The story of 30 nuns, imprisoned for Christ, who refused to work for the Soviet regime and the miraculous events surrounding their witness to the truth. Originally published in English in “Russia's Catacomb Saints” by I. M. Andreyev, Fr. Seraphim Rose, and Fr. Herman Podmoshensky. “We can work, but we do not wish to work for the regime of Antichrist and we shall not work even though they might kill us for this." -READ "Russia's Catacomb Saints" here: http://russiascatacombsaints.blogspot.com/ -MORE images of the known icon of the Nuns of Shamordino: https://orthodoxwiki.org/Nuns_of_Shamordino -FIND an Orthodox parish and monastery near you: https://orthodoxyinamerica.org/ _______ From “Russia's Catacomb Saints”: "But without a definition of the category of your inability to work, they will send you to extraordinarily difficult labor." "All the same, we will not work whether it be difficult or easy labors." "Why?" I asked in astonishment. "Because we do not wish to work for the regime of Antichrist." “We can work, but we do not wish to work for the regime of Antichrist and we shall not work even though they might kill us for this." Though prisoners, they were spiritually free. No one in the Soviet Union had such freedom of worship as they. What their example did to instill religious faith in thousands of prisoners and guards there at Vorkuta, I cannot begin to describe. Later on, when I had the opportunity as a locker-room attendant for the MVD men to talk with some of the more hardened Russian Communists about religion, not one failed to mention the Miracle of the Nuns. ______ Orthodox Wisdom is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.

Komunizmus a fašizmus je rovnaké totalitné zlo. Komunizmus však nebol, na rozdiel od fašizmu, nikdy dôsledne odsúdený. No až keď si, biblicky povedané, namočíte prsty v krvi jeho obeti, pochopíte jeho hrôzy, hovorí spisovateľ a dokumentarista Peter Juščák. Ten dlhodobo mapuje osudy tisícok Slovákov, ktorí sa prakticky okamžite po oslobodzovaní Červenou armádou ocitli v sovietskych koncentrákoch.Mená ako Osvienčim, Treblinka, Dachau či Mauthausen pozná asi každý z nás. Sú to totiž synonymá zla. Pojmy ako Kolyma či Vorkuta však zrejme väčšine ľudí vôbec nič nehovoria. Ide pritom o obdobu nacistických koncentračných táborov - sovietske Gulagy. V nich končili - a často doslova i fyzicky skončili, celé milióny nevinných obyvateľov Sovietskeho zväzu, ale následne aj jeho satelitov - vrátane Československa. V týchto sovietskych koncentrákoch - známych ako Gulagy, tak prakticky okamžite po oslobodzovaní Slovenska Červenou armádou skončili i cele tisícky našich vlastných spoluobčanov. "Oslobodenie Červenou armádou trvalo 30 minút, potom prišli deportácie do Gulagov," hovorí spisovateľ Peter Juščák. Na východnom Slovensku išlo podľa neho o plošné deportácie na princípe kolektívnej viny. Oficiálne čísla zmapované historikmi z Ústavu pamäti národa hovoria o vyše 7. tisíckach občanov ČSR. V tomto prípade ide len o oficiálne čísla, v realite ich bolo oveľa viac, hovorí Juščák, ktorý sa tejto téme dlhodobo venuje a odhaduje, že v sovietskych Gulagoch skončilo minimálne 10 tisíc Slovákov, ktorých neraz jedinou vinou bola veľmi pružná a právne nesmierne gumená kvalifikácie "Nepriateľ Sovietskeho zväzu". V Gulagoch sa tak dokonca ocitla aj väzenkyňa nacistického vyhladzovacieho tábora Osvienčim, pripomína Juščák - autor knihy "Desaťkrát Gulag" a ďalších diel mapujúcich osudy našich spoluobčanov v sovietskych gulagoch. Sovietska štátna moc, presnejšie stalinova politická polícia NKVD si vytipovala človeka, tohto človeka potom doslova zobrali na ulici a vytipovali si ho preto, že podľa nich to mohol byť dobrý nositeľ trestu. Potom ho väznili - a všemožnými - i veľmi násilnými a krutými metódami ho vypočúvali dovtedy, kým neprijal celý ich scenár fiktívneho trestanca. Scenáre boli pripravené, ale chýbali im ľudia a tak si ich proste - neraz veľmi brutálnymi metódami, našli trebárs i na ulici, hovorí Peter Juščák.Čo bol dôvod týchto masových represálií, ako fungovala sovietska totalitná moc na oslobodenom území ČSR a aké osudy mali Slováci zavlečení do sovietskych koncentrákov? Vieme si vôbec predstaviť, aké podoby zla mala sovietska totalita a aké osudy mali príbuzní a deti odvlečených do ZSSR? No a prečo o tejto téme prakticky vôbec nič nevieme, neučíme to naše deti v školách a ani sa nestala témou našej kolektívnej pamäte ako memento pred hrôzami totality - tentoraz však nie hnedej, ale červenej? A prečo - keď odsudzujeme fašistické hnedé zlo, nevieme - a nechceme, odsúdiť rovnako tak hrôzostrašné a kruto neľudské dôsledky zla červeného, teda komunistického? Počúvate Ráno Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

