Protopope Avvakum Petrov (or Avvakum Petrovich, 1620-1682) belongs to the most vivid figures of Russian history. With extraordinary power he revealed to the world those qualities that reflected the Russian man in all the diversity of his character - indestructible will, strength of spirit, passion, willingness to sacrifice for the great idea. Among other things, Avvakum - undoubtedly a brilliant writer, centuries ahead of his time. Written by him in Pustozersk imprisonment autobiographical "Life" - a genre previously unthinkable in Russian literature! - is one of the most powerful works not only of Russian, but also of world literature. Presented in the series "ZhZL" book about him in many ways unusual. First of all, because it belongs to the Old Believer historian and gives exactly the Old Believer, in many ways unfamiliar and unexpected for the untrained reader's view of the biography of the "fire-palmed" protopope, and the church schism of the second half of the XVII century, and the entire Russian history of this and subsequent time.
