Description

For many decades, in educational and scholarly literature, historical figures were given a modest role: the events were explained by the development of the productive forces and production relations, class struggle, and other factors. There was no place for specific people in it. But in reality, the history of Russia is richly animated by statesmen and public figures, commanders, and spiritual mentors. All of them are the “living face of Russian history,” and without them history is merely a list of events.
A joint project of “Radio Russia” and the Russian Orthodox Church. Project director: Archbishop Mark of Yegoryevsk (Golovkov), Deputy Chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society.
