Keepers of the Faith. On the Life of the Church in Soviet Times

The twentieth century became for Russia a time of testing of true faith and brought the Church a host of new martyrs and confessors. But besides them there were also thousands of Christians who carried the Orthodox faith through decades of atheism. This book contains interviews with precisely such people. These are priests and laypeople who directly faced persecution or lived outwardly calm lives. What unites them is the main thing — Christ, faith in Whom they preserved during the Soviet years.
