In which the churches and temples have become across the country. Nobody restores monuments destroyed by the Communists. Why, when can I build new?!
What do you think it is on the title picture? Right, new temple! This time in Yekaterinburg. Since there were few places in the city, the temple decided to put directly on the city pond. In all the media it is now called - a temple-on-water.
There was a Catherine Cathedral in the city. In the 1930s, the Communists blew him off. Well, now good people decided to rebuild it. True, not in the form and not in that place.
Architect Mikhail Gorbowski says that he was asked to restore the temple asked by the general director of UMMK Andrei Kozitsyn and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Russian Copper Company Igor Altushkin. Businessmen wanted to make the city a gift to the 300th anniversary. It is said that Altushkin in Yekaterinburg does not even live. Nevertheless, the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding a temple-on-water liked everyone: and the governor Evgenia Kuyvashev, and the ROC, and even the mayor Roismann. In principle, it is not surprising: neither the city nor Sverdlovsk regionNor, thank God, the ROC of money for the temple is not spent, and the fastenings grow.
Conveniently! On that and cut ...
The Catherine Cathedral, built in 1723 and destroyed in 1930, was on the site of the current square of labor. Now there is a chapel of the Saint Great Martyr Catherine, built in 1998, and a stone flower fountain. The pond section was marked with a pond, reserved for the construction of a new temple, blue - a place where the cathedral stood before. 
That's how the cathedral looked like. A truly beautiful and elegant temple, architectural dominant city. 
At one time, the temple was going to restore in the same place, but the townspeople managed to defend their squad and fountain. Now the temple decided to put directly on the water, and his appearance Change beyond recognition.
Mikhail Gorbornovsky:
"Six years ago the cathedral was proposed to restore on the square of the fountain" Stone Flower ". The townspeople opposed, and did the right thing: this place is not suitable for construction.
First, it is one of the most cozy places In the city: green zones we have so few. Secondly, city infrastructure has already developed without this building, and the cathedral would have dissected with buildings around. Thirdly, the building will be well perceived only on big SquareTo read all its facades. And in fourth, the construction difficulty would make it difficult to work and without the overloaded transport network. The construction of the temple in the water area of \u200b\u200bthe city pond removes these questions».
Judging by the first renders, the temple first wanted to build on the arrow, separating it from the peninsula by the canal. 
He was supposed to look like ... 
The author of the project Mikhail Gorbowski says that the temple will be built in the spirit of the Moscow Pattern and that, thanks to him, "Pranma Pond will enrich." Unfortunately, it doesn't look at the Catherine Cathedral, blown up in the 1930th. Rather, on some strange hybrid of the Moscow Cathedral of Vasily of the Blessed and Peter Savior-on-Blood.
"Figuratively speaking, our city is an amphitheater, whose arena is a city pond. Therefore, it was logical to build a temple here. Architects and previously sought to emphasize the buildings the main planning axes of the city - the road from Moscow to Siberia and the riverbed of the pond and the Iset River (one of these attempts - tV tower), But this idea has not received a logical completion. Working on the project, I represented the ship sailing».
Then the temple as if by himself moved to the island. Working Group under the Governor Kuyvashev Construction of the Temple approved. 
Roizman:
"I speak from myself: this is a very cool, cheeky and ambiguous project. Such projects always require discussion. And the appearance of our temple in a similar style is the Declaration of the Third Capital. "
In the Yekaterinburg diocese believe that "it will be best gift Residents of Yekaterinburg to the 300th anniversary of the city. "
Metropolitan Yekaterinburg and Uphotursky Kirill:
"How can you live without the temple of St. Catherine? This is the source of the city! We have the right to build there [on the Labor Square] Temple, because there is a foundation. But we do not want regular revolutions. In my opinion, the 300th anniversary of the city without this temple is just a pshik. I am sure that the temple of Saint Catherine will be. There are no crazy people! No need to be ashamed to correct errors. " 
He openly stated that the opinion of the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg was not interested in:
"The people elected Vladimir Vladimirovich - he now taxes the country. If we collect people for each occasion, then you know how much referendums have to be held. There are deputies that are chosen by people. If there is a political will, then there will be changes. "
Since the question was solved by itself, public hearings about the construction of the temple turned into a farce. The townspeople simply said that the cathedral would be. And with dissenters were ready to talk to the appearance of the appearance of the temple-on-water. 
