to heaven, to the flower garden, i’m proud of her, i started going to drawing classes, and i put my paintings at the exhibition, do music, do art, it’s very cool, i love you all, i love fishing very much, because there is a volga in rybensk , be happy and find good in every second of your life. in a foreign land i religiously observe the native custom of antiquity, i release a bird into the wild on the bright holiday of spring, i became available for consolation, why should i grumble at god when i could give freedom to at least one creature. bestow alexander

sergeevich pushkin about the feast of the annunciation, about which we gathered our thoughts today. hello, friderikav, reflexologist, proteria pavel velikanov, associate professor of the moscow theological academy, i’m vladimir ligoida, let’s begin. listen, well, since i started with birds from our everything, alexander sergeevich, where do the customs come from and what does it mean? father pavel? vladimirovich, have you ever flown in a dream? it's starting. flew, flew, but not high, not high, low, yes, yes, so this is a bird, in any religious tradition it looks like fire, because only fire is only birds, they take off from the ground and overcome the natural laws according to which everything goes down, everything spreads out on the ground, and so it’s not just like that, in the biblical tradition a bird, and to be even more specific, a dove , has always symbolized...

such condescension of god to man, therefore the figure of the bird itself, from the point of view of the people's religious consciousness, it had a special status, and the bird is a kind of opportunity for man to break out of the conditioning of his material life, so this tradition, the tradition itself of letting go, it ’s not just about the fact that some bird was kept somewhere there and... then they decided to give it freedom, after all, christian life, it was very pragmatic, it did not allow any special excesses , and the discussion here, of course, was primarily about the fact that freedom was granted to those birds that were in captivity, not because they were simply caught, but because under normal conditions they would not have survived, this primarily concerned patients from wounded, there wounded animals, that is, that is, those who couldn’t fly there to... those who, without

human help, would have died themselves, definitely died, but it was, as i understand it, a pre-christian custom, which later, in fact, was like so many customs that took root among the people and persisted , of course, it extends to christian times, but now it has received a completely understandable symbol, this is a symbol, probably, of some very strong feat, the movement of man towards god, with this gift of freedom, somehow it really resonates with the fact that you read. not at all only god comes to meet man, but man also comes to meet god, in general, the annunciation is, first of all, about this , that without the oncoming movement nothing would happen, that’s what we’ll talk about, in addition, because the dove symbol of the holy spirit, frederick, do you have some kind of, well, i don’t know, personal attitude towards this custom, letting the birds go, i don’t, i think it’s some kind of external rite, but of course, like father paul says, this is si... you say,

this is the holy spirit who descends on us on on christ, baptism, and the holy spirit, of course, with the archangel gabriel, when he meets the mother of god, this, well, let’s talk about this, yes, the very word annunciation, good news is the gospel, yes, let’s just remind you again, that the gospel is translated from greek as good news, that is, we meet with the beginning of the gospel on this holiday. it’s not just that it is said in the church hymn that the day of our salvation is the main thing, yes, that is, this is the beginning, that is , today, today is the beginning of our salvation, yes, yes, this process begins, now - i just thought that the very movement of this letting go, because it makes us seriously think about how wrongly and, probably, misunderstood faith today, yes, that faith from the point of view of... such an ordinary person,

this is in the first place first of all, a restriction is, first of all, some kind of strict framework that a person owes himself, don’t go there, these are some kind of complete restrictions, but in fact the main thing. the movement of faith is precisely letting go, you need to allow god to be, you just need to let yourself go god, at the annunciation, it seems to me that this is very clearly manifested, because what happens when you speak, the archangel gabriel appears and says to the virgin mary, who at that moment is doing needlework, she is weaving, a virety in her hands, she says: “hail, full of grace " god be with you." after this it follows...

