The first editions spread throughout Russia and abroad and made the book Father Arseny one of the most beloved in the Orthodox world. The book is translated and published in English and Greek. It revealed the image of a saint, internally identical to the Orthodox holiness of all times, but having unique features of an ascetic of modern times. In the new edition, for the first time, the fifth part of “Love Your Neighbor” is published, transmitted to the publishers after the publication of previous editions. /// The authenticity of the events described (partially hidden by personal names) is not in doubt. In addition to the confirmations of the still living disciples of Father Arseny, there is also an internal guarantee of this authenticity - the reader’s heart joyfully believes everything described, since it is impossible not to believe - the truth is in its genuine beauty. /// Even in Samizdat typewriting, a remarkable book was widely distributed and had a very strong impact on a large circle of readers. It revealed the image of a saint of our time, intrinsically identical to the Orthodox holiness of all times, but having unique features of an ascetic of modern times. What is the peculiarity of this recent feat? First of all, in the spirit of the times. The first Christian martyrs were waiting for the imminent end of the world, but they were spiritually born in a young church, living a clean, spiritual life that did not yet know the notorious “historical sins”. If then out of twelve students one became a traitor, then the persecution of the 20th century, figuratively speaking, often only one out of twelve was left true. The terrible atmosphere of total renunciation, betrayal, betrayal, the unimaginable scale of a spiritual and historical disaster, millions of people, captivated by lies and involved in the satanic reprisals against the Church of Christ, over their people and their country - all this plunged into despondency and despair, produced a sense of doom, hopelessness, abandonment. Having lost faith in God, the formerly great, Orthodox Russia became a defenseless object for the implementation of the satanic plan of an unprecedented in the history of genocide. Civil and Patriotic War, tens of millions of victims of artificially created famine, tens of millions of innocent, painfully destroyed in countless camps and prisons. Before, the Orthodox people are soldered, accustomed to deception, theft and lies as a way of life, to violence and robbery, to fornication and debauchery, to the systematic destruction of their own children. In a devilish obscurity, seeing enemies in each other and becoming enemies, people gave their strength and life to a century-old senseless war, cruelly, ruthlessly tormenting each other. They became unable to organize their national life, forgot how to work, forgot how to love, live a family life, give birth and raise children.
