Based on archival materials, the author of the book reconstructs the history of the city, little-known pages of its life, starting from revolutionary events and the Civil War to the beginning of Khrushchev’s persecutions. Particular attention is focused on the tragic fates of Orthodox clergy, most of whom confessed themselves to be Christians before the godless authorities, for which they were persecuted, suffered bonds and martyrdom. Many facts and circumstances from the life of the clergy of Greater Yalta are described for the first time. The book helps to understand the grandiose scale of the historical drama that befell our Fatherland, as well as to see the greatness of the spiritual feat of those who, despite everything, remained faithful to Christ and His Church.
