Among Russian thinkers of that time were many bright personalities and, even more so, unique, original thinkers capable of deep and unconventional thought, masterfully wielding the pen, well-educated and widely erudite: monks and princes, boyars and clerks, metropolitans and servicemen... Those whose works revealed to the world the great mysteries of Russian thought and the mysteries of Russian faith. After all, faith and thought were united for the Russian person.
