Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill believes that the Russian Federation should not push back people who have left the country and scolds them when they realize their mistake. The clergyman stated this in his Christmas interview on the TV channel. “Russia 1”.
“Even if those who left Russia speak somewhere and say something against it, if they come back realizing that they made a mistake, then the Motherland cannot reject them,” the Patriarch said.
According to the clergyman, among the immigrants there are “quite worthy people” who accidentally left either out of fear or in search of comfort, but “were disgraced on the way.” The Patriarch emphasized that he spoke from the position of church minister and that this does not take into account the degree of persons involved in the crime: this is already the prerogative of law enforcement agencies.
Before that Patriarch Kirill statedthat external threats will bypass Russia if its citizens maintain the Orthodox faith.
