in the forty-third year, 200 students were accepted in the interests of the people's commissariat of foreigners - this is the kursk bulge, the war is still far from completely over. it was a strategic decision to mobilize in one place the best professors in the field of the history of law, economics, and studies of foreign languages ​​in order to train a new generation of diplomats for the new post-war world . to this holiday of faculty. of course, we are planning a big celebration in honor of the anniversary, but in addition, we have a large scientific practical program. i am planning a series of student initiative publications. and, of course, a big meeting of our graduates. i think that the faculty of international relations is in some way a national treasure of our country, where so many rare and diverse specialists are trained in so many countries of the world, they

thank you very much, lord. thank you for coming to us and opening the thirty-first season. god bless you in the same way, my dear viewers, there was a wonderful holiday recently. birthday blessed lady of the mother of god, may she keep you. well, us, of course, all the best.

to the grand duke daniel of moscow and the miracle worker, the oval of the church.

christ's praise of the high city of moscow is the wall of an invincible power. russian divine affirmation, unexpected reverend or to your holy icon flowing fervently we pray, we contemplate your memory of those who sing and with faith and under the blood the prayer of your resorting to shedding your intercession. lord of all, supposedly will establish the world of the country. your city of all moscow, the first city the plunder weighs and the abode from its goodness will keep the piety of the love of the people in your planting. malice is already intercourse and mores of corruption uprooting all

wives laying everything on temporary life and eternal salvation gift and prayer and yours when i glorify my wondrous saints christ our god forever and ever. the lord christ is risen kind words because of the beautiful image and for the way the prayerful spiritual life of the entire holy monastery is maintained, which is one of

the most central cloisters of our church. firstly, because she is the oldest in the city moscow well, and secondly, because it is here that the official center of the russian orthodox church. this monastery is open to many people. and my heart rejoices that with the passage of time, there are not fewer, but more believers. and especially in these last troubled years. so it turns out, according to the russian proverb, thunder will not strike, the peasant will not cross himself. and when everything is safely calm or, as in everyday life, we say imposingly, well, somehow the gods, we think, are on the periphery of our consciousness and on the periphery of our agenda. went to church. well did not go well. well, i can't be busy today. but

external circumstances most often and god forbid that it always be so. mobilizes our religious feeling mobilizes, including our awareness of belonging to the church today is such a time of anxiety. very disturbing too. and in order for all dangers to pass our homeland so that those who dream of crushing russia as an independent truly independent state of such states can only be listed on one hand , and all in one way or another depend on world centers of power. russia does not depend on any centers of power that are outside its

sovereign territory. this is a great privilege. but it is also a huge cross. because there are always those who would like to introduce such a rich and strong into the orbit of their influence. country like russia, but even today we know that the world is unsettled. does russia continue its truly sovereign historical existence? and in many ways this sovereignty, if you look at our history, was determined by the strength of the spirit of the russian people. the power of the spiritual influence of the church on our fatherland we know what a huge role the church played in liberation. russia from foreign forces, we know exactly how the church inspired

the soldiers. to historical battles, as a result of which the motherland remained sovereign and free. we know how the saints prayed for the country , for the grand duke, and then for the tsar and for the armies. so today, the time has come when we must especially pray for our fatherland, for the president. who cares? what is the head of state called? for our president for our army to have strength in the country. preserve its true independence from the most powerful forces ruling today over most of the countries of the world. russia has a special historical path and when

everything is safely calm. we think about it a little. but when troubled times come, you begin to become especially aware of the world 's fateful mission. so it was in antiquity. it seems so, and today this special mission is returning again and placed on the shoulders of our people. today we prayed to saint daniel prince. and his father, the holy noble grand duke alexander nevsky, who, by virtue of their position, combined both the head of the state and the head of the army. but how difficult it was. after all, where there is an army there is a sword, and where there is a sword, there is death. and what kind of spiritual

strength was needed? how was it necessary to realize one's moral and spiritual responsibility for leading the country and armies, having a sword at the hip? to remain a holy man, here are the great princes whom we remember today alexander nevsky daniil moskovsky managed to combine this political mission with a military mission with holiness, but, probably, such a combination is a guarantee that a country with such a head will never be. commit war crimes

because if at the head of the fatherland, at the head of the host, a saint man yes, even if he may not be a saint, but a believing person, an orthodox baptized person, conscious of his responsibility before god before the church before the country. then, in many respects, the country is guaranteed against all kinds of military adventures. then the country can be sure that the sword at the hip will be taken out and worn out only when it is morally moral and even spiritually justified there. today we want to say again that we live in this very difficult time. and therefore, our prayer today is special for the head of our state, and for the supreme commander in chief, vladimir vladimirovich putin

, who has a special special responsibility, as well as over all military leaders and those. who is in power. so that the lord wisely strengthened, enlightened , protected from sins and from mistakes, and at the same time inspired to actions that would bring protection to our fatherland from all outsiders. even perhaps the most dangerous and terrible threats. st. daniel the reverend prince of moscow in a special way, uniting spiritual and public service in himself, is a wonderful example of how in one person the seemingly incompatible can be combined. and in a

way. the example of st. daniel is a kind of model for all who accept the power of supreme power in russia. but prince daniel is undoubtedly in his prayers. and you can be sure of this leaves. i think of those who lead russia like all of our fatherland? and we believe, as long as the holy princes, the rulers of our earth, are revered in russia, having united the spiritual material heavenly earthly political state and personal spiritual experience,

our earth will indeed be strong spiritual feat. lord the russian land city of moscow and petersburg and all our cities and villages. so that under them prayerful intercession before god strengthened the spiritual and material strength of russia, so that our fatherland until the end of time would always be truly free, independent and, first of all, preserving its faith and piety and uniting its people with love and prayer. amen happy holidays. in memory of

today's stay. i would like to donate for the convents. here are these artificially embroidered covers. but also for the brethren. here is another little book, which consists of my texts on lord, when there is absolutely nothing to read. read it first. thank you lord my dear.
