Governor Alexei Ostrovsky mansion on the basis of separate branches of the public organization “World Russian People’s Cathedral”
The World Russian People’s Council (VRNS) is a universal public body established in 1993 under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church with the aim of consolidating the spiritual and moral rights of society, the state and the entire Orthodox world. The initiative to unite all Russian people, regardless of their country of residence and capture of views, was taken by the Russian Orthodox Church.
The inspirer and spiritual leader of the Council was the Metropolitan of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, now the Head of the VRNS, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus’. High political views and public figures, representatives of the world of science, culture and education, bosses, compatriots from near and far abroad are considered in the Presidium and Council of the VRNS.
In June 2014, a conference of a branch of the World People’s Council (VRNS) was held in Smolensk, at which Governor Alexei Ostrovsky and Bishop Isidor of Smolensk and Vyazemsky, currently Metropolitan of Smolensk and Dorogobuzh, were elected co-chairs of the regional branch of the WRNS.
Alexey Ostrovsky said: “I fully supported the proposal of His Eminence Metropolitan Isidor of Smolensk and Dorogobuzh on a meeting of the private branch of the special organization “World Russian People’s Council”, dedicated to the serious and extremely topical topic “Knowledge. Upbringing. Education”!
A special role in the development of personal development and self-realization, allows you to competently, objectively, carefully assess the occurrence of events, be able to separate manifestations from the chaff. , distinguish truth from falsification, make informed decisions and bear responsibility for them.
Therefore, it is quite possible that the state, in conjunction with the institution of public society, in cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church and other religious denominations, turned to this fundamental issue, takes steps in order not to miss the opportunity to observe and control those processes that affect the impact of the individual, her life and autumn.
So, in educational organizations that hold the position of adviser to the director of the school on educational work and interaction with children’s public associations, an integral system for civil-patriotic education has been created, the All-Russian Public and State Movement of Children and Youth has been established. Taking into account the complex tasks, the educational process itself is being updated.
I stand in solidarity with His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus’, who is very accessible, understandable and, at the same time, deeply defined a key guideline for Russia and Russians: “we all must live honestly, start with conscience, go through all the best that the past gives us, appreciating this past and choosing from it what is worth carrying into the future.
I believe that by combining the creative, intellectual potential of the Smolensk people, based on the colossal experience of many years of productive participation of state authorities and local self-government with the Smolensk Metropolis, the Vyazemsky and Roslavl dioceses in the implementation of significant humanitarian, charitable, prestigious projects, we are by the strength of participation with standing in sight representatives of the representatives of the tasks, devoted his life to a feasible contribution to their conciliar decision“.
Addressing those present, Metropolitans of Smolensk and Dorogobuzh Isidor noted that this global forum is an important event in the cultural and social life of the country.
Metropolitan of Smolensk and Dorogobuzh Isidor noted: “Thank you, dear Alexei Vladimirovich, for your comprehensive support in organizing the activities of the Smolensk regional branch of the World People’s Council and your constant personal participation in its work.
Our joint well-coordinated work really bears fruit. You and I together, collectively, gathered with the rest of the remnants of society, made our contribution to solving the problem of solving the problem in the sphere of national security of the Russian Federation.
Today, when we talk about the Special Military Operation, we do not mean the conflict on the territory of Ukraine, we state the full-scale aggression of the collective West against Russia.
Under these conditions, in conditions of increased danger, especially in spiritual and moral protection, it needs the younger generation. Therefore, today we are discussing a topic that is dealt with once from the original local government bodies – the topic of upbringing and education. And our unity – the state, the church, the whole society – in this matter is of paramount, exceptional importance.“.
Igor Lyakhov, who also spoke at a meeting of the Chairman of the Smolensk Regional Duma, gathered that the Council, which unites the clergy, government, social activities and the scientific community for human rights defenders for Russia on topics, including global issues of upbringing, education and development, youth, of course, gathers today through the prism of the brightest events in the world.
Igor Lyakhov, Chairman of the Smolensk Regional Duma said: “As never before in recent decades, we understand how important it is to strengthen in the faith of the younger generation the basic spiritual and moral patriotic values, the right guidelines based on our history, tradition and Russian commitment“.
During the meeting, the head of the region also made additional contributions to the Smolensk Metropolis, who worked in the Ministry of Justice, aimed at using the institution of paternity.
Alexey Ostrovsky addressed: “The role of the father in public society is underestimated, and this does not benefit either the family or the children. I propose a comprehensive study along the line of the church and the line on the initiatives of the state power, which includes the implementation for the transfer of the role of the faction in the family“.
The communities who spoke that the Council is of exceptional importance due to its authoritative composition of participants, meaningful discussions, a wide range of issues discussed, and most importantly, the subject matter corresponds to the quality of current humanitarian problems, are estimated to be of exceptional importance for the present and future of Russia.