In response, Yekaterinburg, protesting against the construction of the temple, arranged a cool campaign "Many pond." But it seems to no longer help. 
But the final project of the temple. Yes, yes, this is a crown ... 
To build a temple, in the bay of the pond are going to pour an 8,800 square island. meters. The height of the temple will be 62 meters, the area is more than 500 square meters. meters, it will be designed for 2200 people. 
The building permit should give regional minidations, but the ministry has not received an application for the water area of \u200b\u200bthe city pond of Yekaterinburg. However, the cathedral will already be built. 
The funny thing is that the temple turned out to be "rubber". The local architect proved that the authors of the on-water church deliberately reduced him not renders relative to other buildings.
Render:
Moskovsky Patriarchate continues to lure Russia's web of his buildings. Despite the fact that the construction of buildings in the parks is prohibited, as a rule, its temples of the ROC trying to place in the parks. In this regard, cases of protests of local residents against the construction of Orthodox structures increased. During the confrontation, it turns out that the representatives of the Orthodox Church often fake signatures of local residents and falsify public hearings to achieve permission to build their facilities in unbelievable places.
Before that, one of the hottest points was the Khodyan field, where the temple of Sergius Radonezh is planned contrary to the desire of Muscovites.
Now they flared up passion around the next construction of the temple complex for 500 parishioners in the Peatman Park. This construction should have been implemented under the 200 Temples program in Moscow. Locals have learned about construction, when public hearings have already passed (last year the Moscow City Court admitted that they went with violations). And indignant. In their requirements, they oppose the violation of the law and inappropriate construction in the park.
"- construction in the parks is prohibited by law.
- If a full-fledged temple is built in this park, the park will disappear, because the territories of the temples are extensive and accessories and other infrastructure are required.
- Almost not far from this place (Yenisei street, 14) there is already one beautiful temple.
- in the northeast administrative district there are already more than 63 temples. Thus, the number of churches on the landscaped areas has already exceeded the number of clinics.
- Public hearings were falsified.
- We do not want to see the bell ringing, Roma and beggars in the park, "these are the arguments of the inhabitants who broke the tent town near the illegal construction site.
In response, the ROC sent certain athletic activists from the Orthodox-extremist organization "Forty Siloki". Previously, these militants have already participated in such hot conflicts for "pressed" territories from local residents.
Currently, the conflict came to the level of Patriarch Gundyaev, who called on all "to the abandonment of confrontation and to a peaceful, civilized settlement of all contradictions." But people did not diverge, since activists do not trust local residents, calling all the blue (they are afraid of desecrations not yet built shrines), and residents do not believe Patriarch.
It can be stated that the rejection of the buildings in different cities of the country by the Russians of the construction of temples in different cities. The myth that most Russians are Orthodox, cannot withstand any criticism. Church press is increasingly splitting our society. We increasingly hear that the inhabitants are already annoying even the bell ringing, not to mention the rest of the bouquet of church negative. It's time to remember that we have a secular country, and it's time to begin to respect the rights not only the Patriarch Kirill, but also the rest of Russia.
"Seventy years ago, the churches crossed in a massive order, now it is just as forcibly ascended"
"And if we do not agree, so that we have built the church in the yard, then we have already threatened, the bim meritor will be built here!"
Wonderful things are yours, Lord! As always - especially in Russia.
Last year, the Patriarch of All Russia and the Moscow leadership approved construction in the capital 200 modular churches "walking distance." But the bright undertaking in other places has grown into the godless scandal ...
Against the steps, as food shops, the availability of temples were those for the sake of whom, actually, and the authorities tried, that is, potential parishioners. Orthodox Muscovites made "Protestants" ...
Residents of the Chobotovskaya Street in Novoprederkin do not want to join spirituality at the cost of destroying their yard. Photo: Elena Semenova
"Write only that we are not attenuating, as we are trying to describe us now, we are not against religion and faith, we are against the officials of the boring and point development of our territory," residents of Chobotovskaya Street in Novoprederkin do not want to join the spirituality of the cost of destroying their yard.
