The world-famous stavropegial monastery near Kozelsk city in the Kaluga province, better known as The Holy Vvedensky Optina of deserts, became famous for its abbots – wise elders, to whom the pilgrims bowed, as with all huge Russian empire, and from abroad. Been here too eminent Russian citizens, future great writers, for example, Nikolai Gogol, Fedor Dostoevsky and others.
The elders of Optina Monastery were able to console, guide on the way true, predict what awaits a person, what he should fear and where to direct their strength and will, were able to cure the soul, and hence the body of the mourner. Pilgrims coming to Optina deserts listened and even recorded for some elders their prophecies regarding the future of Russia and the world as a whole, for example, by such a gift the seer became famous the abbot of the monastery Bartholomew.
He said a lot about the future of Russia, but today for us Especially important and interesting are the words of this wise elder regarding today’s difficult political situation in the world. But her predicted Bartholomew, saying that many years will pass and will happen terrible war in the east, terrible in the south, and the west will not go around it’s dashing. Heaven will light up, and a lot of people will end their lives on land, only Mother Russia will come out of this fire unscathed. The evil nonhumans who will rule the world will put many peoples on knees, but not Russia. She will not submit to any thieves, on the contrary, it will outlive them all and begin to live and rule itself peace, rule justly and God pleases.
So it seems that Russia has nothing to be afraid of. Of course, in no way does it promise Russians an easy and carefree life when wars will blaze all around, but the fact that our country will come out victorious in a clash with the world obscurantism that we observe today inspires hope in the heart and soothes the soul.
