St. Panteleimon Monastery
St. Panteleimon Monastery (Greek: Άγιος Παντελεήμων, Aghios Panteleimon; Russian: Пантелеймонов), known as Rossikon (Ρωσσικόν, Русикон), is an Eastern Orthodox monastery built on the southwest side of the peninsula of Mount Athos in Macedonia, Northern Greece. It is often referred to as "Russian" and does have historical and liturgical ties to the Russian Orthodox Church; nevertheless, like all the other monastic settlements on Mount Athos, the monastery is under the direct ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and all its monks are citizens of Greece, usually naturalized.
History
The monastery was founded by several monks from Kievan Rus in the 11th century, which is why it is known as "Rossikon". It has been inhabited by mainly Russian monks in certain periods of its history. It was recognized as a separate monastery in 1169.
Russian pilgrim Isaiah confirms that, by the end of the 15th century, the monastery was Russian.
The monastery prospered in the 16th and 17th centuries being lavishly sponsored by the tsars of Moscovy, but it declined dramatically in the 18th century to the point where there were only two Russian and two Bulgarian monks left by 1730.

The Crime
by: Raise KainGetting stronger than I was before. The smoke is gone for
shure, but flames still ruin the floor. The ability to
love someone, I always thought was gone, had been there
all along. I've been somewhat gone, but I can see clearly
now. Don't you worry now; I'll get by somehow. I thought
what we had was feeling right. How could I've known that
you wanted to spend the nights with me. I can only get on
with my life. I just realize time's killing me. I've been
somewhat gone But I can see clearly now. Don't you worry
now; I'll get by somehow The Crime. Now its all too clear
if you were here. You'd still not see what that shit has
done to me. The time I looked for the time to break your
