In this book, the reader will find a biography of Archpriest Theodore Andreev, compiled by his daughters based on materials from the family archive, as well as information collected from various public and private archives. Father Fedor was a talented student and then a teacher at the Moscow Academy of Arts, after the revolution of 1917 – one of the founders of the Petrograd Theological Institute, an uncompromising fighter against renovationism and one of the brightest figures in the Josephite movement. Being an outstanding pastor and preacher in Petrograd in the 1920s, he enjoyed extraordinary love and veneration of the church people. Father Fedor was arrested twice and released due to a fatal heart disease, from which he soon died. “Petrograd has not seen such a nationwide funeral since the funeral of F. M. Dostoevsky,” wrote an eyewitness. The book gives a vivid description of church Petrograd and a gallery of many active church figures of that mournful and heroic time.
