THE MIRACLE OF THE RESURRECTION OF K. USTYUZHANINOA FROM BARNAUL IN 1964

"I HAVE NO FAITH, BUT THE LORD HAS BEEN SORRY ..."

PREDICTION

Then, in 1948, when I was on my knees before God next to the wondrous messenger, I believed him with fear and trembling. Took his words for true. And with full confidence he accepted another prediction of this man:

The time will come - in Barnaul, the Lord will resurrect a woman, call her Claudia, you will be with her 5 times, and then you will tell people how it all happened. You will first sing in the choir, and then you will praise God.

All this was said in 1948 - that is, 16 years before the well-known Barnaul miracle! Before God and in the name of the Lord I testify: I speak the truth! For these words I am responsible before God at the Last Judgment!

"DO YOU BELIEVE SO ?!"

I had no doubt that everything would happen just like that. And when he heard that in 1964 in Barnaul the Lord had resurrected a woman, Claudia Ustyuzhanina, he asked for leave from work and immediately went there. Then, in December 1964, I did not yet have a holy rank, I sang in the choir of the Church of Peter and Paul in Tomsk.

I arrived at the address given to me, found the house of Klavdia Ustyuzhanina, and there was no one there. The gate is closed.

I'm waiting. And it's getting dark. There is a tall, stately woman with her son - Andryusha was little then, about eight years old. I fit:

Hello, Klavdia Nikitichna! I come to you! She was not surprised at all:

Come on in.

Claudia Nikitichna! I say. - I have friends in Barnaul, but I just don't know where they live. I myself am from another city. Can I sleep with you?

But Father Nikolai told me not to let anyone in, because they could take my documents. And how will I confirm that I was in the hospital, that I did not invent anything?

I made the sign of the cross to the icons and take out my passport.

Fear not, here is my passport!

At this time, Andryusha came up and hugged me, as if he had not seen for a long time and missed me, he bent his head to my chest - as if my own son. Klavdia Nikitichna hung up her coat, turns around:

Don't, don't need a passport! I see from Andryusha that you can be trusted. Take off your clothes, come in.

I immediately asked her a question about the miracle of her resurrection:

Klavdia Nikitichna, as in the next world - did it hurt or not?

She was very surprised:

Have you already visited me?

No, - I say, - never!

Her tears began to flow. Sits and cannot pronounce a word. Finally, asks:

Do you really believe so ?!

Yes, - I answer.

What people are believers! You heard for the first time - and immediately believed. I would never have believed it. Even if my dear mother, whom I loved and whom I believed infinitely, were still alive, I would not believe her, if the Lord performed such a miracle with my mother. And there is nothing to say about a stranger - she would not even want to listen ...

For a long time she herself was an unbeliever, although by nature she is a very kind person. And the fact that she did not have faith is her big trouble. She cannot be judged for that - only the Lord knows why we have lost our faith. There are many outside reasons for this, much has been done to spoil our Russia ... And now you will not find such unbelievers! But the Lord nevertheless regretted one of them - in order to give us all reinforcement in faith. This is not a joke, not a fairy tale, not a child's play. This is serious! This is God's grace.

And to understand this, I did not need any documents or witnesses! After all, I was convinced on myself what the mercy of God is: twice the Lord warned me - take away the soldiers, now a shell will arrive here. And what about the prediction about the resurrection of Claudia in Barnaul, given to me in 1948? That is why, upon hearing Claudia's story, I immediately simply and unconditionally believed her. I was not looking for witnesses - true or false. I didn't need other witnesses - I knew 16 years earlier that such a miracle would happen.

I was one of the first to hear the story of Klavdia Nikitichna about her life, literally "hot on the trail" - a little over six months after the miraculous resurrection and healing.

"YOULAUGHING AT GOD! .. "

I am citing the story of Claudia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina as she presented it to me.

“There was a temple next to my shop where I worked as a salesman. I went to see what was going on there. I stood in a corner, watching: one, the other, the fifth, the tenth - they cross themselves, kiss the icons and even bow to the earth before the icons. I went up to the icon, tapped on the board, looked: some grandfather with a beard was drawn. And on another icon there is a woman - a mother with a baby. I thought: "Well, well, I was holding little Andryusha in my arms ... So, it turns out, what their concept is, here is God for them ..."

I came to the store, with a slight grin, told about my impressions. And one of the store workers rebuked me:

- Klava, shut up. You are laughing at God!

- Stop it!- answered her.

Then we went together with another saleswoman to look and make sure. And they also condemned everyone - they say, they are a little ... not that, it seems like some kind of sick people. "

But the Lord, of course, took pity on Klavdiya Nikitichna, did not let her stay in such a darkening state - she fell seriously ill. Cancer. As many have already written about this, the disease was sent for the salvation of the soul. And it was operated by Israel Isaevich Neimark, a wonderful talented surgeon, a professor who knows his business. And on the operating table, her darling left the body. Here's how she talked about it:

“It's even scary to say. My corpse lies on the table, cut open like a pork carcass. And I see, hear, move wherever I want ... "

And it was her soul that saw everything, the soul heard everything - the soul felt everything! And the flesh is like the clothing of the soul. It's like we threw off our coats and went where we wanted to go. So Claudia thought that she would go home - where could she go? .. But it didn't work out. She heard who was saying what, saw how her director arrived, how Andryusha's son came and cried, but she could not help it. When her lifeless body was taken out of the operating room, she felt something unusual - something she had never even heard of before:

“My soul, like a swallow, rose upward with the speed of lightning. As if flying in a glass case. There was no wind resistance! And suddenly I see - there is no land! It only shines from a distance with an asterisk ... "

Klavdia Nikitichna said that when she was lying in an unknown place - her head to the west, her feet to the east - there was a brown rug under her, like a downy one.

“To my left, an alley 6 meters wide - long and straight like a string - has no end or edge. Fenced with a hedge of laurel leaves - so thick that even a chicken won't stick its head in. "

And on the east side, she saw a shining gate with a height of about nine or ten-story buildings - no other person in the world can create such beauty! He won't even be able to portray. The gates are shiny like the sun, multi-colored, colors move, play, shining sparks fly ...

“Great, warm. Where am I- Do not know. And I wanted to know - but not a single person is present. The fragrant air ... I forgot that I lived on earth, I forgot that I was dying, and I even forgot Andryusha. And suddenly, through these oval gates from the air, a mother and daughter (this is how I perceived them then) in a brown monastic robe. They walk fast. The daughter is crying, she asks for something from the mother. The mother does not pay attention, she goes straight to me. "

ANGEL CRYING ABOUT HER

Then Klavdia Nikitichna thought that she had a daughter with the "nun", and it was a Guardian Angel, given by God to the servant of God Claudia. It was he who cried for her.

“I think: I’ll ask now which side I am in. And mommy is so beautiful that I have never seen in the people of the world. It is impossible to look at this beauty. And she looks at me so sternly - I feel that she is unhappy with me. And I think: how did this young nun become a mother? And suddenly I feel: She knows everything about me- "from" and "to". And I felt ashamed - I don't know where to turn my back or go. But nothing works- as I lay, I lie. You won't get up, you won't turn away.

And this young woman quietly raises her head and says (and only love is felt in this voice): "Lord, where is her?"- I immediately realized that I was in Heaven, the Queen of Heaven was standing in front of me ... "

So gradually she began to realize what was happening, she remembered everything that her father had told her. Andryusha was still little at that time - he did not remember everything from what his mother told with tears. I especially believe this very story almost immediately after the miraculous resurrection ... Claudia heard how the Lord answered the Mother of God.

“I hear a voice from somewhere above:“ Let her go back down to earth, she died in time ”. So I was delighted, although I was shaking all over! .. And the Queen of Heaven went into these brilliant gates - and they opened before her with lightning speed. And through the open gate, a strong, transparent blue light became visible. And then the heavenly doors closed again ... And I lay there like a dummy, thinking nothing of what would happen to me. And then I feel like someone, and it was the Angel of the Lord, puts a thought into me- what to ask. And I ask:

- Lord, how will I live on earth- is my body all cut up?

And the Lord answers (but I hear only a voice - and in this voice there is absolute love!):

- You will live better ... You, ungrateful ones, do not honor your Creator, but only blaspheme. Do not repent of your sins, but sin more and more. Your son went to an orphanage, and your dirty soul came to Me ...

I'm lying. And again I am silent. And again the Angel seems to tell me what to ask about. And then I say:

- Lord, my son was left an orphan. And the Lord, instead of answering, asks:

- I know. Are you sorry for your son? I could only say:

- Highly!

And she cried so that the hollows of her eyes filled with tears.

- And I am three times more sorry for every person. "

Yes, we are all children of God, and the Lord pities all of us immensely - I was convinced of this many times ... Claudia was also convinced later.

And at that moment she lay helpless, not knowing what would happen to her next. I couldn't even think clearly. After all, her soul had no spiritual concept, spiritual education. She was only afraid and ashamed.

"LIFE REMAINLITTLE TIME ... "

The angel puts the third question into her mind, and Claudia asks:

Lord, we on earth say that here in Heaven there is the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Lord did not answer this question.

“I know what he hears, and why he doesn’t answer - I don’t know. I was already turning my head- to and fro, and did not wait. I looked: the gates opened again. The Queen of Heaven came out in a brown robe, quickly walked to me- pigtail in hand.

The Lord says to the Queen of Heaven:

- Pick her up and show her paradise.

The Queen of Heaven made a slightly noticeable movement with her fingers - and I was thrown up like a current: I instantly stood up - facing east. Then She stretched out her hand to the north side - there, as if the curtain opened with lightning speed, and all of me turned to face that side. I see a huge field ahead - stretching from right to left and into the distance, there is no end to it. At first I thought: a field of burnt bumps. And when I looked closely- I see them all moving. I was scared: how is it - the bumps move? And these are people, living, but burnt, charred people, although the nose, ears, and fingers are all intact. These were their souls- black as coal! You will not recognize them - who is there: he or she. You can't tell. They move. Talking- like the surf of the sea is rustling. They ask me, calling me by name, to convey it to earth: if someone fought against God, then it would be better not to be born to that person. They repentantly splash out their sins before me ("I am a fornicator", "I am a thief, a robber", "I am a murderer ..."). I realized that these were people who lived without faith, who died without repentance. "

Claudia was not told who exactly these people were, when and why they got there. But the Lord gave her such a receptiveness to the words that poured out of this sea of ​​men, that she knew what everyone was asking for. But on the whole there was only one request: pray, remember us, repent! And there, in Heaven, repentance is not accepted - only here on earth. All these people will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven for blasphemy. After all, any sin is blasphemy.

Claudia felt an impossible stench from them, and she could not get away from this stench: you can't turn your face away, you can't move - your legs seemed to be welded with electric welding ... And these people stood the same way, unable to move, - tightly, like in a cramped bus ...

Here the Words of the Lord, spoken before she saw this field of human grief, pierced her - that those who live on earth do not honor their Creator, but only sin. "You have to repent and not sin, for life is just a scanty time"- these words of the Lord she continued to hear with all her soul. She suddenly realized that it was said for us, for all of us! After all, the Lord left on earth for the whole world one Law, not two! One for all. Therefore, we must pray for these people. They conveyed God's warning to Claudia, and she conveys it to us - those who live on earth. This is the great, living preaching of God. Through this sermon, Grace touches our planet ...

Klavdia Nikitichna did not immediately understand all this, but she experienced such a shock that tears flowed down her stream, and she exclaimed from the depths of her soul:

God! Queen of Heaven! May I be alive on earth! I will pray, I will tell everyone what I saw and heard in Heaven.

The Queen of Heaven again made a movement with her hand - and the vision closed, the air was purified of stench. When Claudia told me about this, I remembered her words: "If the Lord had done this with my mother, I would never have believed." Indeed - how can one believe who has not experienced this himself? ..

When the Queen of Heaven waved her hand down, the city of Barnaul became visible, as if through a magnifying glass. Everything was visible in the smallest detail - even straws. Claudia saw her store and says:

There is the store where I worked.

And the Mother of God meekly answers:

Claudia almost burst into tears of shame, thinking: “Who am I talking to ?! She knows everything! " And the Queen of Heaven shows:

Look at the temple!

And at the same moment Claudia sees a blue dome and a cross below.

Look how they pray there!

And again - the dome seemed to be gone, as if it had turned into crystal or glass. Claudius looked at everyone who was in the church - she did not see a single acquaintance ... Only the servant Father Nikolai Voitovich, whom she knew. And when I saw how the old woman and the old man were crossing themselves, kissing icons, bowing down, I remembered how I twice went to the Intercession Church when I was alive and well, and condemned everyone, laughed at them, called them stupid. And now, seeing these people from above, she cried out in tears:

Lord, what smart people - they believe that God exists, they worship His image!

She was shaking all over, she was crying. And the Queen of Heaven allowed her to cry to her heart's content. Then She again made a movement with her fingers - and everything disappeared ...

At that time, twelve plates themselves floated towards them from the shiny gates - transparent, as if glass, resembling carriages, connected by gold chains. The Queen of Heaven says to Claudia:

Stand on them, first put your right foot on the plate, and then your left.

And so on for each. And when she reached the twelfth plate like this, she saw - and there was only one golden frame, the bottom itself was not there.

I will fall! - says Claudia.

Do not be afraid, - the Queen of Heaven consoles and gives her a pigtail - as if from her own hair. Claudia grabbed the braid with her right hand, the Mother of God lifted it (the soul does not weigh at all - light, like a small wooden spoon), shook it - and Claudia flew at lightning speed, absolutely not feeling the resistance of the wind, straight down. I saw a lying man without legs - his legs were cut off by a train, I managed to see my body. And then she didn't remember anything.

“I SHOULD TELLWHAT I SEEN AND Heard ... "

A watch was established at the bedside of Claudia - both doctors and sisters changed after a few hours. No one knew if she would live on, what would happen to her.

When she regained consciousness in the ward, she did not feel pain and for a long time could not understand where she was. I saw a window, a light bulb, a man in white, remembered that it was a doctor - her memory gradually returned. She remembered that she had lived on earth, a difficult operation, she remembered everything that happened to her in Heaven after her death ... And suddenly her fingers by themselves joined into three fingers (and before that she almost did not know how to be baptized, forgot, how it's done!) ... She opened her eyes - the nurse on duty was looking at her.

Glory to Thee, Lord, glory to Thee, Lord, glory to Thee, Lord! - Claudia suddenly exclaimed, although before that she did not know any prayers.

The nurse, who was on duty beside her, rushed to the door and shouted without taking her eyes off the patient:

Hurry here!

Another woman in a white coat came running. Claudia tells them:

Gather people, I must tell you what I saw and heard in Heaven ...

“Having come to my senses, I hurried them, not knowing how long I would live, how long the Lord had set for me - either an hour, or two, or more. But I felt absolutely no pain- as if she was completely healthy. "

But, of course, she was still very weak - she could not eat or drink for a long time. When she was discharged home, they continued to give her injections every day. Many people followed her, nursed her for Christ's sake.

And she also needed spiritual support. After all, the extract given by the railway hospital of the Barnaul station on March 10, 1964 was tantamount to a sentence. Diagnosis "Inflammation of the transverse colon (neoplasm with MTS)" - that is, with metastases! - meant cancer in the most difficult stage. Despondency began to visit Claudia:

Tomorrow I will go to the church, order a prayer service for water, bring some water, sprinkle everything - it will feel better ...

The next day, Claudia was left alone in great sadness.

“I went to bed. The door is locked. Suddenly I hear someone coming up to me. I was scared - the door is closed! I see - an old man with a white beard is standing over me, wearing a cassock, holding his hand to his chest and tenderly saying: "Don't cry, Klavdiyushka, you have no cancer." Turns and walks away. I followed him: "Grandpa, grandpa, wait, talk to me!" But he doesn't stop- but goes not to the door, but to the kitchen. I was delighted - now I'll talk to him in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen, and there was nobody there ... I thought there was something wrong with me. I wanted to scream out of grief, out of vexation: how it happened to me - I saw and heard, but there was no one ... And how I breathed air into myself- I felt an extraordinary aroma: it smells of incense ... Then I began to be baptized: oh, who was that ?! Was there some kind of saint of God ?! Who- I don't know ... And I feel so good that I can't get enough of it. Went to the room- and there is an extraordinary aroma of incense. I sat down in a chair, crossed myself, prayed endlessly. I looked at my watch- and already 7 o'clock in the morning. I didn’t notice how the time flew by ... That’s what joy can be. ”

When Klavdia Nikitichna was scheduled for a second operation in the city hospital, Valentina Vasilievna Alyabyeva, who was supposed to do it, asked to pray for a successful outcome.

Holy Mother of God, - pleaded Claudia, - bless the operation to be painless, and bless Valentina Vasilievna to operate on me ...

