The Life of Saint Fyodor Ushakov Retold for Children

It is commonly believed that Orthodox saints in their earthly lives were humble people, living quietly and sometimes even inconspicuously. That is why it is so surprising to learn that some well-known historical figures are recognized as saints. One such... saint is the righteous warrior Fyodor Ushakov. Few even know that this greatest Russian naval commander is also an Orthodox saint. Throughout his life, he never lost a single naval battle, and during these battles, he did not lose a single ship. But Fyodor Ushakov's main talent was his ability to truly love each person, regardless of their rank and status. He always cared for the sailors serving on his ships with a paternal concern. After all, during the era of the sailing fleet, the captain on a ship was a formidable figure, a master of human destinies.
