Great people of the Russian Church

The greatest people of the Russian Church, those who made it infinitely many for it, those whose labors the church building acquired brilliance and splendor are little known to the educated public. Who are they talking about? Who knows? Sergius of Radonezh, Seraphim of Sarov, Andrei Rublev ... Perhaps, John of Kronstadt. Yes, these are truly big saints. But none of them headed the church body. And who will be remembered by our contemporary, even if interested in his native history, from the first hierarchs? In the infinitely long row of the metropolitans and patriarchs who ruled the clergy of pre -Petrine Rus", perhaps only Nikon will pop up. And Nikon occupied the Patriarchal Department for only six years. Meanwhile, the lords, who for decades possessed the championship in the largest church of the Eurasian space, as if dissolved in the shade. In the best case, one of some bright scene, one word stuck in the memory of the descendants, delivers one or another reputation to their personalities. But rather - nothing: silence, blurry silhouettes. Historian Dmitry Volodykhin seeks to correct such a state of affairs, offering historiosophical portraits of great figures of the Russian Orthodox Church
