Rodzianko: An Orthodox Journey from Revolution to Millennium, 1917 to 1988.

By Larry Witham

Book Overview

Vladimir Rodzianko, a prominent Orthodox priest, is known in the Soviet Union, Europe and the US. His notoriety begins with a prominent family line that extends to the birth of the Russian nation. After his family fled the Bolshevik revolution, his career evolved from emigrant priest to Russian-language broadcaster for the BBC and finally as a ruling bishop in America. By recounting Rodzianko's life, a parallel story emerges - the story of the Russian Orthodox Church from the 1917 Revolution to the Christian Millennium there in 1988. This story concludes in June 1990 with the election of a new Russian Orthodox patriarch in the era of glasnost.