Night. Street. Lamp. Police. There is no church yet - some concrete blocks are lying on yes, they go in the wind, like banners, scraps of white-red building ribbons. Machines barely drove around the remaining non-busy construction of a narrow strip of the sidewalk, chimple the bottom asphalt. Gr - r-r-rr! A group of citizens nervously shudders at the September Cool. There are among them and workers, and intelligentsia with folders and portfolios, entrepreneur, middle-aged woman, active pensioner-pensioner. In short, the whole Christian world is our civil society in miniature. These are the protesters of the residents of Chobotovskaya Street, house 1 and house 3.
The contented military, colonel, warns us at once that it is by no means for the buzz, it is in this particular option for justice. "The problem is that there is a house, there are its inhabitants and they have their own opinion that they want to see in their yard, but the most opinion is to do - both churches and the authorities." Just ending the fight. The builders of the temple beat a pensioner, which tried to go to the territory of the subject of the object to pick up his car from there. As a result of the construction of the car Nina Mikhailovna, the Rogin was locked behind the gates and concrete blocks. He is so not alone. "We ordered to remove all the cars that stood before on this territory - people are indignant. - If nowhere to park, what will happen after the construction of the temple? And on days church holidays? But the site rang and warned that the number of cars were rewritten and, if we do not remove them voluntarily, the evacuator will come. "
The path of an elderly lady, made in the dark to their car, blocked the foreman with reinforcement, also, by the way, Orthodox, originally from Belarus. The foreman broke the lady jacket and allegedly threatened to nice it at all if she won't stop her way to the temple, the unfortunate woman pulled the neighbors and took the police to the police: to shoot beatings and testify. The remaining continued to a rally.
- We left on September 12 into the courtyard, and there already concrete blocks around the perimeter of nakidani, this is a future construction site. We are straight and abuned! I can not understand what it is and why? And we did not ask: whether we want such grace or do not want?!
- The construction of the temple is conducted at night, under the cover of darkness, it has already begun, but we know that there were no permissive documents at the time of its start, they only signed them the other day, when the work has already begun.
- What is it - seventy years ago, the churches crossed in a massive order, now it is just as forcibly ascended when this mockery of the people will end?
- We made it to the reception to the head of the council of Evgeny Sorokhe, and he stated us that the question was resolved at the very top and our business - the last. The temple on this place will still be. We wrote an open letter to Patriarch Kirill, Sergey Sobyanin, but as long as they read it, the temple will pass turnkey.
Help MK Help "MK"
At the consecration ceremony of the temple bookmark in honor of St. Stephen Perm in South Butt, the first Mosmera of Moscow Vladimir Resin promised to Patriarch Moscow and All Russia Cyril not stretch "for decades" the construction of religious structures. "Next time, your Holiness, we will meet more than once again on the laying of such stones in the very near future," RESER assured.
"We promised that if we resist, it was called the mosque or synagogue, or a shelter for homeless ...". "I will not allow!", "Do not want!", "We are right!" - In a single impulse, the townspeople are raging. A year ago, a program for the construction of churches for the construction of temples was projected in Moscow. The project is being implemented and coordinates the financial and economic management of the Moscow Patriarchate. Construction should be carried out at the expense of voluntary donations of the population, of course, considering and the opinion of residents who are near this grace to live.
- We already have three temples in the area and another in the Solntsev, they are empty. As explained to us: here will appear another temple - and no one will drink and get to be bother, "Albina Dushkina says.
To revive the spiritual beginning, to raise morality and morality in society, to do, finally, our citizens are kind to each other, multiplying the number of temples per capita, which was decided to build these modules. Where did the thoughts started so good?
"Dark people! - Occasions are embarrassed. - What do you want, so many years lived in the worm of you have to plan culture now! " But they do not want to live near the modular temple in the warm camp, there were loud scandals on this occasion and in East Degunino. The protests of the citizens forced to temporarily stop the construction and transfer the object of the cult in a new place. This spring was held the first public hearings about where the church stand in Novoprederkin, they seem to be called local residents to explain to them, unreasonable, how lucky they were, and residents - which is confirmed documented - all as one voted "for".
"Nobody invited us anywhere, it was not us," residents convince us. - We learned about these hearings from the district newspaper only now. Everything was done in quiet. At the hearing, there were some 24 unknown citizen from 115 thousand living in Novoprederkin, more officials and workers from enterprises that do not live here at all, they signed all the necessary papers.
