The Last Man in Russia: The Struggle to Save a Dying Nation (56 page)

ideas.

I

have

used

www.mortality.org
, for reliable life-

expectancy and other statistics.

I have used and appreciated

Russia’s Peacetime Demographic

Crisis

by

Nicholas

Eberstadt

(Washington, DC, 2010). He seems

to make a good case, but I have also

followed the online discussion about

whether he has gone too far in his

gloomy prognostications.

I have used newspaper archives

in London and Moscow, as well as

periodicals from elsewhere, for

contemporary views on Dmitry

Dudko. Among the most useful have

b e e n
Russkaya

Mysl

(Russian

Thought
, 8 March 1979; 12 April

1979; 29 February 1980), the
Keston

News Service
(26 June 1980),

Khronika Tekushchikh Sobytii
(the

Chronicle

of

Current

Events
,

multiple

issues,

available

on

www.memo.ru
) ,
The Times
(of

London, multiple issues), the
New

York Times
(multiple issues) and

those papers included in Google’s

mercifully digitized news archive.

I have scoured the libraries of

Moscow

and

London,

and

corresponded with libraries further

afield, in an attempt to find

everything ever written by Dmitry

Dudko. He was a prolific writer, so

this has not been easy. I never found

a copy of
Vrag Vnutri
(Frankfurt,

1979) but, otherwise, I am confident

I have read the vast majority of his

work. Here is a list of the books and

articles that most informed this book.

Our Hope
(New York, 1977) is the

English translation of
O Nashem

Upovanii
(Paris, 1975).

Podarok ot Boga (A Present from

God
, Moscow, 1997) is the

closest thing he wrote to an

autobiography.

T h e
Collected Works
published by

the

Moscow

Patriarchate

(Moscow, 2004) include in

Volume 1: ‘Vernost v Malom’

(‘Faithful over a Few Things’);

‘Poteryannaya Drakhma’ (‘The

Lost

Coin’);

‘Vyyavlenie

Iskusnykh’ (‘Exposure of the

Skilled’). Volume 2 contains:

‘Na Skreshchenii Dorog’ (‘At

the Meeting of the Roads’); ‘Kak

Istolkovat Pritchi’ (‘How to

Interpret Parables’); ‘Propoved

Cherez

Pozor’

(‘Preaching

through Shame’). Volume 3

contains: ‘Khristos v nashei

Zhizni’ (‘Christ in our Life’);

‘Liturgiya na Russkoi Zemle’

(‘Liturgy on Russian Land’); ‘V

Ternie i pri Doroge’ (‘Among

the Thorns and along the

Wayside’).

I pieced together his self-published

n e w s p a p e r
V

Svete

Preobrazheniya (In the Light of

the Transfiguration)
from an

unpublished collection in the

Russian State Library; from the

Vestnik Russkogo Khristianskogo

Dvizheniya

(Bulletin

of

the

Russian Christian Movement
, no.

127, 1978 and no. 129, 1979);

from
Volnoe Slovo (Free Word
,

no. 33); and from ‘Propoved

Cherez Pozor’ in the
Collected

Works
.

Religion

in

Communist

Lands

(Volume 1, nos. 4–5; Volume 4,

no. 2) contains accounts of his

sermons.

Other writings are in:

The 1960s and 1970s were the

heyday of the dissidents’ hand-

printed samizdat (‘self-published’)

literature. Some of these were

smuggled into the West, printed in

book form and then smuggled back

(tamizdat: ‘published there’). Many

were also translated and published in

English. They include:

I have also relied on secondary

literature for information on Russia,

religion, totalitarianism and other

themes covered in this book. These

are the ones I have found most

useful.
