The restoration of wooden churches in the north of Russia is an important part of preserving the cultural heritage. State legislation regulates this activity. The subjects of this process pay attention to Russian laws, leaving international norms behind. Simultaneously, the international principles of preservation of historical wooden buildings ratified by Russia determine the areas of activity and offer criteria for evaluating decisions at different stages of activity. The regulatory document lacks a clear structuring of principles. The analysis and systematization of principles regarding wooden architecture, as more vulnerable objects, are presented in the article. The principles are developed taking into account various conservation processes: before, during restoration and after restoration. The article focuses on after restoration activities, as an important component of the conservation process, which should be developed at the design stage. An analysis of compliance with the principles and solutions of conservation issues is considered on the example of the Church of Transfiguration of the Lord in Kizhi. Its restoration is supervised by international experts from ICOMOS UNESCO and the rigorous implementation of international principles and recommendations.
