[00:00:04] Hello, elections to the State Duma are concluding in Russia.
[00:00:08] Vladyka, the previous composition of the State Duma
[00:00:11] adopted a large number of bills supported by the Russian
[00:00:14] Church. What topics, what laws do you
[00:00:18] think we should pay attention to first, both in the past and in the future?
[00:00:21] The previous State
[00:00:24] Duma adopted many laws, of course, primarily they concerned.
[00:00:28] The Gospel is impossible
[00:02:00] to imagine
[00:02:01] our culture without the
[00:02:05] foundation that grows from Russian icon painting.
[00:02:08] Politics is just a part of life.
[00:02:12] If it abandons some of its basic Christian
[00:02:15] meanings, then we probably observe the processes that, well, like in
[00:02:19] Europe, and today we see fragments of that civilization that are
[00:02:23] slowly being eaten away from different sides by representatives of one or another
[00:02:26] fashionable agenda, yes, in a wide range.
[00:02:30] From leftists to
[00:02:33] LGBT and so on, and what remains of this culture is not
[00:02:36] very clear. In general, the dialogue between
[00:02:40] the government and the church is not a dialogue about where we build how many churches, it's a dialogue
[00:02:44] about how we can together build such a country
[00:02:47] in which nothing like, say,
[00:02:51] the opening of the Olympics in Paris will ever happen.
[00:02:54] For this not to happen, we must clearly understand what
[00:02:58] values we rely on, based on these values.
[00:04:30] constantly, because everything changes, drones change,
[00:04:33] the nature of war changes, of course, the Kingdom of Heaven
[00:04:37] lost eight priests, two of them
[00:04:40] posthumously Heroes of the Russian Federation, 64
[00:04:44] priests have state
[00:04:46] awards, and six of them have Orders of
[00:04:50] Courage, and many children and young and
[00:04:53] elderly priests, indeed today we are
[00:04:56] quite fearless, the church has always been...
[00:05:00] with its people, the army is part of the people,
[00:05:03] the defense of the fatherland is a sacred cause,
[00:05:07] so today priests are with their
[00:05:10] people, with their army, including
[00:05:13] in the trenches, in continuation of what you are saying, tomorrow is the anniversary of the Kulikovo Battle and the Nativity of the Most Holy
[00:05:17] Theotokos, and as we know historically, this is not just
[00:05:20] a coincidence, what significance does faith
[00:05:23] play for warriors today? I
[00:05:26] think that only after some time after this
[00:05:30] war, we will truly
[00:05:33] fully understand and comprehend
[00:05:37] what happened to us, to
[00:05:40] everyone, and how much faith.
[00:06:12] understanding that there are they, God, somewhere behind
[00:06:16] is the country, nothing else, this is an endless steppe in the middle of which they
[00:06:19] and the enemy are, this is a tradition that connects us with our
[00:06:23] ancestors, and spiritually and physically connects
[00:06:27] us with our ancestors, because everything was exactly the same
[00:06:31] when it comes, so to speak, to military
[00:06:34] actions, to the fact that a person stands, so to speak, before
[00:06:37] death, without faith, faith in God, I would say, faith
[00:06:41] in immortality, "it seems to me, it's impossible
[00:06:44] to go into battle, how many ordinary
[00:06:48] Russian men who, in general, had not taken the church seriously before,
[00:06:51] maybe they weren't even baptized, but at the
[00:06:55] front they truly become believers,
[00:06:58] some are baptized, because they understand that, yes,
[00:07:02] there is something more, which is probably difficult to describe
[00:07:05] in words, when you are on the verge of life,
[00:07:08] death, when you remember your whole life, when all words"...
