In Ukraine, the ideas of the "Russian world" are still spreading, and peaceful cities are also subject to it. About this in an interview with "Apostrophe" on the example of his trip to Kharkov told the chaplain, the priest of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Nikolai Medinsky.
I'll tell you a story illustrating how the information weapon (at the highest level of Russia, "Apostrophe") works. In their pseudo-bogoslovsky-level books, they are trying to lay the foundation of Russia's future on the ideology of imperial chauvinism, they are zombifying people with the idea of ??"the Russian world". But, at the same time, do not shun the most primitive means. In that their strength is that they find a certain approach and lever to every stratum of society.
About a month ago I happened to visit the central cathedral of the Moscow church (UOC-Moscow Patriarchate, Apostrophe) in Kharkov. I also went to the church shop right on the territory of the cathedral. I crossed the threshold - and say hello: "Glory to Jesus Christ!". Babka, who was in charge there, muttered something incomprehensible to herself. And I ask: did not the priest teach you how to respond to the traditional Christian greeting? You kind of face the church here.
And she, seeing me an olive form without a Chaplain difference, decided that in front of her - a warrior. And he says: "Son, every word is good - just not" Glory to Ukraine! ". Someone, after hearing this, will smile and say: I do not know how to grind something! And someone, for whom those klikushi, those nested dolls with churches have some authority - he will reflect. That is, she sowed the grain. Small, primitive - but with terrible sprouts. If it finds its ground, it is a crime. And I proved to her that this is a crime against the truth of Christ, against the truth of the Church, a crime against the state. And I have only one question: why such destructive and criminal activity in modern Ukraine is allowed.
In that church shop I bought a little booklet. I do not remember the exact name. Something like "Sim will be saved". This is literature that prepares the chaplain of the Russian Empire, where all of their Moscow, imperial values ??are imposed on a person as the only way to save their souls. And it is sold at the temples in Ukraine. Here comes the warrior, will buy that book - and will understand that in order to be saved, it is necessary to serve Russia!.
At the end of the conversation, I told her: she says terrible things. That under the slogan "Glory to Ukraine! Heroes glory!" Our children die today, our ancestors perished in the past struggle. With these words, people are going to die for more than one century. "What are you," I say, "is arguing his words?". "Only God needs to be given glory," replies the grandmother.
And, you know, for an ordinary person, such an answer, in principle, is sufficient. At this stage, it is difficult to blame someone for something anti-Ukrainian. How, it is logical: you say "Thank God," but do not say "Glory to Ukraine". And the grain will fall on fertile soil.
But I continued. "Why?" I ask. "It's sinful, it's from Satan". Glorify Ukraine - "sinful". But this is an absolute lie. Because when we glorify God - word, action, prayer, spiritually, socially, socially - we embody the first commandment of Christ: "Love God with all your heart and with all your heart". When we glorify our people in any way, word or deed, or simply love, we follow the second commandment of Christ:
"Love your neighbor as yourself". "Therefore you are telling a lie," I say to that grandmother. - You are lying, you are deceiving people. And at the same time you use double standards. Because all that concerns love to Ukraine, serving Ukraine - for you, "sinful" and "from Satan". And all that concerns the ministry for the development of the "Russian world" or the so-called "holy Russia", for you - God's blessed cause, the road that, according to your words, leads directly to the sky.
