Thus, the Russian Orthodox Church have come a very long way with the people in sorrow and joy, experiencing a thousand emotions. And now it is filled in the hearts and minds of the Slavic people. religion in Russia, it is a support of the soul, a support spirit and history and architecture. It is culture, art and aesthetics. The Russian Orthodox Church is both a Museum and a gallery. The Russian Orthodox Church is not only a religion for the Russian people but a war and love. It is revolt, revolution, and counterrevolution. It is cemetery. And religion is also wisdom and mother. Briefly speaking, the Russian religion is not only one faith, it is the breath of the people. In another word, It is life of the people and all this together.
The Russian Orthodox Church in Russia was in itself the personification of protection of the Fatherland and repentance. And it was revival and resurrection. Besides, it was Sofia, the eternal love. Christianity is also a tradition of the people, manners and customs, the fear of losing to your conscience, to themselves. And it is a protest against any violence from outside.
The people themselves have shown for more than 1000 years the spirit of defending the Motherland and protest directly, I think. And in parallel, people tried indirectly and wisely to identify through the great writers and thinkers of Russia other humanistic and cultural values such as repentance, rebirth and resurrection and the idea Sofia. This seems to be the beauty and greatness of Russian Orthodox Church and its spiritual specifics, despite all the “shortcomings and sins” that it has committed and has been committing since ancient times, and now, of course.