The case ended with a fight. Photo: Elena Semenova
- This is our land, are confident in Novoprederkin. - And we take it away. Here was a part of the playground, it enters the territory of the future church, from the side where her entrance is located on the canons. There was a natural ice hill. We poured her to themselves. She will disappear. And where are children? Where to go to teenagers? On drug entrances?
"I used to live in a house where the church was also standing in the yard," said Alexey alone, sadly notes. - She was destroyed, and we wanted to restore it. As soon as we restored it, it turned out that the bell ringing glances and degenerates only when hears him rarely. And then almost every hour you are on your head - boom boom boom, children can not sleep, adults come from work - and for the citronone, the head hurts, does not stop. Apartments fell in price. The presence of the church in the yard is, as it turned out that the ratio of the coefficient. I sold my hut for four years, I barely got rid of, moved here - and here the same catatavia ...
- The churches with bells on large intersections were always built in Russia, where there were no housing, and near the houses put a small chapel, who only signed this project?! After all, initially he was not like that! - A resident of Larisa Bulaeva leads us to a sign, on which it is marked, that the same church, against which everyone protests, was to be built at the intersection of the Chobotovskaya street and Borovsky highway, that is, meters in trusts from these houses, on the edge of a small stroke.
But, as we told us in the press service of the prefecture of the Western district, an elevation at the intersection of the Chobotov Street and Borovsky Highway - the best place For the temple - already burdened by the investment contract, that is, this land has long been mastered, and it is planned to put five residential buildings on its territory, school, kindergarten, New District Management and Hotel Building.
500 signatures gathered the residents of Chobotovskaya demanding to leave them alone. However, the progress of the currently operating in the Novoprederkin of the Temple, Mikhail Glazov, argues that five thousand of his other parishioners, the inhabitants of the same area, are also ready to sign an urgent petition that the Temple is in the Chobotovskaya believing is vital.
"Of course, they will sign anything, everything is well aware that if the temple does not put in our Chobotov, then it will be shoved in their own yard," the protesters snarled.
Poor people. We look at them by flawing at night, but ready to go to the end in this confrontation - not against faith, against the bureaucratic impossible (they asked to emphasize especially!). But still a little, we think, and they will bring them to such a state that the only temple in which they will generally agree to come will be built in their soul.
And then what to do churches?
Current comment
Press secretary of the Foundation for the construction of the construction of the temples of Moscow Anastasia Gorshkov:
- The head of the Novoprederkina Council of Evgeny Soroka explained that there is no other, more suitable and free for the construction of the Earth's temple in this microdistrict. The plot highlighted under the temple is reserved for construction, the consolidation of this status occurred long before it was offered to the ROC, and therefore something to build something in this earth in any case. Also, we were also informed that on public hearings on the construction of the church of the atmosphere was very friendly. The reasons for the scandal we do not see.
On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, on the site of the construction of the temple in honor of the icon God's Mother "Unauthorized bundle" passed an unauthorized rally of persons disagreeable with its construction.
The temples protest against the construction of a new temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Unless Cupina". The position of these people would be of course, it was clear if there were some facilities or playgrounds during the construction of a new temple, a cutting of trees were destroyed, but we still don't really understand how, in a clean field, the construction of the Orthodox church is anti-people Act.
On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, on the site of the construction of the temple in honor of the Icon of the Mother of God "Unless Cupina" (at the address of Michurinsky Pros-CT, opposite the owner, on the banks of the Great Ochakovsky Pond, near the house number 80 in Michurinsky Prospect) took place Unauthorized rally of unknown persons who do not agree with its construction. 25 - 30 people gathered at the rally.
The rally organized a deputy WMO Troparevo-Nikulino Garnachuk V.F. .known by its anti-Putinian rhetoric (in 2012 he was accused of spreading anti-Putinian leaflets and calls to the overthrow of power), a temples, a member of the rallies on the marsh, trusted face of Navalny in the election of the mayor.
