Lived twelve bandits

Gena Chudnenko was born in prison. As a teenager from an orphanage, he returned there too. If it weren't for the fact that while serving time in juvenile detention center, Gena began building a temple, his fate might have been typical for someone raised in an orphanage: "Steal, drink, go back to jail..." But then something miraculous happened: this young man who never completed high school built a church according to all the canons of ancient Russian architecture. After being released, he became a monk named Father Gerontius and now restores monasteries in northern Russia.
