Hieromonk Nilus (Grigoriev)
Hieromonk Nilus (before monasticism, Viktor Evgenievich Grigoriev) is one of the longest serving clergymen in Pskov diocese—he has been a pastor for over thirty years. Before that, he spent many years in the camps for political prisoners. Having received the monastic tonsure in Sretensky Monastery, he is immortalized as one of the heroes of Archimandrite Tikhon’s popular book, Everyday Saints. During one of his visits to Moscow Fr. Nilus agreed to tell us a little about his life and service as a priest.
