Quotes and instructions from Elder Nikolai Guryanov
The human soul is a bird, hidden and vulnerable, it is the breath and breath of God. If the person and loved ones treat her with care, she wakes up, awakens and blossoms, turning into a large and strong white bird. Spiritual wings strengthen and grow - prayer and repentance, and when it grows to the measure of Christ, it separates from the mortal body, clay... And soars into the shining blue heights of the luminous Heavens... And the Soul of man flies on wings, guarded by Angels, to the Sweetest Savior of the world, Christ...
We must feel sorry for those who go against God... Understand, only hell awaits them... If a person does not find God in his soul, his entire earthly life has no meaning. The evil that exists in the world cannot be corrected by evil. God did not create evil. The Lord is merciful. Only by the grace of God are we saved. Salvation comes only from God... We - Orthodox Christians - live on earth to prepare for eternity... And we must fight evil - but in such a way that we ourselves do not fall away from Divine love. Learn to rejoice when everyday failures haunt you; sincerely kiss your sorrows and heartache; rejoice when the whole world rejects you; rejoice in everything that makes others cry - from loss, poverty, loneliness. What you lose here, you will gain a hundredfold there. You must be remelted, completely changed... 1. Our life is blessed... A gift of God... We have a treasure within us - the soul. If we save it in this temporary world, where we came as strangers, we will inherit Eternal Life.
2. Seek purity. Don’t listen to bad and dirty things about anyone... Don’t dwell on an unkind thought... Flee untruths... Never be afraid to speak the truth, only with prayer and, first, ask for blessings from the Lord.
3. You need to live not only for yourself... Try to quietly pray for everyone... Don’t push anyone away or humiliate anyone.
4. Our thoughts and words have great power on the world around us. Pray with tears for everyone - the sick, the weak, sinners, for those for whom there is no one to pray.
5. Don't be too strict. Excessive strictness is dangerous. It stops the soul only at external achievement, without giving depth. Be softer, don't chase external rules. Converse mentally with the Lord and the saints. Try not to teach, but to gently suggest and correct each other. Be simple and sincere. The world is like God’s... Look around - all creation thanks the Lord. And you live like this - in peace with God.
6. Obedience... It begins in early childhood. From obedience to parents. These are our first lessons from the Lord.
7. Remember that all people are weak and sometimes unjust. Learn to forgive and not be offended. It’s better to move away from those who cause you harm - you won’t be loved by force... Don’t look for friends among people. Look for them in Heaven - among the saints. They will never leave or betray.
8. Believe in the Lord without doubt. The Lord Himself lives in our heart and there is no need to look for Him somewhere there... far away.
The main disaster of the era before the reign of the Antichrist is the spirit of blindness. Spiritual intelligence will be rare, carnal intelligence will be more common, so people will not discern the Antichrist, moreover, they will see a benefactor in him. After all, to acquire spiritual intelligence means, like a child from its mother, not to depart from the Universal Church, and to constantly be guided by the centuries-tested Holy Scripture. Christ Himself warned us: “Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with gluttony and drunkenness and the cares of this life, and lest that day come upon you suddenly.”
Excessive immersion in the worries of material life contributes to the development of an everyday mind, which at the right moment will not perceive Divine revelations. To make a person insensitive to his own salvation, the enemy will darken him with much concern. People will forget how to desire eternal life, the possibility of eternal condemnation will cease to frighten them. All attention will be focused on the problems of the day.
Brothers and sisters! Leave problems, vanity, troubles! Having thrown away everything, take care of your soul, your salvation! This is the main thing! Think about where you will be if you die today?! Go to church, repent, take communion! Pray!

Part Eight
Father Nikolai said: “Our thoughts and words have great power on the world around us. Pray with tears for everyone - the sick, the weak, sinners, for those for whom there is no one to pray. Constantly cry out to the Sweetest Savior of the world: “Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
“God listens to the prayers of righteous people. What people cannot achieve with weapons in their hands, the righteous achieve through prayer.”
“The grace of God is given to us in the Sacraments. Especially in Holy Communion. Unite with Christ as often as your conscience and repentance allow you. Come to the Lord with love and faith - and He will burn away everything sinful, and your soul will be whiter than snow. Fiery white... The grace of Communion is a power indestructible for darkness, delivers from all misfortunes.”
