The Mystics of Russia: Mystics, Sects, and the Quest for the Divine
From the early Slavic pagan traditions to the hidden spiritual currents of the Soviet era, Russian Mystics offers an unprecedented journey into the depths of Russia’s mystical and esoteric heritage. This book explores the lives, teachings, and practices of wandering startsy, visionary monks, radical ascetics, and extraordinary figures such as Grigori Rasputin, Pavel Florensky, and Nikolai Berdyaev. It examines mystical sects like the Khlysts and Skoptsy, the influence of Theosophy and Western esotericism, and the endurance of spiritual life under persecution. Combining historical rigor with vivid narrative, this volume illuminates how mysticism shaped Russian society, philosophy, and culture, revealing a spiritual landscape at once enigmatic, compelling, and profoundly human. Accessible yet scholarly, it is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the power of inner life, the dynamics of faith under adversity, and the enduring legacy of Russian mystical thought.
