and the submission of spiritual life and the requirements of globalism in approval, including the blessing of vices, so our colleagues in the west, including those who call themselves christians, are on their way. some representatives of christian churches and communities take this step in order to avoid criticism in order to become their own, in quotation marks, of course, in a global secularized secularized world. however, this conciliatory path does not save the spiritual life of this folder, but accelerates this process. and of course it doesn't save. these religious organizations they will be swept away as soon as there is force more among those who associate the globalist project with the absence of any religiosity. the second path of public life can be called narrow, that is, difficult termist, it requires an open

witness to the truth, despite the pressure of a negative reaction from external forces, including globalists. dear participants of the council, today the issues of ethical choice have acquired a special sound in the world; they determine both the vector of the movement of a particular person and the fate of entire countries and peoples. and from how firmly you and i will stand in the truth, how faithful we will be and are faithful. we will be faithful to the precepts of our fathers, those with enduring spiritual moral values, which we have received, including through the church tradition. this will largely depend on this. undoubtedly the future of our country is the people, but in global terms, i

think the future of human civilization. because even the victory over globalism in a single country will not be significant for the whole world, although it will be important. in other words our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the measure of the spirits of wickedness in high places who hold you this beck, as the apostle said about it. and today these words are taking on a very visible expression and everyone can understand. about what is at stake, and with understanding , the possibility of resistance opens up. and here is our resistance to all these destructive tendencies. this growth in our faith is loyalty to our traditions. this is love for the fatherland,

concern for its spiritual and material well-being. and as long as our fatherland will be this island of freedom the rest of the world will also have some sign of hope for the opportunity to change the course of history and prevent a global apocalyptic end. at the very least, this is to move it into that perspective, with which none of us connects, neither our lives, nor the lives of our closest descendants, and may the lord help us about all this. patriarch and now it is being provided for the announcement of the greetings of the president of russia vladimir vladimirovich putin to the first deputy

head of the presidential administration sergei vladilenovich kiriyenko and we will ask sergei vladilenovich immediately after you make your own speech. thank you your holiness dear friends. allow me to announce the greeting of the president of the russian federation to the participants of the 24th world russian people's council, i welcome you to the world russian people's council today, when we are faced with serious challenges, the issues of consolidating our people around the important large-scale tasks of strengthening spiritual cultural economic sovereignty acquire a special fateful significance. in this regard, i note that a huge colossal contribution that the preservation of spiritual and moral family ideals and values ​​makes to the unity of society, the preservation of our

historical memory and identity, the upbringing of youth. the russian orthodox church is the representatives of all the traditional religions of russia and , of course, patriotic organizations. such as the world russian people's council, i know that many of you support our soldiers, participate in special military operations, provide disinterested assistance to the residents of donbass, kherson and zaporozhye regions, they prove by deed that only united by common goals. the people are capable of adequately responding to unprecedented external pressure to achieve all the strategic goals set, i am sure that your forum will be held in an atmosphere of mutual understanding, and the proposals and initiatives put forward by you. in the development of education demography, the savings of our people will definitely be in demand. i wish you

fruitful work and all the best president of the russian federation vladimir vladimirovich putin your holiness dear guests and participants of the forum, brothers and sisters. let me also join the words of the president and say your holiness. you just said that the 24th forum is already taking place and it seemed quite recently. uh, for the first time a russian people's cathedral was going to. but this is the twenty-fourth cathedral. it is radically different from everything that happened before, simply because the time has changed completely, we understand that this is a different time. we understand that a real war is going on against russia today, and not only a military

confrontation of the entire nato bloc, but also an unprecedented economic war. quantity there have never been sanctions in history against any country in the world. an unprecedented information and psychological war is going on, and the purpose of this war, of course, is the destruction of the sovereignty of identity in the ideal of the dismemberment of the country, and we must understand that these changes have occurred. and you can't just wait. and you can’t just sit on the sidelines and wait until everything goes back to normal. it doesn't normalize on its own. this is a confrontation. what did our president vladimir vladimirovich putin say when he signed an agreement on joining the regions of donbass and new russia into the russian federation that this is a civilizational confrontation, a. this is