“Call to the Mother of God, ask Her for Grace, which will be poured out on the human race in all ages: “Rejoice, O Gracious One, the Lord is with You...Grant to us, the unworthy, the dew of Thy grace, and show Thy Mercy.”
“Don't be too strict. Excessive strictness is dangerous. It stops the soul only at external achievement, without giving depth. Be softer, don't chase external rules. Converse mentally with the Lord and the saints.”
“Try not to teach, but to gently suggest and correct each other. Speak if your heart is not silent. Heart to Heart. Be simple and sincere. The world is like God’s... Look around - all creation thanks the Lord. And you live like this – in peace with God.”
“Obedience...It begins in early childhood. From obedience to parents. These are our first lessons from the Lord. If a child did not obey his parents, then it is difficult to convert him to Faith in Christ.”
“Remember that all people are weak and sometimes unjust. Learn to forgive and not be offended. It’s better to move away from those who cause you harm - you won’t be loved by force... Don’t look for friends among people. Look for them in Heaven - among the saints. They will never leave or betray.”
“Seek purity. Don’t listen to bad and dirty things about anyone... Don’t dwell on an unkind thought... Flee untruths... Never be afraid to speak the truth, only with prayer and, first, ask for blessings from the Lord.”
“You are all looking only for spiritual fathers... But you forget the Gospel... We all have One Spiritual Father - the Gospel. This is the meaning of life, our Living Faith, Hope and Love... It even hurts me that they only look for a person, and forget the Lord... It’s good if there is a reasonable, believing priest to whom you can turn, this is happiness... But if the Lord did not send - Is it impossible to be saved?!”
“Don’t judge the priests strictly, who is who... The main thing is that he is a believer, God-fearing, and preaches the Gospel.”
“You need to live not only for yourself... Try to quietly pray for everyone... Don’t push anyone away or humiliate anyone. The Lord did not offend anyone... And if you are humiliated, remember how the Savior and Tsar-Martyr Nicholas were crucified..."
“Our life is blessed... A gift from God... We have a treasure within us - a soul. If we save it in this temporary world, where we came as strangers, we will inherit Eternal Life with Christ. Joy, unspeakable joy... Angels and Saints are waiting for us. Lord the Father and Queen of Heaven... How happy we are, that we are right and glorious – Orthodox.”
“Mystery and intimacy distinguish the stay on earth of those who are exalted in spirit and heart. People close to God are silent and rarely reveal themselves, for they all keep within themselves the Divine secret, which the world not only cannot, but also does not want to contain.”
One day, young monks, having visited the Glinsky Elder, the spiritual friend and prayer partner of Father Nicholas, Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly (Sidorenko), asked him the question: “Are there such ascetics in our 20th century that we read about in ancient patericons?” - they heard in response: “We see them, we hear them, we are with them, but we do not have the faith and obedience that we had in ancient times, so we do not know them.”
“My heart has always been with the Lord,” said Father. – I tried to learn spiritual crying from childhood... I’ve been a monk since childhood. Those at home did not enter my cell without prayer - a monk... They knew that I was praying, talking with the Lord... I didn’t know or see anyone except God.”
Father Nikolai said that the origins of the suffering of the Russian people are that in 1917 the Holy Synod not only remained silent at the hour of God’s call, but blessed the perjurers who carried out the coup, ordering them to submit to the traitor who had arbitrarily declared itself a “government.” “These are the sources of our suffering,” said Father Nikolai. – Until the entire Church realizes this, turns in its prayers to Tsar Nicholas as a great saint and turns to the Lord with tears to return the Tsar to us, we will suffer. And God will not give us the Anointed One to be tortured and violated again. The King will appear when we have purified ourselves and become worthy. We must pray and work.”
“You just can’t get embittered and correct what you have done with evil... The evil that exists in the world cannot be corrected with evil. God did not create evil. Lord Gracious. Only by the grace of God are we saved. Salvation is only from God... We - Orthodox Christians - live on earth to prepare for Eternity... And we must fight evil - but in such a way that we ourselves do not fall away from Divine Love.”