This operation (performed a few months after the first - "mortal") revealed something that still does not fit in the head of most doctors: complete healing from cancer, although recently metastases were found in the abdominal cavity ...

"LUKAVYY BEATS ME! ​​.."

Comprehending everything that happened and what is happening to her, Klavdia Nikitichna experienced another miracle: from a non-believer she turned into a consciously believer. And it was very difficult.

At first, when Klavdia Nikitichna had just returned home after the hospital and many people began to visit her to ask how everything was, she, full of impressions of the recently experienced blessed state, told everyone:

Tell your family about everything that you heard from me, write to your friends!

But there were a lot of people who were just curious. These unbelievers said:

You had such a dream!

The "informers" also came to check what she was saying. She did not touch the authorities in her stories - there seems to be nothing to complain about! And people were only interested in what happened to her - what Klavdia was and what she was! Either she was an unbeliever, or else she suddenly began to talk about God ... How did such a revolution happen? This is the only reason why the authorities began to claim that she was abnormal.

And soon the attacks of the evil one began - through unkind people.

Her neighbors who lived next to her, in the second half of the house, seemed to be engaged in witchcraft. Once visiting them, I myself was convinced that they could well be called "workers of black magic." They greeted me very unkindly: they did not answer the greeting, the old man was furious at me, swung, called Claudia a bad word. I began to read the psalm "Alive in the Help of Vyshnyago" - they felt bad. The old woman was already shaking, she fell right before my eyes - she began something like a seizure. This is understandable: the enemy does not like the glory of God. And these people served the enemy ...

When I came to Klavdia Nikitichna for the first time, she did not want to let me go for a long time. Maybe because she saw so much mistrust and mockery towards herself - and it was easier for her because I believed unconditionally. And besides, she, apparently, was very much helped by the fact that I prayed in her house: there were fewer demonic attacks.

But for a long time she was tormented at home by demonic attacks. Once I came to her, I go into the house, and she shouts:

Hurry! The crafty one beats me! To cross my back as soon as possible - they torture me so!

Claudia, bending over with pain, leaned against the stove, unable to stand, and I began to read "May God rise again", baptize her. Suddenly my hand was filled with such a weight, as if I was lifting a kettlebell or interfering with clay! I feel: my hand is stiff. But I didn’t stop praying fervently, and soon we both felt relieved.

Oh, thank God! - Claudia sighed and straightened ...

Perhaps due to the actions of the demons attacking her, Klavdia Nikitichna once fell ill so that she could not walk. Her joints ached so much that she could not even turn on the other side - she was turned by an old woman named Christine, who took care of her. She stoked the stove, but Claudia didn't eat anything - her appetite was gone.

BLESSINGFOR PREACHING

“Once Khristina lay down in the kitchen to rest ... And I’m lying on the bunk - motionless. The house is empty. The door is closed as usual. Suddenly I hear someone's footsteps. I looked: and a young nun, such a beautiful one, was approaching me. Calls me by name:

- Well, Claudia, do your joints hurt?

And at this time, really, my joints ached so much that my hands were taken away. But at that moment I forgot about the pain, I just look at her with all my eyes: how did she come in? After all, Khristina is asleep, and the door is closed ... And where did I see her, so good, - I forgot, and who she is - I didn't know ... Then this nun says:

- Well, get up, Claudia. We must walk. Need to eat. We must tell. "

What - to talk about? Claudia immediately realized that it was about her stories about a miracle that happened to her. After all, the doctors told her that all this was a dream, delirium, nothing like that actually happened ... And after the words of this extraordinary woman, doubts receded, Claudia felt so easy and free! After all, the Holy Wife confirmed that the story of Claudia was not a dream, but a living sermon from heaven. Hence, it is commendable to talk about the deeds of God ...

“And the nun is walking with her back to the door. I stood on the threshold. Then I lowered my feet to the floor - and I myself did not notice how I got to my feet, but before that I could not move. I went after her, wanted to wake up Christine, tell her: "Why are you sleeping, such a guest with us!" Only for a moment she turned her gaze to Christine- and this Holy Wife is gone, although the door did not open! At this moment, Khristinya woke up and exclaimed:

- Oh, Klava! What I saw in a dream now! There was some amazing saint here!

Kisses the threshold:

- Here she stepped! ..

And the doorknob, to which she was holding on, also kisses ...

- Klava, what a happy I am that I took care of you and saw such a holy dream ...

When Christine saw that I was on my feet, she cried even more:

- Oh, Klava, and you are standing! What joy! .. And we cried together. "

After this incident, Klavdia Nikitichna began to talk about everything, without fear of slander. It turned out that she began to preach at the behest of the Holy Wife, who appeared to her at home. It was like a blessing of God transmitted through an unknown saint ...

Many people came to Klavdia - I myself am a witness. When I was there, people came from the Novosibirsk region, from the Tomsk region too. We drove from all over the country. My cousins ​​and son-in-law visited her. The deacon Father Nicephorus saw her and listened to her many times ...

And in Tomsk, the news of the miracle of God sounded from the church pulpit. Father Alexander Pivovarov spoke about the Barnaul miracle during his sermon on Lazarev Saturday.

At that time, I was serving in the Peter and Paul Church and was a living witness how people were inspired by the words of Father Alexander.

For those who wish to personally make sure of the resurrection of Claudia from Barnaul, to meet with her, I can give her address ...

Many people after this sermon went to Barnaul. And father Alexander was immediately taken on the hook:

What are you preaching? Who is this resurrected ?! They wanted to start a criminal case against him, they threatened

even defrocked. After all, he was energetic, caring - he attracted young people to himself, taught them. And the authorities did not need this then.

Many in Tomsk asked me about what Claudia told me. I told everyone about this miracle, I didn’t refuse anyone - neither in the church, nor at anyone's home. KGB officers immediately began to spy on me. The parishioners warned me:

The women following you have been sent from the KGB.

Let them walk! - I answered. - Let them watch. I tell only what I saw and heard myself, I do not add anything, and I do not say a word about the authorities.

UNDER THE SEVEN SERGIUS

The Barnaul miracle became known in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Pilgrims came from distant countries:

Where is the woman who is resurrected here? The monks have heard about this, but do not tell in detail

can: Claudia Ustyuzhanina in Siberia, where foreigners did not have access.

Abbot Lavrenty and Abbot Naum (now they are both archimandrites) invited her to Zagorsk - she was needed as a living witness ...

The Lavra clergy gathered. When Claudia, on her knees, told everything to the elders (she called one of them - Archimandrite Seraphim, I do not know the name of the second), they cried before the icon of the Savior, asked the Lord that He would leave the whole world in the world for repentance. They felt that this sermon was alive, that the testimony of Claudia Ustyuzhanina was a message from Heaven to our earth to wake us from sin, so that we would condemn our sinful deeds and live ready to meet the Lord ...

It was getting harder and harder for Klavdia Nikitichna to live in Barnaul. But she did not immediately dare to move to the shelter of St. Sergius. Without embarrassment, she openly told me about the reasons for this slowness. The fact is that on her first visit to Zagorsk she was fed with Borodino bread, which she did not like very much. After all, she, working as a seller, got used to white Siberian - lush, fragrant. And when they began to invite her to live in Zagorsk, she (she was so disgusting!) Did not go ... because of bread. After some time, a woman arrived with a letter from the Lavra to help her sell her house and farm. Claudia again did not go - and again because of the bread. And for the third time she refused to move. And then I thought:

“After that I realized that now the enemy will drive me out! I see in a dream: two black women come, and they have horns on their heads. I woke up: I think- My God, what will happen to me next? Suddenly, after dinner, two women come- and straight to the table. Unfold documents: "Sign- a written warning to you, so that no one comes to you! You’re preaching some kind of God here. ”I didn’t know these women, but I guessed that they were from the executive committee. I opened the doors and told them:“ Come on, come on, go away! They came to indicate to me! The Lord raised me up so that I could tell everyone about it. And nothing will come of your warnings! ""

Klavdia was harsh, but fair - she won't go into her pocket for a word, she always cuts the truth like a knife ... These women left, but they threatened goodbye:

We will leave, but other people will come instead of us! They will talk to you differently. Clear?

I understood everything: the police will come! - answered them Claudia and, sensing something was wrong, ran to Agafya, who lived across the road.

Help me get together!

There is no time to put things in a suitcase - they threw them somehow into a bag. Suddenly I saw through the window: two policemen were walking towards the door - it means that the police had already arrived ...

Oh, Agafyushka! Close me up in the wardrobe soon! Policemen come in:

Hello! Where is the hostess?

She went to school, to Andryusha, - Agafya cheated. They left. Agafia opens the wardrobe - and Klavdia is all wet with excitement.

Thank God! Has carried ...

We must go out. What if they are on guard at the house? I had to leave behind so that the police would not see.

Klavdia Nikitichna intercepted Andryusha on the way from school - and, leaving the neighbor to play housewives, they went to Zagorsk. After some time, they bought a house in the small town of Strunino - not far from Zagorsk. There, in the shadow of St. Sergius, Claudia lived, preaching to people about everything that the Lord had done for her - fourteen years of life was granted to her after an incurable disease: cancer with metastases ... And God called her son to the path of the priesthood - he finished seminary and Theological Academy in Zagorsk.

As predicted to me in 1948, I had a chance to meet with Claudia Ustyuzhanina only five times. Three times I visited her in Barnaul. I met twice in Strunin, when I was already a deacon - I came with my son Peter, he was just entering the seminary ... Well, Andryusha, whom I loved so much, also became a priest - now he serves in the Dormition Monastery in Alexandrov. ..

As I said, I never had any doubts about the resurrection of Claudia. The Lord resurrected Claudia Nikitichna to support our faith - this is a great sermon. Great grace visited the Orthodox to strengthen us all. We must thank the Lord for such a great gift.

But I also met another attitude. I remember talking about this incident to one person. He was a friend of my father - a good, educated person. I believed in God before. And in the 30s, when the churches were destroyed, he lost his faith. I told about the Barnaul miracle, and he says to me:

Well, my dear, you are telling a good story. But I do not believe that there is a God and that a person has a soul. Died, buried - and that's it! ..

And then he himself died. Is his soul somewhere now? I pray for him ...

Yes, it is given to everyone according to faith. "I had no faith, but the Lord took pity on me,"- Claudia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina often said. We will also pray to the Lord for mercy to us, those of little faith ...

Barnaul miracle

The entire Orthodox world was shocked by the amazing story that happened to Klavdia Nikitichnaya Ustyuzhanina, a resident of the city of Barnaul. This story was recorded by a believing woman from the words of Claudia Ustyuzhanina herself, now deceased.

“In 1962, I got cancer. I was treated for three years, but there was no improvement, but on the contrary, I became weaker and weaker until I was hospitalized in a very serious condition.

A professor from Moscow examined me and decided to have an operation. On February 19 at 11 o'clock I was on the operating table.

I died during the operation.

I found out about this later, but when they cut my stomach, I saw myself from the side. I stood between two doctors and looked with horror at my illness. I thought then: why two of me? Why do I lie and I

standing? I did not understand my condition. The doctors took out all my insides, pumped out a lot of fluid from the intestines. And they pronounced a sentence on me: “She has nothing to live with,” said the professor.

Then it was decided to give my body to young doctors for practice. I saw and heard all this, tried to draw attention to myself, but to no avail. I, that is, my body, was taken to the morgue.

I followed and wondered: why did I “split in two”? In the morgue, I lay naked, covered with a sheet. I saw my brother come along with my son Andryusha. My boy cried bitterly, lamented, I hugged him, consoled him, said that I was alive, but he did not pay any attention to me. My brother was crying too, I saw it very clearly.

Suddenly I found myself at home. There were my own sister and mother-in-law from my first marriage (I did not live with my first husband, because he was a believer).

The division of my belongings immediately began in the house. I lived richly because I worked in a store, so I had a lot of property. And it was accumulated in an unrighteous way, by deception. I saw that my sister took the best things. When the mother-in-law asked her to leave something for the boy, her sister began to swear and finally stated that this child was not from her (mother-in-law) son, and there was no need to worry about him.

Then I flew up. I was very surprised that I was flying over Barnaul like on an airplane. Then the city disappeared and it became very dark. I cannot explain how I flew. The darkness continued for a long time, then it became very light, so that it hurts to look. I found myself lying on a kind of black square made of something soft. On this square, I flew further along some wide alley, along which bushes with thin twigs and very beautiful leaves grew.

I thought: where am I? Is it a city or a village? Who lives here? Then I saw a woman, amazingly beautiful, in long clothes. Next to her was a young man who cried and asked for something, but she did not pay attention. I also thought: what kind of mother is she who does not spare the child?

When they approached me, the young man threw himself at her feet and again began to ask for something, but I did not understand anything. I wanted

ask: where am I? But the woman spoke first. Folding her arms over her chest and raising her eyes to the sky, she asked: "Lord, where is her?" And then I shuddered strongly, realizing that I was dead.

I felt scared that I suddenly, as it were, saw my sins and realized that now I would have to answer for them.

I wanted to see God, began to seek Him, but I saw nothing, but only heard a voice that said: "Bring her back to earth, she came at the wrong time." Then I realized that this woman is the Queen of Heaven, and the young man is my Guardian Angel, who begged Her for me.

And the Lord continued to say: "I am tired of her blasphemy and her stinking life, I wanted to wipe her off the face of the earth without repentance, but her father pleaded with Me with his unceasing prayer."

Then He said, "She needs to be shown the place she deserves." And in a moment I found myself in hell. Strange snakes with long fiery tongues crawled over me. These snakes literally dug into me, it hurt so much, so excruciatingly, and there was no help from anywhere. There was an unbearable stench, I screamed.

Then everything started spinning, and I flew again. Suddenly I saw our church, which I scolded many times in my life. From it came the priest, all in a white and sparkling robe, but only with his head down.

Then the Lord asked me: who is this? I replied that I was a priest. And the Lord answers me: “You said that he was a parasite. And he is not a parasite, but a true shepherd, not a mercenary. So you should know, no matter what priest he is, he serves Me. And if he does not read the prayer of permission over you, then I will not forgive you. "

Then I began to ask Him: "Lord, let me go, I have a son, he was left all alone." "Do you feel sorry for him?" - asked the Lord. I replied: "It's a pity." “You feel sorry for one child,” said the Lord, “and I have so many of you that there is no such number. You all strive for wealth, do all kinds of lies.

You see how your property, which you cherished so much, is being plundered. Your property was plundered, the child was sent to an orphanage. And your filthy soul appeared before Me. It is necessary to save the soul first of all, because the age is miserable, I will soon come to judge you. Pray. " I asked: "How can I pray, I don't know any prayers."

The Lord replied: “Not that prayer is the road that is learned by heart, but that which is pronounced from a pure heart, from the depths of the soul. Stand anywhere and say: forgive me, Lord, help me. I see you, I hear you. "

Here appeared mother of God and I again found myself on that square, but no longer lying, but standing. Then the Mother of God went from me to the gate of indescribable beauty, from which there was such a light that human words cannot describe it. An Angel stayed with me.

The gates opened in front of the Mother of God, She entered the palace or garden. I thought it was heaven and asked the Lord to show me it.

When the Mother of God returned, I heard a voice: "Queen of Heaven, show her her paradise." The Mother of God waved her hand, and on the left side I saw: there were black burnt people, like skeletons, innumerable. They moaned so much, asked for a drink, but no one gave them a drop of water.

I was scared, I heard them say: “This soul came from the earthly paradise. In order to earn a fragrant scent in Heaven, you have to serve God on earth by faith and truth for the salvation of your soul. "

Then the Queen of Heaven pointed at these black people and said: “You have a rich charity in your earthly paradise. The Lord said: Whoever gives a cup of water in my name will receive a reward. And not only do you have a lot of water, you have plenty of everything, so give alms. An uncountable number of people here can get enough of one drop of water ... "

Then I ended up in tartare even worse than I was. There was darkness and fire. Demons ran up to me with charters in which my sins were recorded and showed me their terrible records. Fire flew out of their mouths, I was so scared. The demons beat me, some sparks stuck into me, from which I experienced severe pain.

There were people, many people, weary of suffering. They told me that in earthly life they did not recognize God, did not do good deeds, and that now I would be forever there with them. They gave me worms and all sorts of reptiles to eat because I did not observe fasts in my earthly life.

My soul trembled with horror. Therefore, together with the Mother of God, I began to climb upward, and below the people moaned: "Mother of God, do not leave us!"

I found myself on the site where I first saw the Mother of God.

She folded her arms over her chest, raised her eyes to the sky and asked: "What should I do with her?" And the voice of the Lord says: "Bring her down to earth."

