Sergius of Radonezh. Borisov N.

The new edition in the series “Life of wonderful people” is the biography of one of the greatest Russian saints - the Monk Sergius, the Radonezh miracle worker. “The abbot of the Russian land” called him during his lifetime. But the life of Sergius was by no means closed in the walls of the Trinity Monastery he created; He is rightfully considered a major politician of the Battle of Kulikovo. So what was it a person? What role did he play in the history of Russia? What were his moral ideals and political views? How did his relationship with the “powers” ​​have developed? The author of the book, the famous historian Nikolai Sergeyevich Borisov, on the basis of a long -term and scrupulous study of all preserved sources restores the true, rather than the legendary biography of our great compatriot.