[00:08:42] or by such an agreement that
[00:08:46] will forever nail with nails,
[00:08:49] like a board, yes, they nailed the safety of Russian people, the safety
[00:08:52] of Russia as a state, this is the main, the only thing, when we achieve this goal,
[00:08:56] how will we understand that we have achieved it, then it is over, why do they shoot
[00:09:00] at churches, we think, they are Orthodox people,
[00:09:02] but something terrible has happened to them, some have been
[00:09:06] broken, some have been reprogrammed, some have integrated into
[00:09:10] this... common context, you must be necessarily
[00:09:13] anti-Russian, if you are anti-Russian,
[00:09:16] anti-Russian, if you are an antagonist of everything Russian, then
[00:09:19] you must hate the Russian church,
[00:09:23] why shelling of churches, for the same
[00:09:25] reason that in Ukraine priests are killed, why in
[00:09:29] Ukraine in the Lavra culinary
[00:09:32] shows are arranged, literally demon-possessed people
[00:09:35] dance to some song "we cut Muscovites", when
[00:09:39] a person who speaks Russian... thinking in Russian, grown up in
[00:09:42] Russian civilization, says to himself: I am not
[00:09:46] Russian, then he rejects, casts out of himself everything, including
[00:09:49] faith, and the church,
[00:09:52] that cult that
[00:09:55] arises in Ukraine, it is very specific, there, you know, there is, as it were,
[00:09:58] correct Orthodoxy, it is Ukrainian, there is incorrect, it is Muscovite,
[00:10:02] there are correct churches, these are ours, our Christ is correct, but theirs,
[00:10:06] the Muscovites', is incorrect, therefore, we will
[00:10:09] these churches - the relics of Saint
[00:10:55] Spyridon of Trimythous traveled through 13 cities in a month,
[00:10:58] all the last days they were in Moscow, in each
[00:11:02] city, a huge number of
[00:11:05] people came to venerate the relics, and I want to recall the words of His Holiness
[00:11:09] Patriarch: let us pray that
[00:11:12] Saint Spyridon will heal our ailments, spiritual
[00:11:15] and bodily, that Saint Spyridon
[00:11:18] with his prayers will strengthen the unity of the Orthodox
[00:11:22] Church.
[00:11:36] Let us believe that through his intercession to the Lord the evil
[00:11:39] hearts will be softened, the minds of those
[00:11:43] who do not know what
[00:11:46] they are doing will be enlightened. So, for you,
[00:11:49] such a massive pilgrimage
[00:11:53] to the relics, and here I...
[00:16:07] when I saw the video, photographs, I was
[00:16:10] amazed, there were about 40 young people gathered, and
[00:16:14] some were already married, well, quite young people, yes, maybe up to
[00:16:17] 30 years old, there are eighteen-year-old guys,
[00:16:20] our gymnasiums, Orthodox, this can also be called
[00:16:23] youth, especially when the guys are graduating, yes, from
[00:16:27] the gymnasium, but there are not enough funds, to build gymnasiums they
[00:16:31] are packed, and I say a huge
[00:16:34] number of people want it, that is, it is in demand on...
[00:17:07] these crazy grandmothers, right,
[00:17:10] so, losers, they created
[00:17:14] exactly this narrative over the years, right, they created
[00:17:17] the image of an Orthodox person
[00:17:21] as some slightly crazy,
[00:17:23] unwashed city fool, and this
[00:17:27] was done absolutely consciously, now I
[00:17:30] see how with some surprise
[00:17:33] many people note for themselves that the cross procession
[00:17:37] has...
[00:18:07] there are many more men in churches, I absolutely confirm this, that is, this is
[00:18:11] a rallying point, right, for the Russian people, today in
[00:18:14] a time of severe trials, the church, cross processions -
[00:18:18] these are the places where people suddenly - from another
[00:18:22] side look at themselves, in communication with young people
[00:18:26] it is important not to overthink, not to over-force, not to overdo
[00:18:30] in admonition, a person who has come, a person
[00:18:33] who is interested, he will still рано or поздно understand everything himself, come to everything, just a little
[00:18:36] correction is needed, that's all,
[00:18:40] thank you very much for this conversation, this was the
[00:18:44] program Church and the World, a joint project of TV channels
[00:18:47] Russia 24 and Spas, goodbye.
[00:21:50] elections there are proceeding calmly, the level of control is unprecedented, the reaction to
[00:21:53] incoming complaints is instant, voters
[00:21:56] are demonstrating high activity, so
[00:21:59] the head Pamfilova assessed the course of voting, today is the third
[00:22:03] final day, in the regions of the eastern part of the country, polling stations have already
[00:22:07] closed, vote counting is underway, all information flows to the
[00:22:10] Central Election Commission, my colleague Darya Kozlova is working there, she
[00:22:13] is again on live connection, yes, hello again, what
[00:22:17] information at this hour? Yury, hello.
[00:22:20] everything again, but the information is that the turnout first of all
[00:22:23] continues to grow, at this moment it is
[00:22:25] 54.4%, now it's already
[00:22:29] more, just a couple of minutes ago polling stations closed in
[00:22:33] the regions of the Urals, Central Russia, Kaliningrad region, of course, continues
[00:22:37] to vote, so these figures are not
[00:22:39] final, we can already state a steady
[00:22:42] trend of increasing voter activity in parliamentary
[00:22:46] elections in Russia, in 2016 the turnout figures were slightly...
