Dear Friends,
Thank you for your prompt and courteous responses to this, my first post on this forum.
As I had never seen any evidence of HIM Tsar Nikolai smoking a pipe, I rather suspected that, had he done so, there would be ample photographic material to support it.
I look forward to getting to know all of you better.
In Christ,
Br. Nikolai Steblez (Yelenev-Gorlenko)
