Summary/Abstract: It could truly be said that with the overthrow of Czarist Russia in 1917, Holy Russia, with its long tradition of Orthodox spirituality, saw its end. After that, all that was left was a communist wasteland. And yet, much has survived in Russia that today directly reminds of that Christian past: in this sense, the most visible is the ubiquitous presence of beautiful (but closed and unused) Orthodox churches; the most spiritual are icons, which can be found in abundance in certain churches (conserved as museums) and galleries; the most important thing is the continued existence (in a sadly shortened and suppressed form) of the Orthodox Church itself; and the most touching is the continued attachment of many Russians to the Orthodox religion (including a certain proportion of younger people).
