"Trinity" of discord

Daria Kormanovskaya, internship of the Republican Research Center, writes about the essence of the conflict around the Trinity Rublev:

“The endless, as a recurring nightmare, Troitsyn Day of the Glory of the President, the Patriarch and the multinational Russian people can celebrate another victory: finding the“ Trinity ”in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is extended until <...> July 18. The fragile board of linden should serve its own before the state, apparently, up to some tangible front-line changes-and then can be poured into dust and ashes, fulfilling its purpose for the quasi-historical performance. <...>

Is the conflict between Orthodox Christians and secular defenders of cultural heritage in the foundation of the current situation? <...> No. I don't think so. <...>

] The transfer of the icon was not conceived as the beginning of a large campaign to return church values. If this were so, preparation and the process itself would take decades, and there should have been a priority for good safety. Thus, the return of Alexander Nevsky’s crayfish to Lavra did not cause a great resonance. They want to return a specific icon, this one is the most valuable thing that we have symbolically with you, but it will be physically taken. Like the beauty, I don't like it - well, you understand.

For such a <...> would require the autonomy of the church, partly entering into confrontation with the state, as well as the numerical dominance of living Orthodox spaces with active parish communities. <...> Where in today's Russia there is the conviction that Orthodoxy is one of the central pillars of the country? Three decades here were built shopping centers, anthill residential complexes and concrete churches for the city outskirts. < ...>

So, today specific people want to pick up only one specific icon, namely the symbolic power of which is inversely proportional to its physical condition. With bitterness and trepidation, we again see how beautiful everything is - fragile. In society, such a decision relys on the approval of those who, out of ignorance, are sure that in the church the icon felt great for five centuries, and only in the museum she began to “get sick”. Is there a directly Orthodox interest in this transportation? I suppose no. The church has not been embarrassed by lists and copies for centuries. <...>

The conflict only once again exposes the fundamental contradictions of the national state and ancient, as the light of culture, questions about tyranny. It is easier for us to imagine the patriarchy and parishioners as spiritual owners, and the intelligentsia as the owners of the soulless, the conflict is metaphysical, but in reality this is not so. “Trinity” today scandalizes the usual binary ideologems, which are content with the audience for lack of the opportunity to participate in politics, while the big interest of the state -owned person lies behind the great ideologist. < ...>

Art, friends, should belong to the people. And the people, as you all remember well, "there is not an all kind of random gathering of people ..."