she shouldn’t have entered, and now the most interesting thing is, they tell her that you will now be pregnant, you need to take the next step in order to clearly understand that the price of her consent, this humble servant of the lord, be it for me according to your word, a person signs his own death warrant, in the eyes of society, in

the eyes of society, in the eyes of pious jewish law, that is, her husband would have to be legally handed over to the relevant authorities. as an adulterer, how she became pregnant, when he knows that they had nothing, this drama, of course, it unfolds in a completely different way the very feat of faith, that faith is not just the capitulation of a conventional person, well, well, i will believe, you have nothing more to do, this is huge, a powerful message precisely from an active position, this is an active position, a person understands, the mother of god understands that she is being asked to take a leap of faith, because she is not... she, she, firstly, has never been pregnant, does not know what it is at all this, well, she ’s actually 16 years old, she enters space completely unknown, absolutely unknown, she doesn’t know how joseph will react to this, and we know that joseph had hesitations there, he wanted to let her go there and so on, she didn’t understands what will happen in the family, and this

, after all, family relations is also very important, it’s impossible to hide anything there, she doesn’t know what will happen next, but she closes her eyes and takes this powerful step of faith. so trusts, trusts god, what he says, may it be according to your will, and this is an ineffable trust, and i think that it is our task to trust god, even if we do not understand, vladyka anthony of surovsky once says: “lord, i i don’t understand, but i trust.” i

think that a lot has happened in our lives that can say: “i don’t understand, but i trust.” but in order to trust, we must then know him; we cannot trust him. to someone which we don’t know, that’s why it’s important trust, and faith, what you’re talking about is fidelity, this trust, well, it’s based on love for god on knowledge of god and trust, even if it’s painful, scary, as it was it’s scary, as you say, but trust, amaze trust to the end, because the blessed one this year coincides with the veneration of the cross with us, and it’s the same thing that she trusts and even with christ she trusts her son. too, but we are so far from this, i think, well, you said very important words, i look at this because this is our task

, the only thing that i would like to say here is maybe to dwell on the fact that faith does not mean trusting everything that you do not understand, yes, after all, as you said, to someone very very definitely. we are talking specifically about trusting god in a situation where god’s path is incomprehensible to us, the most important path of god, which is not clear, and which is revealed to the mother of god, yes, this is that god will become a man, that is, a creator.

we're starting to slip, well, let's be honest, we don't know why we believe or we don’t believe, we can’t fully understand, because these are processes that occur on some such deep, hidden core of a person, the core is not in the physical heart, precisely at some kind of center of everything, where our mind does not reaches, but the heart - thank you very much, i wanted to i just wanted to ask you, we don’t know why. we believe, i know, this heart knows, it’s impossible to analyze, but

this confidence that god exists, most of all, even if we talk to ourselves, his voice for him, longing for him, it’s as if there was a meeting, but it continues deeper and deeper, i think that we know this very specifically, we know that i know that i believe in someone, not just but something there is not certain, someone and it's a personality. and a personal relationship with god is extremely important, otherwise we cannot stand what is happening on earth, this is personal, he is a friend, he is a savior, then a judge, but first of all a friend is a savior, if he can, as you say, inhabit in a girl, out of compassion for us, then you can bow to him, because to such a god, so much, to such a god you can bow and you can thank the mother of god, because without her it would not have been possible if she had not...

believed for life, and now try to move me away from this, even in the case of the mother of god we see that in the momentary the moment of introduction, at the moment of meeting, yes.

and to prepare for this, what it will be, i don’t think it will be like this, i don’t think so, you know, i recently asked one of my interlocutors if you know yourself well, and he answered very interestingly, he said, i know myself well, the fallen one, here i am horizontally, that is, i know my passions, my weaknesses, i know where i am afraid, cowardly, and so on, but vertically, i know myself in relations with god very poorly, and i know myself endlessly. it seems to me that the question here is not simple, well, somehow god loves you, this, this is not enough, god, and as augustine says on the first page of the confession: god, you created us for yourself, and our heart will not rest until will not find you, i know that my mother loves me, but my mother is not god, yes, that is, the question here is, what does it mean to find god, this is to know yourself in

this vertical, it’s not like that, i agree with you that the person says, i know my sinfulness, but i don’t know the depth, and vladyka anthony says that the trouble now, the essence of sinfulness, that we live superficially, so that we don’t look inside ourselves, not psychological , but through this layer of psychology, which i also don’t like, to recognize this kingdom of god, which is in each of us, yes, it is ephram sira who says that the kingdom of god is invested in each of us and. and the task of life is to dig so as to find it, which will take a long time to drive, quietly, bicycle, bicycle, that's right, i work in the circus, in which room, tell the cleaners, i clean the cages, the youngest city of the golden ring, ivanova, ivanova, that's right,

