The narrative centers on Father Alexander Men, a revered figure in Russian Orthodoxy whose life was shaped by the tumultuous backdrop of the Stalinist era and World War II. After his theological studies in Moscow, he served in various parishes, where his strong personality often clashed with authorities, leading to police harassment. Rather than being an agitator, he exemplified spiritual resistance to communism through prayer, liturgy, and a deep respect for humanity, ultimately facing assassination after the fall of communism.
