In the book written at the end of the 20th century, which has already become a classic, the story of all eleven heads of the Russian Orthodox Church is based on authentic historical sources, from the establishment of the patriarchate in Russia to its abolition by Peter the Great. The first complete, unabridged edition vividly and in detail, with the inclusion of important sources, narrates about the lives, deeds, and characters of the second most important figures in the Russian state after the tsars. Each of the patriarchs lived in a different era, each was involved in important church, political, social, and cultural processes.
The first patriarchs faced the severe trials of the Time of Troubles. Their successors awaited the "century of rebellion" with popular uprisings, severe wars, the strengthening and expansion of the state, and rapid life changes. This book tells the story of the first six Russian patriarchs. It includes the much-suffering Job, the indulgent Ignatius, the unyielding Germogen, the "great sovereign" Philaret, the quiet shepherds Joasaph and Joseph.
The book is intended for readers interested in the history of Russia, the Russian Orthodox Church, and Russian culture.