At this rally, aggressive supporters of Garnachuk, they went to the group of local Orthodox residents and the builders of the temple, began to shoot them on the chambers of the phones, shout out the threat, promising to certainly close the construction of the temple. There were no other quiet arguments based on the norms of law and reinforced with documented. Vladimir Garnachuk, as a person who has experience in such matters, in particular, said: "In order for us to listen to us, we must confirm that we have such dissenters, a lot. And for this until 15.04. We need to collect at least 2500 signatures. " Speech Garnachuk is saturated with the vocabulary of the "Union of Militant Sugurizians." Supporters of the construction of the temple, calls "Locks of Dz." And the construction of the Garnachuk temple itself calls "medieval" and opposes the temple of the "convenient area".
On the pages of your blog at the email address: http://garnach.livejournal.com/316944.html, Deputy Garnachuk Vladimir Fedorovich agitates against the construction of the temple in Ochakovo - Matveevsky. A year earlier, on the pages of your blog at: http://garnach.livejournal.com/126777.html agitated against the construction of the temple in the area of \u200b\u200bTroparevo Nikulino. At the same time, it claims that he is not against the church. However, Garnachuk in our opinion, Lukavit, arguing that he is not against the church. That is, he is "not against" one tiny overcrowded temple on a millionth district, the temple of Mikhail Archangel in Troparevo, which is crowded so much that on Sunday a day it is impossible to even enter the entry of the temple on Sunday. Garnachuk gives his disrespect to the Orthodox residents of Nikulino, the Olympic village and Ochakovo, arguing that the current small temple in Troparevo is enough that it is not overflowing on holidays. "
Garnachuk's active assistant is Anastasia Potekhinawhich even organized the collection of signatures on the website www.change.org under the petition "Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin: Stop the construction of temples in natural zones Moscow in the "program-200" and allocate other land plots for their construction. "

According to Garnachuk activists, local residents (according to the testimony of a precinct 60-70% of apartments in the area take off the visit), to put it mildly, wonder why they need a temple, if at the intersection of ul. Lobachevsky and Michurinsky Prospect is another temple. In their opinion, the authorities of the city of Moscow instead of dealing with the construction of social objects, build temples, not even deigning to find out the opinion of the inhabitants.
It is necessary to emphasize that these are people frankly opposed against the Orthodoxy and the construction of temples. His anti-church rhetoric, followers of Garnichuk explain the fact that "you can find another place for the construction of the temple, and there are many such places in the area and they only want to save the last green corner in Ochakovo."
Demagogy protest activists that "we are not against the temple, we are against the place" well known. The temple is transferred to a new place and the same people who appear by the "locals" begin to invent and invent, why the temple cannot be built and in a new place. Now we hear from Garnachuk, and from the group of his support on the Internet, weeping the lie that the temple will destroy the park, will interfere with children and old men. This is a lie and deception! The territory on which it is planned to build a temple is very small, she has long been chosen by "doggies", as a platform for dogs walking, there is no park and a square with children's sites and leisure shops, children and old men are walking there for the reason that you can get dirty in Dog feces. The temple will be a spiritual center for rescue adults and children, there will be a wonderful garden and a playground, and not a reinforced concrete fence and the asphalt territory (this is another lie of the "marsh" deputy).
In addition, protest initiators are alleged on behalf of all residents of the district. On the site of Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye, a resident of this area Igor Grubin wrote a comment on an article that calls to protest against the construction of the temple. We give it completely:
"You have a very strange position. First, on what basis do you make loud statements on behalf of all residents of Ochakovo? You are against the construction of the temple, but this is your subjective, and the wrong opinion. If you consider yourself Ivanov, the kinship is not remembered and you don't care, the church or mosque, why did you imagine the same inhabitants of our area? Do not consider all brainless rams that will dance under your duff. Secondly, judging by your articles, you do not know either your history, nor the history of our people, our city and our area. Previously, Moscow was called the city of "Forty forty", we had so many temples that foreigners specially come to Moscow for the holidays to listen to the bell ringing. In Moscow, it's not just a district, but every street had before my temple. As for ecology, green corner and recreational zone, as you write. It has long been scientifically proven that the bell ringing cleans the atmosphere from pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and even from radiation! One example: in the Chernobyl radioactive zone, from where the population is evacuated, the churches remained in which people who refused to move, mainly retirement age. In these churches, scientific scientists specially arrived. Employees with dosimeters and what is surprising: inside the temples and in the territory of the church fence, there is no radiation at all, although the devices are excavated outside them! Even more surprisingly, the parishioners of these temples did not find any signs of radiation sickness, although they feed mainly from their gardens. The Orthodox church not only is favorably affecting the environment, he still restores the "spiritual" ecology, did you ever think about it? More will be believers - the patients will be clinic and hospitals, the level of crime, drunkenness and drug addiction, suicides will decrease, especially among young people. Moreover, the Asians - migrant workers will be less in our area, because the Orthodox Temple is the most important, key element of our Russian, national habitat. You write: "In the area you need polyclinics and fock, kindergartens," but if you are so talent for the green zone around the pond, you yourself contradict: another clinic does not prevent the green zone? It is necessary to be blind and deaf, so far not to understand the meaning of the Orthodox faith and the church for our people. All our disasters of both the people and a separate person (war, revolution, hunger, epidemics, etc.) - the investigation of the waste from the path that God gave the Russian people is to be the keeper of the Orthodox faith, the whole story is our confirmation. "

Patriarch Kirill, speaking to the participants of the VII International Festival "Vera and Word", said that protests against the construction of churches in the parks are mainly organized by opposition politicians and opponents of the Orthodox Church - sectarians and pagans. These people, according to the Patriarch, are not interested in the protection of the parks themselves, and the "theme of green plantings is used" they are in their own interests.
