Beschreibung

The People's Patriarch tells the dramatic story of Patriarch Tikhon (Bellavin), who became head of Russia's largest religious body, the Russian Orthodox Church, at the same moment as the Bolshevik Revolution. As militant atheists, the Bolsheviks sought to destroy the Church and eradicate religion, and castigated Tikhon as a "counterrevolutionary" for his valiant efforts to defend his faith. Utilizing previously classified documents from the top Bolshevik leadership and secret police, the book tells the story of Tikhon's heroic resistance to a totalitarian regime and provides an entirely new perspective on the Russian Revolution.