Immediately, cars appeared from somewhere, 12 wheelbarrows without wheels, and they all moved. I had to step from wheelbarrow to wheelbarrow, as ordered by the Queen of Heaven.

When we got to the last wheelbarrow, it turned out to be without a bottom. The Mother of God said, "Go ahead."

I say I'm afraid I will fall.

“And we need you to fall,” She says. "But I will kill myself!" - "No, you won't kill yourself!"

The Mother of God gave me a braid, woven in three rows, and she herself held it by the end.

She shook her scythe, and I flew to the ground. On the ground, I saw cars going, people walking.

I saw that I was flying over the market, but I did not land, but I continued to fly to the morgue, where my body lay.

The morgue was closed, but somehow I went through the wall and saw my dead body: my head drooped a little, my side pressed against another dead man.

How and when I entered the body, I do not know, but I realized this when I felt cold. I somehow bent my knees, shrank from the cold, turned on my side.

At this time, a new dead man was just brought. I opened my eyes and saw the orderlies, and they ran away in horror. They called the doctors. They took me to the hospital again and began to warm me up. Two hours later, I spoke up. I had 8 stitches on my body as the students practiced on me.

My body was half-dead, but still on the 20th day I was able to eat.

I was offered pancakes with sour cream, but I refused, since it was Friday. I told the doctors where I had been, and that those who do not observe the fasts are forced to eat worms there.

The doctors listened to me at first with apprehension, thinking that I had lost my mind, and then with interesting and attention. Many people came to listen to my story about the other world. I told everything that I saw, and most importantly, that nothing hurts me.

It got to the point that the police began to disperse from me the people who came to marvel (the rumor spread throughout the city).

I was transferred to another hospital, where I finally recovered. But the doctors could not understand how I live practically without intestines, because I have cancer in the last stage.

We decided to do one more operation. Chief physician Valentina Vasilievna Alyabyeva opened the abdominal cavity and found that all my internal organs are like a child's.

The doctors were shocked, they did not understand how this could happen. I underwent the operation under local anesthesia, I talked during the operation, and I did not feel pain at all.

The doctors came to the unanimous opinion that, as they put it, God had reborn me. Valentina V. that my intestines practically rotted.

When I left the hospital, first of all I went to that temple, to that priest whom I called a parasite. She asked for forgiveness, confessed, received Holy Communion, consecrated her house.

Then I went to the district committee, and handed over my party card, since the former communist and atheist Claudia died. And since then I regularly go to church and try to live like a Christian. "

Short version

Briefly, the story of the Barnaul miracle reads as follows:

“In 1964, in Barnaul, during an operation for bowel cancer, a woman died - a simple saleswoman Klavdiya Ustyuzhanina, who did not believe in God. Her body was taken to the morgue, where it lay for 3 days, and then the deceased miraculously revived, and it soon became clear that cancer tumor disappeared without a trace. After her resurrection, the former atheist became a Christian and a convinced preacher of faith in the Lord. "

Christians may be given to you different variants of this story, the first thing you should do is refer to the main Orthodox primary source of this story, the letter of Claudia, written down by her son. As a rule, Christians present one of the distorted options, which gives a strong trump card in the hands of the critic.

1.Distortion of the original text

Orthodox publications distort this story, and Christiines repeat distorted versions without bothering to find the original source.

Basic information and all documentary evidence of the resurrection comes from the book POINT OMEGA. Part 2., written by Y. Vorobievsky. http://www.rus-sky.org/history/library/omega/omega2.htm Here, for the first time, the history of the appearance of Claudia's letter and the primary text of the letter are described, a scan of the first page of the certificate with the diagnosis is given. In the future, most stories are written precisely based on the text from this book, but the text of the letter and the details of the history and the availability of documents are significantly distorted.

For example, militant atheism, the awakening in the morgue, and other distortions of the original history for the sake of the corresponding Orthodox dogmas and traditions, are invented by modern journalists. For comparison, I gave three stories (the original version - 1, the first level of distortion - 2, the second level of distortion - 3), which I recommend to read in parallel, greatly clarifies the situation about those who tell us about miracles and piety. Recommend this reading to Christians.

Three versions of history from Orthodox literature Most often cited by Christians. If Christians refer to ufological or esoteric sources, then I do not recommend doing unnecessary comparison work. As a rule, there is even more distortion in them than in Orthodox publications.

Examples of distortions.

1.1. Documents in confirmation?

Initial version (1).

“Paper dated May 30. Literal quote: “During the operation, there was a clinical death. The patient was discharged from the railway hospital under the supervision of an oncological dispensary ... ""

Distortion (2)

Next - "The patient was discharged under the supervision of doctors ..." "

One entry turned into three documents.

1.2. Cancer of what?

Initial version (1).

“It was useless to cut anything out of the stomach, since it was covered with cancer; 1.5 liters of pus were pumped out.

Distortion (2)

“” My mother told me that she saw her body from the side. During the operation, she stood between the doctors and looked with horror at her decayed intestines "".

Distortion (3)

“In 1964, on February 19 at 11 o'clock in the afternoon, I was operated on, and a malignant tumor with decomposed intestines was discovered. I died during the operation. When my stomach was cut open, I stood between two doctors and looked with horror at my illness. The whole stomach was in cancerous nodes, as well as small intestines. "

The stomach has changed to intestines.

Initial version (1).

“When they came close to me (not reaching 1.5 or 2 meters - o.A.), the Woman asked:“ Lord, where is her? ” I heard a voice that replied to Her: "She needs to be lowered back, she died not on time."

Distortion (2)

“Approaching my mother, She lifted her eyes up and asked:“ Lord, where is her? ” Mom shuddered violently. Only then did she realize that she was dead. And suddenly she heard an extraordinary voice coming from somewhere above. The voice was so beautiful and loving that it was impossible to forget it: "She was taken for the time being for the virtues of her father and his incessant prayers."

Distortion (3)

“Lord, where is her? She stood with her arms folded across her chest, and her eyes lifted up. Then I shuddered strongly, realizing that I had died, and my soul was in heaven, and my body was on earth; and I immediately realized that I had many sins and I would have to answer for them. I began to cry bitterly. I turned my head to see the Lord, but I don't see anyone, but I hear the voice of the Lord. He said: bring her back to earth, she did not come on time, the virtue of her father and his incessant prayers pacified Me. "

The answer of God was changed, a version appeared about the father - the prayer book. Moreover, in one case, for the prayers of her father, she was taken to heaven as a reward, and in the other case, the prayers of her father are a reason to bring her back to earth.

In the end, it is worth conducting a counterattack and asking a question to the Orthodox.

Why do Orthodox publications distort the already existing, completely Orthodox, version of the story with Claudia?

Other Orthodox publications

2. Primary sources.

We obtain almost all the data about what happened to Claudia, first of all, from the letter (1) of Claudia, written down by her son, a priest, as he claims from her words. Secondly, from the memoirs of Archpriest Valentin Biryukov (4), who first met with Claudia within a year after the incident and met 5 more times, in addition, we have a refutation (5) of the doctor who operated on (Neimark), who in 1998 responded by exposing to publish about this miracle.

Comparison of the recordings of Biryukov and son Ustyuzhina suggests that the text of what is happening has changed, although not to such a significant extent. So the letter itself can be considered a fairly close reflection of Ustyuzhina's own version of what is happening.

“On the western side, I saw a gate resembling in its form the royal gate in the temple of God.

The radiance was so strong from them that if one could compare the radiance of gold or some other precious metal with their brilliance, it would be compared to these gates with coal.
Suddenly I saw that a tall Woman was walking towards me from the east. Austere, dressed in a long robe (as I learned later - a monastic), with a covered head. One could see a stern face, the ends of the fingers and part of the foot when walking. When She stood with her foot on the grass, she bent, and when she removed her leg, the grass unbent, assuming its previous position (and not as usual). A child walked beside her, reaching her only up to the shoulder. I tried to see his face, but I never succeeded, because he kept turning to me either sideways or with his back. As I found out later, it was my Guardian Angel. "

from Biryukov:

“And on the east side, she saw a gleaming gate about nine or ten stories high - no other person in the world can create such beauty! He won't even be able to portray. The gates are shining like the sun, multi-colored, colors move, play, shining sparks fly ... “Fine, warm. And I don't know where I am. And I wanted to know - but not a single person is present. The fragrant air ... I forgot that I lived on earth, I forgot that I was dying, and I even forgot Andryusha. And suddenly, through these oval gates from the air, a mother and daughter (this is how I perceived them then) in a brown monastic robe. They walk fast. The daughter is crying, she asks for something from the mother. The mother does not pay attention, she goes straight to me. "

It is quite obvious that the testimony (5) of the professor-surgeon, a direct participant in the events, deserves no less confidence than the stories of Claudia's son and his followers.

Almost all of Neimark's statements are confirmed by other sources, and the differences with Ustyuzhanina's version are only in the following:

Neimark claims that during the operation, the diagnosis of a malignant tumor was not confirmed, the operation was successful and after the operation, Claudia spent two days in intensive care, but quickly recovered. Claudia claims that during the operation, a stomach eaten away by cancer was found, that she died, lay for three days in the morgue, from where she was transferred to the ward (for more details, see additional material).

3. Documents

1. Testimony of the son:

“Believe me, it was so,” the priest Andrey assured. - Now doctors say that my mother was in intensive care. But I remember, they took me to my mother, and I remember the words "don't kiss on the mouth, kiss on the forehead." They probably wouldn't let me into intensive care ... ”(6).

In fact, children and visitors are not allowed into the morgue (unless there is a question of identification). Only to the ward. In reality, a morgue, these are several naked corpses, some of them have been opened, somewhere in parallel there is an autopsy. Such a sight is not for outsiders. Therefore, the described picture could have been in the ward.

2. Medical record:

In the text about the resurrection of Claudia, we read:

Paper dated May 30. Literal quote: “During the operation, there was a clinical death. The patient was discharged from the railway hospital under the supervision of an oncological dispensary ... "

But in her letter, Claudia writes "In March 1964, I went for a second operation ..."

Those. this record appeared even later than the second operation took place, when already all the documentation had to be closed.

Conclusion, this record is fiction. Probably, this fiction could not have appeared earlier, since the map had already been filled in after the March operation. It is interesting that such a record should have been left by the operating surgeon, after the first operation, together with another record about non-confirmation of the diagnosis, but the supporters of the miracle do not want to demonstrate this.

3. Help with the diagnosis.

On the certificate discharged on March 10, 1964, the diagnosis was written - "neoplasm with MTS" - in everyday speech - cancer with metastases. The help has survived to this day. Help scan.

The first thing that catches your eye is the lack of signatures and seals for certificates, i.e., this is no longer a medical document. Anyone could have written it out, and genuine certificates are always signed and stamped. To be honest, such a blatant fiction is striking.

You can continue thinking

Further, Claudia herself writes (1) that the store was handed over on February 17, and the operation was carried out on February 19 (Neymark confirms that in February). In addition, I was dead for three days (died on February 19, 1964, came to life on February 22). A few days later, without properly stitching my throat and leaving a fistula in the side of my abdomen, I was discharged home. " Those. back in February.

Again, it does not fit.

It is interesting that Neimark himself confirms that the patient was admitted with a diagnosis of cancer of the transverse colon, but the operation revealed another cause of the disease. " And Claudia should have had this certificate, with a direction, but they don't talk about it.

Therefore, I can offer a different version. In the area of ​​the blot (which does not allow the institution to be disassembled) and after the cut of the certificate, where the seals and signatures should be, another truth is hidden, namely, that this is a certificate in the direction, and the date of issue is February 10. II, simply corrected for March - 10. III. Just finish painting the stick.

But to explain the appearance of an entry in a medical record, a certificate without signatures and seals, a simpler explanation is also possible. A person with a damaged psyche was sure that they continued to hide the truth from him and did not specifically give him documents. and therefore, thinking that he is doing the right thing, he begins to forge these documents. This is how an absurd entry on May 30 appeared, a certificate without signatures and seals, and possibly a death certificate.

4. Certificate of death of Claudia.

No documentary evidence of the death of Claudia has survived. Neymork and other doctors (6) argue that the death was only clinical, and then the patient was in intensive care for two days. The priests claim that she died and rose again. The strongest argument is the testimony of Anatoly Berestov, doctor of medical sciences and rector of the house church, Rev. Seraphim Sarovsky at the Moscow Institute of Transplantology and Artificial Organs: “Indeed, I met this woman in the 60s at the Yaroslavl station,” the hieromonk shared. - I forgot the details. She said that she died in a state of clinical death on the operating table. I saw the death certificate .... " (6). But on the other hand, the words of the priest whom Claudia saw while she was in the next world are also interesting: “There was nothing like this,” says priest Nikolai Voitovich. “And she didn’t show me the death certificate. She had a clinical death, I spoke with the doctors afterwards. And she could, of course, see different pictures when she was recovering from anesthesia. When she showed up, I did not attach any importance to her stories. Then in Tomsk, during a sermon, the priest spoke about the “Barnaul miracle”, crowds of people came here from Tomsk. But in Barnaul it is not considered a miracle ”(6).

If so, then Berestov saw something that appeared much later than the resurrection, otherwise Voitovich would also have seen. But for some reason this certificate has not been preserved.

If Claudia lay in the morgue for three days, why was there no autopsy? Why did the certificate appear before the autopsy? Why did you get help so quickly?

Besides

One of the reasons is a telegram to my brother, but was there really such a telegram? No data available. In confirmation of the miracle, they talk about the commission that met about what happened, but again no evidence of this is given. In some articles, there is also a mention of a death certificate, but as a rule this is a distortion of the original history (see Example 1.1)

4. Schizophrenia?

Reading the original story, the strange conduct of Claudia, I get the impression that he was writing a man with a damaged psyche. Not surprisingly, a terrible disease, the beloved son will be left alone, from such experiences it is quite possible to lose his mind. Neymork's letter and the testimony of Claudia's neighbors contain the following detail:

“Ustyuzhanina promoted her holiness and organized a business, performed ablution and sold the used water as holy” (5).

“This is a swindler, this Klavka. An ordinary swindler. She told everyone that she was resurrected, people began to come to her, thinking that she was a saint. If the bent-over grandmother arrives empty-handed, she would not even let him on the threshold, and if they arrive with the trunks of gifts, she will. They put her in the bathroom, well ... they wash her, and then they themselves drink water. Ugh. “After these words, the woman, who did not want to introduce herself, went into the house without saying goodbye” (6).

And now let's get back to perhaps the only argument, more or less serious in favor of the story of Claudia:

Anatoly Berestov states:

“Indeed, I met this woman in the 60s at the Yaroslavl station,” the hieromonk said. - I forgot the details. She said that she died in a state of clinical death on the operating table. I saw a death certificate and a certificate from a mental hospital about schizophrenia. But the certificates never wrote "schizophrenia", the code was put in. So, someone needed to endow her with this certificate so that they would not believe her? She impressed me as a normal calm person. She said that she woke up in the morgue, and the attendant saw her pink legs. About what happened, I judge only by her story. As a medic, I kept asking her: "How could this be?" She answered: “I don’t know”. She complained about a bad dream, about the fact that the authorities oppress ”(6).

Probably, this will be the simplest explanation for Claudia's visions, fictitious and ridiculous documents, inadequate behavior with the spread of the water with which she washed.

The atheists did not stop there and made a request to the Ministry of Science:

Atheists' Inquiry about Publishing Unprofessional Information in the Media
"March 14, 2003, to the email address of the President Russian Federation V. V. Putin I (A. M. Krainev, at that time the chairman of the atheist society in Moscow - approx. Krot) sent a letter about pseudoscientific publications in the media. As an example, enclosed is a copy of one of the recent articles of this kind from Nezavisimaya Gazeta (NG dated February 26, 2003, address: http: // ng. Ru / science / 2003-02-26 / 15_ teleport. Html) ".
On March 26, a response came from the Presidential Administration as follows:
We inform you that your appeal, addressed to the President of the Russian Federation via the Internet, has been sent for consideration to the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Press, Television and Radio Broadcasting and Mass Media.

but the "cart" is still there

“When religiosity meets passion

to the miraculous, then the end of all common sense

(David Hume, English philosopher and historian).

