Metropolitan Veniamin (1880-1961) was an outstanding hierarch of the Russian Church, a remarkable writer, a profound thinker-theologian, who left us a vast spiritual heritage. Having lived half his life in Imperial Russia, having lived through two revolutions from within, he was not only a spectator but also an active participant in the events: a delegate to the Local Council of 1917-1918, a bishop of the White Army, with which he emigrated in 1920, the first exarch of the Moscow Patriarchate in America.... His interlocutors: Righteous John of Kronstadt and the Optina elders, Patriarchs Tikhon, Sergius and Alexis, General Wrangel and the philosopher Berdyaev, Metropolitans Anthony (Khrapovitsky), Evlogii (Georgievsky) and Anthony Surozhsky.... In 1948 Vladyka returned to his homeland, occupied various pulpits, and ended his life in the Dormition Monastery of Pskov-Pechersk. In the biography written by R. Prosvetov, historian, one of the organizers of the Veniaminov Readings, we see before us an uncompromising, reverent before God and God's Providence, a warrior of Christ burning in spirit.
