Mitred Archpriest Georgy Taylov (1914–2014) was a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church and a confessor of the faith who served in the priesthood for 77 years.
He was born in Riga, graduated from the Riga Theological Seminary in 1937 and was ordained a deacon, then a priest, and served in parishes in Latvia.
In 1941–1944, at his own request and with the blessing of the Exarch of the Baltics, Metropolitan Sergius (Voskresensky), he served in the Pskov Orthodox Mission in the occupied territories of the USSR. He was awarded the Order of the Mission.
After completing the Mission’s activities, he returned to Latvia and was assigned to the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in the village of Korovsk, Pytalovsky District (currently Pskov Region). On October 30, 1944, Fr. Georgy was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in a labor camp. He was released in 1955, served in various parishes in Latvia, and in 1992 he headed the community of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Ogre. In 2001, a new church was consecrated, built through the efforts of Fr. Georgy and the community.
Fr. Georgy's memoirs about his years of imprisonment, as well as some of his other texts, are included in this collection. This spiritual legacy of the priest is at the same time an important historical testimony about the events of the 20th century.
The collection is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the 20th century.
