MK. I read all three books. Volume I three times, volume II twice, and
volume III once. There's the account of the "antireligious germ" at
Solvetsky monastery (turned by the Bolsheviks into a prison), and the
account of the torture of the priest who was turned into a statue by
having cold water poured over him, outdoors in the dead of winter.
There's the story of the community of Old Believers who were shipped
to siberia and left to fend for themselves. I could fnd more, but the
books are at home and I'm typng at a online cafe.
