, this is our weekly interview on the russia 24 channel, where we talk about current secular news with representatives of the church. today, my guest is the chairman of the patriarchal council for culture, the metropolitan. pskov and porkhov vladyka tikhon hello hello i am very glad that you found time for this interview, when i called you and arranged this meeting, i asked you a question. where would you like to start the conversation and you said, let's start with our common misfortune, i mean events. well, ukraine as you might guess, but still i would like to clarify, here is for you in your understanding. this is a common misfortune for some for orthodox russians and ukrainians for orthodox and secular people in ukraine perhaps this is a common european misfortune. maybe even common world. well, i would not like to go so far, but it is obvious that a personal misfortune, yes, this is for russia and

for ukraine and for people who live in these and other countries in separate countries. here we are now doing an exhibition exposition of ukraine at the turn of the era in the manizh. now it's coming. we made it in 3 weeks. why because another exposition about russia, about its beauties and so on, was supposed to be, we did not do it , but i will answer for these exhibitions on november 4, i am responsible. and when we saw here are all of ours. unspeakable expanses fields seas oceans forests realized that it is absolutely not necessary to show this now, it is necessary to talk about that. what do we wake up with? what do we have in our heads in our

hearts all day long? and what do we sleep with? this is ukraine, that we are experiencing an unprecedented tragedy, that this is some absolutely fundamental and fateful stage in the life of our people. how it all ends, let us pray that naturally everything ends happily and peacefully. everyone is calling for peace now and this is indeed the need of the human soul, what else do we want to know in the scripture one of the prophets says they pronounce peace peace, i try to console, but there is no peace. it's still in the old.

the covenant is written there is peace, which is inevitably fraught with misfortune, future misfortunes, sorrows, tears. we need peace according to the will of god. resolve this issue. fights between brothers do not want to be called brothers. we understand that they are brothers, and once they were called recently called. here the person cannot resolve. i am deeply convinced of this. well, how is it possible after all this to resolve everything? only the lord god can manage this. i have no doubts about this and the most important thing for us christians. now it is necessary - this is a special sincere prayer. only god can.

unite it would seem no longer to unite the hatred to die, which, unfortunately, is now pouring out in such a way. in 1877, the russian-turkish war began. remember, this is helluva lot of shit here, these famous famous fights. and here is what he writes. an amazing saint. he was the most educated man of his time. a polyglot. in addition, he was really a truly holy life. he was a translator and linguist. and here he is because then it was necessary to intercede for the slavic empire. uh, serbs and so on. our

brothers in faith, and now he writes with bitterness and amazing words. this is also 1877. whether you like it or not , go to war, mother orthodox russia, even if it will be unsuccessful, if it pleases god to shame us, but we are before our conscience and before history. we will be justified justified that we did our job to 100 should be the opposite. if we don’t deliver anything lasting to the brothers, we won’t intercede for these ones, and there, thousands of them, tens of thousands destroyed and will not fight, we will be ashamed before ourselves and before others and before history, and in the next world shame will haunt us and shame will fall. russia without war is lower than how the

failure of the war will humiliate her. what is there to be a coward among the turks? of course there will be many englishmen, hungarians, poles and other freaks. well, i'm quoting. in his heart he writes so for himself, but still this is not an army, what, but only a help, surely england will openly become a turk. and surely austria will stick to it, we will beat anything. they have england now only up to turkish to chop up the territory, but after the inevitable war with her, in order to humble her and discourage her reluctance to interfere in the sieve, and stick like a bath leaf, you can hear that in st. petersburg and you in moscow there are many people who do not favor war, and even to our very intercession it must be some kind of degenerates for i do not see and do not hear that somewhere there was some kind of hesitation among the people and among all the provincials. there are people here with higher

views, but all this has passed and the people write st. theophan the recluse when the question arises about intercession, like it or not, you see, - he says - he is for whom, according to conscience, it is necessary to intercede, how much we put then the life of russians, well, we won freedom, bulgaria became independent. in the next war, right after a few years, she fought against russia, not to mention the fact that, uh, the first world war, the second world war. she also fought against russia, but to wait for gratitude, this is the most vulgar thing that can be, you know, there is nothing more humiliating, when you see a boss who is waiting for gratitude from

