00:00:04Hello, elections to the State Duma are concluding in Russia.
00:00:08Vladyka, the previous composition of the State Duma
00:00:11adopted a large number of bills supported by the Russian
00:00:14Church. What topics, what laws do you
00:00:18think we should pay attention to first, both in the past and in the future?
00:00:21The previous State
00:00:24Duma adopted many laws, of course, primarily they concerned.
00:00:28The Gospel is impossible
00:02:00to imagine
00:02:01our culture without the
00:02:05foundation that grows from Russian icon painting.
00:02:08Politics is just a part of life.
00:02:12If it abandons some of its basic Christian
00:02:15meanings, then we probably observe the processes that, well, like in
00:02:19Europe, and today we see fragments of that civilization that are
00:02:23slowly being eaten away from different sides by representatives of one or another
00:02:26fashionable agenda, yes, in a wide range.
00:02:30From leftists to
00:02:33LGBT and so on, and what remains of this culture is not
00:02:36very clear. In general, the dialogue between
00:02:40the government and the church is not a dialogue about where we build how many churches, it's a dialogue
00:02:44about how we can together build such a country
00:02:47in which nothing like, say,
00:02:51the opening of the Olympics in Paris will ever happen.
00:02:54For this not to happen, we must clearly understand what
00:02:58values we rely on, based on these values.
00:04:30constantly, because everything changes, drones change,
00:04:33the nature of war changes, of course, the Kingdom of Heaven
00:04:37lost eight priests, two of them
00:04:40posthumously Heroes of the Russian Federation, 64
00:04:44priests have state
00:04:46awards, and six of them have Orders of
00:04:50Courage, and many children and young and
00:04:53elderly priests, indeed today we are
00:04:56quite fearless, the church has always been...
00:05:00with its people, the army is part of the people,
00:05:03the defense of the fatherland is a sacred cause,
00:05:07so today priests are with their
00:05:10people, with their army, including
00:05:13in the trenches, in continuation of what you are saying, tomorrow is the anniversary of the Kulikovo Battle and the Nativity of the Most Holy
00:05:17Theotokos, and as we know historically, this is not just
00:05:20a coincidence, what significance does faith
00:05:23play for warriors today? I
00:05:26think that only after some time after this
00:05:30war, we will truly
00:05:33fully understand and comprehend
00:05:37what happened to us, to
00:05:40everyone, and how much faith.
00:06:12understanding that there are they, God, somewhere behind
00:06:16is the country, nothing else, this is an endless steppe in the middle of which they
00:06:19and the enemy are, this is a tradition that connects us with our
00:06:23ancestors, and spiritually and physically connects
00:06:27us with our ancestors, because everything was exactly the same
00:06:31when it comes, so to speak, to military
00:06:34actions, to the fact that a person stands, so to speak, before
00:06:37death, without faith, faith in God, I would say, faith
00:06:41in immortality, "it seems to me, it's impossible
00:06:44to go into battle, how many ordinary
00:06:48Russian men who, in general, had not taken the church seriously before,
00:06:51maybe they weren't even baptized, but at the
00:06:55front they truly become believers,
00:06:58some are baptized, because they understand that, yes,
00:07:02there is something more, which is probably difficult to describe
00:07:05in words, when you are on the verge of life,
00:07:08death, when you remember your whole life, when all words"...
