2021 Reprint of the 1948 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This pioneer anthology of Russian spiritual life deals with the lives and teachings of saints and other outstanding and influential figures of the Russian Orthodox Church from the eleventh to the twentieth centuries. It was compiled by Professor Fedotov, formerly of Paris and after Professor of Church History at the Russian Theological Seminary in New York. The economic, social, political, and intellectual aspects of Russian development have attracted lasting attention, but the spiritual side has been too often neglected. Yet those interested in obtaining a properly balanced picture of Russian growth may be well advised to acquaint themselves with the material here presented herein. Contents: 
St. Theodosius: the first representative of Kenoticism 
St. Servius: the first hermit and mystic 
St. Nilus Sordky: the teacher of spiritual prayer 
Avvakum: the conservative rebel 
St. Tychon: a westernizing Kenotic 
St. Seraphim: mystic and prophet 
"The Pilgrim" on mental prayer 
John of Cronstadt: a genius of prayer 
Father Yelchaninov: the teacher of self-examination
