“In view of the fact that lately, recollections of the Optina elder, Father Nektary, by various people, have appeared in the press, I consider it my duty to relate several places in my diary where I wrote down descriptions of each of my visits to Optina Hermitage and my contact with the elders, Father Anatoly and Father Nektary. My acquaintance with Optina Hermitage began in April of 1919.”
