With the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus'

People have always fallen and sinned. But the attitude towards evil and sin could be completely different. During the triumph of Christianity, people were afraid and ashamed of evil, they fought against evil, and repented of their sins. In subsequent times, “shame was abolished,” and equalization of the rights of good and evil, virtue and sin began. In the last times, evil will triumph, and good will be banned. To some extent this is already happening. The spiritual understanding of modern art reveals the terrible truth about man, about those “satanic depths” into which he rushed. Olesya Nikolaeva, the author of this book, is a wonderful poet. She has the right to judge contemporary art, because she is one of its creators and sees the processes taking place in it from the inside.
