" I saw a half -thousand children, and the theme of the christenus naturally arose"

In the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, children from the boarding schools of Donbass were evacuated to the Rostov region. The very next day after the start of a full -scale war, the head of the Don Metropolis Mercury came to the children. He handed out sweet gifts and answered questions about faith. Then the Moscow Patriarchatesaid that "the children were seriously reacted to the choice of crosses" and allegedly "expressed a desire to accept the sacrament of baptism."

Igor Ivanov, the name of Mercury in the world, became Metropolitan Rostov and Novocherkassky in December 2010. Five years later, he received gratitude from Vladimir Putin and in the same year - the Order of Friendship, also from the hands of Putin.

In May 2022, before Victory Day, the Metropolitan called the war “the protection of the Russian Truth,” and the Russian military in Ukraine by heroes. “And what is their heroism? There is no anger in their eyes, there is no hatred, but in them I always saw and see only the truth. Therefore, the victory will be behind us! " - concluded the priest.

But already in the fall of 2022, he began to call questions about the “support of his” provocative. About the Russians who left due to mobilization, Mercury spoke like this: “Sometimes we think that if someone left somewhere, hid, he saved his life. He hid abroad, he left the military call - and there the brick fell on his head. That's all. Everything is in the hands of God. No, of course, should not run into anything. But do not dodge. ” In July 2022, the FBK introduced the Metropolitan to the "List of corrupt and warfarers of war."

During the rebellion of the Wagner PMC, Mercury spent a prayer in Rostov-on-Don about giving the people of the world and multiplying love. Then he called the Wagnerians "uninvited guests."

In the spring of this year, Vladimir Putin awarded the Metropolitan by the third order - "For Merit to the Fatherland of the III degree." You could hear about Mercury in resonant news about the interview that he gave and in which he told how he invited the parishioner to poison her husband with arsenic.

The decision to baptize Ukrainian children “arose naturally”, Ierey Evgeny Osyak is sure : “It turned out that quite a few children were not baptized.”

Already on the first of March 2022, priest Daniil Davidenko, rector of the church of Mary Magdalene in the Krasny landing farm of the Rostov region, made a sacrament with 33 guys. They were brought to church from a temporary maintenance point (PVR) located in the sports and recreation complex "Chamomile":

- Nikolai? - asks the priest, pointing to a boy of five years.

- Yes ... Cyril.

- Now how dives there! Fish, - the woman laughs behind the scenes

Kindergarten "Fairy Tale", Cossacks and Yunarmia

Priest Daniil Davidenko, who baptized children from Donetsk, in the service in the Taganrog deanery The deanery is part of the diocese (church territorial unit led by the bishop), uniting the nearby churches and parishes. If we draw analogies, then the deanery can be called the administration of the district of the city. Since 2015 . Over the past nine years, he comes to educational institutions and tells children about “Ataman values”, including self -sacrifice and commitment to the Orthodox faith.

At the end of April, Davidenko performed at the Interregional Forum of the Patriots "The Road to Victory" named after Alexei Bereste Alexei Berest participated in the capture of the Reichstag, and after the end of the Great Patriotic War he was convicted on the Stalin order for the "embezzlement of state funds". In 1955, he was ahead of schedule. - Soviet officer and hero of Ukraine. The priest congratulated all those present Including Yunarm: EC and high school: CC Novoazovsky and Ambrosievsky districts of Donetsk. With the upcoming Easter and Victory Day. At this forum, he received a letter of thanks “For contribution to the patriotic education of the younger generation” from the local education department.

This is not the first award that Daniil Davidenko received for work with children. Back in 2016, the Ministry of Emergencies in the Rostov Region presented a letter of thanks to the priest “For high readiness for the operational participation in measures to coordinate the reception and placement of forced immigrants and the provision of spiritual, moral and material support to all those in need” for their willingness to work with the forced ones is resettled: Kami and support to all those in need.

“Hello, dear soldier! We do not understand everything. But we know for sure that you cannot offend children "

Doxa and Kidmapping found children from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in the Orthodox shelters of the Voronezh region. One of these places is the shelter of the Pokrov, which holds up to 40 children and adolescents: from three to 18 years old.

Children's shelter adjoins the Church of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In it in 2015, Vladimir Putin noted Christmas. Then he was met by the abbot of the temple - Archpriest Gennady Zaridze. “The president prayed sincerely, with all his heart,” the priest recalls.

The idea of ​​creating an Orthodox shelter for children also belongs to Zaridze. “It will not be what many people think that if the shelter is at the temple, then the pupils will only teach prayers. No, children should develop, ” said the priest during the opening of the institution. The first to educate: the tsami of the “cover” became children from the east of Ukraine. But since the beginning of the full -scale invasion, the "development" of children had militarized.

“Hello, dear soldier! You do not know me, but I hope you will be glad to my letter. <...> We do not understand everything. But we know for sure that it is impossible to offend the children of all peoples, so thank you that you protect the children, ” - educate: TS of the Orthodox shelter sent letters to the Russian military who are in Ukraine. The guide leadership talks about patriotic activities in social networks: "The kind and warm words were written in their letters by the children of the shelter and children of Donbass."

Gennady Zaridze believes that there has never been Ukraine, and “the creation of the Nazis in Ukraine was planned by Allen Dulles Former CIA head. According to the theory of the conspiracy, Dulles wrote a plan that provides for a large -scale propaganda campaign for the collapse of the Soviet Union through the moral decay of youth and the cultivation of immorality in Soviet society. ". Zaridze heads the association of Orthodox scientists for more than ten years. In a collective monograph, the priest wrote that Western countries "are preparing for the revenge of fascism in the world arena and the revival of Nazism as the political foundation of all mankind." As the Archpriest himself says, he mainly deals with “studying miracles by natural science methods”: for example, measures the temperature of the fertile fire The fire that the Jerusalem Patriarch makes from the coffin of the Lord on the eve of Orthodox Easter. .

We talk about Russia's military invasion of Ukraine and its consequences. So that we can continue to continue work, support us.

“Get up, Donbass! Russia-mother with you! " - Faith and patriotic education in the center of Orthodox education

The heads of the DPR and LPRannounced the mass evacuation on February 18, 2022. The first wards began to be transported to Kursk from the Khartsyz Children's Social Center - 25 children were placed in the Olympets sports complex.

And the children trust what is said, simply because it is said, ”the Orthodox priest Andrei Cordochkin, who was banned by the“ secret patriarchal resolution ”for an anti -war position, comments in a conversation with DOXA.

Many military-patriotic events in the center are carried out for children from the Lugansk and Donetsk regions.

Get up, Donbass! Let's drive the junta together! Get up, Donbass! Russia-mother! You will become a new Brest!”

Однако священник Андрей Кордочкин отмечает, что за последние десятилетия в России сложилась религия «по сути безбожная, но включающая в себя элементы православного культа»:

«В рамках этой “религии” основные ценности — национальные и государственные, и православие используется как идеологическая оболочка, хотя очевидно, что в христианском учении базовые ценности — надгосударственные и наднациональные».
