PIONEER RUSSIANS OF
ALASKA RECALL THE
HISTORIC EARLY DAYS
LEGENDARY DAYS THAT CALL
BACK TO EARLY DAYS OF
AFOGNAK, OUZINKIE
There is a connecting link between
old monastery days of monks and
prayers and chants, and modern
day life at Ouzinkie in the person of
Nicolai Shusharankin, who has long
passed the four-score mark, who
tells interesting tales about Monk’s
Lagoon, and the last inhabitants of
the monastery, says the Seward
Gateway.
The patriarch’s favorite tale is
about the last, lone monk who oc
cupied the retreat, described as a
powerful giant of a man who pos
sessed enormous strength of body,
but who, like other Russian monks
of that period, was too fond of his
wine. One morning, following a
night of terror and flames, the giant
monk’s ashes were found mingled
with the ashes of the monastery
building.
Decades have passed since then,
but the flame of interest in the old
monastery and its inhabitants has
been kept alive by the stories of
Nicolai and legendary tales that
have been handed down from father
to son.
And now the people are aiming
for the rehabilitation of the old
scene and to that end have rebuilt
on the old monastery site, which,
with the old chapel that still stands,
make a memorial unit.
The new house will be occupied
by Father Grassim, a monk, who
fled Russia during the revolution,
and who has been ministering to
the native people of Afognak and
Ouzinkie since he came to Alaska.
Father Grassim is described as
a man of unusual understanding
and kindness and in the years that
he has lived among the people has
endeared himself to natives and to

whites alike.
What is regarded as an unfortun
ate modern touch has been added,
to the ancient church, the antique
altar candlesticks having been trad
ed by an unthinking visiting priest
to a cannery superintendent for
new ones, according to the story
that is told. But through the years
the church has been kept in repair
and presents today the same ap
pearance as in old Russian days.
Services are frequently held in
the old monastery church by visit
ing priests, and with Father Gras
sim living at Monk’s dagoon in the
new house on the old site, it is ex- •
pected that the people in greater
numbers and with greater frequ
ency will flock to the isolated cha
pel at Monk’s lagoon, there to enter
again upon the old scenes that fire
and revolutionary changes have so
long mantled with silence.