Gulag: History, Camps, Conditions, Economy, Effect, Facts, Quotes (2003)To watch the video of this interview visit- https://youtu.be/aGeHPwgLm6Y   Published on Aug 13, 2016The Gulag was the government agency that administered the main Soviet forced labour camp systems during the Stalin era, from the 1930s until the 1950s. About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/140... The first such camps were created in 1918 and the term is widely used to describe any forced labor camp in the USSR.[1] While the camps housed a wide range of convicts, from petty criminals to political prisoners, large numbers were convicted by simplified procedures, such as NKVD troikas and other instruments of extrajudicial punishment (the NKVD was the Soviet secret police). The Gulag is recognized as a major instrument of political repression in the Soviet Union, based on Article 58 (RSFSR Penal Code). The term is also sometimes used to describe the camps themselves, particularly in the West. "GULAG" was the acronym for Гла́вное управле́ние лагере́й (Glavnoye upravleniye lagerey), the "Main Camp Administration". It was the short form of the official name Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й и коло́ний (Glavnoye upravleniye ispravityelno-trudovykh lagerey i koloniy), the "Main Administration of Corrective Labor Camps and Labor Settlements". It was administered first by the GPU, later by the NKVD and in the final years by the MVD, the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The first corrective labour camps after the revolution were established in 1918 (Solovki) and legalized by a decree "On creation of the forced-labor camps" on April 15, 1919. The internment system grew rapidly, reaching population of 100,000 in the 1920s and from the very beginning it had a very high mortality rate.[2] Forced labor camps continued to function outside of the agency until late 80s (Perm-36 closed in 1987). A number of Soviet dissidents described the continuation of the Gulag after it was officially closed: Anatoli Marchenko (who actually died in a camp in 1986), Vladimir Bukovsky, Yuri Orlov, Nathan Shcharansky, all of them released from the Gulag and given permission to emigrate to the West, after years of international pressure on Soviet authorities. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature, who spent eight years of Gulag incarceration, gave the term its international repute with the publication of The Gulag Archipelago in 1973. The author likened the scattered camps to "a chain of islands" and as an eyewitness described the Gulag as a system where people were worked to death.[3] Some scholars support this view,[4][5] though it is controversial, considering that with the obvious exception of the war years, a very large majority of people who entered the Gulag left alive.[6] In March 1940, there were 53 Gulag camp directorates (colloquially referred to as simply "camps") and 423 labor colonies in the USSR.[7] Today's major industrial cities of the Russian Arctic, such as Norilsk, Vorkuta, and Magadan, were originally camps built by prisoners and run by ex-prisoners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag

The fear of epidemic is all around us. The shut down has ruined the economy and put many millions out of work. It appears that the cure for coronavirus may be worse than the disease-----There has been a particular animus against church services. We are told that there really is no need to assemble bodily, yet the entire New Testament is premised upon the physical assembly of believers.----So many had already forsaken the assembly in good times, it's no wonder that most are now ready to lay off worship gatherings in fear.----Believers' responses during the epidemic do not bode well for the coming times of severe persecution.----In the Soviet slave labor camp Vorkuta, John Noble wrote, believers risked execution to meet in secret to celebrate the Lord's Supper. In China today, tens of millions of Christians continue to meet in forests and private homes, in defiance of criminal penalties imposed by their Communist Chinese tyrants.----All throughout Christianity, believers have met when it was illegal to do so, because the church meeting is so important.----Besides, Jesus promises to meet with us together- Perhaps too many of us don't believe that anymore.----But recall on the first Easter Sunday, the disciples were afraid to meet. The doors where shut, the Gospels tell us, for fear of the Jews. What they had just done to Jesus, His people feared, they might next do to them-----But Jesus had exhorted them not to fear. Sure, He said, they would be persecuted, and some of them would be put to death. But He had promised, -not an hair of your head shall perish------The reason given, is that Jesus has solemnly promised to raise up all His people unto everlasting life in the end-

Recording and discussing the city through sound offers a vital means through which to challenge the dominant ways in which architecture and cities are represented. In this episode, we begin to explore the possibilities of audio-only urban representation.

Ik tikte Vorkuta in Goolge Maps in en struinde door de straten van dit uitstervende stadje boven de poolcirkel in Rusland. Google bezocht het stadje op een zonnige dag in het voorjaar. Aan de kant van de weg vieze opgehoopte sneeuw. Een paar mensen in winterjassen uit de vorige eeuw. Een enkele auto geparkeerd langs de met gaten gevulde weg.

Mis saab sõprusest, armastusest, halastusest ja truudusest - kui võtta inimestelt vabadus ja väärikus? Romaani tegevus toimub Marimaal Lavra külas ja Vorkuta vangilaagris läbi kolme põlvkonna, põimides ühte sõjas purunenud saatused, maride ahastuse oma kaduva rahva pärast ja uskumatu armastusloo. See on haarav lugu võimuihast ja kättemaksust, ühe väikerahva saatusest, kaduvast maailmast ning ööliblikana valguse poole lendavast inimhingest. (Katja Kettu. Ööliblikas. Kristi Aule / Rando Tammik.)