00:08:42or by such an agreement that
00:08:46will forever nail with nails,
00:08:49like a board, yes, they nailed the safety of Russian people, the safety
00:08:52of Russia as a state, this is the main, the only thing, when we achieve this goal,
00:08:56how will we understand that we have achieved it, then it is over, why do they shoot
00:09:00at churches, we think, they are Orthodox people,
00:09:02but something terrible has happened to them, some have been
00:09:06broken, some have been reprogrammed, some have integrated into
00:09:10this... common context, you must be necessarily
00:09:13anti-Russian, if you are anti-Russian,
00:09:16anti-Russian, if you are an antagonist of everything Russian, then
00:09:19you must hate the Russian church,
00:09:23why shelling of churches, for the same
00:09:25reason that in Ukraine priests are killed, why in
00:09:29Ukraine in the Lavra culinary
00:09:32shows are arranged, literally demon-possessed people
00:09:35dance to some song "we cut Muscovites", when
00:09:39a person who speaks Russian... thinking in Russian, grown up in
00:09:42Russian civilization, says to himself: I am not
00:09:46Russian, then he rejects, casts out of himself everything, including
00:09:49faith, and the church,
00:09:52that cult that
00:09:55arises in Ukraine, it is very specific, there, you know, there is, as it were,
00:09:58correct Orthodoxy, it is Ukrainian, there is incorrect, it is Muscovite,
00:10:02there are correct churches, these are ours, our Christ is correct, but theirs,
00:10:06the Muscovites', is incorrect, therefore, we will
00:10:09these churches - the relics of Saint
00:10:55Spyridon of Trimythous traveled through 13 cities in a month,
00:10:58all the last days they were in Moscow, in each
00:11:02city, a huge number of
00:11:05people came to venerate the relics, and I want to recall the words of His Holiness
00:11:09Patriarch: let us pray that
00:11:12Saint Spyridon will heal our ailments, spiritual
00:11:15and bodily, that Saint Spyridon
00:11:18with his prayers will strengthen the unity of the Orthodox
00:11:22Church.
00:11:36Let us believe that through his intercession to the Lord the evil
00:11:39hearts will be softened, the minds of those
00:11:43who do not know what
00:11:46they are doing will be enlightened. So, for you,
00:11:49such a massive pilgrimage
00:11:53to the relics, and here I...
00:16:07when I saw the video, photographs, I was
00:16:10amazed, there were about 40 young people gathered, and
00:16:14some were already married, well, quite young people, yes, maybe up to
00:16:1730 years old, there are eighteen-year-old guys,
00:16:20our gymnasiums, Orthodox, this can also be called
00:16:23youth, especially when the guys are graduating, yes, from
00:16:27the gymnasium, but there are not enough funds, to build gymnasiums they
00:16:31are packed, and I say a huge
00:16:34number of people want it, that is, it is in demand on...
00:17:07these crazy grandmothers, right,
00:17:10so, losers, they created
00:17:14exactly this narrative over the years, right, they created
00:17:17the image of an Orthodox person
00:17:21as some slightly crazy,
00:17:23unwashed city fool, and this
00:17:27was done absolutely consciously, now I
00:17:30see how with some surprise
00:17:33many people note for themselves that the cross procession
00:17:37has...
00:18:07there are many more men in churches, I absolutely confirm this, that is, this is
00:18:11a rallying point, right, for the Russian people, today in
00:18:14a time of severe trials, the church, cross processions -
00:18:18these are the places where people suddenly - from another
00:18:22side look at themselves, in communication with young people
00:18:26it is important not to overthink, not to over-force, not to overdo
00:18:30in admonition, a person who has come, a person
00:18:33who is interested, he will still рано or поздно understand everything himself, come to everything, just a little
00:18:36correction is needed, that's all,
00:18:40thank you very much for this conversation, this was the
00:18:44program Church and the World, a joint project of TV channels
00:18:47Russia 24 and Spas, goodbye.
00:21:50elections there are proceeding calmly, the level of control is unprecedented, the reaction to
00:21:53incoming complaints is instant, voters
00:21:56are demonstrating high activity, so
00:21:59the head Pamfilova assessed the course of voting, today is the third
00:22:03final day, in the regions of the eastern part of the country, polling stations have already
00:22:07closed, vote counting is underway, all information flows to the
00:22:10Central Election Commission, my colleague Darya Kozlova is working there, she
00:22:13is again on live connection, yes, hello again, what
00:22:17information at this hour? Yury, hello.
00:22:20everything again, but the information is that the turnout first of all
00:22:23continues to grow, at this moment it is
00:22:2554.4%, now it's already
00:22:29more, just a couple of minutes ago polling stations closed in
00:22:33the regions of the Urals, Central Russia, Kaliningrad region, of course, continues
00:22:37to vote, so these figures are not
00:22:39final, we can already state a steady
00:22:42trend of increasing voter activity in parliamentary
00:22:46elections in Russia, in 2016 the turnout figures were slightly...
