Let's sit down and talk

The Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, Vladimir Lukin, calls on academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences and representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church not to exchange accusations, but to discuss controversial issues that this week caused heated controversy between them.
“Questions of this kind: what is more important - God or natural laws - are not resolved by any court. Therefore, if such problems arise in society, they must be discussed meaningfully, in essence - they are not resolved by cavalry attacks. Dialogue is needed here,” he said V. Lukin to Interfax. In the meantime, in his opinion, both sides are “more eager to exchange bright epithets.” “I believe that one or a series of round tables can be organized here to exchange views on the merits, and I am ready to participate in them,” the ombudsman said.