Barnaul miracle arch. Andrey Ustyuzhanin

Georgievna

A story about the true events that took place in the city of Barnaul with Claudia Ustyuzhanina in 1964
The story of K.N. Ustyuzhanina was recorded literally by her son, Archpriest Andrei Ustyuzhanin
I, Ustyuzhanina Klavdiya Nikitichna, was born on March 5, 1919. in the village of Yarki, Novosibirsk Region, in a large family of peasant Nikita Trofimovich Ustyuzhanin. There were fourteen children in the family, but the Lord did not leave us with His grace.
In 1928 I lost my mother. Older brothers and sisters went to work (I was the penultimate child in the family). The people loved my father very much for his responsiveness and justice. He helped those in need as much as he could. When he fell ill with typhoid fever, the family had a hard time, but the Lord did not leave us. In 1934, my father died.
After seven years, I went to study at a technical school, and then graduated from the driver's courses (1943 - 1945). In 1937 I got married. A year later, the daughter of Alexander was born, but two years later she fell ill and died. After the war, I lost my husband. It was hard on my own, I had to work in all kinds of jobs and positions.
In 1941, my pancreas began to hurt, and I began to turn to doctors for help.
I got married a second time, we didn't have children for a long time. Finally, in 1956, my son Andryusha was born. When the child was 9 months old, my husband and I separated, because he drank heavily, was jealous of me, and treated his son badly.
In 1963 - 1964. I had to go to the hospital for examination. I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. However, not wanting to upset me, I was told that the tumor was benign. I wanted to be told the truth, without hiding anything, but they only told me that my card was in the oncological dispensary. Arriving there and wanting to know the truth, I pretended to be my sister, who is interested in the medical history of a relative.

I was told that I have a malignant tumor, or so-called cancer.
Before undergoing the operation, I had to arrange for my son in case of death and make an inventory of the property. When the inventory was made, they began to ask my relatives who would take my son to her, but everyone refused him, and then they registered him in an orphanage.
On February 17, 1964, I handed over the cases in my store, and on February 19, I was already in operation. It was conducted by the famous professor Israel Isaevich Neimark (a Jew by nationality), together with three doctors and seven student trainees. It was useless to cut anything out of the stomach, since it was covered with cancer; 1.5 liters of pus were pumped out. Death came right on the operating table.
I did not feel the very process of separating my soul from the body, only suddenly I saw my body from the side, as we see, for example, some thing: a coat, a table, etc. I see people scurrying around my body, trying bring me back to life.
I hear everything and understand what they are talking about. I feel and worry, but I cannot let them know that I am here.
Suddenly I found myself in places close and dear to me, where I was ever offended, where I cried, and in other difficult and memorable places. However, I did not see anyone near me, and how much time it took for me to visit these places, and how my movement was carried out - for me all this remained an incomprehensible mystery.
Suddenly I found myself in a completely unfamiliar area, where there were no houses, no people, no forest, no plants. Then I saw a green alley, not very wide and not very narrow. Although I was in this alley in a horizontal position, I was lying not on the grass itself, but on a dark square object (about 1.5 by 1.5 meters), but what material it was from, I could not determine, since I was unable to touch it with their own hands.
The weather was moderate: not very cold and not very hot. I didn’t see the sun shining there, but it’s impossible to say that the weather was cloudy. I got the urge to ask someone where I am. On the western side, I saw a gate resembling in its form the royal gate in the temple of God. The radiance was so strong from them that if it were possible to compare the radiance of gold or some other precious metal with their brilliance, it would be compared to these gates with coal (not radiance, but material. - Ed.).
Suddenly I saw that a tall Woman was walking towards me from the east. Austere, dressed in a long robe (as I learned later - a monastic), with a covered head. One could see a stern face, the ends of the fingers and part of the foot when walking. When She stood with her foot on the grass, she bent, and when she removed her leg, the grass unbent, assuming its previous position (and not as usual). A child walked beside her, reaching her only up to the shoulder. I tried to see his face, but I never succeeded, because he kept turning to me either sideways or with his back. As I found out later, it was my Guardian Angel. I was delighted, thinking that when they come closer, I can ask them where I am.
All the time the child asked something of the Woman, stroked Her hand, but She treated him very coldly, not listening to his requests. Then I thought: “She is so ruthless. If my son Andryusha asked me for something as this child asks of Her, I would even buy him what he asks for with the last money. "
Not reaching 1.5 or 2 meters The woman, raising her eyes up, asked: "Lord, where is her?" I heard a voice that answered her: "She needs to be lowered back, she died not on time." It was like a crying male voice. If it could be identified, it would be a baritone velvet hue. When I heard this, I realized that I was not in some city, but in heaven. But at the same time, I had a hope that I could get down to earth. The woman asked: "Lord, what to put her down on, does she have short hair?" I again heard the answer: "Give her a braid in the right hand, matching the color of her hair."
After these words, the Woman entered the gate I had previously seen, and Her child remained standing next to me. When Her was gone, I thought that if this Woman spoke to God, then I can, and asked: "Do they say on earth that you have paradise here somewhere?" However, there was no answer to my question. Then I once again turned to the Lord: “I have Small child". And I hear in response: “I know. Do you feel sorry for him? "
- “Yes,” - I answer and hear: “So, I feel sorry for you each three times. And I have so many of you that there is no such number. You walk according to My grace, breathe My grace and incline Me in every way. " And I also heard: “Pray, a miserable century of life has remained. Not the prayer that is powerful, which you have read or learned somewhere, but the one that from a pure heart, stand anywhere and tell Me: “Lord, help me! Lord, give me! " I see you, I hear you. "
At this time, the Woman with the scythe returned, and I heard a voice addressing Her: "Show her paradise, she asks where is paradise here."
The woman came up to me and held out her hand over me. As soon as She did so, it was as if I was thrown by an electric current, and I immediately found myself in an upright position. After that, She turned to me with the words: "Your heaven on earth, and here is the kind of heaven," and showed me to the left. And then I saw a great many people, closely standing to each other. They were all black, covered with burnt leather. There were so many of them that, as they say, the apple had nowhere to fall. Only the whites of the eyes and teeth were white. They gave off such an unbearable stench that when I came to life, then some more. time felt it. The smell in the toilet is like perfume compared to it. People talked among themselves: "This one has arrived from the earthly paradise." They tried to recognize me, but I could not identify any of them. Then the Woman told me: “For these people, the dearest charity on earth is water. Countless people get drunk with one drop of water ”.
Then She passed her hand again, and the people were not visible. But suddenly I see that twelve objects are moving in my direction. In their shape, they resembled wheelbarrows, but only without wheels, however, there were no people who would move them. These items moved independently. When they swam up to me, the Woman gave me a scythe in her right hand and said: "Step on these cars and go forward all the time." And I went first with my right foot, and then putting my left foot on it (not the way we walk - right, left).
When I thus reached the last - the twelfth, it turned out to be without a bottom. I saw the whole earth, but as well, clearly and clearly as we don't even see our palm. I saw a temple, next to it is a store in which I recent times worked. I said to the Woman: "I worked in this store." She answered me: "I know." And I thought: "If She knows that I worked there, then it turns out that She knows and what I did there."
I also saw our priests, standing with their backs to us and in civilian clothes. The woman asked me, "Do you recognize any of them?" Looking at them more closely, I pointed to Fr. Nikolai Vaitovich and called him by his first name and patronymic, as secular people do. At that moment, the priest turned in my direction. It was him, he was wearing a suit that I had never seen before.
The woman said, "Come here." I replied: "There is no bottom here, I will fall." And I hear: "We need you to fall." - "But I will crash." - "Do not be afraid, you will not break." Then She shook the scythe, and I found myself in the morgue in my body. How or in what way I entered it - I do not know. At this time, a man was brought into the morgue, whose leg was cut off. Some of the orderlies noticed signs of life in me. The doctors were informed about this, and they took all the necessary measures to save me: they gave me an oxygen bag, gave me injections. I was dead for three days (I died on February 19, 1964, came to life on February 22). A few days later, without properly stitching my throat and leaving a fistula in the side of my abdomen, I was discharged home. I could not speak loudly, so I uttered the words in a whisper (my vocal cords were damaged). When I was still in the hospital, my brain thawed very slowly. It manifested itself in this way. For example, I understood that it was my thing, but I couldn't remember right away what it was called. Or when my son came to me, I understood that this was my child, but I could not immediately remember what his name was. Even when I was in this state, if I was asked to tell about what I saw, I would immediately do it. I got better and better every day. An unsecured throat and a fistula in the side of my abdomen prevented me from eating properly. When I ate something, some of the food went through the throat and fistula.
In March 1964, I underwent a second operation in order to find out about my state of health and to have my stitches sewn up. The second operation was performed by the famous doctor Valentina Vasilievna Alyabyeva. During the operation, I saw doctors digging into my insides, and wanting to know my condition, they asked me various questions, and I answered them. After the operation, Valentina Vasilievna, in great excitement, told me that there was not even a suspicion in my body that I had stomach cancer: everything inside was like a newborn.
After the second operation, I came to Izrail Isaevich Neimark's apartment and asked him: “How could you be so mistaken? If we are wrong, we are judged. " And he replied: "This was ruled out, since I saw it all myself, all the assistants who were present with me saw it, and, finally, this was confirmed by the analysis."
By the grace of God, at first I felt very good, began to go to church, to receive communion. All this time I was interested in the question: Who was the Woman I saw in the sky? Once, being in the church, I recognized Her image on one of the icons of the Mother of God (Kazan icon. - Ed.) Then I realized that it was the Queen of Heaven herself.
Having told about. To Nikolai Vaitovich, about what happened to me, I mentioned the suit in which I saw him then. He was very amazed by what he heard and somewhat embarrassed by the fact that he had never worn this costume before that time.
The enemy of the human race began to build various intrigues, many times I asked the Lord to show me evil power. How foolish is man! Sometimes we ourselves do not know what we are asking for and what we need. Once a deceased was carried by our house with music. I wondered who was being buried. I opened the gate, and - oh horror! It is difficult to imagine the state that gripped me at that moment. An indescribable sight appeared before me. It was so terrible that there are no words to express the state in which I found myself. I saw many evil spirits. They sat on the coffin and on the deceased himself, and everything around was filled with them. They flew in the air and rejoiced that they had taken possession of another soul. "Lord have mercy!" - involuntarily escaped from my lips, I crossed myself and closed the gate. I began to ask the Lord to help me in the future to endure the intrigues of an evil spirit, to strengthen my weak strength and weak faith.
In the second half of our house, there was a family that was associated with an evil force. They tried to find different ways to spoil me, but the Lord did not allow this for the time being. At that time we had a dog and a cat who were constantly attacked by an evil spirit. As soon as they ate something thrown by these sorcerers, the poor animals began to twist and twist unnaturally. We quickly took out holy water for them, and the evil force immediately left them.
Once, by the permission of God, they managed to spoil me. At this time, my son was in a boarding school. I lost my legs. For several days I lay alone without food or water (at that time no one knew about what had happened to me). There was only one thing left for me - to trust in the mercy of God. But His mercy to us sinners is inexpressible. One morning an elderly woman (a secret nun) came to me and began to look after me: she cleaned, cooked. My hands were free, and so that I could sit down with their help, a rope was tied to the back of the bed, at my feet. But the enemy of the human race tried to destroy the soul in various ways. I felt how in my mind there was a struggle between two forces: evil and good. Some suggested to me: "Nobody needs you now, you will never be what you were before, so it is better for you not to live in this world." But my consciousness was illuminated by another, already bright, thought: "But after all, cripples, freaks live in the world, why shouldn't I live?" Again evil forces were approaching: "Everyone calls you a fool, so suffocated." And another thought answered her: "Better to be a fool to live than to be smart to rot." I felt that the second thought, bright, closer and dearer to me. From this consciousness it became calmer and more joyful. But the enemy did not leave me alone.
One day I woke up from the fact that something was interfering with me. It turned out that the rope was tied from the legs to the head of the bed, and a noose was wrapped around my neck ...
I often asked the Mother of God and all the Heavenly Powers to heal me from my illness. Once my mother who looked after me, having remade homework and having prepared food, closed all the doors on the locks, lay down on the sofa and fell asleep. I was praying at that time. Suddenly I see a tall Woman enter the room. With the help of the rope, I pulled myself up and sat down, trying to make out the newcomer. The woman came to my bed and asked: "What hurts you?" I answered: "Legs." And then She began to slowly move away, and I, trying to get a better look at Her, not noticing what I was doing, began to gradually lower my legs to the floor. She asked me this question twice more, and the same number of times I answered that my legs hurt. Suddenly the Woman was gone. I, not realizing that I was on my feet, went into the kitchen and began to look around, wondering where this Woman could have gone, and thought that she had taken something. At this time, mother woke up, I told her about the Woman and my suspicions, and she said with surprise: “Klava! After all, you are walking! " Only then did I understand what had happened, and tears of gratitude for the miracle performed by the Mother of God covered my face. Wonderful are Thy works, O Lord!
Not far from our city of Barnaul there is a spring called Pekansky ("key"). Many people received healing there from various ailments. People came from all sides to drink holy water, anoint themselves with miraculous mud, but most importantly, to be healed. The water in this spring is unusually cold, scalding the body. By the grace of God, I have visited this holy place several times. Every time we got there by passing cars, and every time I got relief.
Once, having asked the driver to give me a seat, I drove the car myself. We arrived at the source and began to swim. The water is icy, but there was no case that someone got sick or at least got a runny nose. Having bathed, I got out of the water and began to pray to God, the Mother of God, St. Nicholas, and suddenly I see the Mother of God appearing in the water, seen by me during my death. With awe and warm feeling I looked at Her. This went on for several minutes. Gradually, the face of the Mother of God began to disappear, and now it was impossible to discern anything. This miracle was not seen by me alone, but by many people present here. With a grateful prayer we turned to the Lord and the Mother of God, who showed us His mercy to sinners.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill in men!

I read this article several years ago. Now it has been edited: all emotions have been removed; a story about what Klavdia communicated and hung at work; about how relatives quarreled over her goodness; that she called the priest a parasite; that after the resurrection she was persecuted. In general, everything that gives this story credibility.

1964 year. February 19. 11 o'clock in the afternoon. The patient underwent surgery. The operation was performed by Professor Israel Isaich Neymar in the presence of ten doctors. During the operation, a malignant tumor with decomposed intestines was discovered, from where 1.5 liters of pus were pumped out. During the operation, the patient died at 2 pm. And the soul parted with the body. Her corpse was carried into the glacier at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. From that moment, the vision of Claudia began.

CLAUDIA'S STORY

When I flew down, on the way I was shown the places where and when I was from my youth. I do not know what I flew on, in the air or in a cloud, I cannot explain. During my flight, I was in a recumbent position, and when I flew to the first heavenly kingdom, the day was unclear and cloudy. When I stopped, I was definitely lying, and on what, I don't know, like on plywood, but it was soft and black. And I see an alley, not wide, but long, there is no end to be seen, and along the alley the bushes are not high, I don't know what kind of trees they are. On the bushes, the twigs are very thin, and the leaves are pointed on both sides. I don’t know, I didn’t understand where I arrived, in the city or somewhere else.

I see a very beautiful woman walking along this alley, and a young man, as I thought in an earthly way, followed her.

I see that this young man is crying and as if asking for something from Her, but She does not pay attention to him. I thought what kind of mother she was that the child was asking for, but she didn’t want to give it to him. I would not regret anything for my son Andreika, no matter what he asked. This Woman came up to me and said: "Lord, what to do with her?" Then I turned my head to see the Lord, but I saw no one, but I heard the voice of the Lord. The Lord said, “Bring her back. She did not come on time. " It was only then that I realized that I was in heaven. And this a beautiful woman- The Queen of Heaven, the young man who followed Her and cried and begged Her - this was my Guardian Angel. Then the Queen of Heaven speaks to the Lord: short hair": And I hear the voice of the Lord:" Go and pick up a braid to match the color of her hair, give her a braid with a thick end in her right hand. " She went for the scythe, and I watched where she went.

The Queen of Heaven approached the Great Gate and went to the doors whose structure or binding was in an oblique line, like the royal doors in the altar, their beauty is indescribable, and the light emanated from them such that it was impossible to look. She came to the gates and they themselves opened before Her. The Heavenly Queen went inside, and I stopped. The Guardian Angel remained near me, but he did not show me his face. I had a desire to ask and at the same time complain to the Lord, and I said: "Lord, I have a little child left." And I hear the voice of the Lord God: "Do you feel sorry for your child"? I replied that I was very sorry for my son, and the Lord said: “You feel sorry for your child, but I feel sorry for you all three times more, each of you. Which path you have chosen in life is wrong. Why do you strive to acquire great wealth for yourself? Why do all sorts of untruths? And the Lord showed me how and who dragged my belongings. And the Lord says to me: “You see how your property is being plundered and to whom it all went. All of your property was plundered, the child was handed over to an orphanage, and your dirty soul came here to serve Satan and make a sacrifice to him.

