This classic study of the late twentieth century is published for the first time in one volume, without censorship and abridgements. This universally acclaimed book contains a unique account, based on authentic historical sources, of all eleven Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church from the establishment of patriarchy in Russia to its abolition by Peter the Great. The scholar-historian vividly and in detail, with the application of the most important sources, tells about the life, deeds and characters of the second, after the tsars, persons of the Russian state. Under each of the patriarchs the country was different, each was involved in the most important ecclesiastical, political, social and cultural processes. The first patriarchs suffered the harsh trials of the Great Ruin and Distemper, the fall of the Moscow kingdom and the birth of Great Russia. Their successors faced the "rebellious age" of popular uprisings, severe wars, the Schism of the Russian Church, the strengthening and expansion of the state, the great life changes that turned Russia into a great power. All of this passed literally through the heart of the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, without whose participation not a single important event in the history of Russia was accomplished.
