Father Alexander Men

Father Alexander Men (1935—1990) belongs to the number of outstanding people in Russia in the second half of the 20th century. It can be said that he became the spiritual shepherd of a whole generation and in the eyes of a vast number of people was a moral leader of the country. A rare understanding of another's soul was a special gift of Father Alexander. His warm love was felt by each of his spiritual children, among whom is the author of this book.
The moral authority of Father Alexander at some point became stronger than the power. He was killed precisely at the moment when he had the opportunity to preach to millions of people.
This book tells about the life and tragic death of Father Alexander Men. According to the testimonies of many contemporaries, his life manifested the evangelical ideal and therefore forever entered the history of the Church. The apostolic mission he accepted far surpassed the duration of his brief life. For his preaching, the fiery word about the living Christ is addressed not only to his contemporaries but also to future generations of people.
