glory forever. independence day, plus the third year of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation. and if at the beginning of the invasion there was a tendency for people to run to god, these are understandable, understandable things. many people came, someone converted, came with prayers, came with requests. there is a trend now that somewhere people may not come as often, or pray less, or maybe someone is losing hope, and are there any, do you see something like that, if we talk about your church, or maybe in other churches, having, having communication with your brothers and sisters in the faith, and how to explain it, or how to keep people that patience and hope that should be present for such a difficult situation that exists today. well, we are like pastors keeping our finger on the pulse of our people,

really, or another comparison, we listen carefully to the heartbeat of our people, and i can say that indeed the beginning of this full-scale invasion was a great shock for everyone, we all changed radically, although the war. it has been more than 10 years already, but perhaps this calamity touched every ukrainian, every citizen of ukraine so personally, only with that full-scale invasion, and i do not observe any, shall we say, hardening or, on the contrary, distancing people from from the theme of the eternal or from god, on the contrary, we see... a colossal conversion, many,

say, from other fields of human knowledge, doctors, psychologists, noted that when the war began, all human relationships were zeroed out, the relationship of man to himself, to her personal life, relationships between people, even relationships with the closest people. attitude to the state, to the church, all this is in a state of rethinking, including when a person is looking for god, or has already had a certain spiritual, religious experience, the war intensified a person's search for meaning, a person asks himself, why did it happen to me? "god, where are you when we are killed, how to choose the right

path, landmarks during such great disorientation, and all this, let's say, pushes a person to look for these, these answers to such very difficult questions, and we all understand that none a person cannot answer these questions. the answer can only be given by the one in whose hands lies the fate of man and the whole world, and a person, even a non-believer, is looking for those eternal values ​​without which his life has no meaning, and it is obvious that reevaluating all his spiritual, moral orientations, her person in one way or another approaches. to god and to the church, i want to tell you that we have experience that certain of our

parishes, in particular in central, eastern, southern ukraine, have changed by 100%, there are such communities where 100% of people were evacuated, but new ones came, this year, for example, all our simple pilgrimages. that we had, we could not conduct them in an organized manner because we live under martial law, but they were all very crowded. people seek, people, people are thirsty for god, and that christian community, which feeds people with real spiritual food, it is very popular today. therefore, i can say that the ukrainian people today, in a state of war, are experiencing some kind of special

spiritual conversion, that thirst for god, especially. is acute, and all our churches are full, and there is not a single priest who feels unemployed, we all really work, well, at the limit of our strength and capabilities, but we serve the lord god and our ukrainian people with great joy, so that the christian sense , at least in in the evangelical sense, what is the freedom that christ gives, christians understand, independence, spiritual freedom, as where the spirit of the lord is, there is freedom, jesus said that i give you freedom, see that, well, and there further, the truth, that your freedom was not a reason for reaching your flesh, but the essence of that freedom, that independence, which is celebrated by

the ukrainian state, is political, cultural, spiritual, how would you characterize it? we are independent of what, and how, as they say, this independence relays us, how to explain it, well, let me use it on this occasion to congratulate all our listeners on the independence day of ukraine, this day is today a personal holiday, i think of every ukrainian, of every ukrainian family, because we feel that whether we will have a free... cathedral, independent our life directly depends on the state, the issue of our independence, our freedom, it is a matter of life and death of the entire nation, that is why this is a personal holiday, i remember how when only we got this independence, er, in

the 91st year , er, in all our temples spontaneously august 24, it was a spiritual, almost religious holiday. i remember how in those first years of independence, that day people put everything aside, and the first thing they did that day was go to church to pray. it was some kind of very, well, spontaneous, uh, movement, this independence primarily had a spiritual meaning. and there are several dimensions here. in this spiritual meaning of our state independence. first, we all understood that ukraine's independence is a gift from god. we then saw how in the dawn, uh, let's say it like this, uh, when this independence just, just, just here showed itself like the sun, which

is emerging from the horizon, the ukrainian greek-catholic church came out of the underground, which... became, as it were, this stone that hit those clay feet of that soviet colossus, it simply crumbled. we understood that independence, our state, is a gift from god, a gift, as god's answer to these centuries-old struggles of our people, which we call today national liberation, the crown of these struggles... this was the martyrdom of the ukrainian greek catholic church, in particular for the times of the communist regime, so the people thanked, but this gift had to be kept, we all saw that this state, which was born after the collapse of the soviet union,

is still a post-soviet state, that freedom is a very... significant concept, it has not only some legal or political meaning, but not the first moral one. in christian philosophy and theology, we have always been used to talking about freedom in this double sense: freedom from and freedom for, that is, speaking of our national freedom. this is how we talk about the independence of the beginning, this is freedom from, from enslavement, freedom from those neo-colonial encroachments of moscow that... uh today especially manifested all its bloodlust during this full-scale e-e invasion, but it is also freedom for. this