Patriarch separately mentioned the protesters against the cutting of the Park Peathanka: "Today, these people are struggling with the temple with the same bitterness, but with a cross. So maybe it was originally not the protection of the territory, not the protection of the park, but the struggle with this symbol of Christianity? So they dropped the masks. We cannot go on the people who, according to ideological reasons, hate the images of the Cross of the Lord, "concluded Patriarch.
Recall that in 2016 there were loud conflicts around construction in Russia orthodox churches. Residents of the North-West of Moscow against the deforestation of a peatman park, where the Temple of the ROC is being built. The project is part of the program "200 churches", in which from 2010 in Moscow plans to build 14 new churches.
In Novorossiysk residents against the construction of the temple near memorial complex Small land. Conflicts around the construction of Orthodox churches lead to an increase in anti-carotence in society, - in March, the Owl Information and Analytical Center.
Experts of the Center to analyze protests against the construction of new temples in park areas in several parts of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ryazan, Anapa, Yekaterinburg, Novokuznetsk, Novorossiysk, Smolensk, Saratov, and in the Moscow region Balashikha and Obninsk of the Kaluga region.
We present a complete decoding of speech Patriarch Kirill:
Mostly there are opposition moods associated with the construction of temples, due to the protection of parks, squares. Although not always, not only. We came across a powerful protest organized by some rich woman who said: "Here you want to build a temple here, and I will not give you." - "And why?" - "And because for two years now here is a bright Cayenne Porsche." Surprisingly, yes? It would seem that some kind of stupidity, an empty place, a playground, she was accustomed, she sees her car out of the windows. So what do you think? This woman was actively actively worked, and some protest sentiments began, then it all, of course, was overcome, but with resistance collided.
Sometimes it is necessary to move on a helicopter, you are flying and seeing wonderful landscapes - reborn our temples in the suburbs.
But basically uses the theme of green plantings, although not only. I would like to say that throughout our history, temples were built in the most beautiful places. And what would happen if our pious ancestors did otherwise? We would generally have a street face. Now you go around the villages, or sometimes I have to move on a helicopter, you are flying and seeing wonderful landscapes - converted our temples in the Moscow region, in the near, in the far near Moscow. This is the face of the country, it is really beauty. That's if someone will ride in these places and watch that our tourists are that foreign, they will pay attention to this, this is the face of the country, the face of the people, it reflects the cultural tradition, a spiritual tradition. In addition, adorns the landscape.
This is also the urban building. You take these impersonal new areas. Just Saltykov-Shchedrin. And how to live in these impersonal areas? There is nothing, no artistic dominant. If suddenly you see the temple, it all changes at once. The temple affects the environment.
Therefore, a normal person, not charged ideologically and politically, he, of course, will not take part in this if he does not touch him. And that's all starts, of course, in those groups of people who pursue their specific goals who have nothing to do with the protection of the park or with the protection of some other place, but then the topic "But where will we walk?". Yes, they explain to them, the park is large, and the place is small, and walk around the park. No, we want to walk in this place.
