Father Vasily, in the world Vasily Nikolaevich Novikov, was born from pious parents Nikolai Evgenievich and Nadezhda Vasilievna Novikov on January 14, 1949. After him, three children were born in the family - Lydia, Ivan and Sergey. The Novikov family lived in the village of Rakitino, Novomoskovsky district, Tula region. They lived in a small house. The family was very religious. The grandmother of Father Vasily, the old woman Pelageya Rakitinskaya, twice in her life went to Jerusalem on foot, from where she brought a lot of relics. The Lord endowed her with the gift of clairvoyance and healing of mental and physical ailments. A lot of people went to her for help and just asking for prayers. At the birth of Vasily, the old woman predicted that she would be born in this kind of “shepherd on the cross” and wept. "Shepherd" means the shepherd of the verbal sheep, the priest - in sorrow, "to the cross." The old woman Pelageya had two children: Nikolai, Vasily's father, and Nina, his aunt, to whom, after the death of their mother, people also turned for prayer and help and received it.
Vasily's childhood passed in village labors and worries. He grazed cows, rode horses, helped his parents, helped his parents cultivate gardens and fields, and was engaged in housekeeping and carpentry work. Mother (later nun Nadezhda) was a nurse by profession. After the death of her husband, in addition to household chores, she worked in the Epiphany John the Baptist Church, located eight kilometers from their village. She lit the lamps there, heated the stoves, cooked food and helped her spiritual father, Father Archpriest Mikhail (Chudakov), as best she could. Mother Nadezhda herself was an ascetic of piety: she prayed a lot, worked, and fasted. From the age of forty she refused meat: on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, the first and last weeks of Great Lent, except for prosphora and holy water, she ate nothing. Approximately twenty years before her death, she completely excluded fast food and fish, and until the last days she made prostrations. Mother was familiar with Matrona Sebenskaya (now glorified as Moscow). The blessed one once slept on the stove in the house of Elder Pelageya. Mother Nadezhda, worried about her children, went to Matronushka for advice, to which the old woman told her: “If you want a good boy to come out of Vasily, put two hundred bows for him every day.” She kept this commandment faithfully.
Mother from early childhood began to accustom children to prayer work and visiting the temple of God. They did not join either the pioneers or the Komsomol members, they always wore crosses. Vasily often visited the Epiphany Church, as well as the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra. Lavra singing especially sunk into the boy’s heart, which remained to live in him until his last breath. Vasily had an excellent musical memory, so during Divine Services he often stood next to the choir and sang along with it. How strictly mother Nadezhda brought up her son Vasily is evident from the stories of the father himself. He often said that as a child, his mother followed him with a stick so that he would not pick up bad habits. When Vasily was three years old, the spiritual father of the family, a perspicacious elder, Archpriest Michael, came to visit them at home. The father put his skullcap on the boy’s head and said: “I wish, Vasily, your head would be like mine!” This prophecy has come true.
At the end of eight classes of the Epifanskaya secondary school Vasily was drafted into the army, in the Northern Navy. He served three years on a submarine. For conscientious service he was respected by all. When the cook on the ship fell ill, they set Vasily to cook. So the father learned to cook well. Upon his return from service, he entered the Nodal Railway School as an assistant engineer. From ship to railway. Having excellently passed the exams, Vasily began to work in this profession. Soon he goes to distribution in Saratov region, Ershov, where he meets his future wife, Valentina. In 1973 he marries. The Novikov family lived in the town of Uzlovaya, Tula Region. They had three children - Natalia, Mikhail and Alexander. Vasily was put in a leadership position, but Vasily was offered a higher ministry - the priesthood - serving God at the Holy Throne. The choice was for Vasily. The wife was against it, saying that she was marrying a machinist, not a priest. Having prayed to God for enlightenment, Vasily lay down to rest. That night, in a dream, his wife saw in a dream a terrible huge monster heading for her. She jumped up in horror and softened a little after this vision.
Vasily went for prayerful help to the relics of the Great Russian saint - St. Sergius of Radonezh, whom he loved from early childhood. Standing at the shrine and praying fervently, Vasily receives admonishment: “How can I exchange service to God for temporary service to the world.” The choice has been made. Doubts dissipated.
