With the blessing of Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga VLADIMIR “And only the temple remained for us the only corner of Holy Rus' where you feel warmed and caressed.” Holy Rus': its people, its churches, endless fields, ancient forests; the joy of the holidays, the smell of incense, Easter cakes... Joy and sadness - is Holy Rus' alive? The one that the soul remembers and for which the soul seeks. The heroes of V. Nikiforov-Volgin answer this question, answer with quiet love and deep faith. The book “Childhood Memories” is intended for family reading. This publication was prepared in the year that marks the 105th anniversary of the birth and 55 years of the death of the writer.