the city of brides, my life, visual! i know yours, i’m even singing something there, i’m premiering, i love my country on saturday on the first anatoly konstantinovich, give me mario as a wife , you can give it to me, it’s a good idea to collect a dowry with your dad, we have embroidered shirts here, it’s so beautiful, an amazing ritual of dressing has been preserved in the vologda province the bride was placed. on the table decorated with a rich tablecloth and her friends helped her put on her wedding attire, who came to us? so who, who? young, bring out our beauty, well , the groom, there will be a wedding, we quarreled, we believed, we quarreled, we believed, we are having a wedding, in

the first graffiti in sao paulo everywhere, it’s true that you can choose any place in the city and draw what you want , if you start drawing at some police station, then of course they will fly you in, they won’t put you in prison, but they will give you quite a fine, what kind of men are here in brazil, very attentive and caring, it’s clear that sometimes someone’s husband can go to the left, our blood is hot, but our own woman, she’s always... alone, i see that you mostly have women working here, we just want so that the women's coffee business develops equally with the men's. brazil, coffee is simply bliss. the lives of others. premiere. on sunday on the first. today we gathered our thoughts on the occasion

of the annunciation holiday pavel velikanov, fredernik adegraf, and i am vladimir ligoida. let's continue. let's get back to the holiday. here, to the response of the mother of god, she understands that this is, in general, faith as a sacrifice, she makes the greatest sacrifice, herself, she sacrifices herself , her whole destiny, her whole future, that is , this expression of the servant of the lord, this is what it means, right there in our consciousness, well, right away, oh, slave, this is terrible, how bad, but in fact there is a very deep meaning, a slave, he is not himself... but this also means that he is not alone, he is not empty, he is with someone , that’s how in archaic cultures, in the middle ages, we know that a woman is a man, right?

more precisely, everything is getting tougher there, the movement begins from fear, yes, fear a person is afraid of going to hell for his sins, fear of punishment, then hope for a reward, then simply

because it’s good, well, that is, therefore, be like children, that a child has this, and he went through different stages of movement, that is, here it seems to me, terminologically, a little obedience from the ear, this is a very important point, we hear what they want from us, look, even in ours. case when the archangel says: “mother of god, she doesn’t immediately say what that she, what will happen to me according to your word." at first, well, it can be interpreted in different ways, but she at least asks a question, she says: how will it be if i don’t know my husband, how will i have a child without a husband, she reasons and one might say, even in some sense objects, says that this is impossible, just as sarah once laughed there, yes, why do they say the annunciation, as a meeting of the old... new testaments, and the central event of sacred history, the old testament ended, yes, but if sarah laughed and didn’t believe that she would have a child in her old age, otherwise the mother of god believed,

yes, having received this answer, archangel, this is also in general - that is, she does not immediately agree, yes, it goes through some kind of heart everything, she accepts, she does it with her own good will, and after that she says, let it be done according to my word... i asked her and conveyed this news, she said: it is, it will be done, no, that is, there is a certain extent, it seems to me in general , the extent in the relationship between

man and man, man-god, she very important, here, too, there is such a length, during which she seems to assimilate this request from the archangel, maybe it’s her sobriety that amazes me, yes, she, she is not in emotions. she says: this is sober, this, but the bishop speaks about it, this is the main feature about orthodoxy, sober, inspiration, but not tightness, she says there, not ecstasy, yes, this is just treh, let it be so calm, yes, calm, sobriety , i think this is important, this is always visible in her, it seems to me that even at the cross there is sobriety, she doesn’t, she doesn’t cry, she doesn’t he says, he is for what, why, she stands, silently, i think that this is... well, i would argue with you about orthodox chants, especially the cry of the virgin mary, such a very beautiful hymn, so i think this is a transfer of state, yes,