his subordinates or a person has done that he is kind, who is counting on gratitude, this is humiliatingly ridiculous and vulgar, you can agree and disagree with st. theophanes completely calm. there are different opinions. i just brought here the reflections of a very wise person in about the same situation. well, we catch all the parallels that we can find today, but here another question is still here. and my student, who was very fond of a modest man, died in the ukraine. pavel petrushenko, he fought on the side of the apu. after graduating from our seminary, sretensky seminary. he went to your homeland in ukraine, went to the store and was mobilized along the way. they didn't even let me

go home. and it seems that he died under the raisins and now our guys, whom i may have known a little bit from pskov, also drink them and now my priest. father alexander tsyganov absolutely recently we buried mikhail vasiliev became a hero of russia was a pskov priest father alexander tsyganov and so we found him with great difficulty, when they found out that he was all wounded, whether he was alive or not. here he was sent to the sevastopol hospital. he has multiple wounds, wounds of the lung stomach

of the intestine, all legs are barred, a huge loss of blood, the fourth operation. now, it probably will. how inexpensive these are, i always remember the poem by maximilian voloshin and i stand, between more than one in a roaring flame and smoke, and with all my might pray for those and for others, this was written in 1919. but how relevant now and you know we need, of course, we understand all the reasons that we are presented with both our official authorities and what we see in uh other very big things.

and there were people from donetsk, and i asked one of them, how do you explain to people, that's all the reasons for this battle on our part. he looked at me like i was an idiot. there is no need to explain about ours, they understand everything. you have to explain this here, and we understand. and we, who are 8 years old, lived there, we don’t need to explain this to anyone. i understand. vladyka this week there was a withdrawal of russian troops from kherson, of course, opposition media the ukrainian side says that this is a total defeat. our generals there, the head of chechnya, ramzan kadyrov, say that, of course, this is a strategic victory to save our people, soldiers,

to regroup troops. this is the wisest thing you can do in this situation. ah, it’s obvious that when it ends, they will talk about its results in exactly the same way. this is what victory in a special military operation and defeat in a special operation will mean for you personally. victory in a special military operation will be very bitter. very bitter because russian people died from both sides. i take any russian victory. in general, yes, chechen buryats, ukrainians hutsuls, and so on, it does not matter. this internecine strife in one of the prayers of the church, as one of the most terrible trials, the church prays to god to avoid internecine strife. this is the brain. how

is the youth now, you understand? we see that the time has come for this, and the time has come to show many reasons and tell the forces. people when they ask me, for example, i say, well, it's hard for me it is difficult to understand the reason, but i can only say for myself. i know a little about catching vladimirovich putin it happened. it is a great honor for me, i can say that you know, like doctors, there are vital

indications for surgery. now, if there were no vital indications for russia for this operation, he would not have started it. this is the deepest life for me. for all that, to understand everything, all the pitfalls , all the reasons, well, now it's it's simply impossible. since you are talking about the figure of the president, he is very fond of journalists, especially the opposition is trying to find in history among his predecessors who vladimir putin is most similar to in terms of the style of government. so it seems to me that this question would be for you at the address of your leadership style. who is putin more like? to no one, but partly by fate, partly by determination, partly by

defeats and victories, partly by the situation in which he most likely received russia, you still understand. uh, but again, i wouldn't spend. here are some simple analogies another thing is that this unfortunate tragic military operation, which i will even repeat once again. you, what they write st. theophan for a year from the janitor, whether you like it or not, but join the fight, mother russia is orthodox. as you wish you don't want, well, who among normal people wants to fight nobody for everyone, of course, the highest value is peace, but we have always had the beginning of all warriors. god be with the french. and what was interesting was that we fought all

the way to moscow. yes, in 812 they handed over to moscow and burned it, then the year began there. left the vast lands of the russian empire only when kiev was under attack were already almost preparing for the surrender of kiev when the grand duke nikolai nikolaevich was commander in chief, then only emperor nicholas ii became commander in chief took full power and into the army into his own hands, stopped the offensive and i must say, here he is scolded by the mediocre commander-in-chief, why did she make jokes jokes, and from the moment when nicholas ii became the commander-in-chief, we have not given even a centimeter of russian land. just coming, yeah there were positional battles, but they were only advancing, and it was nicholas ii who was the only one who supported