Father Nicholas was asked whether the Tsar could have changed anything in the trials that befell us, and Father once said: “The Tsar hoped to save Russia from the evil that had happened. I really wanted it. But they became cowardly and betrayed. The worst thing is that the clergy did not understand the Tsar... They did not stand up for Him. There is no sin on the Emperor for renunciation. When the Power was in the grave, the Mother of God the Power appeared.”
Praying before the icon of the Royal Saints, the Elder once said: “Out of pity for the Tsar, I did not get up from my knees. I prayed at His Cross...They are already Home, in joyful Eternity, and we are guests. My unforgettable and beloved King and Queen are merciful and merciful. There... They see God... It was a unanimous Holy Family. Angels. They tolerated everyone and forgave everyone, they did not humiliate anyone. And how inexpressibly they loved the Lord! They bore the wounds of the people and the Church. They had purity of prayer. Purity of prayer... They had such love that they prayed for everyone, did not make any difference between people. And they forgave everyone who abandoned and betrayed Them. Their thoughts were lofty, and only for good, because the Lord heard Them... They had holy humility.”
“A heart that loves and believes in its people will never throw a stone at them,” said Elder Nicholas to the saintly life. – The overthrow of the Sovereign is not the fault of the Russian people, but our terrible grief. This is a great test for us... Like Job the Long-Suffering. Our people are believers and very trusting. He has a simplicity and sincerity that is often used against him. But our Rus' is protected by God!
Father often recalled the years spent in the camps. After all, there, in terrible inhuman conditions, amid suffering and death, the Church continued to live: Divine Liturgies were secretly served, secret baptisms were given to the dying, secret consecrations of priests and bishops were performed. And no “certificates” or other certificates were issued, because it was understood that during a search, the presence of such documents would threaten the owner, if not with a death sentence, then certainly with an additional term of imprisonment.
Elder Father Pavel (Gruzdev), who also went through the camps, said: “In the camps and in persecution, when all the rules, all the instructions for salvation collapsed, the one who believed in his heart preserved the Faith, and he remained with the Crucified Lord.” For the Father is looking for such - those who worship Him in Spirit and Truth. The Spirit is God: and whoever worships Him by the Spirit and by the Truth is worthy to worship (John 4:23-24).
“A believer has a loving attitude towards everything that surrounds him. He lives according to the Gospel and always tries to do everything according to the Word of the Lord,” Father Nikolai tirelessly repeated.
Father Nikolai's humility was so deep that he already considered even the slightest mention of himself to be an exaltation over his neighbor, an impermissible teaching. That’s why every word he says is so valuable to us.
About himself, Father spoke only the most important things, only what is necessary for Eternal Life. - “Do you need this for God or for people?” - Father asked me one day when I was going to clarify the “dates and numbers” from his biography. - “God doesn’t need dates, but I said everything that is necessary.”
Father often repeated: “Believe in the Lord, undoubtedly. The Lord Himself lives in our hearts and there is no need to look for Him somewhere there...far away.” Father loved the instructions of Isaac the Syrian: “Go into your heart, and you will find in it a ladder to ascend to the Kingdom of God.” Only he simplified: “Know yourself - and that’s enough for you.”

Testimony of Elder Nicholas (Guryanov) - “There are no royal remains. They are burned."
“THERE ARE NO ROYAL REMAINS... THEY ARE BURNED” - TESTIMONY OF ELDER NICHOLAY (GURYANOV)
“I will not renounce God and the Tsar - even if you kill me”
(Elder Nikolai’s answer during interrogation in 1931)
Throne of Russia – Ipatievsky Podval
Almost a hundred years separate us from the terrible day when treason, cowardice and deceit of the aristocratic authorities and elite, the church hierarchy and the “grand-ducal” betrayal allowed the Anointed of God, the Humble Russian Tsar Nicholas, with his entire August Family and Loyal Subjects to be brutally torn to pieces in the dungeon of the Ipatiev House... The sufferers were tortured and slaughtered The saints burned their bodies to ashes. They deprived us of the Royal Relics. So that the people would not even have a memory of the Tsar, so that they could not cry at his holy tomb. And now it’s been a century since my Long-Suffering Russia was thrown together with the Tsars into this bloody Basement, and we are painfully trying to understand and explain to ourselves why
and
how
we got there...
