Reopened as a Russian Orthodox church institution in 1991 and considered to be the center of Saint Nicholas worship in Moscow oblast. At present it is one of the largest Orthodox monasteries in Russia with restored churches and chapels, with a territory with lots of greenery and swan ponds. There is a theological seminary and newly opened Sacristy-Museum. The monastery is imaged on the Coat of Arms of Dzerzhinsky.
