This Orthodox faith has established this unity of the Russian world, which has survived for centuries " ? stated in conversation with the newspaper VIEW, political scientist Leonid Polyakov, commenting on the upcoming November 4, the unveiling of a monument to the Baptizer of Russia, Holy equal to the apostles Prince Vladimir.
"in the solemn opening of the monument to Prince Vladimir on 4 November in the capital of Russia you can find a lot of meanings. When Prince Vladimir accepted the conclusion about the choice of faith the baptism of Rus, he asked the entire future path of development of our country, ? stresses the head of the Department of General political science HSE Leonid Polyakov.? Introduction to Christian civilization gave a chance to the disparate East Slavic tribes to unite under one faith And included in the main civilizational trend of the time. Together with the Christianity came to Russia a written language, our culture really got its own language, And of Vladimir the Baptist can be considered the founder of Russian civilization And founder of living code of Russian culture ".
remember, the inauguration of the monument to Prince Vladimir will be held in the national unity Day on November 4 Borovitskaya square in the Russian capital.

Bequeathed by our ancestors unity should be kept, but it is necessary to struggle, - the said Poles.? I recall the words of Vladimir Putin said during a speech at the opening of the Valdai club, where about the fact That Russians And Ukrainians are first separated and then was vented, And this is our fault. It seems to me, the monument to Vladimir the Saint, standing at the walls of the Kremlin, ? reminder about the fact That together with our Eastern Slavic brothers, we have created a great civilization, And our historical fate, it is our duty ? this unity to return."
