So, not sunk. Reasons for the fire/explosions still not clear.
I deleted the previous iteration of this tweet but there are now several unconfirmed reports claiming that the Moskva has arrived at the port of Sevastopol, allegedly on its own. Waiting for visual confirmation, I guess. I'll keep you updated
Well, that didn't last long - MOD says the "Moskva" lost its stability due to sustained hull damage & then sank due to storm weather while en route to its port of destination (Sevastopol, I guess).

It is said that the floating church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker took the blows of five severe storms, but was never damaged and always returned to its home port of Astrakhan. This ship sailed the Caspian Sea & was the only full-fledged floating church in the Russian Empire. Image
The paddle steamer featured a whole parish complex: the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for five hundred parishioners, icon and candle shops, a pharmacy and even a small hospital for the sick.
The first voyage of the floating church occurred in September 1910 with the blessing of Bishop Georgiy (Orlov) of Astrakhan. The church was entrusted with the implementation of an important spiritual task.
