Natalia Leonidovna loved to talk about what Chesterton called “simply Christianity”: not about retreating into the “piety of the holy fathers,” but about Christian life and Christian feelings here and now, in those circumstances and in the place where we are placed. About Chesterton and Sayers, she once wrote: “There was nothing in them that turns away from “religious life” - no importance, no sweetness, no intolerance. And now, when the “leaven of the Pharisees” is again gaining strength, their voice is very important, it will outweigh much.” Today these words can fully be attributed to her and her voice. It so happened that Natalia Trauberg gave one of her last interviews to Expert magazine. Elena Borisova, special correspondent for Expert magazine».
