Metropolitan Nikodim is often remembered in our church, especially when Patriarch Ilia of Georgia worked with him. The book is probably interesting, but I wonder how much it mentions his relationship with our church.

I also wonder if the book mentions those meetings with Ilia II. In Odesa, it was often said that Metropolitan Nikodym helped with humanitarian aid for monasteries back in Soviet times. I would like to read what exactly was written about it.

It is interesting that both in Georgia and in Odessa they remember precisely the meetings with Ilia II. Here in Krasnodar, Nikodim was also often remembered for how he managed to support the diocese in Soviet times. It is a pity that there is not a word about this in the Patriarch’s address, only the title of the monograph. Maybe they'll go into more detail in the book itself?
