The history of Russia is inextricably linked with the history of Russian holiness. Reading these stories about saints, we involuntarily touch Russian history and understand that the saints are alive, they are next to us, they are our contemporaries. In this book, the writer introduced us to the most famous Russian saints: Equal-to-the-Apostles Princess Olga, Blessed Xenia of Petersburg, Righteous John Kronstadt, Patriarch Tikhon (Belavin) and others. The book is recommended by the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.
