IV. VIDEOS in Russian

wpeB.jpg (2503 bytes)VR-7.  THE CHURCH:
Orthodox Church Life in Russia Today
 
TIME: 1 hr.   1987.   ISBN 1-881211-32-0     PRICE: $24.95
 

DESCRIPTION:

This is an extremely fascinating exploration of various aspects of the present-day life of the Orthodox Church in Russia, as the Church was seeking to re-establish itself on the eve of its Millennium celebration.  The video considers the role of the Church in traditional Russian life, and the disruption of that vital element of Russian culture by the Communists, and their desecration and destruction of holy places. 

Many very interesting things are depicted, including:

bulletbuilding a new village church;
bulletraising children according to Orthodox traditions in Vladimir;
bulletthe Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra Men's Monastery;
bulletextensive interviews with iconographer, Priest-Monk Fr. Zenon, and showing him at work at his home in the Pskov-Pechory Monastery and at the St. Daniel Monastery in Moscow, where he did much iconographic work as the new Church Center was being reconstructed;
bulletlife at the Pskov-Pechory Monastery;
bulletthe Theophany procession [krestnii khod] and open-air Great Blessing of Water in Suzdal;
bulletreconstruction of the Danilov Monastery in Moscow;
bulleta very lengthy segment (15 mins.) on life at the Piukhtitsy Dormition Women's Monastery;
bulletMetropolitan Aleksei at St. Xenia's tomb;
bulletand the Holy Friday and Pascha processions at the Pochaev Monastery.

Besides being of such great interest to Americans, for recent Russian emigrés in America, who grew up under the Communists, and who absorbed the Communists' negative attitude towards the Church, this video also can serve as a corrective influence to the Communist propaganda about the Orthodox Faith, potentially enabling them to claim their rightful inheritance of their Russian Orthodox Faith. 

[Russian production. In Russian; a printed English translation is in progress.]
