Tales of Mother Frosya about the Diveyevo Monastery (1989)

Сказы матушки Фроси о монастыре Дивеевском

The last Diveyevo nun, Mother Margarita, tells not only the historical, but, most importantly, the spiritual truth - about how the revolution was carried out, how the monastery of St. Seraphim was ruined, how a handful of “Seraphim novices” found the strength to resist the grandiose destructive machine for decades. This ruthless Moloch physically destroyed tens of millions of people, and spiritually almost the entire country, crippled future generations, but could not do anything with the nun, whose spiritual strength and beauty amaze and teach the viewer even today.
