 I foresee the re-establishment of a mighty Russia -- one yet stronger and more powerful [than she is today]. Remember that it is upon the bones of martyrs just such as these that a new Rus' will be erected, as on a firm foundation; and yet, she will be fashioned after the old model and firm in her faith in Christ [our] God, and in the Holy Trinity! And the Church will be as one, in accordance with the testament of Prince St. Vladimir! The Russian people have ceased to understand just what Rus' is: she is the footstool of the Lord's Throne! The Russian must realize this and thank God for the fact that he is a Russian.

Holy and Righteous Ioann of Kronstadt

Communing with great Russian literature (and culture in general), with its eternal humaneness and principled values, can be but beneficial for each person in expanding his horizons; and in those people who are capable of thought, it will even tend, in the final analysis, to stimulate them toward justice and liberty.
