A future philosopher, psychologist, journalist, and sound engineer traveled from Pskov to Vladivostok to understand who Orthodox zoomers are and why their numbers are growing.
The journey begins at Moscow’s most zoomer-friendly parish, complete with a coffee shop and art parties. From there, the guides set off on their own routes. Awaiting them are: a 42-kilometer religious procession from Vladimir to Suzdal, the wooden churches of the Russian North, Ural motorcycle rides with a biker priest, obediences at the Pskov-Caves Monastery, the anniversary «Brothers» festival in Mozhaysk, a heartfelt gathering of Orthodox youth in the Southern Urals, volunteers from Pavel Ostrovsky’s parish, Orthodox nonconformists of St. Petersburg, arm wrestlers of Vladivostok, and a baptism in the Sea of Japan.
In every region, they meet peers who came to faith in their own way—through sports, art, science, volunteering, pain, or a «not accidental» accident. Everywhere, they discover one thing: Russian Orthodoxy does not fit into any template or stereotype.
The final episode will become the culmination of each researcher’s personal journey.
