and you, if we talk about the life of the society of the state, so that positive changes take place in the life of both society and the state, so that the people become more consolidated, if we are talking about difficulties associated with dangers from the outside , so that people really consolidate, so that they appreciate more what they have, so that there is a desire to protect what they have, well , to improve their personal social life, therefore, difficulties are given to us, perhaps in order for us to become stronger and better. it all depends on what thoughts. with what aims of positing do we meet these difficulties and struggle with them? to meet my difficulties for a ribbon, as we say, to the front line, but a huge number of military priests left. they are there now and many of them have died. here is one of my mikhail

vasiliev, a protepriest. he was awarded the title of hero of russia vash. what do you think, how important is the presence of priests of the russian orthodox church in general today and maybe a friend on other broadcasts, confessions are also on the front line there. the priest has no right to take weapon. he cannot even defend himself during hostilities. that is, the presence of a priest in the armed forces during hostilities - this is a huge risk. if we take the pre-revolutionary practice, then the regimental priest with a cross in his hands. the attack started with the first ones who went out for a cop. and went towards the enemy. and most often priests died, because this is a desired target for the enemy. today our priests are also raising their spirits. and strengthen the faith of our soldiers

in the war zone, but of course, i would i also wanted to say very much, how would it humanize this difficult, very negatively radical sphere of human existence, a priest in the army. this is the one who can listen to help advice to pray together , the one who does a lot of work with relatives, because most often wives. there, mothers and children turn, including to the clergy for support. eh, because after all , people have great feelings for their loved ones, for those who can lay down their lives, so i want to say again and again that the priest does not take a weapon in his hand. he continues to be a longed-for and easy target, and we know that we followed father

mikhail vasilyev and this blow was dealt precisely in order to destroy him. and every priest who is in the war zone is aware that he is an easy target and at the same time no one leaves from there. as long as the hierarchy does not recall , they remain faithful to their priestly oath and loyalty to their pastoral duty. i really appreciate the hard work of our clergy in any extreme situation. but especially there where the presence of a priest is of great importance for the spiritual state of people, and first of all, of course, we are talking about military personnel in this case. recently , the president of the russian federation approved a number of proposals, which, by the way, the russian orthodox church has been advocating for a long time. i mean, those bills that concern the protection of our traditional

spiritual values ​​and the prohibition of propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia. here, how do you think from the moment somehow these laws will begin to operate. how much will it help further moral improvement of our society. it is difficult to say, because, in fact, morality is a very inner human dimension. and this is how external laws can affect the internal state of a person. this is a big question. it seems to me that , of course, the spiritual factor, the upbringing of culture, primarily influences the internal state of a person, but why these laws are needed, the state determines its attitude to these phenomena, they cease to exist. eh, what is called a certain norm, that is, what they appear in other societies, the state

does not repress people, but it declares its moral position. and this is extremely important, and the fact that today russia is a russian state, the russian government has taken this position, this indicates that moral issues. questions of the spiritual life of people are not indifferent to the modern russian authorities. well, and therefore, of course, all the forces of evil rush. in this case, not only the church of the priests, but the representatives of the authorities, but i think that together we will cope with this problem. one of our high-ranking officials, a recently said i will quote. and what many in russia used to say and believed in the possibility of implementing charles de gaulle's covenant with the europeans on building a common space from lisbon to vladivostok. now it's becoming clear to all of us that this project failed. and you, when you spoke in the

federation council, said that russia is not the most isolated, that it does not close the very window that once peter cut open to europe but this window remains open only for mutually respectful dialogue, they and ideological dictate. tell me, your hierarchy, what awaits now in relations with europe does it mean that we no longer have a common basis in form, but common christian values. after all, they simply ignore this, to put it mildly, of course, this is a problem for europe because we preserve these christian values. and even, hmm, in our multi-religious society, where a large percentage of muslims, these values ​​are preserved, because they are refracted, including muslim teachings, and god, about man, so everything is saved for us. well, if somewhere it disappears, so much the worse for those from

life, whom all this disappears. what does it mean to lose the moral scale of values, here is an assessment of values ​​from the point of view of morality, so it’s better to say it means to lose the landmarks and lose the spiritual guidelines in life. but if the landmarks are lost, where the man is going, there are no internal guidelines. he doesn't own this compass. he is lost, destroyed, he goes where he is directed. and who directs the forces that operate in society, these forces always strive for the good by no means, and that means a person becomes very manipulated. he is very weak he is really losing his freedom. and where can all this lead if evil grows in human relations, here we have an apocalyptic prospect before us, what is the age

