The new issue of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to the famous spiritual leader of the Russian Old Believers, Archpriest Avvakum, a man who endured much suffering and ultimately gave his life for the opportunity to believe the way he thought was right. What Avvakum and other Old Believers fought for may seem outdated and irrelevant to our lives today, but in fact, this is not so. Avvakum fought for his right to live the way he thought was right, for his faith, for his dignity. And regardless of what god we believe in or do not believe in today, what rituals we observe or do not observe, the lives of those who did not want to submit to what was imposed from above, who fought to the end, who could be killed but not broken, will still, as always, be important and relevant for us.
