Zheleznovodsk (The Caucasus)
Protopriest George Novokovski, rector of church of St. Olga in the city of Zheleznovodsk at the Caucasus. Father George is very tall and large, he looks like a real "bogatyr" from Russian folklore. He has a brother who also is a priest in the same church, his name is Father Roman. These two priest-brothers are famous for their singing, when they come to Suzdal they sometimes sing during some services. Father George and his brother also held missionary work in their city. Besides Father George is a Blagochinnij ("principal priest" or how it is in English?) in his region, and he is a real help for Vladyka.
