Annotation

The results obtained from the study of Metropolitan Nicholas (Yarushevich) 's works "Words and Speeches" allow us to speak about the scale of his personality and his outstanding role in the post-war revival of the Russian Church. When analyzing his sermons and speeches, one can judge the illegality of the accusations of his vanity and cooperation with government agencies that have been shown in historiography. The applicability and relevance of the metropolitan's preaching works at the present time shows their true value.
