province of Vladimir, which once rvalled
Moscow in importance, and it has two
monasteries and two converts of which
Spasc Yefimieff is the largest and the
most celebrated both for it's holiness and
for its terrors as a heretics prison. The
monastery has existed for more than 800
years. 1t was built as monastery
fortress, in order to resist raids by the
Tartars When Catherine IL decided to
add to it a prison for ecclesiastic Of
tenders she built large barracks with
casemates, which is an exact copy Of
the Schlusselburg fortress, known as
the Northern bastille." The Souzdal
monastery prison is itself known as
"Krepost," the fortress" Here. dur

Feodor Kuzmin or "Feodor Dalicki'
the Distant, is the hereto prisoner
whote fate is now attracting atten-
tion. Kuzmin Is an ex-priest who has
never been accused of any crime; and
fingers in the monastery Jail without
trial or inquiry. He began in Kos
troma province by organizing public
charity on large scale. This at
tracted suspicion. The Orthodox church
rigidly keeps aloof from charity and
public spirited works. and in the mind
of the local bishops a priest who so
works must be "unsound" For long
Kuzmin was spied on in vain. The
civil authorities found out nothing
against him. The ecclesiastical author
tiles then denounced him as heretical
but did not declare in what his heresy
consisted. They got an order from the
synod, countersigned by the minister
of the interior, consigning him to Sous
dal monastery until repentance" This
phrase until repentance" in Russian
ma smireniye," is polite way of say
ing for life" At first Kuzmin was
only "exiled," that Is he was allowed
freedom during the daytime to move
within the walled monastery precincts
But soon after arrival he was thrown
