St Joseph of Optina

His repose day was today. Unfortunately this great Optina Elder, minutely supervised by Elder Amvrosy himself for 3 decades, is often overlooked due to his Feast falling on the same day as the Translation of Relics of St Nicholas the Wonderworker. Today, we finally are adding him to the Saints and ...

Re: Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin[1883-1954]

This is marvelous to have all my assumptions about Ivan Ilyin CONFIRMED ! I knew that article was way off base, but am not equipped to refute it. Thanks for doing so ! Oh, now i see better what you meant by saying that Ilyin thought Russia should be like Franco's Spain. Appreciate the explanation. ...
