  • ACQUIRING FAITH a Siberian Childhood
    A JOURNAL OF ORTHODOX FAITH AND CULTURE ROAD TO EMMAUS Help support Road to Emmaus Journal. The Road to Emmaus staff hopes that you find our journal inspiring and useful. While we offer our past articles on-line free of charge, we would warmly appreciate your help in covering the costs of producing this non-profit journal, so that we may continue to bring you quality articles on Orthodox Christianity, past and present, around the world. Thank you for your support. Please consider a donation to Road to Emmaus by visiting the Donate page on our website. ACQUIRING FAITH A Siberian Childhood by Nina Kartasheva The compelling story of a Soviet childhood through the eyes of a woman born to Orthodox exiles in the Ural town of Verkhoturye. Nina Kartasheva’s childhood recollections are offset by her account of a later critical illness and the miraculous intervention of the last Russian Royal Family. “The rule of faith and the model of meekness...” I’m reading, as I often do, the troparion to St. Nicholas and remembering the days of my childhood in the far-away Northern Urals, in Verkhoturye, where both my grandmoth- ers were exiled in the 30’s with their children, who afterwards became my parents. I appeared at a later, calmer time when there were no repressions and no one considered my grandmothers to be exiles. Under Krushchev, however, the attitude towards the faith again became blasphemous, to put it mildly, and intolerant if we choose to use harder and more truthful words. Despite everything, traditions were kept up in the old Russian families, along with religious practices and the faith itself.