of apocalypse, the disappearance of good from people’s lives, will i find faith in people, says the lord this is the complete disappearance of good, e moral criteria. this is the disappearance of that landmark of the destruction of that landmark that helped humanity ascend from strength to syria helps every person and still ascend from the strength of strength, if all these landmarks are not destroyed in other words. if this continues, then society is in danger of self-destruction, and from the point of view of the christian apocalypse, no. no special news here. all this is written in the apocalypse. what is the end of the world apocalypse, how can the end of the world happen? under what conditions then when good disappears, because

evil is not life, the apogee of evil is death, destruction, and if evil wins on a global scale, then mankind has completely spent every potential for life. this is the end of the world. it won't come from somewhere up there or down there. it will come from the person himself and from human society, therefore our struggle is for moral principles. our struggle for the preservation of the faith is a struggle for the future of all mankind for the life of the world. a little is not enough. we are fighting for the life of the world. we are fighting to ensure that human civilization remains capable of life. and as long as this is work. and this faith will be saved will be saved

and hope for the future, and in this sense, of course, our country has a very special role, because today russia is really becoming a spiritually strong community, and the more negative pressure is exerted on us, the stronger we become. i feel it like pastas and i meet people of different positions of different ranks. these difficulties do not weaken us. and so, if i want to emphasize once again, let's save everything that we have, let's save ourselves and our fatherland. well, they somehow do not want to save themselves. apparently. moreover, there is a real substitution of the concept of good and evil. here's an example that is absolutely kind. recently, as you probably know, they announced the idea that primary school children are on their own. maybe they can determine their gender, that is, change it. responsible precisely means some hormones that will then kill

the very possibility of having children in the future for these people. tell me, what do you think, is this a generally reversible trend, or are they becoming like this once and for all when it goes trampling. uh, all that's holy when there's rejection. e the very ideas of biblical ideas about man. in general, a reversible process with them will be better than now reversible itself, that is, based on the level into which this society has now plunged, where all these horrors, about which we are talking, are becoming the norm of life. it is difficult to imagine how society itself . can get out of this crisis. only if something happens. and this is in the hands of god , it can be cataclysms. any cataclysms that shake the human mind when people are looking for a way out of a situation where the lack of a way out means death. here, in the

face of such cataclysms, a person can change his thinking and can recall that system of values ​​that came to us from above and working in which a person can only remain a person, and human society can exist. therefore, this is the only way, but to rely on the fact that through some kind of evolution from evil they will come to good, this is a beautiful-hearted and very far from reality attitude towards the future. either really the most difficult conditions of life that will make a person think about a lot, as happened during the great patriotic war in our country, the conversion from atheism to the faith and in general, how strong the country turned out not only militarily in moral terms, how strong we all came out here either so well,

either means those who live in this terrible paradigm, where sin is mixed with virtue, and where the distinction between sin and virtue is generally lost. here, well then this system will lead, of course, to the saddest end. last year we became witnesses of unprecedented pressure on the orthodox church in ukraine in general, everything that happens to the church in ukraine in society happened, probably, only in the middle of the last century and now and now, who would have thought that priests are sometimes threatened by health and life, but on in our eyes there is an encroachment on the shrine. and what will happen next in general with orthodoxy in ukraine do you think orthodoxy will be preserved? but in order to

preserve orthodoxy. it is necessary to make sacrifices in these conditions. and it's not a willing sacrifice offering. and this is just the reaction of orthodox people to the challenge before him. either save the faith, or abandon it, and all those who will keep the faith, piety, fidelity to the canonical church. they certainly take the path of confession. they have already embarked on this path, because such a nasty persecution of the church and so on has really been unleashed in the center of europe. i really believe in the strength of the spirit of the orthodox ukrainian people. people are very strong in their faith. uh, courageous very emotional god forbid that all these very best qualities

the ukrainian people helped the ukrainian country to overcome that deep spiritual crisis in which the country found itself; this is not only a political crisis, but it is a spiritual crisis. and all these calls, it means, to democratize and westernize the country. of course, they turn the head of those who, e, all these calls are connected with the improvement of the material life of people. here they live in the west, the rich are good. now, if we follow this path , you, we will live well, but after all, on the same path, as we know, the issue of sex change is also on the agenda. critical attitude towards religion and many, many things that today accompanies the christianization of western society, so i don’t presume to judge how right or wrong it is from a political point of view? this is not my question. i judge

all this solely from the point of view of the pastor, ukrainians will put up with the change of sexes. they will put up with all this moral relativism that has become part of the culture and politics of the western world. if they agree to acceptance, that's all they lose their identity, their authenticity cease to be the holy land. what then the feat of the saints, the kiev-pechersk lavra pochaev lavra, all this monastic tradition, in fact, we are talking, of course, undoubtedly, in the struggle with the orthodox church, which was and god forbid that in the future it will be the great moral spiritual strength of the ukrainian people. your russian church has helped people a lot during the pandemic and has accumulated vast experience. and so, as soon as hostilities began, the church

