Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873–1950) was a Russian writer and publicist, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize. He was nicknamed the "Orthodox writer" for his numerous texts on Russian spirituality. While in exile, "not for a moment, in his spiritual fervor, did he cease to think about Russia and be tormented by its misfortunes."

The novella "Pilgrimage" was written by the author in Paris and was particularly popular among Russian émigrés. In the late 1980s, it was successfully published in Russia. In it, Ivan Shmelev addresses memories of his lost homeland, sadly and warmly describes his distant childhood, which he was fortunate to spend in pre-revolutionary Moscow, and recounts the way of life in those days.

The three-part story tells how little Vanya, together with his father's worker, the carpenter Gorkin, makes a pilgrimage from his parents' home to Sergiev Posad, where they meet the famous elder Barnabas of Gethsemane, and to the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius.
