To my knowledge, no formal statement on nuclear proliferation has been issued as yet by any official body of the Orthodox Church. Without a doubt, it will become an issue. In my book, “Contemporary Moral Issues”, I address the “arms race.” I believe that it is the Church’s general teaching that war is not good, […]

Traffic control is a difficult task, but, if necessary, even a baboon can do it. Can a baboon be trained to manage the passing trains? Yes, with the help of a human friend! Railway signalman James Wide, who lost both his legs in an accident on the job and was forced to use awkward prosthetics, […]

Ever since 1821, my ancestors, the Palladins, used to live in the village of Dyutkovo not far from Moscow. Some of them served in the local Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded in the 16th century.

Did the Bolsheviks Install a Monument to Judas? Part 1. To understand the absurdity, I will allow myself to cite Henning Kehler’s “memories” from his book “The Red Garden” published in 1921. It is full of artistic inventions, as the author himself admitted (“the memories are artistically processed, condensed and enhanced. Each of them contains […]

The legend about the installation of the monument to Judas in Sviyazhsk has been known for a long time. It would seem that enough has been said about its sources, but there are, as they say, details. Quite interesting to pass by. So, the legend is that after the Red Army soldiers arrived in Sviyazhsk […]