On April 18, 1993, on Lazarus Saturday, Vasily was ordained a deacon, and the next day, on the feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), he was ordained a priest. So, through the prayers of Rev. Sergius, began serving God, Russia and the people. Sent to serve Fr. Basil in the village of Spasskoye, Novomoskovsk district, Tula region and the temple of the Exaltation of the Honest Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord. Having put a lot of work to restore this temple, they give him another temple in a neighboring village, almost destroyed. Batiushka, with God's help, with the help of parishioners and benefactors, is restoring this temple in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
In 1997, during the Passion Week of Great Lent, the wife of Fr. Vasily. After which he finally ceases to live in the village. Spasskoye. Constantly taking care of church splendor and deanery: church painting, construction of a baptismal, almshouse, etc. choir singing, Sunday school for children and adults. The priest did not forget about the spiritual feat: night vigil, unceasing prayer, reading spiritual books and patristic writings. Since 2003, night vigils have been held in the Church of the Savior: the reading of akathists and hymns. In addition to all of the above, the priest fed a huge number of people. Those who came to him received spiritual help and left inspired. For zealous pure service, the Lord rewarded Fr. Basil with various spiritual gifts: fiery and bold prayer, clairvoyance, healing of souls and bodies, reasoning, expelling unclean spirits, etc. saint - oh. Vasily.
On April 4, 2006, with the blessing of the bishop, Father Vasily received secret monastic vows from two hieromonks serving in the ROC MP, retaining his name. On the same day, with the blessing of Vladyka, another 17 people were tonsured as monks. Thus began the creation of the monastery. By the example of his life, the priest directed many to salvation. He revered St. martyr-Tsar Nicholas as a redeemer of the sins of the Russian people, went to the rite of repentance in the village. Taininskoye himself repeatedly held it in his temple. The priest also prayed for the restoration of the autocratic royal power to save Russia.
In 2008, Fr. Basil was forced to sign a petition for the state, and he began to serve at home, applying the 15th canon of the Double Council of Constantinople (part 2).
The priest did not forget about the poor, hungry, wretched, large families, orphanages and invalids, spiritually nourished the Cossacks and inspired them to fight against the enemies of the Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland: he loved children, gave gifts, attended Sunday school children's holidays.
O. Vasily was a zealous denunciator of globalism and ecumenism, for which his followers of the authorities accused him of extremism.
In the spring of 2010, Batiushka fell seriously ill. Losing strength, he did not stop serving, saying: “I don’t need anything, if only the Lord would give strength to serve the Liturgy.”
November 4, 2010 in the village. Ivankovo was the consecration of the font over the source, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, built by the efforts of Fr. Basil and his spiritual children.
Anticipating the imminent death, the father makes dying testament, leaving behind to perform the duties of abbess - mon. Natalia, and as a confessor - a priest. Alexandra (later hierosh. Theodora)
The day before his departure to the Lord, the priest had the last convocation and communed of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, which he received this time lying down from bodily exhaustion, but in full memory and with a deep feeling of compunction. On November 11, at about 7 o'clock in the morning, while reading the canon on the separation of the soul from the body, the priest peacefully, with a smile on his face, betrayed his righteous soul in the hands of God.
The death of our reverend father Basil was peaceful and quiet, simple and majestic at the same time, like his whole life, fading away like the dawn of a bright day, leaving a quiet night of sorrow in the hearts of his devotees. On this day, the Lord miraculously gathered all the priests of the same spirit in one place - to honor the death of the righteous. The sun "played" like on Easter. A rainbow appeared in the cemetery. The burial of Father Vasily took place with a huge gathering of people who came from all over Russia to see last way beloved father and mentor, and approached the bright spiritual celebration. Saying goodbye to the priest, the demon-possessed could not immediately approach the coffin. It can be said in the words of Rev. Anthony of Optinsky: “I don’t know, we, the poor from good deeds, will be worthy of such a great prayerful memory of ourselves, which our blessed elder was honored with, whose holy soul will settle in good deeds. God's words are true: Only in the future I will glorify me (1 Sam. 2:30). And just as this elder loved everyone in his life, so by the death of many he gathered for his coffin.
The lamp of God, which enlightens the souls of people with the light of Christ's faith and love, has died out in a difficult and difficult time.
Since the beginning of 2012, Fr. Vasily began to appear redness, which intensified over time. On November 26, 2012, for the first time, the image of the priest profusely streamed myrrh. The flow of myrrh continues to this day.