The Lord also said: "Save, save your souls, pray, the age is scanty, I will soon come to judge the World." - "Lord, how can I pray, I do not know prayers." And the Lord said that you need to pray from a pure heart, such a prayer will be pleasing and pleasing to Me. And then I began to ask to show me paradise. I say: "Lord, do you have paradise here?" But the Lord did not answer. And when the Queen of Heaven came, the Lord told her to show her paradise. And so She passed her hand over me and I instantly stood up. When I got up, She said to me: “You have a paradise on earth for sinners, but here is such a paradise for them,” she lifted the veil on the left side. And I saw that there were black people standing there, like burnt people. They are like skeletons and their myriad, and a malignant smell emanates from them. When I remember now, I feel that intolerable stench and am afraid to die so as not to get there. And these people are all moaning, and their larynx has dried up, they ask for a drink. The Queen of Heaven told them that you ate and drank, and now you endure here. I can hear these people say: "This soul came from the earthly paradise, it smells fragrant." Maybe some of my relatives and friends are there, in this hell? The Queen of Heaven showed me these black people and said: “At least someone gave them a drop of water! In your earthly paradise, charity and even this drop of water are precious. Give alms, as much as you can, from a pure heart and with all your soul, as the Lord said in the Gospel. "

When the Queen of Heaven showed me everything, it was time to get me out of there. Cars appeared, but they did not have wheels, and they moved in the amount of 12 pieces. The Queen of Heaven tell me: "Get your right foot in the wheelbarrow, and then put your left foot." So I did, crossed everything, stepping into the wheelbarrow with my right foot and then with my left, and the Queen of Heaven walked next to me. When I approached the last wheelbarrow, there was no bottom and our city was visible through the hole, it was very far away. The Heavenly Queen said to me: “Get down right leg forward and then left. I say, "I'm afraid I will fall." And She and say that so they need me to fall. "So I will kill myself"? - "No, you will not be killed." She gave me the thick end of the braid in my right hand, and took the thin one for herself. The braid was woven into three strands. The Queen of Heaven shook her scythe and I flew down.

At this time, the Guardian Angel hugged me. When I flew, I saw how cars were driving on the ground, how people went to work. I saw that I was flying over the New Market Square, but did not land, but flew to the same glacier where my body lay. I flew to the body, but how the soul entered the body, I do not know. When I opened my eyes, I saw that a man was brought into the glacier on a stretcher, whose both legs were cut off by train and he bled to death. They brought him dead into the glacier, and I stirred and saw the porters come up to me. They took the dead man off the stretcher, and they took me onto the stretcher, brought me to the operating room and called the doctor. By the time the doctor came, I had already started talking. Then they put me in a ward and decided that I would live no more than 3-10 days. It was February 26, 1964, at 6 am; I was in the hospital for 31 days. My corpse was half-frozen and gradually receded. They fed me artificially. After 21 days my condition improved and I was discharged home. I stayed at home for a while, and then they took me to the city hospital for a second operation and for packing my entrails. When I died, the doctors dissected me and looked at where and how the tumor passed. Then my insides were thrown off all at once and sewn up. The doctors were interested to test how I could come to life when the intestines were half-dead and the tongue was cut out. They wanted to put me to sleep before the operation, I refused and said that I would endure without being put to sleep. The doctors cut everything up and began to push everything out again, and I lay unbroken and heard everything how they were stirring up the insides. Everything was clean and healthy, nowhere was there any trace where it could be seen what was cut off and hurt. All my insides were renewed, like a newborn's. During the operation, it didn't hurt at all. And the doctors tested me: "Here, Klava, now you will recover and get married!" And I told them: "Come on, let's get it faster, otherwise I feel bad." So they asked three times: "Klava, does it hurt?" And I answered them that it didn't hurt at all. They see that I am out of my mind and do not ask any more. And when the last suture was made, the head physician Valentina Vasilievna, who was performing the operation, went out into the corridor, fell into a chair and sobbed. She was asked: "What, Klava died"? And she said that she was not dead, but what patience did she have? During the entire operation, she did not even publish a single groan. It seems that God helped her!

Klavdia also says that when she was in the city hospital under the supervision of Valentina Vasilievna (the head physician), Professor Neymar, who performed the first operation, repeatedly tried to persuade the head physician to kill Klavdia in some way, but Valentina Vasilievna did not agree and did not leave for a long time. her. Day and night, the chief doctor herself watered and fed Klava, fearing that someone would poison her.

Now Klavdia Nikitichna is alive and well, she lives with her son Andreika, who is in the 6th grade. Klava feels good and praises the Lord God and the Queen of Heaven.

The second operation was performed by the head physician Alyabyeva Valentina Vasilievna in the presence of many doctors from different hospitals. The director of the medical institute said that this was an unprecedented event in world history, only the great power of God could do it. Before the operation, Klavdia Nikitichna worked as a store manager. She lived well and luxuriously in her house, where she now lives with her son, but not in a worldly way, but by the will of God. A lot of great people, believers and unbelievers visit her, she meets everyone as brothers and sisters. The address of this woman: Altai Territory, the city of Barnaul, Nadezhda Krupskaya street, house 96. Ustyuzhanina Klavdia Nikitichna.

Resurrection of Claudia Ustyuzhanina

The story of Archpriest Andrei Ustyuzhanin about the death and subsequent resurrection of his mother Claudia

The servant of God Claudia was born into a family of pious parents in the village of Yarki, Novosibirsk region in 1919; she was the penultimate child. Her mother died in 1928. My father, having visited the GULAG, also died soon after (in 1934). Claudia's father was a beggar, a believer; always willingly lent, never demanding anything back. Take, for example, this fact: before the start of dispossession, her father, Nikita Timofeevich, sowed three hectares of land with wheat annually in order to distribute the harvest to needy fellow villagers. The family, besides Claudia, had thirteen children, so when my father was sent to prison, it was very difficult; even asked for alms. Once the boys robbed Claudia - they took all the bread and alms, and the family was left hungry.
Not long before the war, Claudia got married. The husband returned from the front very sick. She soon married a second time. From the second marriage, a son was born (now Fr. Andrei). Since the beginning of the war, Claudia began to worry about stomach pains, which worsened over time, and in 1964, doctors discovered a tumor and strongly recommended to undergo surgery. To find out the nature of the tumor, Claudia went for a trick and, calling herself her own sister, asked the registry for her medical history. The diagnosis was: malignant tumor of the pancreas.
In February 1964, she was admitted for surgery at the railway hospital in Barnaul, where she lived at that time. The famous surgeon, Israel Isaevich Neimark, operated on her.
Even before the war, Klavdia moved to Barnaul, where she got a job in a grocery store. By the way, the store was located next to the church. Although Claudia did not believe in God, she was not His implacable opponent. Sometimes she went to church, lit candles for the repose. At first I was confused, wrote down the names of the living and the dead at the memorial service. She also sometimes prayed for the peace of her neighbors and in home prayer.
Although the surgeon who operated was very skilled in his profession, Claudia nevertheless died under a scalpel. The cancer was very extensive and, in fact, there was nothing to cut.
Claudia described the first seconds after her death as follows. Suddenly she saw herself standing away from the operating table. I saw and heard how doctors and assistants complained, trying to bring her body back to life. Claudia told them that it was not necessary to do this, but the doctors did not hear her. When all the methods of resuscitation were tried, the peritoneum of the deceased was sewn together and the body was sent to the morgue. Then her soul began to travel to all the places where she had been in her life from birth to death; She even ended up in the place where the boys took away her alms. On the third day, the soul ascended to heaven.
Claudia told about it this way: “I was in some kind of endless space. It was like a fog, but at the same time it was not fog, and it went into infinity. " She herself was lying on a dark square object, similar to dense matter, which was located in a very long alley with lush green grass. The source of the light was unclear, the light came from everywhere; the alley also began at infinity. On the western side stood the Royal Doors, made of shining luminiferous metal, much more precious than earthly gold and platinum.
Soon Claudia saw that a tall woman in a monk's attire and a crying young man (as she thought, her son) were walking towards her along the alley.
All this time the young man asked this Wife for something, stroked Her hand, but She rather severely refused his tearful pleas.
Claudia still thought then: “How cruel she is! Yes, if my son, Andryusha, prayed so with tears, I would buy what he asks for with the last money. " At the same time, Claudia noticed that when the Woman stepped on the grass, she crumpled, when she removed her leg, stepping over, the grass returned to its previous position. Soon the Woman answered the young man walking next (as Claudia later found out, it was her Guardian Angel): "Now we will ask the Lord what to do with this soul." And only then Claudia realized that she was ascended to heaven.
Then the Wife, raising her hands, asked: "Lord, what's wrong with this soul?"
And from somewhere from above, a strong and imperious voice, but at the same time full of sorrow and tears, was heard: “Send this soul back. She died not on time. " Then the Woman asked: "Lord, her hair is cropped, what should I put it down on?" The Lord replied, "Take a braid in the color of her hair and put it down." After that, the Woman went out to the Royal Doors, while the young man remained near Claudia.
When the Woman left, Claudia thought: "If She spoke with God, then I can." And she said: "On earth they say that you have paradise here somewhere." There was no answer. Then she once again turned to the Lord: "I have a small child." And she heard in response: “I know. Do you feel sorry for him? " “Yes,” she replied. And he hears: “So, I am three times more sorry for you each. And I have so many of you that there is no such number. You walk according to My grace, breathe My grace and abuse Me in every way. " And she also heard: “Not the prayer that is powerful, which you have read or learned somewhere, but the one that is from a pure heart. Stand up and tell Me: "Lord, help me!" I see you, I hear you. "
At this time, the Mother of God returned with a scythe. And then there was a voice addressed to Her: "Show her paradise, she asks where is paradise here." The Mother of God came up and stretched out her hand over Claudia. As soon as the Mother of God did this, Claudia was thrown up as if by an electric current and she immediately found herself in an upright position. Then the Mother of God said: “Your paradise is on earth. And here is your paradise. " And she ran her hand to the left. And then Claudia saw a huge multitude of people standing close to each other. They were all black as firebrands; only the teeth and whites of the eyes were white. But the most intolerable is the stench that emanated from them; the stench from the garbage pit is French perfume compared to that stench. This stench tormented her for a long time after the resurrection.
As the elders of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra later explained to her (in particular, Archimandrite Cyril), these were shown the souls of sinners begged by the Church from hell. The Lord delivered them from suffering, but did not let them into paradise, for in their earthly life they sinned a lot, but repented little, or did not repent at all. (This just indicates the absence of Catholic Purgatory, for if the Church had not prayed, no one would have purified themselves. Of the Last Judgment will remain on the threshold of paradise. From this we can conclude that Claudia was shown the true state of her soul, which could only go to this "paradise".)
Here the Mother of God said to Claudia: “For these people, the dearest alms on earth is water. Countless people get drunk with one drop of water ”. Then She passed her hand again and the people were not visible. Meanwhile, Claudia saw that twelve objects were moving in her direction, resembling cars in the form of a wheelbarrow, but only without wheels. When they swam up to her, the Mother of God gave a scythe in her right hand and said: "Step on these cars and go forward all the time."
When they got to the twelfth item, it was bottomless. Then Claudia saw the whole earth, and as clearly as in her palm. Then I saw the city of Barnaul, my house, a church, next to it - the store in which I worked. Claudia said then: "I worked in this store." The Mother of God answered: "I know." (Hearing this, Claudia thought: if She knows that I worked there, then she knows what I did there.)
In the church she saw both the priests, standing with their backs to them, and people in civilian clothes. The Mother of God asked: "Do you recognize any of them?" Claudia pointed to Fr. Nikolai Voitovich, out of secular habit calling him by his first name and patronymic. At that moment, the priest turned in her direction. Then the Mother of God commanded: "Come here." Claudia objected: "There is no bottom here, I will fall." “Don't be afraid, you won't break,” the Mother of God ordered again. Then she shook the scythe that was in right hand Claudia. She stepped down and found herself in the morgue in her body.
According to Claudia's recollections, she was unbearably disgusted to enter her own corpse, but an irresistible force pushed her there. Claudia's body began to revive, to make convulsive movements (especially since other corpses had already been piled on her). The morgue keepers, seeing that the "dead" was moving, called " ambulance”, And Claudia was taken to the intensive care unit: but not to the railway hospital, where she died, but to another.
By God's permission, they did not manage to take Claudia out of the morgue and bury him.
Father Andrey did not specify why; apparently, there were several reasons. Firstly, the relatives were told late about the death - on the second day. While they were giving telegrams (Claudia's relatives were numerous), while they were borrowing money for the funeral, digging a grave, more time passed. Finally, when they came to collect the body, the relatives learned that the deceased ... had come to life and taken to the hospital.
Claudia's older brother even received two telegrams. One with the text: "Claudia is dead." And the next day the second: "Claudia is risen."
After a two-month resuscitation (she was dead for three days, which made her recovery slow), Claudia was discharged home. Her body did not take food for a long time; she had two fistulas - one in her throat and the other in her side, on the right, so all the food went out there. The brain also recovered slowly. When she was handed a thing and asked: "Is this your thing?", She answered: "Yes." But I could not answer the question, what is it called.

Also to the question: "Is this your son (or another relative)?" - answered: "Yes". And what was the name, again I could not remember.
When Claudia's health recovered, she was again taken to the hospital (where she underwent intensive care) for a second autopsy and to determine the severity of the disease. This time, Claudia was operated on by the surgeon Valentina Vasilievna Alyabyeva. Alyabyeva's husband was a relative of Claudia's husband, so she knew the story of Claudia's resurrection and insisted on the operation. Valentina Vasilievna left the operating room with tears of joy and bewilderment. She said, “You know, she doesn't have any cancer. Her insides are pink, like a child's. She is completely healthy. "
Having finally recovered and wanting to get rid of doubts, Claudia went to the house of the surgeon I.I.Neymark. When he opened the door to the former patient, he was greatly dumbfounded. Claudia asked: “Izrail Isaevich, how could you be mistaken, after all, you are a famous surgeon? If we make mistakes in trade, then we are severely punished. " To which Neimark replied: “I could not be mistaken, for the state of your insides was seen not only by me, but also by the entire operating room personnel; there were continuous metastases. This is the first thing. Secondly, the analyzes clearly indicated that the tumor was malignant. Third, we fought for your life. Nothing helped - no injections, no oxygen. "
Claudia was finally convinced that all this was not a dream and she was really dead for three days. When she went to church after her recovery, she recognized the Wife on the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, who had talked with her in heaven; Her dress and appearance were the same as on this holy icon.
A year after the resurrection, VTEK recognized Claudia as completely healthy. She was again invited to work in the store (although she handed over all the cases, there was no order to dismiss). But something constantly interfered, suddenly the disease attacked and Klavdia could not go to work. The Lord directed her to another path - the path of preaching. For thousands and thousands of people learned about her, hundreds visited her house. Many have gained faith through this.
However, the devil fought: there were cases when neighbors wrote to the appropriate authorities in order to stop the endless stream of pilgrims going to the Ustyuzhanins. This ultimately caused the family to move from Barnaul to the city of Strunino, Vladimir region. Moreover, the KGB told her unambiguously: “If you don’t stop preaching, we will find a way so that you will not be resurrected again.”
But the move to Strunino was providential, for it allowed Claudia to visit the holy places; in particular, in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Elder Kirill (Pavlov) said to her: "The Lord raised you up through the prayers of your parent, who was rewarded with heavenly abodes for love of poverty, charity and innocent suffering in the camps."
The servant of God Claudia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina lived for more than 14 years after her first death on February 19-22, 1964. She died in the town of Strunino, Vladimir region. Her son, Archpriest Andrei Ustyuzhanin, serves in the Holy Trinity Church of the Assumption Convent in the town of Alexandrov, Vladimir Region.
Story about. Andrei is not unfounded, because he has documents on his hands: medical reports on the causes of death (medical history, conclusion of a council of doctors), as well as on resurrection (medical history with conclusions on subsequent recovery, on the result of a second operation (diagnosis - no tumor and metastasis ), about a completely healthy gastrointestinal system).

