About the product A people who have lost their faith, rejected moral ideals and do not rely on the Providence of God, will have to go through many troubles and terrible trials. And only by being united in the Spirit can he be reborn and restore the country to its former greatness. In this publication, Boris Korchevnikov, the general producer of the Spas TV channel, talks about Russia in the 16th-17th centuries: the raids of the Crimean khans, the Livonian War, the oprichnina, the split of the Church, the coming to the reign of Peter I. Church fathers and holy ascetics were with the people even in the darkest times … And the main strength of our people is uniting Orthodoxy. The book contains topics and questions: • What is the Russian character? • Was there democracy in Russia? • «Slavery», «laziness» and «imperial politics»: what did foreigners write about Russia? • When grace leaves: about the origins of European revolutions. • Both in battle and in prayer: the life path of Russian ascetics. The spiritual history of Russia is inseparable from the material history, and therefore it is so important to read this book.

The return of Russian lands — and the fight against the Protestant West that has lost its faith. What’s the bottom line? Russia, which has approached the shores of the Pacific Ocean, in the 17th century will become the only country in the world for round-the-clock Liturgy. Having lost herself, she will find her way again and will preserve the Truth about God — Orthodoxy. …
