Faithful to God and the Tsar: The Life of Saint Martyr Eugene Botkin

«He came into the world for the sake of people», — wrote about Dr. Botkin. Eugene Sergeyevich Botkin, the court physician of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, never lived for himself; in the hospital, at the front, in service to the Royal Family, he devoted all his strength and love to other people. And throughout his life, he confirmed the truth he himself wrote about in one of his letters: «If a person's soul is good and pure, it sounds so wonderfully, so marvelously, like no other most magnificent music.» The life of Saint Martyr Eugene Botkin is based on the memories of contemporaries, archival documents, letters of Saint Eugene and his loved ones; many details and photographs are published for the first time.