that’s it- nevertheless, the experience was strong, first of all, dear friederike, i want to tell our dear viewers that bishop anthony, who often sounds from the lips of friederike, we are talking about metropolitan anthony of surge, our wonderful theologian, pastor, who has been with us for many years served in london and frederick. knew the bishop well and often refers to his words, just in case, maybe not everyone knows, but now we know this, we have come to an interesting topic, which you know in academic courses, at least in secular universities, is called female images in the gospel, yes, but indeed, there seem to be few of them there, even the mother of god is few compared to the apostles, but look, the first good news is for a woman, and the mother of god is understandable to a special, very special woman. but nevertheless, then the risen christ appears as a wife the first myrrh-bearer, and also not just there is nothing accidental, nothing is just a step back

, who was actually on the cross? i was always shocked by this, yes, we say, here is the traitor judas, but they betrayed, were afraid, everyone betrayed one way or another, well, the apostle john fled from christ, they fled, yes, peter, peter, the stone, yes, he denies three times, yes , everyone was scared, everyone is terrified, terrified, yes, and the women are all at the cross, and you know, it seems to me, because they are not from the mind, about whom we were talking, because the heart, if the heart, there is compassion. then you stay, but if it’s like analyzing, as they said, yes, these are analyzes from the mind, then it doesn’t get tired, you don’t get tired, yes, when it’s scary, but if there is love, then you get tired, because it’s more important, and that vladyka also says, sobriety is not me with my experiences at the center, but god, everything is directed towards god, and god has

the matter. all her direction is towards her son, but now at the beginning at the cross, then you forget about fear, because fear speaks to itself, if there is a movement towards god, then it is different accent, well, a different center in a different one, of course it is, but you know, it’s a rare case when i agree with father paul, because of course sobriety, yes, absolutely right, but a weapon will pierce your soul, the mother of god says, this is of course the greatest suffering , that is, she.

i know, in addition to this i wanted to read a piece of the poem, and the annunciation of sergei sergenvich overentsev, all life is contained in a single point, as if in a burning spark, everything is collected in the heart and life has flowed away from it, from whitened fingers, from the whole body composition, life departed and turned into prayer, well , this is a question of prayer, well, somehow. it’s grabbed , but it seems to me that i managed to grab it , all that remains is to pray, because nothing is clear, life has moved away, nothing is clear, but it turned into prayer, prayer is standing before god, then it’s not prayers, words not in words, but inner silence to stand, because that there is nothing else left and go deep into yourself, in the depths of yourself to stand before god, this is a prayer, yes it seems to me, yes, of course, of course, well at least absolutely says this. i also wanted

to turn to the icon, father paul, because if i understand correctly, we always have the annunciation at the royal gates, why? because the royal doors are like a border, between what is above and what is below, between heaven, represented in the altar with the sacrament of the body and blood of christ, with the throne, with this invisible presence of angels, archangels, all the heavenly powers and the church as such, a meeting of people around christ. this thin border, it just constantly opens and closes, it also has its own closed, well, some kind of beauty, yes, that it is not always open, there is also some kind of extension, it is always open at easter, it is always open at easter, yes, but this can also be, it speaks about our soul, sometimes open, sometimes closed, no, yes, because it is alive, everything is alive, it somehow moves a little, it is never fixed, stable, new speculations in... the circle

of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the plan is such that to say that russia is an irresponsible player, why are such stuffing dangerous? an old question for anyone profitable? ukraine fired, they were trying to provoke a nuclear disaster. new fakes about how the russians allegedly stole everything. ukrainians should not see how russia is rebuilding mariupol, so andryushchenko and others should show them how russia is taking something from there. and how miraculously a civilian in ovdeevka found salvation. and my own sister, they wrote to us that my brother died. antifake, premiere, tomorrow on the first. calm down, comrade, we are coming to you, professor, on this matter, interrupted, interrupted, you can say whatever comes to their mind, whatever whatever, you're painfully oppressing me, daddy, what kind of daddy am i to you, my god, i'm only now beginning to understand what can come out of our little ball, and now we understand what