The last “living” witness to the regicide - the Ipatiev House - was demolished, and we remained There... Ipatiev Hell... It is he who has not let us out of the sticky bloody walls for a century. Here the monsters shed the Holy Blood of the Tsar. Reigning Tsar Nicholas and Born into the Russian Kingdom through the prayers of St. Seraphim and Blessed Pasha of Sarov, Heir to the Throne Tsarevich Alexy. Every night - from the sixteenth to the seventeenth of July - until its demolition in 1977 - the Ipatiev walls wept with the Royal Blood... It oozed and flowed out on this Passion Night, no matter what they covered it with. The walls screamed and moaned about the evil done. So the Lord called to realize and obey... All who were involved and guilty. After all, He - GOD - saw everything. Christ the Savior was with Them in this Ipatiev Hell...
But instead of universal repentance and awareness, lies still cynically rule our Fatherland. And everything that happens around the Royal Name is a shame. The general shame of Russia and our disaster. In the Royal Tomb of the Peter and Paul Cathedral of St. Petersburg, the remains of unknown people, unknown to us, the Russian people, are buried under the guise of “royal” ones. A century of lies... Involuntary and voluntary complicity in regicide. Abuse of the Truth about the Tsar’s suffering. This is what the heirs of the regicides will “celebrate” in July 2018, if we all, the people of God, allow the “Ekaterinburg remains” to be recognized as the Royal Relics. As has already been admitted, the Church on the Blood in Yekaterinburg does not stand on the site of the Royal Torment. The Royal Golgotha, the basement where the Royal Family was martyred, the Iptevsky Basement, remained outside the Temple. And in April 2000, trees were cut down on Voznesenskaya Hill, witnesses to the prayers, tears and thoughts of the Tsarevs about Russia and about you and me. Witnesses of the suffering of Queen Alexandra, the Tsarevich and the Princesses. These trees heard and saw how Tsarist Russia was destroyed. From these trees we clearly knew where exactly this “room” was located. There the Altar of the future Temple was supposed to be located, as was proposed in the rejected project of the architect Konstantin Efremov. So, as a result of unknown reasons, the plan of the Temple was shifted so that the contours of the place of torment did not fall into the contours of the Temple. And the so-called “execution” room, according to the testimony of Professor V.M. Slukin, its eastern part, remained... on the sidewalk. There is now a “street-asphalt surface” going on there.
The results of the work of the commission under the leadership of Professor Malakhov, a specialist in underground passages, shafts and voids in the walls, who spent a whole year (1975-1976) exploring the Ipatiev House, its underground structures and basements on the eve of demolition, are still classified.
Everything connected with the Tsar is slandered and distorted. Everything connected with the violent seizure of power in Russia in 1917 and the regicide is hidden. The entire world political system was built on the imaginary “abdication” of the Sovereign, which seems to be collapsing today. And only because it is collapsing before our eyes can we talk about this topic. Almost no one talked about this before. But we knew that after the palace grand-ducal perjury rebellion, in which the Sovereign’s closest Relatives, the military, and the clergy were involved, our Blessed Tsar Nicholas, being deprived of the opportunity to politically influence events, did something more important than the struggle for earthly power: He became a Saint. With the entire August Family. Consciously and sacrificially. And those who came to power as a result of the February conspiracy were doomed to inevitable defeat and disgrace. Torment in Eternity. They love and pray to Holy Tsar Nicholas. For He walked in the Footsteps of Christ and acquired Heavenly Glory. The slander around His Name will sooner or later dissipate, and the Truth has already reached human hearts. From the darkness of the Ipatiev basement, Light shines.
Father Nikolai said that God has given us reason and reasoning. Therefore, we can find out where the Truth is and where the lies are in relation to the Tsar. “In fact,” said the Elder, “the authorities have all the original documents. They know exactly what happened, but they are hiding it. And there are photographs of those martyred there. They even have film footage of the terrible evil committed in the Ipatiev basement... Terrible footage... Demon dancing.”