Or another argument. No, we will be against the temple, because you will carry the dead people here, here our children walk, we do not want children to see the dead. Clear. Yes, we are talking, but not so often deceased bring, firstly. On the other hand, it's not a bad child to enter into contact and with this reality, for upbringing.
Then they say sometimes sometimes so that the bells at 5 am will call. Do not call the bell. We are not calling at 5 am. Yes, and at 10 if you call, then only on Sunday. And sometimes some institutions are asked to call us smaller, so we call the smaller. Artificial arguments.
There are opponents of the Orthodox Church. Basically, these are representatives of the sectarian communities, the pagan communities.
And now that everything is worth it. Different things are standing. Someone simply uses in terms of political struggle. We know at least two political partieswhich are actively involved in protest moods. I do not think that it helped them in elections, by the way. I want everyone to hear me now. But there were hopes. Not justified.
There are opponents of the Orthodox Church. Basically, these are representatives of the sectarian communities, the pagan communities. Here I will tell you a very brief history of the construction of the Cathedral in the city of Kaliningrad. You know that the majestic cathedral is built on the main square, here is where the parades, demonstrations. And there stood at the beginning of Wilhelm, then Lenin, everything was there. And just the place on which the cathedral is worth now, there was a huge flower bed, a rosary.
And in the nineties, confusion was in the souls of Kaliningraders. Someone said that Kalinigrad had long been sold to the Germans that it was not necessary to associate the future with him. There was an outflow of even the population from Kaliningrad. And to me, as in Metropolitan Kaliningrad, people began to apply with requests - you will do something, affect, well, so it was like that, so it became scary in Kaliningrad.
And then I spoke on television and said we need to build a cathedral, because all the cult buildings in Kaliningrad, who used the Orthodox Church, these are former chickens Lutheran. We have a little converted them, restored from the ruins, but this is not our Russian architecture.
And he said that in order for the Cathedral to become a symbol of the city, which means, a symbol of the Russian city, we need to build it in the center. And he said, at what place, at the place of this flower bed, next to the main square.
Well, the reaction was, by the way, very good. Although the authorities frightened and say, you know, no, it is better there, there is a park in remoteness. I say no, here it is necessary to build here if you want to remove the tension, change the cultural appearance of the city. Well, the authorities were so not very configured to go to meet, and then I suggested a referendum. Let's say, I will conduct a referendum of urban. And considered, the referendum is expensive, they decided to conduct a deep sociological analysis, a survey. The result is 74% for the construction of the temple in this place. And the authorities decided to build. Okay.
They built not the authorities, we built. This is a whole story, as we built a cathedral, I will not talk about it now. But the fact is that they gave consent. And here for bookmarking the stone on this place, I decided to bring the cross large and put it. And we moved from the acting cathedral, so to speak, the cathedral, a small church, to the place of bookmarks through the city center of the congestion, carrying this cross, large, 6 meters. We go on the main street, and suddenly there was a group, a man of forty, with distorted malicious people, they spat, shouting, stamped. Devilry.
And they tell me, look, this communists arrange everything. I say, stop-stop, it is not a communist, so the communists do not lead themselves. This is a completely different public. And then it turned out, it was another public, it was sectarians that do not tolerate the image of the cross. We put a cross, after three days he was burned. We made a 12-meter cross from metal, which stood until we put a temporary temple.
So, maybe it was originally not the protection of the territory, not the protection of the park, but the struggle that's it with this symbol of Christianity? So they dropped the masks.
Now I would like to go to the case about the peatience. As you know, events unfolded there, very terrible. And we agreed with the authorities that we are ready to change the place. Well, well, you want to walk in the park in the park. Although a piece is small, and not very, by the way, so attractive, but God is with him. Yes, let's, chose a place. And the defenders of this place, where the temple had to be built, they say, you know, but let's leave the cross, in memory of everything that is worth, we did, about everything. Today, these people are struggling with the same fiercely with the temple, but with a cross. So, maybe it was originally not the protection of the territory, not the protection of the park, but the struggle that's it with this symbol of Christianity? So they dropped the masks.
Well, and in this case, the corresponding actions on our part should be principled. We cannot go on the people who, according to ideological reasons, hate images of the Cross of the Lord. Moreover, the cross is even present in our state symbols, so it will be wrong to give us a crust of Christ.
