“Moscow is the Third Rome”: a pivotal moment in Russian history?

Nicholas Kotar

That may seem like my own brand of Russian triumphalism, but it’s more complicated than that. Russia, throughout its history, has gone through different phases of the “Russian idea.” Sometimes Russians isolated themselves, sometimes they tried to fit in with everyone else. But always, Russians have seen themselves as the bearers of a special historical calling, whatever that may be.

The Unifier: St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco

A talk delivered at Sretensky Monastery for the ten-year anniversary of the restoration of Eucharistic unity in the Russian Orthodox Church

Archpriest Victor Potapov

The saint loved with intense fervency his native land, its history, and its sacred shrines. He was filled with profound anguish over Russia’s enslavement to antichristian forces and was completely irreconcilable with the godless government. Nevertheless, love for his earthly fatherland did not limit his archpastoral service to care only for his own people.

The Truth is Life

Fr. James Guirguis

The Real Rasputin?: A Look at His Admirers’ Revisionist History

Dmitry P. Anashkin

For us, a different question is important — why has a movement appeared for this person’s canonization and what are the arguments, both for and against? This discussion is unavoidable in order to develop a firm position on such a complex question and so as not to fall under the influence of pseudo-ecclesial agitators and, in the final equation, to not do harm to our own spiritual state.

“The Tragedy of a Hundred Years Ago Cannot Be Repeated”

Protopriest Andrei Sommer

Orthodox Christianity teaches that a person finds happiness and meaning only in God. But this ideal can be replaced with the notion of service to another god, in this case, revolution. Devoting one’s life to revolution might at first bring a degree of satisfaction, but in the end delivers sorrow and tragedy both to the revolutionary and to his family and entire nation.

From the History of the Japanese Mission