We believe that our father Vasily will stand before the Throne of the Holy Trinity in the guise of Russian saints, not leaving the monastery and us sinners with his auspicious prayers.
Holy Father Basil, pray to God for us!

We are pleased, - he said, - on behalf of the Council of Veterans of the Tank Army, to convey to you, fellow countrymen of our brother-soldier, heartfelt greetings and congratulations on the Day of Tankers, which was celebrated yesterday in our country.
With Vasily Ivanovich, - continues the veteran of the war, - I was familiar with the first day of his service in the 53rd Guards Tank Brigade. I remember him as a brave, honest, intelligent and very sincere young man. We veterans often remember him and are proud of him and his heroic deed. He was the first to cross the state border in his tank and entered the territory Western Europe. In an unequal hard fight Novikov's tank was hit by the Nazis and caught fire, and Vasily Ivanovich himself was seriously injured, from which he died. You, fellow countrymen of the hero, can be proud of your comrade, who worked within the walls of this shop.
With bated breath, the participants of the rally listened to the speech of the fighting friend and comrade Vasily Ivanovich MG Niskerov.
Mikhail Grigoryevich, together with V.I. Novikov, received combat vehicles, the famous "thirty-four". Together he arrived in a tank brigade, and then for a year he fought side by side on the front line, smashing hordes of Nazis.
There are people, - he said, - with whom you have been working for many years or had a chance to fight for a long time, but their names are smoothed out in memory. The image of Vasily Ivanovich will remain in my memory for the rest of my life. Young, handsome, with lush hair, bold, even desperate, but honest, good-natured and very sensitive to his comrades - that's how I remember him.
Our joint first battle, - says the veteran of the war, - was near Ternopil. The operation was called "Lviv". The Nazis concentrated very large forces here. Our tank unit was given the task to go to the Sudovaya Vishnya railway station. Three tanks were in the lead, including mine and Vasily Ivanovich's. Coming to the station, our three cars were behind enemy lines. Here I saw the true heroism and high skill of my friend. He, like a meteor, rushed on his "thirty-four", shot and crushed the Nazis and their military equipment with caterpillars. At the station, our three vehicles held up three trains and blocked 13 ammunition depots. A lot of military equipment was destroyed. A staff car was knocked out here and very important documents were seized.
M. G. Niskerov, together with our countryman, participated in the battles for the liberation of Przemysl, which was defended by fascist armored trains. And here Vasily Ivanovich boldly entered into single combat with an armored fortress and put it out of action.
There were many other combat episodes, - said M. G. Niskerov, - after all, the whole war is a great battle, which absorbed thousands of combat episodes. The tankers were very worried about the death of their comrade. Our unit fought its way to Berlin, and ended the war in Prague, and everywhere we mercilessly smashed the Nazis. We avenged the life of our best friend and comrade-in-arms, your countryman Vasily Ivanovich Novikov.
I, personally, did not meet with Vasily Ivanovich, - said V. A. Lisitsyn, - but I knew about his heroic deeds from front-line newspapers. He lived a short but brilliant life.
Eighteen-year-old boy in 1942 went to the front LN Petrov. As part of the tank army, he traveled along the roads of war from Tula, through Orel, Belorussian and Ukraine to Berlin. He received several wounds, but each time he returned to the front line. He still wears 16 fragments in his body, as he says, metal cast at the Krupa factories.
The rally participants were very warmly greeted by a message from a member of the Council of Army Veterans that, in honor of the memory of Vasily Ivanovich Novikov, the Council decided to award the staff of the shop with a guards badge, which will be transferred to the best turner of the shop. The machine will be awarded the title of "Guards", and the turner - "Guards". Turner Viktor Ivanovich Kitaev was the first to accept this high award. Accepting the award from the hands of a war veteran, he assured the guests and the entire team that high rank justifies.
A participant in the war, a former tankman, a heat-treater A. S. Legkov, spoke on behalf of the workshop staff. He congratulated the veterans of the war on the Day of Tankers and assured them that the workshop staff would never forget the names of those who gave their lives during the terrible years of the Patriotic War.
After the rally, veterans - the guardsmen laid fresh flowers at the memorial plaque to Vasily Ivanovich Novikov.
