Patriarch Hermogenes is one of the key figures in our history. In the era of the Great Troubles of the early seventeenth century, when Moscow’s power almost disappeared from the map of the world, it was his will that helped keep Russian statehood from final collapse. And it may very well be that neither the First nor the Second Zemstvo militias, nor the liberation of Moscow from the Poles, nor the ascension to the throne of the Romanovs, would have happened if this decrepit old man had not withstood the blows of fate that befall him. For a whole year, it alone was an impregnable stronghold – the only one in Russia that the enemies could not take. “The firm Adamant” and “the new confessor”, “the unshakable pillar” of the Orthodox faith – so the authors of historical works of the XVII century call him. But in the biography of Hermogenes himself, very much remained not clarified to the end. Disputes between historians are conducted about the most important facts in his fate, questioning the interpretation of his most important actions. Therefore, the book offered to the attention of the reader is not just another biography of the great elder, but a full-fledged historical study, the author of which bases his conclusions on a thorough analysis of all historical sources that have survived to date.
