"Great and holy are the ideals of the Russian people," explains Dostoevsky in the "Diary of a Writer" (Diary of a Writer for 1876 February. XXII, 42). “Russia is great in its humility,” he writes elsewhere (The Brothers Karamazov. XIV, 286). Pathetic critics ridiculed these expressions as if they were general and not definite, but they were not. The author clothed them in a very definite dress and explained both in which properties of the soul the predominant qualities of the Russian person are reflected, and in what the dignity of his religiosity is expressed, and what are his world aspirations and aspirations, and what is his attitude towards various people and nations. ... The whole world also has the right to expect that the subjugated Russian Church, represented by its highest spiritual rulers, will raise its voice against the red persecution. But in powerlessness and in captivity, the subjugated Russian Church, the voice of courageous shepherds will not reach from the prison cellars. And those who have taken over the helm of spiritual rule are either silent, or, worse, allow red threats to compel in their name the faint-hearted praise of the power of the red persecutors. May the Lord God be their Judge! Instead of freeing the enslaved Orthodox peoples, the Russian Church itself fell into such an enslaved state, which our co-religion tribes did not experience either under the rule of the Mohammedans, or under the rule of Western heretics, or our ancestors under the yoke of the Tatars.
