"Russian World" by Patriarch Kirill: Russian-Orthodox project of the revival of "Holy Russia"

Abstract

What is happening now in Ukraine is, in essence, the further implementation of the Stalinist plan to deprive Ukrainians of their historical memory, the continuation of the "Stalinist-Bolshevik" ethnocide. Not surprisingly, monuments began to appear in us as "the leader of the peoples", and the holiday of the Victory Day became a public holiday "the triumph of Stalin's ideas" and the Communist Party ideology "united and indivisible". Instead, dates such as the Day of Unity of Ukraine, the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Holodomor and political repressions (not to mention other, no less important memorable dates) are, to put it mildly, unpopular to the authorities.
