusaliai was renamed Aleksandrovskaya Sloboda, reflecting the influence and administrative control of Tsarist Russia.