Living Word of Father Nicholas about the Tsar-Martyr
It is obvious that the word of the unforgettable Father Nicholas about the Tsar-Great Martyr is now not only “valuable”, it is “priceless” - a spiritual pearl. The elder bequeathed to us to remain faithful and love the Sufferer Tsar Nicholas. He often lamented that the people did not understand “the Most Humble, Meek and Merciful Sovereign.”
Father Nikolai predicted that “The Sovereign will be KICKED OUT from the Saints!” (He did not utter the word “decanonization”, as well as “canonization”; he simply said “glorify, glorify”). When in 2000 the Royal Family was canonized as Saints at the Council of Bishops, I was delighted, and the Elder said: “Collect everything that has been published and written about the Tsar.” “I was surprised: “Father! But they made it famous, and now they’ll publish a lot.” “The Elder’s answer was stern and unexpected: “Such things, my dear, will be published about the Tsar that you won’t even be able to hold in your hands... And they will also push Him out of the Saints”...
The words of dear Father are coming true... And the matter, as we see, is not only about the “Matildas”... As they betrayed the Tsar, so they cheat; just as they were cowardly and cowardly, they are still cowardly; just as they deceived, lied, denigrated everything Tsarist and Russian Holy, so they deceive.
Father Nikolai connected the destruction of our country directly with the regicide. “We will be able to fix everything in Russia only after we realize the horror of everything that has been done to the Royal Family”...
For me, as for the majority of the church people, it is obvious that the truth about the Royal Relics is only with God and His Saints, and not in the next decision of the Investigative Committee, which after some time may “reveal” some “new circumstances” that will cancel previous conclusions about the supposed “authenticity” of the remains. And everyone will again be unwitting accomplices in the desecration of the memory of the Most August Sufferers. Therefore, for us, Orthodox, now, when the church hierarchy may reconsider its attitude towards the remains buried in the Imperial Tomb, and there is a danger that we may be forced to venerate these bones as “royal relics”, it is the word of the spirit-bearing fathers that determines our attitude to what is happening .
The famous Elder Archimandrite Kirill (Borodin) once said: “The relics of the Holy Royal Martyrs were destroyed in 1918 at Ganina Yama. There are no “royal remains”, except for what investigator Sokolov found in 1919. The remains dug up near Yekaterinburg in 1991 are the bones of other people, since mass executions were carried out in those places in the 1920s. Someone, for the sake of a certain policy, made money from the “discovery of relics”, someone made a name, but the statement that these bones are the remains of the Royal Family is false.”
Father Nikolai is an ascetic of our pre-judgment time. A righteous man, whose holiness is confirmed by his entire godly life, veneration of the people and miracles. Both during life and after dormition. Father’s personal appeal to the Royal Family was his descent into the Ipatiev basement prepared by Him. He revealed to us the Truth about the Torment of the Tsars and about those who betrayed the Tsar to torture... The Elder saw in the Spirit the highest moment of the Tsar's Glory. There is such depth in Father Nicholas’s vision of the Tsar’s Suffering in Ipatiev Hell that it cannot but be the Truth. Father lived under the guidance of the Most Pure Virgin Mary, under Her holy omophorion. And in Her light he saw what was happening there. He walked with the Tsar. On the blades of evil. This is his way. The Royal Path of Father Nicholas. He was raised as a youth to the heights of Their suffering. I saw everything in Eternity. And he spoke from it.
Father Nikolai lifted the curtain on this terrible secret of the past century - the regicide. He recalled: “July 17, 1918. I’m nine years old... I run to my mother, cry and shout: “Mom, mom! The king was killed! All... Oh, and the Lord will punish them, the damned, for what they did to them all!” “The Lord already revealed this to me then.”
"
Later, Father said: “Among those crucified in the Ipatiev basement, I was the smallest.”
Even then, the teenage boy Nikola had a special gift of the Spirit. He contemplated the Light, and, being in the Light, saw the Paths and Destinies of men as clearly as we see the objects around us... He contemplated the Heavenly World, where he communicated with the Saints.
Like Blessed Marya Ivanovna Diveevskaya, he was given by the Lord to see the Crucifixion of the Royal Family.
