Despite the fact that the mere mention of the Russian world has become in the Ukraine, in the framework of the existing political doctrine, almost a crime, we will continue quietly, calmly, but firmly - to testify of this truth, the truth of the Kievan baptismal font, the creation of our ancestors, the whole of the East Slavic civilization, which we conventionally call the Russian world ", - promised the Patriarch. The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church also believes that with the weakening role of the Russian language, complicating communication between Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, and many other peoples. He said that in the "Tale of bygone years" has the words " where did the Russian state ", but there is no mention of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus." Do we have the right to serve political sentiment to abandon our history, our ideals, our saints, our monasteries, our worship, our common language?" - finished the head of the ROC.
