Father Grigory Mikhnov-Vaytenko is one of the leading organizers supporting Ukrainian refugees in St. Petersburg and across Russia. His contact details are shared word-of-mouth in both Ukraine and Russia because he has managed to unite people from all walks of life who are willing to help those escaping tragedy. We discussed where God is when people are on the brink of despair, how to counter Evil, what to hold onto when all hope seems lost, and what practical ways exist today to help refugees. And, perhaps most importantly, we uncovered one crucial truth: the most vital thing for a priest is to keep his sanity.
