Sergius of Radonezh

In the series "The Lives of Remarkable People," the biography of one of the greatest Russian saints – Saint Sergius, the Miracle Worker of Radonezh – is being published. He was called the "Abbot of the Russian Land" even during his lifetime. However, Sergius's life was by no means confined to the walls of the Trinity Monastery he founded; he is rightly considered a significant political figure of the Kulikovo Battle era. So, what kind of person was he? What role did he play in the history of Russia? What were his moral ideals and political views? How did his relationships with the "powerful of this world" develop? The author of the book, renowned historian Nikolai Sergeyevich Borisov, based on years of meticulous research of all surviving sources, restores the authentic, not legendary, biography of our great countryman.
