In the forests (a set of 2 books). Melnikov P.I.

The alluring forests gave the Volga region, hiding in their tracts schismatic monastery with their hidden life. The current Volga is free... Real, original, Old Testament Rus', violent in fun, unbridled in sins, agile in repentance. There is a place for everything here - and drunkenness, and the ease of morals, and savage. But all the brighter, pure brilliance shines true love, genuine faith, the beauty of the human soul.