kind of ... shining nonsense, what, i'm worse people, well, i was married, i don’t care, azina, an innocent girl, it’s good that i woke up, take everything and divide it, that’s what i thought, dog... from the heart the famous film adaptation of the story by mikhail bulgakov on saturday on the first, he is still dancing, dancing, the will of zhenya belausov, the battle for the inheritance of the star of the nineties is reaching the finish line, that’s all participants in the conflict in our studio, you filed a lawsuit, why does a person write a will at 30 years old. roman is sure that the entire inheritance was once unfairly given to sister christina. i wanted to cheat, i would have come from the very beginning, formalized everything about myself, why is the singer’s son sure that the star’s widow is deceiving him, and the document could have been forged, i want to find out the truth, dad’s handwriting, you know, i’ll be honest, no, but you were getting divorced officially, it turned out that the court

had divorced, can you imagine, 26 years later it was such a blow for me, exclusive with dmitry borisov, the premiere on saturday at the first, when you were entering into an inheritance, you told the notary there: that there are still potential heirs, you see, i was in such a state, the person i loved died, probably the only love for her life , protereus pavel velikanov, friederikagraph, i’m vladimir ligoyd, and today we gathered our thoughts about the feast of the annunciation, we continue, i know, i thought that maybe it wouldn’t be obvious to someone, i wanted to talk about it, that this is the famous and known to many, even rather, through the secular world of ave maria music, that’s just latin: i looked on the internet and they write a catholic prayer, well , you could probably say so, the second part of the virgin mary, hail mary, yes, this is what is in the orthodox church, and these are the words, actually

archangel, yes, with which we started today, here it is, i wonder what kind of voice the archangel had, yes, interesting, yes, probably very much, i don’t know, i’m afraid we definitely won’t be able to reproduce it, we won’t be able to, yes, but here interesting, yes, what is this - what is called a cultural branch, yes, that a whole huge musical history grows out of this, and from the practice of prayer, from the gospel, from prayer, that is, as we see that the entire culture in which we live is permeated with these deep christian meanings, on the one hand, on the other hand, how important it is to understand where it comes from, yes, yes, while the message of this prayer is preserved even without words, it has already been so absorbed by culture. the very music of this prayer, which even unconditionally still continues to convey to us these lofty meanings of the annunciation in what sense without words? well when it’s just music without words, singing, it

still retains this special tonality, the tonality of the annunciation, we have the same mother of god, which is sung at every festive service every saturday evening, sunday morning, this is also... very, i would say, one of the most favorite prayers is probably still here among the church people: our father, hail mary , symbol of faith, everything, the minimum rule of prayer, well, i agree that this is a favorite song-singing, but sometimes it's just a habit, i think if you know what it is there is a whole oblivion inside, it is so easily forgotten, because we are already getting used to it, this is a danger, it seems to me, habit is the most important enemy of spiritual life, he wrote. saint theophan the recluse, and of course, we constantly stumble over it, yes, well, so to speak, in the first superficial slice, of course, but if we look a little deeper, in principle, a person is a habit, we

do what we want we are accustomed to what we get used to, yes, as christian asceticism tells us, not the facts of habit as such, but what it gives rise to in us, but in what, when... in fact, some of our aspirations towards evil become a sin when they become a habit, yes, when, when a thought appears, shouldn’t i do something, yes, it goes on to say , and immediately drank, yes, when you remove all reasoning, attempts to fight, when it has become a habit, but in the same way there is a habit of goodness, yes there is, another thing is that i completely agree with you when you say these words not understanding what is behind them, so today we tried to talk, that is, when we pronunciation

boundless and absolute trust in god, it shows the mother of god that this in our history was confirmed by those white handkerchiefs that saved the church in the most turbulent years of persecution, because a woman really thinks with her heart, first of all, this is precisely the female characteristic of thinking with her heart, and a man, he listens somewhere to the heart, but still prudence, reason in him often... becomes such a powerful brake and secondly,

there is no higher virtue for a woman than inconspicuousness, than modesty, than this inner silence in which a woman can hear the voice of god, the mother of god in this sense, she is of course a wonderful role model for all women and men too, yes, i really wanted to join in, but frederica, what about you? i think this is a task... men too, what are you talking about, it may be more difficult, but maybe, maybe men are more willing to take risks, and more courageous, maybe, i don’t know, it’s simple, but speaking about a woman , i think this is an opportunity to open up and trust, as you said, but also compassion, silently compassion, the sobriety that we talked about, not in emotions, but to stand where it is difficult, where there is conflict, where it hurts. to be the presence of god, and this is only