Additions and clarifications to the described case
about the resurrection of Claudia Ustyuzhanina

In 1996, the publishing house "Vokrug Sveta" published a brochure prepared by Nikolai Leonov - "Two Lives and Two Deaths of Claudia Ustyuzhanina." In this regard, I would like to make some amendments and additions.
For example, the brochure indicates that Ustyuzhanina's corpse had significant damage. Father Andrey, telling this story, made a slip of the tongue that the students practiced on the corpse of his mother. The result of this practice was a slit throat and damaged vocal cords, as well as an unsecured abdomen (it was only taken on braces).
Earlier, in 1993, the Trim publishing house published the book Orthodox Miracles of the 20th Century, which also describes this case. But, unfortunately, the material has not been verified in detail. Take, for example, the episode when the Lord allegedly sent Claudia to hell. According to Father Andrey, this was not the case. Or, for example, the book describes how the surgeon Neimark with a group of assistants bursts into the operating room when V.V. Alyabyeva performs a second autopsy. Not only did he allegedly interfere with the operation, but also, it turns out, he tried to persuade Alyabyeva to poison Claudia (?!). Then the authors, scrupulously following the canons of the opera genre, confront Ustyuzhanina and Neymark in a dispute (during the operation!) On issues of an almost universal level, from which the operated with honor emerged victorious.
The third lie is striking, which, by the way, is also pointed out by Nikolai Leonov. This is that Klavdia Nikitichna (daughter of a repressed, "kulak", enemy of the people) was a prominent party worker. It is also a lie that she drank endlessly and generally led a riotous lifestyle ...
As they say in such cases, let's leave it on the conscience of the authors.
I would like to briefly comment on some of the details noted in the brochure. For example, such an important detail: the Mother of God told Claudia that many people were drinking with one drop of water (i.e. alms). This shows once again that the departed need prayerful remembrance.
The nature of Claudia's persecution is also described in detail. And they came both from the neighbors who were engaged in witchcraft, and from the side of the godless authorities. Neighbors diligently sent damage to Claudia, which is why she fell ill with paralysis of the legs. No treatment helped. And only the Mother of God, who appeared at the ardent prayers of the sick, healed her.
Claudia told about it this way: “I was praying at that time and suddenly I see a tall Woman enter the room. She came to my bed and asked: "What hurts you?" I answered: "Legs." And then She began to slowly move away ... Departing, She asked me the same question twice more, and the same number of times I answered: "Legs." Suddenly the Woman was gone. I, not realizing that I was on my feet, went into the kitchen and began to look around, wondering where that Woman could have gone. "
A secret nun who woke up at the same time, in response to Claudia's story, said to her with surprise: "Klava, you are walking!" And only then did she realize what a miracle happened to her.
The authorities also did not leave Klavdia Nikitichna alone. In addition, the neighbors actively signaled about the pilgrims who besieged the Ustyuzhanins' house. At first, they tried to intimidate with summons to the prosecutor's office, and then as many as seven times they called court hearings, which by the will of God always broke down (son Andrey, together with his friends, knelt down and read akathists to the Mother of God and St. Nicholas). One time even forty false witnesses were summoned. But a miracle happened: conscience suddenly awakened in their hearts, and they began to accuse the judges of pressure on witnesses and even bribery. Instead of the trial of Claudia, her defense began; at the same time, in the noise and fever, someone drove the judge over the ear.
Then the authorities decided to apply the tactics of 1937. Therefore, once seeing the "funnels" at her house, Klavdia met her son at the school many blocks away and said that she had to leave. Andryusha initially objected, because he was hungry, but his mother asked him to be patient. And then he himself remembered that many times uncles came to military uniform, but fortunately she was not at home. And once there was a case when Klavdia Nikitichna had to hide in the closet. The mother's feeling of anxiety passed on to her son, and he resignedly followed her.
Having abandoned everything in which they were, they left home and eventually settled in the town of Strunino, not far from the holy monastery of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

"Do not be surprised at your unpleasant ailments"
(Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov, 1807 - 1867, 60 years old)

It was in 1948 - 16 years ago, when Valentin Yakovlevich Biryukov stood on his knees before God (facing the East) and he stood next to a man (God!) Whom he did not know (he saw for the first time) and he (a man of God ) should not ... know about Valentin Yakovlevich, but ... knew. For some reason. Here's a riddle!

With fear and trembling, Valentin Yakovlevich believed in the man of God. Took his words for ... the truth. But Valentin Yakovlevich STE documented ... later. Apaslya. With time. That this unfamiliar person is a person of God. And he told him the following:

- The time will come for the Lord to resurrect a woman in Barnaul, whose name is ... Claudia. You will be with her five times. She will tell you everything what happened to her and how and what she saw and heard. And you will testify ... all your life. About this ... fact. A historical fact ... telling people. You will. People need to know ... the truth.

Then he said, all at the same time, that you will sing in the choir in the church (on the klyres), and then you will begin to praise God. Before God and in the name of the Lord I testify: I speak the truth! For these words I am responsible before God at the Last Judgment!

So, when Valentin Yakovlevich heard in December 1964 about the resurrection of Claudia ... in the city of Barnaul, I remembered the man of God and his words about the miracle. I took time off from work right there and immediately went to her. Claudia Nikitichne. To Barnaul. I went to her at the address given, but the house was closed, there was ... no one. The gate was also closed. What to do?

“I’m waiting,” the elder says, “and already… it is getting dark. December month. It gets dark early. I am still waiting. I see a stately woman walking ... with a child. Child of years ... 8. Go to her. He greeted. I introduced myself as who I am. He told me, explained why he had come. Klavdia Nikitichna invited me into the house. I immediately said that there are acquaintances in Barnaul, but I do not know where they live, and it’s too late ... I asked for an overnight stay. Klavdia replied that Father Nikolai (the local priest) ordered not to let anyone in, because they might steal documents, they say, then there would be nothing to confirm that she was in the hospital and did not invent anything.

I crossed myself onto the icons and took out my passport, offered it to her so that she could see my good intentions, so that she would not be afraid of me ... And at that time the boy came up to me and hugged me, as if he had not seen for a long time and seemed to be bored. He clung to me so ... tightly. As if my own son.

“I don’t need your passport,” she said. “I can see from Andryusha that you can be trusted. He never suited anyone.

From the recollection of Archpriest Andrei Ustyuzhanin: “People were really eagerly drawn to these conversations. Others came several times. Valentin Biryukov came from Tomsk three times (the second time with his son Peter, a boy 2 - 3 years older than me). Hegumen Peter, he serves in the Zhirovitsky Monastery in Belarus, a well-known author of books on moral theology, and his father (Abbot Peter - Ed. From the Author) is the famous, beloved priest, Archpriest Valentin Biryukov, defender of Leningrad, front-line soldier.

When he (then still Valentin Yakovlevich with his son Peter. - Approx. From the Author) came to his mother, - recalls Fr. Andrei Ustyuzhanin (son of Claudia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina) - he was not yet a priest. I remember the first meeting with him.

My mother and I are approaching the house - and at the door is a neatly shaven man in his forties. Appeals to me:
- I'll come to you. I want to know if your mom really died and was resurrected?
And the time was already late. Mom was afraid to leave a stranger in the house. She went to the gate, and at this time the future father Valentin takes out the documents to show her. Mom turned around and saw that I ... hug him!
- No documents needed! - Mom smiled. - My son is your document, he just won't hug anyone ...

Subsequently, my mother tried not to refuse anyone from those who specially came to Barnaul to talk about the resurrection. Joy overwhelmed her, she could not believe that a miracle had happened to her, that she was now healthy, that she could tell others about what the Lord had done for her - who had not previously believed in God. "

As a result, Klavdia Nikitichna invited the guest to undress and go into the house. I undressed, walked through and immediately asked a question about the miracle and the resurrection, they say, how is it in the next world - did you hurt or not? She was surprised ... very much and says:
- Have you already visited me?
- No, - I say, - never!
Her tears began to flow. Sits, cries, cannot pronounce a word. It can be seen that he is going through ... it hurts close to his heart ... takes it. Finally, asks:

- Do you really believe so ?!
- Yes, - I answer, - I believe you ...
- What people are believers! They believe. So you heard and immediately believed, but I would ... no. I wouldn't believe it. Nizhat ... wouldn't believe it. I had no faith, and the Lord took pity on me ... - Claudia Niktichna Ustyuzhanina often said when she told about her resurrection not only to Valentin Yakovlevich. Then in December 1964. But also to all people. About his resurrection ... in 1964. February 22. Risen. O! How!

But STE was later. And before her death, she was for a long time ... an unbeliever, although by nature she was very kind person… was. And without faith it was a big trouble. She cannot be judged for this - only the Lord knows why we have lost our faith. There are many reasons for this from outside, much has been done to spoil our Russia ... And now you will not find such unbelievers!

For reference:
Klavdia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina was born into a family of pious parents in the village of Yarki, Novosibirsk region in 1919. The family was the penultimate child - the 13th. Claudia Nikitichna's mother died early - in 1928. My father, having gone through the GULAG, also died soon after - in 1934. Although his father was one of strong "kulaks", he was a beggar, deeply religious and, moreover, ... dispossessed to poverty. He willingly and always lent money, not demanding ... return. For example, before dispossession of kulaks, Nikita Timofeevich, annually sowed three hectares of land with wheat in order to distribute the harvest to needy fellow villagers. With such an arva, the children in the family were in difficulty, they even asked for alms. Fortunately, they helped out. Who could do anything. They helped out. Villagers ... who were once helped by the father of Klavdia Nikitichna.

After her first death on February 19-22, 1964, Klavdia Nikitichna lived for more than 14 years. She died in the town of Strunino, Vladimir region. Her son, Archpriest Andrei Ustyuzhanin, served for a long time in the Holy Trinity Church of the Assumption Convent in the town of Alexandrov, Vladimir Region. Now he serves in the cathedral in the same city of Alexandrov.

- So, one of them the Lord still regretted in order to give us all reinforcement ... in faith. This is not a joke, not a fairy tale, not a child's play. This is serious. This is God's grace, .. providence. Will of God. We people do not understand this. - concluded the father.

From the front-line memories of Fr. Valentine:
- Twice the Lord warned me - quickly remove the soldiers ... now a shell will arrive here. And I scream - everyone break into different sides... quickly ... go to bed! And everyone obeyed! How! It was! - and then quietly continued:
- I was convinced of what the mercy of God is, - and having completely calmed down, as if nothing had happened, he began to speak somehow ... quickly, automatically:

- To understand this, I did not need any documents and witnesses! And the prediction about the resurrection of Claudia in Barnaul was given ... in 1948. That is why, upon hearing Claudia's story, I immediately and unconditionally ... believed her. Didn't look for witnesses. There was no need for other witnesses - 16 years before that I knew that such a miracle would happen!

Valentin Yakovlevich was one of the first to hear the story of Klavdia Nikitichna after the miraculous resurrection and healing.

So, this tale is really from the category of a scientific transmission that existed then ... in the days of the USSR - "Obvious and incredible." Oh, and the most popular was the enta program! During the Soviet era. But for some reason then her famous presenter and scientist ... Professor Sergei Petrovich Kapitsa. Physicist. TV presenter. Editor-in-chief of the magazine "In the world of science". For unknown (rather ideological) reasons, he kept silent about this fact, important for the Soviet people ... the resurrection of a person from the dead. For some reason. Wouldn't Kapitsa, with a world renown from the point of view of science, want to answer? Why did the resurrection of a person ... from the dead take place? How could this happen? I suppose I don’t think ... that Kapitsa personally knew nothing about this. For the whole country, the USSR, knew about the resurrection from the dead of a resident of the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory ... Claudia Nikitichnaya Ustyuzhanina. Did the authorities know? I knew. Did the police know? They knew. Did the KGB know? I knew. Did the medicine know? I knew. And what about scientists? Yes, yes, yes and yes ... They knew!

However, no matter how much some interested parties want this event... to admit it as a fact, and other no less interested officials of it ... to keep silent ... nevertheless STE is - a fact! And the fact is entot ... historical! For he was attested by official sources. Both by the people themselves and by state institutions, for example, by sending telegrams to his brother Sergei Ustyuzhanin (from the Soviet post office): one - "Claudia died", the other - "Claudia has risen", and by the power itself ... Soviet ... The fact of the death of a person and his resurrection from the dead, of a person, is even attested by the corresponding official ... certificate. Yes, yes, yes and yes ... A certificate from the hospital.

The atheistic state issued such a certificate to the person that the person ... was dead. He died on February 19, 1964. Man. Wonderful somehow. In addition, it is officially known that a month later, Klavdia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina in the city hospital underwent a second operation (verification - from the author), which did not even find traces of cancer. The operation was carried out by a well-known doctor Valentina Vasilievna Alyabyeva.

From the recollection of priest Andrei Ustyuzhanin: "The patients who were lying with her then told my mother how, after the operation, Valentina Vasilievna went out into the corridor and cried. The patients asked:
- What, Claudia died?
- No, she's alive! - barely uttered the doctor.
And when, having calmed down, she came to my mother's ward, she said in extraordinary excitement:
- Klava, you don't even have a suspicion of such a terrible disease ...
And do not reckon with the fact of entim? At the same time, having such non-refutable evidence ... Agree that the very fact of raising a person from the dead and all the events associated with him look at least ridiculous, awkward, absurd, illogical, stupid, and most importantly - a lie. Is not it? Disbelief is like ... suicide. And STE is already ... a sin. Heavy and. Mortal. Blasphemy against the Lord. "

So, in December 1964, Klavdia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina told Valentin Yakovlevich Biryukov about herself ... the following:

- The shop where I worked as a salesman was located not far from the temple. I went to see what was going on there? I stood in a corner and watched: one, the other, the fifth, the tenth - they cross themselves, they kiss the icons and even bow down to the earth in front of the icons. She went up to the icon, tapped on the board, looked: some grandfather with a beard was drawn. And on another icon there is a woman - a mother with a baby. I thought: So what? And I held the little Andrew in my arms ... So, it turns out, what is their concept, here is God for them ...

I came to the store, with a slight grin, told about my impressions. And one of the store workers reproached me, they say, Klava shut up. You are laughing at God!
Stop it! - answered her.
Then we went together with another saleswoman to look and make sure. And they also condemned everyone, they say, they are a little ... not that, it seems like some kind of sick.

But the Lord did not leave Klavdia Nikitichna in such a darkened state ... she fell seriously ill. Cancer.
- Neither would this ... obscuration and illness ... would exist. To live and live ... it would be Claudia. Your term. With my sins. By multiplying. Griha. For the Lord himself said that ahead of time... died. Claudia. Girlfriend? And what about a girlfriend? .. She is a spectator. An accomplice. Nothing is known about her, - thought George in his mind, ahead of the elder's word.

The disease was sent to her to save her soul. Much has been written about this then. The operation was performed by Claudia the Jew ... Israel Isaevich Neimark, a wonderful, talented surgeon, professor of medicine, who knows his job perfectly. Medicine. Jews, they have always been and are ... talented specialists.

For reference: Having finally recovered, Klavdia Nikitichna went home and asked I.I. Neymark:
- Izrail Isayevich, how could you be mistaken, after all, you are a famous surgeon? If we are mistaken in trade, then we are severely punished.
To which Neimark replied:
- I could not be mistaken, because the state of your insides was seen not only by me, but also by the entire operating room staff - there were continuous metastases. This is, first of all. Secondly, the analyzes clearly indicated that the tumor was malignant. Third, we fought for your life. Nothing helped - no injections, no oxygen.
So, on the operating table, Claudia's soul left the body. Here is what she told Valentin Yakovlevich:

- It's scary to say even. The corpse lies on the table ... operating room. Cut. The whole body was cut up. (“Probably, it is clear that Klavdia saw and felt looking at her body from the side - added the priest… in his own words”). I myself see, hear, move wherever I want ...
This is what Klavdia Nikitichnaya said, the elder commented on this:
- And it was her soul that saw everything, heard, moved wherever she wanted. The soul felt everything! And the flesh ... is like the clothing of the soul.

- And the Scripture says the same thing, - thought George in his mind, continuing to listen to the elder - ... they will perish, but You (Lord) will remain; and all of them, like a garment, will decay, and like a garment, you (Lord) will change them, and they will change; but you (Lord) are the same, and your years will not end. The days of man are like grass; as the flower of the field, so it blooms. The wind will pass over it, and it will be gone, and its place will no longer recognize it.

- It's all the same that we threw off ... our overcoat, - said the priest, - and we went where we wanted. So Claudia thought that she would go ... home. Where can she ... go? .. But it did not work. He heard who was saying what, saw how her director arrived, how Andryusha's son came and cried, but she could not help it.

- And when her body, .. - continued the priest, - lifeless was taken away from the operating room ... she suddenly felt something unusual - which she had never even heard of before. Klavdia Nikitichna told me this:

- My soul, - she said, - as on an unusual elevator, transparent, as if it were made of solid glass - in the shape of a ... flask ("Something like a glass test tube?" Georgy wanted to ask, but did not dare ... interrupt the priest, continuing listen carefully) and with incredible speed, like lightning, the soul rushed, being in this flask ... upward. Being ... inside the flask. The feeling was ... as if she was flying in a glass case, which has a volume (size) - for one person. At the same time, the wind resistance was not felt ... not at all! How long it flew, .. I don't know. It all happened instantly. Suddenly I see - there is no land! Only a small dot in the form of an asterisk shines from a distance ...

Then Klavdia Nikitichna told Valentin Yakovlevich that she was lying in a place unknown to her, but this place is so kind, warm, cozy, light and fragrant with extraterrestrial beauty and aromas. I was lying on a rug and this rug was ... brown, as it were, but it was not quite as if ... brown. Rug. The rug was such an unusual color, although it was similar in color to ... brown. And like this downy ... rug. She lay with her head to the west, her feet to the east.

