Some of his sermons are also recorded. He died very young in exile in 1931 from tuberculosis. All short life of Fr. hieromonk Nikon is imbued with a deep faith in God and unshakable devotion to His will under all difficult circumstances: in a monastery, in imprisonment, and in exile - and is so instructive that we considered it necessary to collect the available information about him (far from complete) that make up this biography.
