The Duty is Not to Be Silent (2019)

"If we are silent, we participate in the evil that is happening in the world. I have to say what I think." George Edelstein has always adhered to this principle: both in his former secular life and during his years of church service. A man of an amazing fate, complex as the century in which he had to live. Not a Soviet person in Soviet society. A connoisseur of freedom, who does not like being called a dissident. A village priest, to whom Ronald Reagan returned the parish, and whose son became an Israeli politician. A man who always spoke the truth – about the state that persecuted for the faith, and about the church hierarchs who participated in it. "My duty is not to be silent. In silence, I am convinced, God is surrendered."
