Who and why were the saints in Russia? How did the Russian concepts of holiness differ from the Byzantine? How did the ideas about holiness over time change? How did the canonization of the saints take place? How did the local canonization differ from the general? Why is it difficult to strictly determine the circle of canonized saints of the Russian Church? Why are the saints, the former at one time among the most revered, are fading into the background? Why can a saint be crossed out of the list of canonized, and then again restored in them? What serves as the basis for church canonization and is it mandatory for the imperfection of relics? What are the ranks of holiness? Georgy Fedotov answers these and many other questions, who defines Russian holiness as follows: “The path for everyone, marked by the milestones of the heroic asceticism of the few.”