a confrontation with the aim of trying to deprive the very foundation of tradition and national identity. it is very good. we saw on the examples of the regions of donbass these are the regions in which people had to make their choice 8 years ago, and everything that they achieved. they defended their right to be russian. they defended their right to have their children go to school in russian, to read russian books. respect kept traditions and culture, and for this they began to be killed. shoot drop bombs on schools, kindergartens and hospitals. this is a matter of choice that cannot be evaded and, of course, the goal of such a war, how can they win only if they

split and dismember, if a person living in the urals really believes that defending their right by the inhabitants of donbass is some kind of their a problem that does not concern those living in the urals or living in the far east of russia is some kind of problem there. i can live my usual life here. well, it somehow does not me affect, affect. no, there is no other option. and we must understand for sure that none of us can have any doubts that today there is nikolaevsky cree on artyomovsky on krasno-limansky. in the direction or in the kherson region on the battlefield there is a battle for all russian people there is a battle for our fatherland for our russian world for the very russian world that historically became the homeland for people of hundreds of nationalities the world that saved their

native languages ​​absorbed increased their culture, that the very world that taught us to live in in good neighborliness and unity, jointly rejoice in victories and jointly meet trouble, and now people with russian tatar lak chechen buryat tuvan ukrainian chuvash and many other surnames are fighting side by side for the right to live in this one world, and on the front line, e, the prayers of orthodox muslims, buddhist jews , are heard but these prayers. for russia, these are prayers for our united motherland, these are prayers for our united, er, victory and such a confrontation and such a struggle. it takes place not only in the e special military operation. not only on the front lines

, not only on the front lines. it happens everywhere. it runs throughout our lives. and this is a challenge that is for each of us, this is a choice that everyone must make because of their contribution to the victory in this confrontation. can, and therefore should be done by everyone. yes, the possibilities and methods are different. uh, the greatest feat is the feat of the guys who are with weapons in their hands. today they are heroically defending our homeland and our future. this is a feat of doctors, including a large number orthodox doctors who are saving lives today in hospitals under shelling. this help is a feat of volunteers and workers of humanitarian centers, who from the first day, practically together with the armed forces, worked on the front line, providing assistance to those in need only along the line.

the russian orthodox church collected more than 2.5 thousand tons of humanitarian aid and targeted assistance received by more than 300,000 of our compatriots. i want to say a big thank you for this, but right now there are 14 humanitarian centers in the donbass and novorossiya in parishes of the russian orthodox church, in which every day. including more than 3,000 people today, they receive hot meals, pumps, receive humanitarian assistance, receive support not only material, but also spiritual, which in these conditions is sometimes even more important, and such a task is to ensure a consolidated response of the russian society of ownership and solidarity. this is probably the most important thing of participation and solidarity, and

every person without exception has the opportunity to do this. someone can provide a fundraiser for support servicemen and to help the families of participants in a special military operation, someone can help send warm clothes, someone can help refugees in humanitarian centers or temporary accommodation, especially now, when a large number of e.g. residents of the kherson region, especially from the right bank, who really need this help and support. and someone can help, uh, it is enough for the families of military personnel to sit with their children somewhere. u somewhere provide psychological assistance. uh, somewhere to help with uh, some household tasks. so far, the guys at the front themselves cannot do

it somewhere simply send a letter to a soldier or congratulate his parents and relatives in time. happy birthday to people from e, it is no coincidence that today one of the most massive public organizations of the movement is the movement we are together, which has taken on a very important mission and in it the most active participation. well, orthodox religious organizations of traditional russian confessions, and throughout our country, because if we respond to an attempt to split and dismemberment with such solidarity and complicity, then this is necessary not only for those people who will receive this help. the most important thing is that this is the meaninglessness of the goals of our enemies, if russia cannot be split from the inside and it can never be defeated, and the russian world russian people's council is probably the best example of such a civil one.