Elder Maria Ivanovna (Maria Zakharovna Fedina, (+8.09.1931), heir to the gifts of Pasha of Sarov, who was called the “Fourth Seraphim”), the nuns said, on the night of the torture of the August Saints, from July 3/16 to July 4/17, 1918 , raged terribly and shouted: “The princess with bayonets! Damned Jews! She raged terribly, and only later did everyone understand what she was talking about.
Father Nikolai had access to another reality, where all earthly things and concepts are worthless, and value lies in something else. Therefore, he constantly reminded: “ The victim of Tsar Nicholas,
-
complete co-crucifixion with Christ, Sacrifice for Holy Russia
.
It is necessary to comprehend the greatness of the Tsar’s Sacrifice; it is exceptional for the Russian Church.” He cried about this Sacrifice and prayed for forgiveness, and in 2000 the Lord revealed to Father that He had mercy on Russia, “has already had mercy, and the Russian people are forgiven - for the Redemptive Golgotha of the Holy Tsar.”
The Blessed Elder spoke about what was seen through the eyes of a soul purified by suffering. The angelic world, the world of dark spirits, was clearly seen by his eye. It was unbearably painful to hear the Elder’s revelations about the bloody torment of the Royal Angels: he said that the Children were tortured in front of the dumbfounded holy Sufferers. The Royal Youth was especially tortured. The queen did not utter a word. The Emperor turned white all over .
Father cried: “Lord! What did they do to them all! Worse than any torment! The angels could not mature! The angels wept over what they had done to Them! The earth sobbed and trembled... There was darkness... They tortured, chopped with terrible axes and burned, and drank the ashes... With tea... They drank and laughed... And they suffered themselves. After all, they drank the Holy Blood... They drank and were afraid to be sanctified: after all, the Royal Blood is Holy... The names of those who did this are not revealed... We don’t know them... They did not love and do not love Russia, they have satanic malice... Damned Jews... We must pray to the Holy Sufferer, cry, beg to forgive everyone... We don’t know their names... But the Lord knows everything!” (01/25/2000)
The priest testified, and his word is sacred: “ There are no royal remains!” They were burned at one time
And".
- Then he added sternly: - Keep the Truth that is necessary in Eternity. Got it? This is the main thing!” — Later he explained : “ Tsar Nicholas, out of great love for Russia and man, humiliated himself, suffered, suffered, and went to the Cross.
He forgave everyone, even the tormenting monsters, accursed murderers... But God will not forgive us if we value His suffering at nothing, we create lies and listen to Satan the murderer... It is he who pours the poison of lies into the minds and hearts of poor people... And those whoever believes the slanderer and goes against the Tsar, doing evil with false remains - their fate is terrible in Eternity! God forbid! You can't believe lies! They burned them - and drank the ashes... How much evil is in the world, how much evil is in man... Keep that Truth that is necessary in Eternity - Our King is a great saint, He is with the Lord in ineffable Glory... The King has been given enormous power over the world... And who raised his hand against the Tsar, know that such a person entered into an agreement with the devil himself... Such people will be excommunicated from the Love of God in Eternity!”
Elder Nicholas about the Honest Royal Heads:
“They were beheaded, not only the Tsar, but all the Martyrs, and taken away... At one time they were in the Kremlin. God knows, maybe even in the mausoleum... They did such things to them that God forbid even speak! Flour! Iniquity! Damned satanic mockery... It’s better to remain silent and cry about this... Demon dancing.”
From unpublished things said by Father Nikolai at different times
:
1.
“The Anointed One of God, Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov, was martyred.
Defender and Guardian of the Russian Church. Its Earthly Leader... The Sovereign did not renounce. There is no sin on the Emperor for renunciation. He is the greatest of the Russian Tsars, who deeply loved God and His People. He was betrayed. Even the Church. For the clergy, the main sin is treason. They acted terribly. They did not want to stop the conspirators from sin. They didn’t want to... And they themselves abandoned the Tsar. And Russia bears punishment for the Tsar.” (How consonant is this with the bitter words of truth spoken by the late Bishop of Caracas and Venezuela Seraphim
(Svezhevsky) (1899+1996), who lived out his last days in Novo-Diveevo, near New York:
“It was the white hoods that destroyed Russia”).
