In this essential Aether Hour we discuss the life, thought, writings, and legacy of Konstantin Pobedonostsev. This Russia layman acted for 25 years as the Chief Procurator of the Most Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. He wrote Reflections of a Russian Statesman and repudiated all forms of democratic reform, explicitly outlining how only a divinely legitimized absolute monarch can truly claim to represent the people of a nation. He tutored both Tsar Alexander III & his son Tsar St. Nicholas II and almost single handedly held back the tides of elite, liberal revolution for multiple decades. He knew and spoke with multiple Saints, fought against the jews of his time, & worked until his dying breath to preserve the Orthodox Empire. A lot to unpack in this one! 👇🏻
