Little is known regarding prisons located inside Russian Orthodox
monasteries for the incarceration and persecution of religious
dissenters and sectarians, political activists, and criminals. This
book focuses on the history of such prisons and the lives of the
inmates subject to monastery incarceration by Imperial Russia and
the Russian Orthodox Church. The period covered begins 1441, and
ends 1905. Likewise included are the women incarcerated in convents
over the same period. This is a part of history that is unknown to
the non-Russian speaking world, and which the author hopes to
unveil. This book deals with the fate of those known as monastery
prisoners, those individuals having the misfortune due to
violations against Orthodoxy, or against Imperial Russia, to be
incarcerated in a monastery prison. Daniel H Shubin has written
several books on history, philosophy and religion of Russia.
