Церковный автостоп

Protoiereĭ Aleksiĭ Uminskiĭ byl odnim iz samykh izvestnykh moskovskikh svi͡ashchennikov - vel peredachu o pravoslavii na gorodskom telekanale, u nego vykhodili knigi propovedeĭ, na prazdniki i blagotvoritelʹnye i͡armarki v khram Troit͡sy v Khokhlakh, gde on 30 let byl nastoi͡atelem, sobiralisʹ poėty, muzykanty, pisateli, khudozhniki. Ėto bylo vazhnoe dli͡a mnogikh mesto na karte Moskvy, kuda prikhodili i v gore, i v radosti. Otet͡s Aleksiĭ organizoval spet͡sialʹnye liturgii dli͡a pat͡sientov detskogo khospisa, ezdil v ti͡urʹmy naveshchatʹ zakli͡uchennykh, druzhil s li͡udʹmi izvestnymi i neizvestnymi. Vse ėto konchilosʹ vo vremi͡a voĭny. Teperʹ on zhivet i sluzhit v Parizhe, a Russkai͡a pravoslavnai͡a t͡serkovʹ lishila ego sana. Ėta kniga - rasskaz o ego zhizni. O detstve v Perovo v 1960-e gody, kogda Gagarin poletel v kosmos, a vmesto krivykh derevenskikh domikov vyrosli pi͡atiėtazhki. O i͡unosti sredi sovetskikh khippi i pravoslavnykh monarkhistov. O puti svi͡ashchennika ot ėntuziazma 1990-kh do katastrofy 2020-kh. No glavnoe - o nastoi͡ashchem. Ėto khristianskoe osmyslenie zhizni v rukhnuvshem mire. Soavtor Uminskogo - zhurnalistka, avtor knigi 'Blagimi namerenii͡ami' Ksenii͡a Luchenko.

Archpriest Alexy Uminsky was one of the most famous Moscow priests. He hosted a program about Orthodoxy on the city's TV channel, he published books of sermons, and for holidays and charity fairs, poets, musicians, writers, and artists gathered at Trinity Church in Khokhly, where he had been rector for 30 years. It was an important place for many on the map of Moscow, where people came for better or worse. Father Alexy organized special liturgies for children's hospice patients, traveled to prisons to visit prisoners, and made friends with famous and unknown people. It all ended during the war. Now he lives and serves in Paris, and the Russian Orthodox Church has defrocked him. This book is a story about his life. About his childhood in Perovo in the 1960s, when Gagarin flew into space, and instead of crooked village houses, five-story buildings grew up. About youth among Soviet hippies and Orthodox monarchists. About the priest's journey from the enthusiasm of the 1990s to the disaster of the 2020s. But the main thing is about the present. This is a Christian understanding of life in a collapsed world. Uminsky's co—author is a journalist, author of the book 'With Good Intentions' Ksenia Luchenko.
