Height: 30.8 cm Width: 27 cm Thickness: 2.7 cm = 27 mm [5] Both versions are given by Ivan Snegiryov.[6] During the French invasion of Russia, Ireneus (Falkovsky) [ru] took the icon from Smolensk to Moscow on August 5–6, and on the day of the Battle of Borodino, it was carried around the White City and the Kremlin along with the revered miraculous icons of Iveron and Vladimir. Before the French entered the city, the icon was taken to Yaroslavl in the 20s of December, it was returned to Smolensk.[7] On the eve of the Battle of Borodino, a copy of the icon from the gate church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in the Smolensk Kremlin, written in 1602, was carried before the Russian troops [3] it was returned to Smolensk on November 10, 1812. The 1456 copy of the icon was taken by the Hegumen of the monastery, Methodia, along with the sacristy to Vologda on August 31. The original of the icon was kept in the Dormition Cathedral in Smolensk, but after the city was occupied by German troops in 1941, the icon was not found. In the post-war period, the place of the ancient icon in the Dormition Cathedral in Smolensk was taken by an icon from the early 17th century from the church above the Dnieper Gate of the Smolensk Kremlin. One of the revered copies of the Smolensk icon is the Smolensk Bugabash Icon of the Mother of God, which is kept in the convent of the same name - the Bogoroditse-Odigitrievsky Convent in the village of Bugabashevo, Bakalinsky District, Republic of Bashkortostan.
