About the book: 1905 / From the distant, hoary antiquity, from our historical past, we have inherited a lot of sad and difficult things in different areas state, church and national public life. But perhaps most of the dark relics of antiquity remain in our country in that area which, by its essence, by its internal character, should be completely free from everything that only bears the stamp of cruelty and violence. We mean the area of ​​faith, the area of ​​religious beliefs. We want to remind you of the fate of the so-called monastery prisoners, that is, persons who had the misfortune for certain offenses or crimes against the church and religion to be imprisoned in a monastery prison.
