What does it mean to be a Christian today, in Russia in the 21st century? In what language can we talk about the Gospel Truth and how to live with it in a world where everything has changed so much? You can play reconstruction, you can immerse yourself in the world of your own fantasies, but how to meet reality, how to understand it? Or, in fact, all the changes over two thousand years were external, but the main thing remained unchanged? But how then to recognize it? This book is a search for answers to these questions.

Doctor of Science, professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, employee of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, author of a dozen books and numerous publications, father of three children and grandfather of three grandchildren.
