May 24, 2013

Vladimir Putin congratulated Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia on his Name Day.

The President said, in particular, in his telegram:

“Your truly selfless labour and spiritual guidance stand as an example of devoted service to people, the Russian Orthodox Church, and our homeland.

Under your guidance, the Russian Orthodox Church is developing constructive cooperation with the state authorities, making a major contribution to harmonising interethnic and interfaith relations, working to preserve enduring spiritual, moral, cultural and family values, and educating young people.”
