This book is dedicated to the memory of Nadezhda Alexandrovna Pavlovich (1895-1980), an amazing person, Russian poet and publicist, spiritual writer and memoirist, faithful daughter of the Orthodox Church. In a difficult time of trials and persecution of the Church, she managed not only to maintain firmness of spirit and sincere faith, but also, being a creative person, to make her own contribution to Orthodox theology and hagiography, church history and spiritual poetry. The reader will be convinced of this by reading in this edition her memoirs about the inhabitants and elders of the Optina Hermitage, about the role of the holy monastery in the spiritual life of Russia in the XNUMXth - early XNUMXth centuries, the unique detailed biography of the St. Japan, Archbishop Nikolai (Kasatkin), and also "The Conqueror of Death" is a subtle reading of the Holy Scriptures; in an atmosphere of atheistic terror, when it was impossible to buy the Bible, and its storage and citation guaranteed a real camp term, the manuscript of Nadezhda Alexandrovna was distributed "from hand to hand" in typewritten copies among believers; many clergy often used it in their sermons.