immediately began to help people who were victims of the war , refugees. and i see how many people are. there right as we talk behind the ribbon they deliver parcels to soldiers and help those who have suffered, those who are wounded. what do you think, is this sincere indifference to people both inside the church and in our secular space can bring peace closer? from the point of view of the approach of the political world, it is difficult to say, but from the point of view of the improvement of the internal improvement of the life of our society, no doubt. these are very important impulses that have an impact on public consciousness, which have an impact on the consciousness of young people, and what is happening now, of course, cannot but touch and here's to no gratitude. i know so many of these young volunteer people who go there. in e to dangerous

places and so they make very sacrifices for their service and people grow under the weight of external circumstances, if they do not break under the influence of these circumstances, therefore, i think that everything that is happening now, including here, if we talk about the passion of our youth for the cause of charity evidence of assistance there in these very difficult conditions in the donbass. so i think that all this will be to promote really such a positive change in the worldview of young people in their perception of life and ultimately have a favorable impact on their personal lives, and therefore should be reflected favorably on the life of our society. russian ukrainians are one people, in your opinion , this is undoubtedly one people who came out of the kiev baptismal font. but a very large

people from the white sea to the black sea. and this is huge. she always aroused fears of envy among others and therefore ancient times. these external forces worked to in order to separate this people, and at best, push one part against the other. if you look at history, this is how it all happened, but the orthodox church is and has been a force that holds these people together. that's why , in their time, very radical steps were taken to weaken the influence of the church in the first place. this creation of the union greatly divided the people of western south russia indeed, but besides, not only did it divide, it led to bloody clashes, but where there is blood, there is there for a long time. here we are now really turned out to be different in this great

confrontation, bitterness is clearly growing. and on the other hand , hatred is generally cultivated, and at once for everything, but for everything russian. but this year is a year. e of our common history, as you said, we are one people and we have one date 1.035 years of the baptism of russia, we will celebrate this year. here. what do you think, can we, at least based on this date, count on the fact that we have some way to overcome the split between russians and ukrainians. uh split, uh, politically there is, uh, that ukraine has declared that it is radically changing the vector of its political and, i would say, historical development. and that this new vector does not coincide with the vector of russia's development, that's the point. here they are trying to create a kind of civilizational prerequisite for dividing

people. but here's how it really works. here is to bring this division to the very depths of people's life. this is a difficult question. although today everything is being done in ukraine in order to really make russia an enemy in the eyes of ukrainians and in in the eyes of ukrainians, so that the russian people, the russians, become another people. from how successful all this activity will be, that is, aimed at creating some kind of abyss between the two parts of one people. this is what the future will depend on, of course. but the church must do everything to ensure that in no case ukrainians and russians become enemies of slavu, we do not have such cultivation. there is hatred for ukrainians. we treated them as such, we

treated them with no cultivation, we especially treat their leadership, we criticize, but also after all, in political categories we descend for books to what insults we do not agree with the political position of the leadership, but there is no question of cultivating an unfriendly attitude towards ukraine to ukrainians, and as the patriarch of all russia, i am especially attentive to this for me, this is one people, one church . and therefore, therefore, of course, blows are being struck both at the patriarch and at the russian orthodox church, because the factor of unity, and not political unity, but spiritual unity, just like we are united with orthodox people, belonging to our church in the united states of america in the uk in western europe anywhere, we are one church one people one prayer community, but even this spiritual unity

is too much for those who want to dig a gulf between russia and ukraine, which is why the church is under attack. well, here are those who are digging the abyss between ukraine and russia. they probably will never be able to do one thing. they will not be able to cancel the julian calendar, and this calendar of russians and ukrainians remains. in general, thank god, but and very soon we will celebrate the bright feast of the nativity of christ together at the same time. this is what this holiday should be like. is there a place in this holiday for joy in times of grief, but if we say a holiday, we already mean joy, because all holidays become a holiday when people celebrate, and to celebrate from sorrow and an impossible celebration is bright emotions, bright feelings and church holidays, in a special way affect the soul of a person, even the consciousness of a person. here

creating this special state of experiencing the holidays in joy in quiet joy in prayerful joy, but in joy this is the same joy to be for everyone and for our brothers and sisters and ukraine or for all those of our brothers and sisters who live in russia for the whole our church. do you want to follow that we congratulate you all the journalists of russian tv channels russia 24 russia culture vgtrk we congratulate you on the bright holiday of the nativity of christ. i thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish god's help to everyone who works on these channels, uh, who have uh, very important in general in our information space, and who have the opportunity to have a positive impact, both emotional and ideological, on all those who watch and listen to your channels, we try. thank you. all the best. merry

christmas
