“Our Task Is to Spread the Light of Orthodoxy, Its Power and Spirit”: Literary and Publicistic Heritage of Archpriest Yevgeny Kondratiev (1868-1938)
The author examines the literary and journalistic heritage of Archpriest Yevgenii Kondratyev, who carried out his pastoral ministry within the current St. Petersburg diocese. On the basis of numerous publications belonging to Father Yevgenii, posted both on the pages of periodicals and in the release of several booklets, the author concludes about the great contribution of this clergyman into the church and social life of St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century. Paying a certain tribute to the memory of the Christian pastor, who accepted a martyr’s death for Christ in 1938, the author of the article draws attention to the insufficient study of the heritage of Archpriest Yevgeny Kondratiev and takes initial steps to fill this gap.