possible when the heart is open when there is love for god, and i think that this is the essence, but this is not always visible in women now, because they want to be like men externally, the internal state is such a feat, this is also a feat for men, so what we were talking about is to go deep, to look inside. yourself, don’t be afraid to be alone with yourself, and from there, yes, go to beloved, yes, to god, but to people too, i think this is important, thank you very much, you know, dear friends, i have the last question for you today, and it may be too general, but still important, that’s how in your opinion, it’s best to spend this day, it’s a holiday, yes, but here’s a church holiday, we have some kind of holiday every day, and on the calendar, and the church body...

the body of the church body, if i’m talking about myself, oh my parish, about my church life first of all, but uh, of course, forgive me, i’ll lower everything a little to more everyday realities, it’s wonderful on this day to go somewhere into nature, release the birds, maybe not even let the birds out, but just feel the spring, after all , the annunciation is such, i would say, the key holiday of spring, otherwise yes . to feel that being, nature, it

really is not, is in some kind of endless alienation from everything that happens in the church, from what happens at the service, well, something like this, as it seems to you, well, of course , to be at the liturgy, but silence as deep as possible, and for me this is not the same amount that... i will do on this day, but in gratitude to god the mother of god and gratitude to god and christ that they love us so much that they want to be with us, just be glad that this exists, and this is not only about what we talked about, but to give thanks with all our guts, because we would not have known christ, we had a very strong life without this, there was nothing, there was no depth, there was nothing, i think that joy is everything for me, if possible. thank you very much, friederika, reflexologist,

proteor pavel velikanov, associate professor of the moscow theological academy, i am vladimir ligoida, today we gathered our thoughts on the wonderful, bright and joyful holiday of the annunciation. thank you! well, today we have alexander nevsky, a largely mythologized figure, well, a classic example, whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword, this is a great one. naturally i didn’t say this, it’s from the film by ez einstein. and there are a lot of things, so to speak, that do not coincide with the real story. in the old days, in general, alexander nevsky was primarily glorified by the church, not as a warrior, naturally, no one denies his valor,

but first of all his wisdom, patience and even humility were valued, which is why yes, with this figure. we need to understand, well , indeed, there are discussions around alexander nevsky among historians and not only historians, a lot of myths exist, and these myths are difficult to separate from the truth, especially since there are not many sources, this is our task, i think this is the task of historians before all, yes, is to compare all these few data, choose something to paint some consistent picture, such a puzzle, yes with missing details, as usual, happens with historians, but to figure it out, to try to figure out where this is actually a myth and where the truth is, you need to try. hello, this is a historical podcast about russia and the west on the swing of history. pyotr romanov and sergei solovyov are with you, today we are talking about alexander nevsky. well, the times of alexander nevsky were the most difficult and difficult

times for the russian people, because there was disunity, there were numerous principalities between. there will be a lot of bloody events, this disunity that existed then, of course, it greatly helped various kinds of interventionists, because the russians knew how to fight no worse than others, but they fought one by one, that’s why there were a lot of difficult events of that period, there was a threat on both sides, now... we are mostly remembered about the threat of the west and the fact that the forces inspired by the vatican were advancing towards russia, so to speak, but an even more terrible danger threatened from the east, this is a horde, because in those days just a lot of cities were destroyed ,

a significant part of russia fell into slavery, they paid tribute, and so did alexander nevsky... what was inherited, as they say, was inherited, it was not he who created this situation, but when he matured he became, one might say, the governor of novgorod, and then he headed the principality, he had to solve these two problems, the two threats that were approaching russia, the west and the east, he solved them differently, he had an approach.

it’s clear that in the conditions of the fight against the swedes, there was a threat from the west, so, so to speak, from those times, strictly speaking, alexander nevsky first of all, we are a warrior, although if we remember the real story, then of course there are even more...