2. One day Father said: “The Emperor did not transfer the Throne to Mikhail.” I asked: “What about the act of transferring the Heritage to “Our Brother”?” - “I don’t know anything. There was no... The Emperor transferred the Throne to Alexei, the Heir. Legal. And the Tsar did not trust any provisional government and did not bequeath anything to them.”
This is a terrible catastrophe in world history, the consequences of which continue to be felt by all Russian people until today. In the Russian Kingdom, the Royal Order is the Church Order. The rank of Bishop. Anointing for the Kingdom is the Eighth Sacrament. It is Sacred and inviolable, like all the Sacraments.
Knowing this, the Synod was OBLIGED to immediately convene a Council and judge what happened at the DNO station with the Emperor... Instead, knowing that the Emperor was being taken into custody, throughout the Empire the Orthodox clergy began to bear the Cross and the Gospel and force the people to take the oath to the provisional government, who seized power by thieves.
“Unprecedented lawlessness!
They don't want a king! The thieves! - said Father Nikolai. - In this gathering there were Jews, and Masons, and atheists, and the people were forced to take an oath of allegiance to them - the thieves! From this hour, the Second of March is our Day of Shame...
3. “The victory of the enemies is imaginary... In fact, the Tsar appeared before God in the Unsullied Royal Mantle...” - the words of the Elder.
4. “The Emperor followed the Savior... And His Royal Mantle, like the Robe of Christ, was divided and torn... But they were left with nothing... In the Ipatiev basement the Lord was with Them, and where were the tormentors?! It’s scary to think, not only to say.”
5. “The saints loved the King and the Queen. The Monk Father Seraphim had compassion for Them and always accompanied them. And Simeonushka Verkhotursky."
6. “Everything terrible that happens in Russia is for the Tsar.”
7. “The Holy Chosen Queen put Her Crosses - [swastika] - and they saved Russia from Hitler.”
8. “The great suffering of Queen Alexandra Feodorovna. She, as the Mother of God, brought Her Son, Alyoshenka, to suffer... Is it possible to even think about Them in an unworthy manner?!”
9. “Alyoshenka! Priceless, dear, unprecedented... Brutally tortured before the eyes of his Parents. They chopped them up with terrible axes and burned them in the fire. The holy bones were burned. But they sanctified Russia, shone... They shone and preserved!
10. “Tsarevich Alyosha is our Treasure. God will not give us such a King again. They didn’t save…” Father had a very deep connection with the Tsarevich. He lived by Him. He always asked: “Alyoshenka! Help! Jump to the rescue." Icons of the Royal Family surrounded the father. There are photographs everywhere... But the main thing is that the Royal Martyrs were always spiritually nearby.
11. “The Emperor left the Empire to the Heir - Son Tsarevich Alexy. No one else... No way. They prepared Him for reign. This would be a strong Emperor."
12. Once said: “ Izmenkovo
... General betrayal of the Tsar is Izmenkovo... Whoever betrays the Tsar is from Izmenkovo... Tell them so!”
13. A piercing thought: “If you love the Royal Family, you will be saved
…»
14. “The sovereign has appeared. This is Her lot. Russia. She is the Merciful... She does not leave us in Her Assumption. She takes pity on us and forgives us. We must ask Her for forgiveness for the Tsar and the Royal Family..."
15. What distinguished the spiritual Path of Father Nicholas? - He did not place any hopes on commissions that would investigate, decide, determine something... Always at the head and in the heart - what would the Royal Martyrs say
...
How They decide, they want
... When Father was told with pathos that the Council of Bishops had “canonized the Royal Family,” he interrupted the speaker with vehemence: “So it’s not us! The Lord glorified!”
16. He repeated all the time: “And this should have been asked of the Royal Martyrs.” - As an example... “I’ll talk with Elizaveta Feodorovna, how She will decide whether it is possible to ask Her relics to Russia for veneration.” – In the evening: “She doesn’t mind. You can ask for relics from the Church Abroad.”
