gas, which in the 17th century russia had the strongest trade relations and the strongest, objectively, allied relations helping each other, but a country that really always fluctuated depending on its interests. it was england and , by the way, it always won, but the thing is that peter, after all, also always bent his line. and in this regard, he was absolutely right even when, at the end of the northern war, he fell into the so -called brilliant isolation. that is, he actually lost allies, because everyone it seemed that russia won too much in this northern war. in this position, he did not turn anywhere and not a civilian world. eh, was imprisoned. eh, in the most brilliant way for russia, i

will not argue with you. it makes no sense, but you are my dear viewers. you heard what tatyana vasilyevna said, you heard what i tried to say approximately, and i free my own opinion, because history, thank god, is not an exact science .

vladyka agafangel your excellency mr. governor dear fathers, brothers and sisters distinguished guests. i would like to congratulate all of you on an important historical event 4 years ago, the lord brought me to this place and then had the opportunity to lay a stone in the foundation of this temple. when do you visit the northern regions of the country? in which the climate differs from those regions where the majority of the population lives, when you see how fragile the nature of the north is, you understand how strong people must be in order to live here, work, build, create. but, if we take into account the economic significance of norilsk, which, by the way, they had the opportunity to

get acquainted with. so, when you understand how important all this is for the country, then at the same time you realize the feat that people carry out here, carrying out labor watch, and simply doing everything necessary to ensure that there is a sufficiently comfortable human life and develops local society. developing all the necessary aspects of social life. this is how it happens here. but it is quite obvious that in order to do something here in relation to other regions that are more calm and comfortable from a climatic point of view. you need to put in a lot more effort. as if per unit of labor done here,

undoubtedly, people expend more energy. and yesterday i managed to go down to a depth of 2 km, and there at that depth to see the work of the miners is really a heroic work. you are in that a zone where it is already warm, warm from the heat that is inside the earth and you understand, at what depth you are. and you feel a lack of oxygen and you understand that the conditions are very difficult and people work wonderfully at this depth and you are filled with deep respect and gratitude to all those who carry their labor here, as well as to family members who are separated by miners and other workers who are not simple everyday life and undoubtedly help to work, maintaining a good

mood, which is very necessary, and health. i am i would like to thank everyone who works here and mr. governor and his team. all those who are in the slaughter of those who provide production, but also those who are engaged in culture here, who teaches children, who provides medical care, who guards the order necessary in any human community, are you doing really great? i would say a great deal. the development of the russian north is the development of those territories in which countless treasures are huge wealth . the huge potential of our country. and when if you realize the scale and strength of this potential, then you understand how futile all attempts to scare our

country are with what we are seeing today in the field of international relations. those scarecrows would be brought here and placed in all the conditions in which you work, work, and so that they look at your faces and see this willpower, willpower , spirit, ability to overcome difficulties. but then maybe even more thought would be worth offending the russians or not? god help us all , this is not an easy time to work, to each in his own way. place, strengthening the strength of our country, the power of our fatherland, which today is synonymous with our common security and common well-being. we believe that it will be so. all of you my dears. i would like to once again sincerely thank you. but the work that you carry here

in these difficult conditions, but how you improve this wonderful land. how does education, culture of sciences, social life develop? in far from simple and difficult climatic conditions, may the lord help you all strengthen your spiritual and physical strength. especially my prayer to the youth is for the children who from our generation should take over the watch of service to the fatherland. but what could be the most important watch of the preservation of the orthodox faith? because the power of the people. always associated with the power of faith. when faith weakened, then the people became weaker. not without reason, during the war, as i was told, and many who fought even at the forefront in the trenches

, there are no atheists when i asked about how the soviet time was the party among officers and soldiers. how about a religious factor? the response was such in the trenches, especially at the forefront , especially knowing that in a few minutes once again behind the team to attack at that moment the atheists. it could not be every cop, as it were , god faces eternity, and this is the inner deep faith of our people that helped even then in the difficult years of the war. she is able to help us even today in difficult circumstances of life. i would like to wish all of you from the bottom of my heart. of course, the strength of the fortress of health. take care of your health, because

purely climatic circumstances are quite difficult for north, but most importantly, keep faith and love for the fatherland, which are the two wings on which a person flies. and if at least one of these wings is knocked out or does not work well, then the other wing will not have the strength to lift up a person, his personality, his conscience, his love for the fatherland. may the lord keep this land so rich. prosperous and at the same time so difficult to live here and develop those riches and treasures that god gave in our land through these northern ones. wonderful in memory of my stay in

norilsk, i would like to transfer the expanses and edges to this holy temple. here is this wonderful image of christ the savior as a blessing of the patriarch to all parishioners, of course to the clergy, but also to all our northern territory, the authorities of the army, to all workers. may the lord keep all the holy place the temple of the whole and at the same time. may the lord protect everyone who works. here in norilsk we are strengthening our economic power. yes, and the military through the economy is always and military power is strengthened by our fatherland. i would like to express my gratitude. vladimir olegovich potanin for his work had the opportunity to verify the effectiveness of your work by visiting those objects that we were introduced to yesterday and i would also like to bless you for this very

important service to the fatherland in this northern territory and i would like to bless the images of alexander nevsky my patron himself i am from st. petersburg. as you know, before the image of alexander nevsky i felt his help. may the lord keep you and your family and friends and strengthen you on your path. service of the fatherland help you simply. well, to all those who were present today in the temple. i would like to pass on such a small icon of christ the savior. on the reverse side of this icon, the patriarchal blessing and would ask the clergy to distribute it to everyone at once so that people with this patriarchal blessing can go home. happy holiday to you. thank you. congratulations. god bless you and spiritual bodily and physically