- That rug was under it. On which lay Klavdia Nikitichna ... - the priest concluded. And he continued:
- Where she ended up ... to the left of her there was an alley about six meters wide - long-long and straight-straight, like a stretched string - there is no end and edge of that string ... no. And at the edges of the alley there were railings - unusual, well, like a hedge ... there were these railings. They (the railing) consisted of a plant similar to bay leaves. These railings are so thick, yeah, they look beautiful, and the leaves ... laurel, but so tightly applied to each other, that the chicken will not stick its head through. Further on the eastern side, she saw a huge height ... with a ten-story building, a shiny oval gate. Beautiful. The majestic gate. Their shine is ... unearthly. And shimmers. This gate. Beautiful shine. They have. There is no such brilliance, such unearthly overflow, the variety of all the different colors of flowers and colors that those gates had, on earth ... there is no. No other person in the world can create such beauty ...! Not even to create, but to portray, or even to imagine ... not even be able to. Human. O! How! These are such gates of unusual beauty - shining like the sun, multi-colored, colors move, play, shining sparks fly in different directions - like fireworks ... You look at them and ... you won't see enough. Admiring them and not ... admiring them. They are mesmerizing. You can't take your eyes off ...

And everything around is blooming, singing, rejoicing and fragrant, so beautiful, so warm, cozy and beautiful, - said Klavdia Nikitichna, - and where I am - I don't know. And so I wanted to find out, but not a single person next to whom I could ask ... no. And what a scent! Everything was filled with him around, as well as with light. What a wonderful scent smelled there! In the air. From all this, she even forgot that she lived on earth, forgot that she was dying, and even forgot her Anryushu…. And suddenly she sees how the mother and daughter (this is how Klavdia Nikitichna perceived them then) are walking through these oval gates from the air in her direction. To her ... they go. The mother in the monastic attire was ... brown. But this color ... brown and it was not entirely ... brown. Colour. This. Robes. Monastic.

And the father says that they (mother and daughter) walk quickly. They go to a meeting with Klavdia Nikitichna. The daughter is crying, she asks for something from the mother (from the side it seems ... it seems). And so not cleverly runs around the mother, as if hiding behind the mother, for some reason, running around her ... from behind. It will become to the right of the mother, otherwise it will run around her from behind and become ... to the left. From my mother. Here and there. Runs. Worried. My daughter did not want to calm down, she does not want to stand still - on one side of the mother. And the mother does not pay attention to her, goes straight to the side ... to Claudia Nikitichna.
This is the Guardian Angel of Claudia Nikitichna ... crying. About her. Klavdia Nikitichna thought what then? That with the "nun" daughter, and it was a Guardian Angel, from God given to the servant of God Claudia. It was he who cried for her. About Claudia. Nikitichny. Such was the Guardian Angel of Claudia.

Klavdia Nikitichna thought that she would now ask her mother ("nun") in which direction she was. And mummy, yes, so beautiful, but so handsome, and so sweet from the face and by the way, but such beauty and stature in people Klavdiya Nikitichna has never seen in her life. It is impossible to look at this beauty. Indescribable ... beauty. Incomprehensible to the human mind ... beauty. Every facial feature is like a separate masterpiece. And the "nun" looks so sternly at Klavdia Nikitichna that she sensed ... something was wrong.

“She’s dissatisfied with me,” thought Klavdia Nikitichna. And she also thought - how did this young "nun" become a mother?

And suddenly Klavdiya Nikitichna felt that She knew everything about her - "from" and "to".

“I felt so ashamed of this unpleasant feeling that suddenly engulfed me all the way down to the cell…” she said to Valentin Yakovlevich, “that she did not know where to turn away or leave. However, nothing happens - as I lay, I am still lying. You will not get up, you will not turn away. And this young woman quietly raises her head and says (and in this sweetest voice only ... love is felt): "Lord, where is her?" It hit me like an electric shock - I immediately realized that I was in Heaven, the Queen of Heaven was standing in front of me! ..

Suddenly Clivdia Nikitichna heard a voice:
- To lower her back to earth, she died in time.
This voice was sweet, full of love and pleasant to the ear, coming from somewhere above and, it turns out, as if dissolved in the surrounding space ... or rather, as if everything around was talking. With this voice. But a voice came ... from above. As if from above. It was the voice of ... the Lord.

- And God is omnipresent, infinite ... He is everywhere (came from everywhere like light - You (Lord) dress with light, like a garment ... says King David) and everything around there was ... filled with Him. Immense. That voice. God cannot be matured as a person ... Only a voice is heard. It was. And that's all. And this voice is so sweet ... the sweetest, soft, kind and voluminous like a singer with a voice - baritone (if I can say - velvet baritone), but that sounding voice was much, much better, prettier, velvety. It is impossible to describe the heavenly voice, because everything sounds different there, much, much better than ... here. On earth ... - continued the priest, focusing the attention of George, for it is important to understand and know very important what awaits everyone in the life ... of the future. Eternal! ..

Father said that Klavdia Nikitichna was very happy with the Lord's decision to return her to earth:
- So I was delighted, although I was shaking all over! .. - she told Valentin Yakovlevich. He was then still ... a layman. Father, something.

The Heavenly Queen went to these shining gates ... These were the doors ... the heavenly ones - the gates of truth! On the left and right sides of the heavenly doors there were two ... something like a pillar in the shape of an ordinary popsicle on a stick, but only ... on a stick ... round in shape. These pillars stood ... instead of guards. But these pillars, it turns out, were the very guardians ... of the heavenly gates. For these pillars were as if ... alive. These two pillars as high as the gates ... emitted in different directions such lightning as smashing swords, arrows, spears and sparks flew in all directions, so much so that fear and horror gripped. One got the impression that the pillars guarding the gates did it, as it were, meaningfully (threw lightning and sparks) and threatened (like anger) someone. Some ... strangers (enemies). Guests ... not invited. Open the gates of truth for me; I will enter into them, I will praise the Lord. Here is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter into them. For one day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I wish it better to be at the doorway in the house of God than to live in tents of wickedness. … Truth will arise from the earth, and truth will come from heaven. It was scary to admit the thought that one could approach ... the gate. Sparks and lightning seemed to shoot out and, at the same time, the distance did not interfere with them. Better not to come. How scary. To a stranger. A person ... not with a mental one. To the ignorant. To the wicked. To the one who practices lawlessness. They are all strangers, blooming like grass to disappear forever. For a man loses his years like a sound. A man is seventy years old in days of age, and with a greater strength - eighty years. And the best pair for a person is work and illness, for they pass quickly, and he flies ... It's terrible. And scary. Horror! His own ... man (it is his blessing to approach God!) Wise and reasonable there feels in complete safety, under protection, in constant care and love. And so the Heavenly Queen herself went into these brilliant gates - and they opened before her with lightning speed.

"Oh, give us with earthly keys
To appear at the golden gates "...

On earth, this can only be compared in large stores (hyper, super ...) with automatic doors that, when a person approached, opened themselves ... automatically, and then also automatically closed. But the gates of heaven opened wide open and with lightning speed. And through the open gate, a strong, transparent blue light became visible. This blue light is not just blue light - it was alive and you could feel it. It is impossible for a person to describe this light, how rich and unusual it is in color, exuded life and emanated from where it is not known, for there is no sun ... there.

However, this light, like a garment denouncing the Lord, came literally from everywhere. All the space that was behind ... the gates was filled with that light, without penetrating, at the same time, outside. Beyond the heavenly doors. That is, to where Klavdia Nikitichna was. Where Klavdia Nikitichna was (in front of the gates), the light was beautiful, but behind the gates - inside (in the house of God) it was even more beautiful. This light was as wonderful as everything around ... To describe the seen and experienced impression of such words on earth ... no.

- And the shadows from this light ... no? - Georgy wanted to ask the elder, for he had read something similar and I wanted to be convinced again, but ... he did not dare (again and as always) ... so as not to distract the priest from the story.

- And so, the Queen of Heaven entered and the doors again in the same way ... closed, .. - continued the story of Klavdiya Nikitichna to the future priest, - and I lie like a dummy, thinking nothing of what will happen to me. And then I feel like someone, and it was the Angel of the Lord, gives me a thought - what to ask. And I ask:
- Lord, how am I going to live on earth - my body is all cut up?
And the Lord answers (but I hear only a voice - and in this voice there is absolute love!):
- You will live better ... You, ungrateful ones, do not honor your Creator, but only blaspheme. Do not repent of your sins, but sin more and more. Your son went to an orphanage, and your dirty soul came to Me ...

I'm lying. And again I am silent. Again the Angel seems to be telling me what to ask. And then I say:
- Lord, my son was left an orphan. And the Lord, instead of answering, asks:
- I know. Are you sorry for your son?
I could only pronounce:
- Highly!
And she cried so that the hollows of her eyes filled with tears.
- And I am three times more sorry for every person.

- Yes, we are all children of God, and the Lord regrets all of us immensely - he was convinced of this many times (Elder Valentin. - Approx. From the Author) ... Later, Klavdia Nikitichna was also convinced. But at that moment she lay helpless, not knowing what would happen to her next. I couldn't even think clearly. After all, her soul had no spiritual concept, spiritual education. She was only afraid and ashamed. The angel puts into her mind and ... the third question, and Claudia asks:
- Lord, they say on earth that here, in Heaven, there is the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Lord did not answer this question. And so she continues:

- I know what he hears, and why he doesn't answer - I don't know. I was already turning my head - here and there, and did not wait. The Queen of Heaven came out in a brown robe, quickly walked towards me - a pigtail in her hand.

The Lord says to the Queen of Heaven:
- Pick her up and show her paradise.

The Queen of Heaven made a slightly noticeable movement with her fingers - and I was thrown up like a current: she instantly stood up - facing east. Then She stretched out her hand to the north side - there, as if the curtain opened with lightning speed, and all of me turned to face that side. I see a huge field ahead - stretching from right to left and into the distance, there is no end to it. At first I thought: a field of burnt bumps. And when I looked closely, I see: they all move. I was scared: how is it - the bumps move? And these are people, living, but burnt, charred people, although the nose, ears, and fingers are all intact. These were their souls - black as coal!

"But I know - with different eyes
The dead smell the living "...
(S. Yesenin, "Pantokrator", February 1919)

You will not recognize them - who is there: he or she. You can't tell. They move. They talk - as if the surf of the sea was making noise.

"... And let them, those who are in the darkness
They drink us like a lamp in the sky
They will see from their fields
That we are going to visit them "
(S. Yesenin, "Pantokrator", February 1919)

For reference: Subsequently, the elders of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and in particular Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov), gave the following explanation from what he saw there (in Heaven!) By Claudia Nikitichnaya ... "paradise". These were shown the souls of sinners begged by the Church from hell. The Lord delivered them from suffering, but did not let them into paradise, for in their earthly life they sinned a lot, but repented little or did not repent at all. But even a purified (person) will not immediately go to heaven, or even until the Last Judgment will remain on the eve of heaven (many abodes have been prepared by the Lord for similar and other sinners who will be neither in hell, but also not in heaven - from Auth.). Claudia Nikitichna was shown the true state of her soul, which could only go to this "paradise". And the same elders told Claudia Nikitichna that the Lord resurrected her through the prayers of her parent (father), who was awarded the Heavenly Abodes for love of poverty, alms and innocent suffering in the camps ...

Then the Mother of God said to Claudia:
- For these people, the most expensive alms on earth is water (prayer - from the words of the elder). Countless people drink one drop of water.
Claudia Nikitichna, according to the elder, continued her tale:
- They ask me, calling me by name, to convey it to earth: if someone fought against God, then it is better not to be born to that person. They repentantly splash out their sins before me (“I am a fornicator,” “I am a thief, a robber,” “I am a murderer” ...). I realized that these people who lived without faith, died without repentance - without stopping continued Claudia Nikitichna's story. She was not told - Elder George said - who these people are, when and why they got there. But the Lord gave her such a receptiveness to the words that poured out of this sea of ​​men, that she knew what everyone was asking for. But on the whole there was only one request: pray, remember us, repent! And there, in Heaven, repentance is not accepted - only here on earth. All these people will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven for blasphemy. After all, any sin is blasphemy.

And Claudia - said the elder - felt an impossible stench from them, and could not get away from this stench: you cannot turn your face away, she recalled - you will not move, - tightly, like in a cramped bus. And then the Words of the Lord, spoken before she saw this field of human grief, pierced her - that those who live on earth do not honor their Creator, but only sin.

- It is necessary to repent and not sin, because there is a scanty time left for life (emphasis added by the author - Approx. From the Author) - Claudia Nikitichna continued to hear these words of the Lord with all her heart.

She suddenly realized that it was said for us, for all of us! After all, the Lord left on earth for the whole world one Law, not two! One for all. Nada ... LOVE.

Therefore, we must pray for these people. They conveyed God's warning to Claudia, and she conveys it to us - those who live on earth. This is the great, living preaching of God. Through this sermon, Grace touches our planet ...

Klavdia Nikitichna did not immediately understand all this, but she experienced such a shock that tears flowed down her stream, and she exclaimed from the depths of her soul:

- God! Queen of Heaven! May I be alive on earth! I will pray, I will tell everyone what I saw and heard in Heaven.

The Queen of Heaven again made a movement with her hand - and the vision closed, the air was purified of stench.

And I did not want, and I was not going to write a post on this topic (about similar). But friend aalitvin his post "Miracle on TV" clearly showed me: it is necessary. Oh, you have to. Yellow TV men, for lack of anything better, are again pulling the foul-smelling "miracles" of the last century onto the stage. And the youth, greedy for sensations, without understanding, undoes the mitten: so here it is, a clear argument in favor of "spiritual fasteners" and other God's existence. We have to object.

Another resurrection of Claudia, or Barnaul miracle-yudo

The ghost of Claudia Ustyuzhanina again wanders the pages of newspapers. Fans of Grabovoi loudly remembered the inhabitant of Barnaul, “resurrected in 1964 in the morgue”. The same one who suggested to the mothers of Beslan to revive their children. "Do not believe that the dead are raised, but what about the Barnaul miracle?" The image of a saleswoman from the Barnaul bread trade is again raised on the shield and a number of priests. What actually happened then in Barnaul? The ME correspondent decided to make an "autopsy" of a long history.

The miraculous resurrection of Claudia was written and rewritten, and each time the details of the miracle were different. Some said that before the "resurrection" Ustyuzhanina was an active communist, and then handed over her party card, in others, that she drank and walked, and then changed her mind.

The scenes in the morgue also look different.

No, no, no, don't be alarmed! This is the real certificate of the death of Ustyuzhanina, which happened in1978, not a fake.

Articles about the "miracle" were written after the real death of Claudia. She died in 1978, but despite this, one of the newspapers published a story on her behalf 20 years after her death. Allegedly, 79-year-old woman Klava sits and talks ... Such is the incident.

The son of Klavdia Nikitichna, Archpriest Andrei Ustyuzhanin, a priest of the Holy Dormition Monastery in the city of Alexandrov, Vladimir Region, politely said on the phone that the most truthful version was written down from his mother's words. Others simply wrote it down incorrectly, making mistakes.

Here are fragments of history, recorded from the words of Ustyuzhanina's son.

The soul flew to hell

“In 1963-1964. I had to go to the hospital for examination. I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. However, not wanting to upset me, I was told that the tumor was benign. I wanted to be told the truth, without hiding anything, but they only told me that my card was in the oncological dispensary. Arriving there and wanting to know the truth, I pretended to be my sister, who is interested in the medical history of a relative. I was told that I have a malignant tumor, or so-called cancer.

Before undergoing the operation, I had to arrange for my son in case of death and make an inventory of the property. When the inventory was made, they began to ask my relatives who would take my son to her, but everyone refused him, and then they registered him in an orphanage.

On February 17, 1964, I handed over the files in my store, and on February 19, I was already in operation. It was conducted by the famous professor Israel Isaevich Neimark (a Jew by nationality), together with three doctors and seven student interns. It was useless to cut anything out of the stomach, since it was covered with cancer; 1.5 liters of pus were pumped out, death occurred right on the operating table.

I did not feel the very process of separating my soul from the body, only suddenly I saw my body from the side as we see, for example, some thing: a coat, a table, etc. I see how people are scurrying around my body, trying bring me back to life. I hear everything and understand what they are talking about. I feel and worry, but I cannot let them know that I am here.