17. “The Royal Relics are protection... They disappeared into the Russian Land.”
18. “The Royal Family... They knew that They were destined by God to be a Sacrifice... They learned to treat this in the highest degree according to Christ. Grigory Efimovich prepared them for this Sacrifice. He showed them the Way... They meekly and calmly went to the Cross.”
19. “The days when the King was forced to “renounce” - this is the real Gethsemane of the King... He had the same strength and calmness as during the torment in the basement... Why is the King so calm? “Because he knows that there is no death!”
20. “The Royal Family... The Lord sent Her. They know that They are the Victim... We didn’t understand.”
21. Grand Duke-Great Martyr Mikhail Alexandrovich Romanov. The Tsar's Younger Brother... He was also brutally tortured. When they turned to the Elder for his blessing to make a film about how He was saved, Father did not give his blessing to film “such a lie.” He added: “The Grand Duke will be very upset that this fiction will gain force.”
22. When asked who owns the Scepter, the Crown and the Russian Power, he answered: “To Tsar Nicholas... He is still the Master of the Russian Land.”
23. To the reasoning that the Queen of Heaven took the Scepter and the Orb, that the Sovereign mystically handed over the Royal Regalia to Her, he replied: “No! The Lady had and still has care for the whole world. She is the Queen of Heaven, not earthly. But she appeared to, on the contrary, indicate that there was no “renunciation”. The king did not renounce. And we have lost the Blessed King, the Anointed of God... She commanded us to pray: “Let them pray,” she said. So they began to ask Her, to lament, to repent... The image was called “Sovereign”... Repentance, repentance... And the Mother of God never left us: “Rejoice, Delighted One, Who did not leave us in Her Assumption.”
“If the Lord grants a Tsar now, He will be crucified again, burned, and the ashes will be drunk with tea.”
When Father Nicholas was asked about the possible restoration of the Monarchy in Russia, he replied that “there is no point in thinking about it now. If the Lord now grants a Tsar, He will be crucified again, burned, and the ashes will be drunk with tea... They still don’t want a Tsar, the thieves!”
Once he said this:
“They can make their Fuhrer “king”... Save us, God, from this.”
Here it is appropriate to recall the prediction of St. Lawrence of Chernigov that “under the guise of the Orthodox Tsar” the Antichrist may reign.
Father Nicholas warned against being carried away by the idea of “quickly the Tsar!”... He said: “ The Tsar must be tearfully begged and deserved... But we, you see for yourself, how we live... The Tsar cries for us, but the people don’t even think about Him.”
The quiet words of the humble Talab prayer book Father Nicholas -
“The Tsar is coming”...
These are the holy, secret words spoken for the first time under extraordinary circumstances back in 1918, when the Tsar’s Sacrifice was revealed in the Spirit to the nine-year-old boy Nicholas on the terrible night from July 3/16 to July 4/17 August Sufferers... Almost a century ago... These cherished words of the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas himself, under whose prayerful protection our unforgettable Father remained alive in persecution and prison, refer to the distant Future... The time of which is not revealed to us... For it is impossible for man to know the Future, he said Elder... Maybe before the End of Times... When what was destined in the Revelation of John the Theologian should come true: “And Heaven hid itself, rolled up like a Scroll; and every mountain and island moved from their places...
The way to save Russia is the way out of the Ipatiev Basement. To do this, it is necessary to reveal the whole Truth about the February betrayal. To be honest about what happened in the Tsar’s carriage and the Tsar’s Headquarters in the “renounced” damned days. Declassify all archives and classified documents. Only then will it be possible to realize and understand the True Gethsemane and Golgotha of the Russian Tsar... His Grace-filled service to Russia, so beloved by Him. To us... To the coming descendants, who love Him so much and accepted the Royal Sacrifice.
TO GET OUT OF THE IPATEV HELL, IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE REMAINS OF UNKNOWN PEOPLE BURIED THERE FROM THE ROYAL TOMB OF THE CATHERINE'S CHILTER OF THE PETROPAUL CATHEDRAL IN ST. PETERSBURG. THEN WE WILL BE CLEAR AND HOPE THAT GOD WILL ACCEPT OUR LOVE AND WORK.
