Based on authentic historical documents, the drama “For the Holy Faith” is dedicated to the great national tragedy that took place in Russian history - the schism of the Russian Orthodox Church that occurred during the patriarchate of Nikon (1652–1666). At the center of the story is the confrontation between Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and the Solovetsky Monastery, the relationship between the Government and the Church, as well as the fate of ordinary people involved in the maelstrom of turbulent historical events.
