Optina Meetings. I will not die, but I will live…

"Optina Meetings" is a collection of stories and conversations recorded by the author over different years of life. The book shows how a person transforms when they embark on the path of truth, how each hero travels this path, and how the world responds to the changes in a person. All these people are united by the Optina Monastery - a place whose significance is invaluable in the spiritual life of Russia. Each story or conversation is an attempt to authentically convey all the joy and unity experienced by those who have come to God.
