Helpfulness
Quite a few buildings on the monastery grounds are home to monastery shops. These offer all sorts of religious items from Orthodox books to icons as well as souvenirs.
In the shop inside the Water Tower I found a little English brochure about the monastery. It was priced at 50 Rubles.
I took one of the brochures and went to the lady at the cashier's desk who told me in Russian a price of 60 Rubles. As I speak some basic Russian I could understand her. I was a bit surprised about the higher price but thought that I might have seen a wrong price at the shelf, therefore I paid.
Then I went back to the shelf to check the price again. It was indeed only 50 Rubles, so I went back to the lady and told her about the correct price. Without hesiation she gave me 10 Rubles back. It was probably a good try to rip me off.

There is a lengthy pathway of souvenir tables leading from the entrance of the monastery to the city's main road.

We wanted to get out of Moscow for a day, and we chose Sergei Pasod as our destination. The city of Sergei Pasod is probably 100 miles from Moscow, and is the home of a monastery/fortress complex....
