Initially, the church was built as a Greek chapel, however, after the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913., When the number of Greeks in the city began to decline, he moved the Bulgarian Church (June 1, 1914). A few years later in Ruse (as a whole in Bulgaria) got a lot of refugees from the civil war that followed the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Then, the temple gave to the religious needs of Russian immigrants. Russian church brought its icons and books and held their services in parallel with the activities of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. So the temple of St. Nicholas became known among the inhabitants of the town of Ruse as "the Russian Church."

In the 1990s it began the process of painting the church, which lasted ten years. Now the church is decorated with paintings by the artists Yasen Yankov, Ivo Yotovskogo and Payne Peynova. Not so long ago the building bell tower was added, which is 240-pound bell.

In 1973, the St. Nicholas Church in virtue of its destiny and an interesting connection with the dramatic history of Bulgaria was declared a cultural monument.