brusilov’s project on the retreat of the hungarian troops on the auto contradiction. uh, the main headquarters of alexei and everything worked out. we have broken this year. the russian army was certainly a potential winner in the fall, the latest in winter what? inscribed in their memoirs, e and german and austrian commanders. we very often. uh, so let's start uh wars. well, this is what we have, unfortunately, we are so lazy, we have such unprofessionalism, dilettantism, to unfortunately, well, too, we see it, and then everything is focused, but all these are the right words. the biggest horror and our biggest

guilt is that we brought the situation to this point. that we are at war with the ukrainians with the people of our people with people with whom we have a huge number of blood friendships of any kind, how we didn’t watch it, how we allowed both external forces and internal forces in ukraine, and we know that there were quite a lot of such forces who strove for confrontation, strove for this war as we admitted it was a terrible dream. the number of our ukraine has actually come true, it’s terrible, i also recalled on this occasion the book of scripture, dostoevsky’s amazing favorite book , the book of ioa, in which there are such words ioa, when

the worst thing happens to him, the children die everything that he lived, and he pronounces , the terrible thing that my soul was terrified of found on me. that's how we were horrified. rumor that someone is preparing someone gradual, so to speak plans. the battle of confrontation between russia and ukraine, we immediately the answer was discarded. yes, this horror is unimaginable. and behold, the terrible thing that horrified the soul. our found on us before the interview. i was reviewing some episodes of your documentary series the fall of the empire russian lesson. uh, anyone who's interested can look it up on the internet. and correct me if i 'm wrong, in my opinion, this documentary series already has 50 million views, yes, that is, it

certainly means the box office internet. it can be said that we received nothing. and you dedicate this series. in general, the story about what internal processes and internal forces were behind the events in february of the seventeenth year due to the subsequent revolution. ah, the series came out a year ago, in general, long before the events of the spring of 22, and now looking back at the content of these series, you would change something, how relevant it is, you know, i made two films about telling about how they destroy, the empire, the empire is not an imperialist entity. here i must emphasize empire imperialism - these are different things. empire by definition. this is a single area united by one language by one economy.

the different peoples that make up this empire are usually the indigenous peoples who live here yes and sometimes one ideology or one main religion or a multi-religious country. this is what an empire is. and russia naturally is and it should be an empire. she should not be, by definition, not because she wants it or does not want it, she is an empire. that's how we, uh, happened to be born in the empire, as one poet said. yes, but the empire has some things in common. moments not only genesis, but also general diseases, and it is extremely interesting to study these diseases. this is how each person has his own history of illness and history, the

illnesses of the parents of the ancestors and so on and now . well, yes, let's say she is with us and she is with us, uh, genetically she is with our ancestors and now study this and see. and what diseases did our country and similar countries have before, and how did these diseases end, how did they try to treat these diseases, what came of it? what became incurable? here i made two films doom empires in the byzantine lesson. it's more popular and uh, the second effect of the empire is a russian lesson, it's big in it 18 short episodes, then we made it already, but still almost two episodes, well, four hours of complexity and what

were the main prerequisites for its weakening and very responsible, because the war. on the road, this is one of the problems. and here are the harbingers. and one of the catalysts, the nightmarish destructive revolution is one of the catalysts, the suicide of the people is not lucky here, absolutely everyone will lose. god forbid that before this, of course, will not come. and i think that those who are plotting some kind of things with us will not be brought to this and will be stopped. coups and unrest, or simply does not understand anything. either such a

cruel person that he has someone else's life polushka yes, and his own galushka a penny. this is an almost exact quote from alexander sergeevich pushkin of our own writer. you pay a lot of attention in the series to the traitors of nicholas ii who were in his inner circle, to whom he trusted the most secret traitors. eat i know it shows life. you know, i would not draw an analogy , after all, nikolai alexandrovich, with all my love and reverence for him and the current situation and the current ruler of russia, this is all the same. uh, completely different people, completely different people, but that's what
