The publishing activity of the monastic brotherhood of the monk Job of Pochaev in 1923-1944 in Slovakia. To the 95th anniversary of the foundation

The proposed article is written for the 95th anniversary of the monastic brotherhood of the Monk Job of Pochaev, which existed in 1923 - 1944. on the territory of the so-called Pryashevskaya Rus, the northeastern part of Slovakia, and aims to remind readers of the main milestones in history and the significance of the publication activity of this brotherhood. The monastery was the most active missionary, cultural and educational and, above all, publishing work among all the monasteries of the Russian diaspora. It was the only place in Europe, from where the Orthodox printed word spread throughout all the parishes of the Russian diaspora. The article highlights the activities of Archimandrite Vitaly (Maximenko) on the creation of a monastic printed brotherhood in the village of Ladomirov, the main periodicals of the monastery and their most famous authors are examined, and the concrete contribution of the brotherhood to the publishing activities of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad is shown. In the 1930s. in its printing house about 75% of all editions of the Russian Church Abroad were printed. Although the monastery in Slovakia ceased to exist after the end of the war, its monks actually created two main monasteries of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad: St. Job of Pochaev one in Munich (Germany) and the Holy Trinity one in Jordanville (USA)
