In 1804 Ganja khanate was seized by Imperial Russia and it was completely joined in structure of Russia. After capture of Ganja by Russia it was renamed in Elizavetpol in honour of wife Alexander I Elizaveta. After that in 1823 as well as other khanates, Erivan khanate also was seized by Russia. Thus Russia has established full authority above Azerbaijan. The prisoner in 1828 Turkmanchay the contract between Iran and Russia on has always connected the destiny of Azerbaijan people with Imperial Russia. That Imperial Russia first of all will be strengthened in this territory, have started to change a demographic condition of the population. Thus from 1860 moved to Ganja Armenians, German colonists, Jews, Lezghins, Russians and dukhobor malaccans having various, religious beliefs, Russians, Malaccans, Armenians and Jews were placed on the left part of the bank of the river Ganja, and Germans on the right. In 1873 in connection with expansion of the city the new head plan was prepared. On the basis of this plan on the southern part of the present “Khan bagi” the Orthodox church was constructed, on the western part the Mikhailovskaya craft school was constructed, on the southern part the residence of the Ganja governor was constructed, and on the eastern part the buildings of the casino, hotel, bank, cinematography and theatre were constructed. On the right bank of the river Ganja mans and female grammar schools, church in style of a gothic style, bank and real school were constructed. The constructive process of the city transferred to the east of Ganja also a shape of the European city. This constructive process promoted the development of culture, formation, a science and created the big opportunities for expansion of trade with the European states. The buildings for religious practices also extended. But unfortunately in those times as well as with these good affairs, the Khan palace and the walls of an internal fortress, were destroyed, and “Khan bagi” was destroyed  by malaccans, that till now wounds our hearts. Bringing in the city the European culture monuments connected with our ancient culture were destroyed.
After beforehand organized Armenian-Muslim slaughter in 1905, Armenians have moved on the right coast of the river Ganja. They up to 1909 before a German temple which was a monument of  XVIII century attached a belfry and began to use in the religious purposes. In 1910 Armenians on the right bank of the river of Ganja in the northern part of the city constructed Gregorian church. Germans owning the big plantations of grapes, wine factories, mines around of Ganja gradually started to leave for 1915-1916 years. Having taken advantage of it Armenians started to move in their houses, and the church constructed by Germans, Russian started to use by Russians for realization of religious practices  was named Alexander Neva. Today the church constructed by Germans is used as the puppet Theater, a building of the theatre as the state theatre, a building of  the bank as a national bank, the European bath as a city bath, a building of cinematography as a cinema, and apartment houses are used by the population.
Falling of imperial authority after bourgeois revolution in February 1917 has enabled formations ADR on 28 April 1918. The center of the democratic republic proclaimed a city of Ganja. The first decision of the new government was returning to the city the name “Ganja” after 114 years breaks. But after 23d months the end to the freedom of our people has come. In 1920 the Soviet Russia which did not recognize any kinds of religious beliefs, was not considered with customs of people and a vein with ideas on creation of a new society, grasped Azerbaijan and including Ganja.
