Vladimir Medinsky: “The state has something to manage besides churches and cathedrals”
March 22, 2017 Moskovsky Komsomolets published an interview Vladimir Medinsky, in which the Minister of Culture answered the question about the fate Isaac's Cathedral. “ To God - God's, to Caesar - Caesar's ,” said the minister to Pavel Gusev, editor-in-chief of MK. - Temples were built for common prayer and appeal to God, and not for the arrangement of warehouses, workshops or concert halls. But to Isaac, certainly a special attitude - and, as a consequence, a special procedure.