Suddenly I found myself in places close and dear to me, where I was ever offended, where I cried, and in other difficult and memorable places. However, I did not see anyone near me, and how long it took for me to visit these places, and how my movement was carried out - for me all this remained an incomprehensible mystery. Suddenly I found myself in a completely unfamiliar area. Suddenly I saw that a tall Woman was walking towards me from the east. Austere, dressed in a long robe (as I learned later - a monastic), with a covered head. A stern face was visible, a child was walking beside her, who only reached her shoulder. I tried to see his face, but I never succeeded, because he kept turning to me either sideways or with his back. As I found out later, it was my Guardian Angel. I was delighted, thinking that when they come closer, I can ask them where I am.

All the time the child asked something of the Woman, stroked Her hand, but She treated him very coldly, not listening to his requests. Then I thought: "What a ruthless She is. If my son Andryusha asked me for something as this child asks of Her, I would even buy him what he asks for with the last money."

Not reaching 1.5 or 2 meters, the Woman, raising her eyes up, asked: "Lord, where is her?" I heard a voice that answered her: "She needs to be lowered back, she died not on time." It was like a crying male voice. "

After that, Claudia was allegedly shown hell with burnt bodies and said: pray, a miserable century remained. So what is next:

“… I found myself in the morgue in my body. How or in what way I entered it - I don’t know. At that time, a man was brought into the morgue, whose leg was cut off. Some of the orderlies noticed signs of life in me. doctors, and they took all the necessary measures to save me: they gave me an oxygen cushion, gave me injections. I was dead for three days (died on February 19, 1964, came to life on February 22). In March 1964, I went to a second operation, for that to find out about my state of health and to have my stitches sewn up. The second operation was performed by the famous doctor Alyabyeva Valentina Vasilievna. During the operation, I saw how doctors dig into my insides, and, wanting to know my condition, they asked me various questions, and I answered After the operation, Valentina Vasilievna, in great excitement, told me that the body did not even have a suspicion that I had stomach cancer: everything inside was like a newborn. " After that, according to the official version, the former atheist became a staunch preacher of faith in the Lord.

Death certificate

Believe me, it was so, - assured the priest Andrey. - Now doctors say that my mother was in intensive care. But I remember, they took me to my mother, and I remember the words "don't kiss on the mouth, kiss on the forehead." They probably wouldn't let me into intensive care ... And priest Anatoly Berestov saw with his own eyes the certificate of her death, which was issued when my mother was in the morgue.

When asked where this certificate is now, Father Andrey hesitated: “She used to be with my mother, and then she disappeared somewhere.”

With Hieromonk Anatoly Berestov, Doctor of Medical Sciences and Rector of the House Church, Rev. Seraphim Sarovsky at the Moscow Institute of Transplantology and Artificial Organs,
we phoned on Friday, November 11th.

Indeed, I met this woman in the 60s at the Yaroslavl station, - the hieromonk shared. - I forgot the details. She said that she died in a state of clinical death on the operating table. I saw a death certificate and a certificate from a mental hospital about schizophrenia. But in the certificates, "schizophrenia" was never written, the code was put. So, someone needed to endow her with this certificate so that they would not believe her? She impressed me as a normal calm person. She said that she woke up in the morgue, and the attendant saw her pink legs. About what happened, I judge only by her story. As a medic, I kept asking her: "How could this be?" She answered: “I don’t know”. She complained about a bad dream, about the fact that the authorities are oppressing.

Why did you leave Barnaul? She said that she had to testify to the whole world about God.

As a priest, I believe in the miracle of the resurrection. I myself have recently witnessed how a seriously ill drug addict dying of AIDS recovered. I personally saw him in a pre-gonal state. He said, get ready, there are no more than a day left. And suddenly he returns to this world, recovers.

"Klavka was a charlatan"

Priest Andrei Ustyuzhanin said that he and his mother lived on 96 Krupskaya Street, that later they left Barnaul "by the will of God."

On Saturday, November 12th, dogs barked loudly from behind the fence of this wooden house. The mistress of the house, who had bought a house from the Ustyuzhanins at one time, said she was sick and refused any conversations. But her neighbor, hearing that they were interested in Ustyuzhanina, could not resist:

This is a swindler, this Klavka. An ordinary swindler. She told everyone that she was resurrected, people began to come to her, thinking that she was a saint. If the bent-over grandmother arrives empty-handed, she would not even let him on the threshold, and if they arrive with the trunks of gifts, she will. They put her in the bathroom, well ... they wash her, and then they themselves drink water. Ugh. - After these words, the woman, who did not want to introduce herself, went into the house without saying goodbye.

Didn't they consider it a miracle in Barnaul?

The case took on a different turn. But neighbors are neighbors. In neighborly relations, they say, sometimes the devil himself will break his leg. And what will the Barnaul priests say about Claudius?

I don't know the details of this story, - said Konstantin Metelnitsky. - I only know that she was in the morgue for three days, and then she was resurrected. Priest Nikolai Voytovich knows this better.

In one of the many stories about the miraculous resurrection, it is said that Klavdia saw Nikolai Voitovich in a dream in a suit that he had, but he never wore it. She also said that Father Nikolai advised to hide medical certificates away.

There was nothing of the kind, - says the priest Nikolai Voitovich. “And she didn’t show me the death certificate. She had a clinical death, I spoke with the doctors afterwards. And she could, of course, see different pictures when she was recovering from anesthesia. When she showed up, I did not attach any importance to her stories. Then in Tomsk, during a sermon, the priest spoke about the “Barnaul miracle”, crowds of people came here from Tomsk. But in

Barnaul is not considered a miracle.

From a telephone interview with Andrey Ustyuzhanin:

My mother, I remember, did not have a good relationship with my father Nikolai Voitovich. And the fact that they say that she sold water from herself is slander. Imagine, these were the 60s, when religion was very harsh. She did not sell water ...

In those days, the morgue was empty

V incredible story on the resurrection, the real names of doctors, very respected in the city, appear: Neymark, Alyabyeva. Unfortunately, neither Israel Isayevich nor Valentina Vasilievna are alive. One of Alyabyeva's colleagues from the 3rd city hospital said that she had not heard from her any story about Claudia Ustyuzhanina.

How tired of it all, - Alexander Neimark, the son of Israel Isaevich, the chief urologist of the region, doctor of medical sciences, professor, shared by phone. “It was a crazy woman who was chasing her father. In those days, the sick did not die at all. There are no entries in the logbook. She had a clinical death while giving anesthesia. Heart started - that's all the miracle. Father was then summoned. He wrote how everything was in one letter to the editor. Natalya Vasilieva, who was at that time the editor of the publishing house of the medical university, quoted this letter in one of her articles.

I am generally shaken by the tales of priests, '' the militant atheist Vasilyeva honestly admitted. - I do not trust this audience. Their specialty is to lie.

According to Vasilyeva, at the beginning of the "miracle" there was an unhappy woman, clearly with a not quite healthy psyche, inventing fables about herself and, probably, believing in them herself. Then the worshipers, who believed in her holiness, come to her for “holy water” and tell others about her. And, finally, sensation-hungry journalists who finished the job.

One of the stories, recorded from the words of Claudia Ustyuzhanina, even says that the Jewish professor wanted to kill her after she was resurrected.

Professor Neymark's letter

A copy of Israel Isaevich Neimark's letter is kept by his student, Doctor of Medicine, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Yakov Naumovich Shoikhet. This letter was written in 1998 after the publication of the "Barnaul miracle" in one of the central newspapers. Here are snippets from it:

“In February 1964, Klavdiya Ustyuzhanina entered the faculty clinic of the Altai Medical Institute on the basis of the railway hospital headed by me for an operation directed by oncologists with a diagnosis of transverse colon cancer. In the clinic, the patient was operated on under endotracheal anesthesia. During the induction of anesthesia, cardiac arrest occurred. Resuscitation measures were immediately taken, and quickly, in two minutes, cardiac activity was restored. The operation revealed a large inflammatory conglomerate emanating from the transverse colon, squeezing and obstructing its patency. No cancer metastases and 1.5 liters of pus mentioned in the article were found. A fistula is imposed on the cecum to remove gases, intestinal contents and create conditions for eliminating the inflammatory process. Thus, cancer was ruled out. The picture corresponded to the inflammatory process. The whole operation lasted 25 minutes.

After the operation, the patient was unconscious for two days. She was in the intensive care unit under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. I was breathing on my own and my heart was working normally. Then she regained consciousness and became interested in what was found during the operation and what was done to her. I personally talked to her many times and convinced her that she had no cancer, but there was inflammation, and when it subsided, her fistula would be closed. But she didn’t believe me, because she often spoke about this topic and told me that her boy Andrei was growing up. There is no father, and if she has cancer, then she must think about how to arrange it. I assured her that there was no cancer and there was no need to do anything, that she would bring up and raise her son herself.

Consequently, Claudia Ustyuzhanina did not die either on the operating table or after the operation, so there was no need for her to be resurrected. It is not clear to me how she could demonstrate a death certificate and medical history. I also doubt that she was a “convinced atheist”, she often prayed in the hospital, and God helped her - her heart activity quickly recovered, but there was no cancer. Later Ustyuzhanina recovered. The tumor shrank and resolved. In the city hospital, Doctor V.V. Alyabyeva stitched up her fistula, and the patient recovered completely. On the eve of the operation, Valentina Vasilievna called me on the phone, and I told her that the inflammatory tumor had resolved. VV knew before the operation that the patient had no cancer.<…>As for Ustyuzhanina, she came up with a legend about how she rose from the dead. At the same time, the legend changed all the time. At first, she spread that she had died, and she, naked, in the cold, was taken to the morgue, where the corpses were lying. The hospital watchman came, dropped the bucket, and she woke up. The soul flew to the market (Ustyuzhanina worked in trade), an angel met her and ordered her to return to Claudia, and she came to life. In fact, at that time no one was dying in the railway hospital, there were no corpses, and there were never any watchmen in the hospital at all.

Ustyuzhanina promoted her holiness and organized a business, performed ablution and sold the used water as a saint. Her public performance were accompanied by rude antics and curses in public places of the city against me and against the employees of the railway hospital with a terry anti-Semitic shade.

Many times in different newspapers there have been articles similar to those published by you, but with different versions of inventions ... nunnery Alexandrova. One has to wonder how, for 20 years after the death of his mother, he exaggerates a legend invented by her in order to create popularity and fame for himself. In addition, in all these publications the smell of anti-Semitism is slipping ...

For many years of surgical activity, this is the only case in my practice when I have to prove the absurdity of such a publication. I never could have imagined that you could publish this nonsense and become like the tabloid press ... With this you inflicted the deepest offense and mental trauma that you did not deserve. "

The operation was not started by Neimark!

Israel Isayevich himself did not start the operation with Ustyuzhanina, - said Yakov Naumovich Shoikhet. The operation was performed by another experienced surgeon, his student. But he had not yet had time to start the operation, he was given an induction anesthesia, and the patient went into cardiac arrest. They restored cardiac activity quickly, the question arose of what to do next. The patient had intestinal obstruction. Someone had to take responsibility for continuing the operation after clinical death. They called Neymark, he gave the order to save. The operation was continued. They opened the stomach, found an infiltrate that squeezed the transverse colon, brought it out, allowed the intestinal contents to escape through another opening. In fact, this saved the patient's life. Everything was done so that later, when the intestinal obstruction has passed, it will be possible to restore the patency of the intestine. So that a person walks naturally and does not live with the intestine brought out. They even foresaw this. Thanks to Neymark, the patient not only recovered, but also did not remain disabled.

And then this version of "resurrection" was born. I can’t even judge who created it first. Of course, partly it came from her. First she said one thing, then another. In the end, she stated that she had been opened in the morgue. But every physician knows that during autopsy, the organs are isolated, a piece of tissue from each organ is taken for histological examination.

My attitude to this woman will still be like a patient who has survived a serious operation. As to the suffering one. Despite the fact that she repaid the doctors with black ingratitude. On the part of the doctors at that moment absolutely everything was done extremely competently with a good prognosis for the future. Izrail Isaevich looks here not only as an experienced competent surgeon, but also as a courageous person who took the decision to continue the operation after clinical death. Further waiting could lead to intestinal necrosis. By delaying the operation in such cases, we endanger the patient's life. In such situations, a true surgeon appears. There was an interesting episode in the life of Izrail Isaevich, when the question of an operation with a risk to the patient's life was also being decided. And without surgery, there was no chance of recovery at all. He gathered all the surgeons: what are we going to do - and it is scary to operate, and not to operate - not to use the chance. All spoke for an hour and a half. He says: "Think well and come to a conclusion, and I will go to work." Gone. He returned an hour and a half later: "What conclusion did you come to?" - "Do a surgery". - "I already did." He was an amazing person. It combined the Leningrad school and the features of a surgeon who went through the front. Throughout the war, he was an active surgeon in a field hospital. People of such a culture, such power are now rarely seen.

And everything that unfolded afterwards is dirty. And he took on the fire, despite the fact that the operation was performed by his student. And the student did everything competently, I repeat. A real intellectual, Izrail Isayevich, did not respond to attacks in the yellow press. He was offended by an article in a central newspaper, the newspaper he loved. Until his death he waited for an answer from the editor, but did not wait ... (We deliberately do not name the newspaper in question. Maybe our colleagues will bring later repentance).

Is there life after death? This question worries the minds of all living on earth.

The Barnaul miracle - the story of the resurrection of a woman who died on the operating table gives a clear answer: earthly life is replaced by existence in another dimension: hell or heaven.

Death story

During the operation to remove the tumor from Klavdia Nikitichna Ustyuzhanina, the doctors of the Barnaul hospital stated the death of the patient on February 19, 1964.

For three days the corpse lay in the morgue, awaiting the arrival of relatives. Nikolai Leonov, a witness to these events, was present in the hall at the time of the resurrection of the dead. A new deceased was put to the cooled corpse of the woman, but at that moment the deceased Claudia sat down.

Photo by Claudia Ustyuzhanina

It is difficult to describe the state of the people who are standing around. The body, which had lain in a cold room during the Siberian frost for 3 days, was quickly transported to the ward and a consultation was held. Then the time came to surprise the doctors, who saw that all organs in the unsecured abdomen were absolutely healthy.

Of course, the authorities of the USSR tried to hide this fact, having no explanation for everything that was happening, and the anti-religious policy did not allow to call it a miracle of God.

What the resurrected Claudia Ustyuzhanina told about

In the first minutes of death, a woman saw what people who have experienced clinical death: operating table, doctors, body and very loud voices.

Claudia found herself in a desert area, in the midst of which was a green alley. The woman felt her body as lying belly down on a flat object hanging in the air.

The greenery of the alley had a calming effect on a worried soul who realized that this was a pedestrian zone and someone would come to it. According to the assumptions of theologians, the board on which the soul lay could be the scale for weighing its harmonious state and beauty. The dark, flat object was a square with a golden ratio, on which the soul was visible through.

Read about other wonders:

From the story of the resurrected Claudia, it follows that there was a light atmosphere around her, without bright light. Looking closely, the woman saw the gate, resembling the Royal Doors in the local church, only from them emanated the brightest light, comparable to the radiance of the sun.

This light did not frighten the newly departed soul, but filled it with peace and tranquility.

Tall woman and guardian angel

As soon as the soul entered a state of rest, a tall Woman appeared at the end of the alley, dressed in a monk's attire, accompanied by a boy who only reached her shoulder. With all her attention, Claudia did not manage to see the boy's face.

Later, after returning to the body, Ustyuzhanina learned from the priest that the boy was her personal Guardian Angel.

Stepping softly with bare feet on the grass, the Woman with a stern face seemed to float above the green cover, without pressing it down, leaving no trace.

The young man with a pleading look constantly asked for something to the Woman, who remained cold to his requests. This act annoyed Claudia, because she is a mother, she would give everything for her son.

A woman with a cold face, looking up, asked where to send Claudia, to which a voice from above ordered her to be sent to earth, for Ustyuzhanina's hour had not yet come.

The miracle of the resurrection of a dead woman is God's grace

What follows is a very interesting detail that might make some Christian women ponder. The velvet baritone ordered the newly departed to be pulled down on her hair, and since she was trimmed, he gave her a braid.

God said that He knows about the son left on earth, who was sent to the boarding school, and that all people for Him are beloved children.

A pleasant voice in admonition told Claudia to pray in the future with a pure heart, opening her thoughts to the Creator, sincerely repenting before the Savior, Who with His blood paid for the salvation of mankind.

A woman with a stern face, in long clothes, came back with a scythe to let Claudia go home, but before that the Mother of God, and it was She, showed Ustyuzhanina pictures of hell with burned out people, demons, and fire. After the terrible pictures of hell, the soul of Claudia returned to the alley and, along a braid, woven of three rows, sank into the body.

Life after resurrection

After the second operation, during which Claudia sutured all the fistulas and confirmed the healing of all internal organs, the revived woman began to observe all the fasts.

She refused modest food on Wednesdays and Fridays, for in hell she saw those who neglected abstinence in food, where they ate frogs and all kinds of reptiles.
