patriarch kirill of moscow of all russia today at st. alexisoke with hospital patients and blessed them for a speedy recovery. of course, the patriarch of the hospital staff especially thanked them. a person spiritually feels at home. but even if he comes here, a person comes and is either hospitalized, who has nothing to do with the church, maybe even with religion. at st. alexei hospital in moscow today patients from all over russia, including from the returned territories, have been helping the hospital since march 2022, including our front-line soldiers who returned from the northern military district, we are talking, in particular, about prosthetics, so prosthetics have already been carried out for more than 50 patients. we talked with the guys who returned from the sites of a special military operation several months ago, and this is what they say. the ukrainian military... one, well, in gorlovka, one was not amputated, but the second one had already arrived here and was saved. the hospital in the planet of help provides great help donbas

one could imagine this even in the wild middle ages, but when this happens in the 20th century, patriarch alexynces and health. glory to ukraine. well, in the end , he used this argument in order to resolve the fact that the moscow patriarchate was never able, as they say in ukrainian, to resolve this issue. we are served a new, some new orthodoxy, well, which we consume, when we need, as much as we need, in a package that is larger for us like. ukrainian society. we lived with this event for 8 years exactly, i , as a soviet officer, lived with this event for 30 years , we traveled through several countries of the continent to meet people far from politics, the ball game, they have polin - a national game, like hockey trove, already the most chukotka ball. january 7: a memorable date in the military history of russia. january 7, 1878, the battle of prisheinov, one of the final battles of the russian-turkish war. in the battle from january 7 to 9 , russian troops won a strategically important victory. she brought fame to the legendary general skobelev. the battle of prisheinov brought the libera

well, of course, this cost patriarch alexy a lot of worries and health, who died at the end of the same year. well, when before kiev the doctors also categorically objected. in 2007, we made changes to the statute of the ukrainian orthodox church, which actually made it even more independent of the russian orthodox church, and this was already a document that regulated, according to the state laws of modern ukraine, the relationship of the ukrainian orthodox church with the moscow patriarchate. commissions were created on preparations for a dialogue with the kiev patriarchate and the euthocepal church, that is, a process of rapprochement was underway, which clearly frightened moscow very much, god forbid, something would come of it, until 2018 , two schismatic groups existed in parallel: the kiev patriarchate and the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church. both did not have widespread popular support. but they enjoyed the support of various government structures, which unsuccessfully tried to unite them into one whole, but really unsuccessfully, because each had their own ambitions, in

and not given to any museum, it was handed over to my predecessors, in all likelihood, it was patriarch alexyl sacristy. and this is how my contact with this shrine took place. but i’m also very glad that this happened not only as a keel. and this image did not remain only as it were. in the place where the patriarch prays, but that the opportunity has arisen to return him to the historical place where he was, to red square, but these are clearly some kind of signs , or it’s this, or it’s us, so-so, this is a good question, for the church, for the people, for the state, this is a very good question, there is such a text from the holy scriptures: do not harm an evil soul degrades wisdom and does not dwell in the body, guilty of... sin. what does this mean? this means that in order to accept the grace of god, in order to accept a miracle, you need to be ready for it. were we ready for this in soviet times? no. we were ready in the post-soviet era, when all these turbulences were, our consciousness was switched to something completely different. now is a special time. i call this focus time. rus

handed over to any museum, it would be handed over to my predecessors, in all likelihood, it was patriarch alexy sacristy, so this is how my contact with this shrine happened, but i am also very glad that it happened not only in a keel manner, and this image... did not remain only in the place where the patriarch prays, but that the opportunity arose to return him to the historical place where he was located, on red square, but these are clearly some kind of signs, or are we so-so elites, yes, this is a good question, for the church, for the people, for the state, this is a very good question , there is such a text from the holy scriptures: wisdom will not enter into an artful soul. has gained material, intellectual, scientific, military strength, a lot of strength, but russia has undoubtedly gained spiritual strength, it has become the support of orthodoxy throughout the world, our church does not just play some kind of cultural role, it is located outside the fields of public life, there on the periphery, serving pensioners, she is at the center of people's lives, that's when all these wonderf

do a lot for the church, but this is not my merit, this is... together with him, the visit of patriarch alexya year later we gained a great reverend, that is, the chains the ascetic wore on herself, it’s 7 kg in weight, two parts, you know, they were found quite by accident in the monastery, somewhere in the attic in some corner, you know, the listeners found it, they began to invite archaeologists , says, yes, this is the forging of the 11th century, then the next stage is re-dressing. the whole relics, the whole body was preserved and the fragrance, a wave-like fragrance, you understand, it comes in waves, then the saint’s shrine was at first in a silver shrine. but it was cleaned during the time of troubles, when churches were smashed there , everything was disgraced, this shrine was lost and there was an idea to create a new shrine, a silver shrine, it was created with the direct participation of alexandravich lukashenko, thanks to his assistance, the shrine was built, and on june 5 , 2007, alexander grigorievich visited polotsk, the cancer was discovered, it has been standing for 700 yea

, i wanted one ... she came because i’m not sure what, but the patriarch really liked it, and patriarch alexy liked alexey, talked to us, yes, he gave us some certificates of gratitude , it was some kind of bright period, you know, i have several films, i shot it on a high note, here’s a wedding so the island was shot on some enormous energy of love, the island was shot on some enormous energy of love, and the film about... ivan the terrible was apparently no longer shot on the energy of love, it seems to me that it ’s quite hard to watch, hard to watch, yes, tsar, yes , i just remember my feelings, and you look again, you will be surprised, maybe i remember, i incredibly liked yankovsky in this film, the way he plays metropolitan philip, that’s how much dignity, how much nobility, how much restraint, and mamonova, despite all the fact that i understand that... he is a brilliant actor, but he, but he transforms into ivan in such a way that it’s just creepy, mind you, mind you, mind you, i had from this film some feeling that here, in the words of the poet, art ends and the soil breathes and f
