Foreword.
Holy Russia today.
Before sunset, the heavens are ablaze with the majesty of the beauty of God in the ether. So before the sunset of Christianity, the Lord is pleased to show the splendor of God-loving people to modern people. He shows a new image of martyrdom for Christ, when people fall victim to senseless anger, rage for the great goodness of God. A few Easters ago, the Lord suddenly called three Optina monks, whose souls were full of the Jesus Prayer, as if pouring out and fulfilling all grace, indescribable joy in human language.
In the Volga region, in the deserted village of Zharki, on the very New Year's Eve of 1994, another young righteous man of pure soul died as a martyr. Like the New Martyrs of Optina, Hieromonk Nestor became like the venerable honor of his beloved Optina brethren, who included Father Nestor in their ranks. With a fiery soul, the young desert-loving hieromonk-ascetic fell victim to spiritually devastated and drunken sub-humanity, which is rampant, like the once bloodthirsty hordes, again staggers everywhere in Russia, looking for her best sons, "whom to devour", and their goal is to destroy Russia. But the Lord accepts this almost organized ritual extermination of innocent victims as a precious confessional pledge and in return sends special grace to help on new spiritual arable land and crops, so that young Holy Russia rises for the purity of the Orthodox faith, for the Truth, for Christ!
The proposed experience of the biography is not the final version of the life of Father Nestor. Much has not been said, not worked out. These are sketches. This is a preliminary attempt to look into the soul of young Holy Russia.
