Abstract "Set in the framework of Czesław Miłosz's classic The Captive Mind, this is the story of Russia's descent into authoritarianism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the role of the Russian Orthodox Church in that descent, and a courageous priest's moral struggles to preserve freedom"-- Provided by publisher.