freedom still needs to be properly used. we, as christians, have been convinced many times that freedom is the ability, the opportunity to do good. i... if we use this opportunity, the opportunity to choose good for evil, then we can easily lose this gift of freedom, so, let's put it this way, this period, which we call the young, independent ukrainian state of the 90s, a path has opened before us transition to from of post-soviet ukraine. to a truly democratic state, and this period was very difficult, marked by several revolutions, when

the people did not want to lose their independence, but took responsibility for their freedom. true freedom is always associated with responsibility. and here it seemed that we all really... want to use the fruits of that independence, but not everyone is ready to take responsibility for it, and here i think that the role of the church and churches in the process of transformation of ukraine is very important. in particular, our church immediately began to engage in education his people, education to dignity and freedom. to the responsibility for my state, i recall the words of my predecessor, blessed lubomyr, in the first days

of the orange revolution, because some in power said: "here the crowd has come to the squares." rnish lubomyr said: "no, it's not a hoax, it's responsible citizens who not only did their free and fair duty." democratic choice, when they come to vote, these are citizens who are ready to defend their vote, and i remember his speech on the second maidan of dignity, and when, when did this event happen, which we will call the revolution of dignity, well, this responsibility for dignity, it manifested itself at an even higher level than in those times. the orange revolution. it is obvious that to educate citizens to realize their dignity. this is already a revolution. therefore, this process of transformation

of ukraine from a post-soviet state to a free democratic state is the construction of a society that is not only free from, but free for, this process. still going on, i think that, uh, the war that we're going through today, that's another stage, of that process, but i such a feeling that all those previous years of the construction of independent ukraine were only preparation for the exam, the real exam, unfortunately, this terrible... war became, and watching how my people pass this exam today, well, we all thank god for the fact that today, even in

the context of this tragedy, our people are creating a political nation of a new type, and our independence is being evaluated in a new way today not only. a ukrainian, not only ukrainian society, but also the world community. how do you explain, well, now about the explanation. first of all, during these more than 30 years, the moscow church exerted a huge influence on the minds of ukrainians, i will generally call it the moscow church, because their patriarchs were commemorated there, first alexy was there, then cyril. they exerted political influence, they exerted financial influence. influence, they raised oligarchs, they raised politicians, they campaigned for certain politicians simply in their churches, and mm, for a long time it was all perceived as well... it is the choice of the people,

we have such and such a church, ukrainian, there is a conditional orthodox church of moskovsky patriarchy, and even a full-scale invasion of a thousand killed ukrainians, killed priests, by the way, the blessing of the moscow church, the weapons with which ukrainians were killed, all this did not immediately give a decision to ban this church in ukraine, why could it not take so long for all this to develop, why could not... simply put a full stop, and besides, in your opinion, people who will get rid of or get rid of this moscow word will be tormented for a long time, as they say, by its absence, or they, if they want god, they will come to you, to epiphany, to other clergymen, and they will listen to the word of god, everything will be fine, well, you see, the spiritual enslavement of ukraine.

it started immediately after the russian empire began to colonize the territory of ukraine step by step, starting from the 17th century. the history of our church here is a vivid example: uh, step by step, as soon as russia, the russian empire annexed new ukrainian lands, it... began to destroy our church, and the final destruction of our church in the then russian borders happened in 1839 year, and it is obvious that then russia tried to russify this territory, and with the help of various symbols, even monuments,

everything was used... that was possible in order to approve this, you know, this, well, simply murderous ideology, orthodoxy , autocracies, nationalities, and even then, the russian imperial authorities saw the church as an instrument of enslavement, and i am very sorry to say this, as a person who represents the church, it was such and... he said, shameless instrumentalization of the church in the name of imperial interests, and then, obviously, that church which even lost the right to have its patriarch, it turned into a department of the state machine. metropolitan andrey sheptytskyi called it the orthodox orthodox church. it was obvious that there was a minimum of spirituality and religion, and a maximum of

faithfully presented. why such a state control over the conscience of millions of people. for example, when this autocracy fell, during the february revolution of 17th year, i recall this statistic, when for the first time during the first world war, russian soldiers at the front did not have duty. go to confession, to at that time, everyone had to go to confession and receive a certificate of beneficence from the father, ugh, and here for the first time there is no king and there is no longer such a duty. actually, then in the 17th year before easter in the russian army, only a couple of percent of the soldiers went to confession, and this caused a huge collapse

of the opportunities of this church at that time. wanted to control people's consciences, and then everything went down, that is, with the speed of a snowball, which simply washed away this church, then already in the bolshevik revolution. unfortunately, all those consequences were fully felt ukrainians in particular, when stalin revived the tool of manipulating the religious feelings of believers. in the soviet union , reviving the russian orthodox church, that is, in fact , concluding a cooperation agreement with it, essentially subverting it, then it became a tool not of the tsarist, but of the communist regime. father with communist awards, and then a bishop.
