The ecumenical round table took place in Helsinki " Christian measurement of human rights ". Religious and cultural figures of Russian-speaking Finland - orthodox, lutherans have stated concern in "crackdown" occuring in Russia. " The person - an image and similarity Divine, therefore we as Christians we can not be indifferent when on our former native land of people pursue for political and religious beliefs, kill journalists or suffrages of people " are broken, - the editor Russian-speaking Internet-magazine Uusi kotimaa (" the New native land ") Nikolay Risak has set the fashion to discussion. The need to state a Christian estimation to problems with human rights in Russia, for the first time has united behind one debatable table of representatives of all religious denominations of Russian-speaking Finland. " We at all do not call people on barricades. It would be in the contradiction with the Gospel. But when old men, and children huge muzhiks beat women cudgels, Christians should become an alive board between police and people to stop violence ", - the producer of broadcasting company IRR TV Kerava Andrey Motynga has told. In opinion of the representative of the Finnish Orthodox Church (FOC) about. Victor Maksimovskogo the noncritical attitude of Russian Orthodox Church to infringements of human rights in Russia, including to prosecutions of journalists and excess of force by authorities at dispersal " marches not consent " in many respects speaks centuries-old traditions of submission in Russia Churches to the state. " The church and the state in Russia always have been very closely connected - so was at communists when fathers worked on KGB, at tsars when the church was only department of the bureaucratic machine, and the same tradition revives now ".

    But as speak, how many people - are so much opinions, and impossible to judge the country while there itself will not visit, therefore if want to visit this country you should make out theRussian visa and to address for the help the Russian embassy.

    Gathered circle a table have expressed concern in attempts to change universal inherently its Orthodoxy " an ethnographic substitute " when the present Russian can it is considered only orthodox, and on representatives of other faiths look as at " agents of the West ". Cases of pogroms молельных at home, interdictions on the free sermon for Protestants, cases official an arbitrariness, it is frequent at active participation of orthodox fathers, became, unfortunately, the sad Russian validity. " Though in Finland the lutheranism is dominating religion, but our Church never tried to take advantage of the position to interfere or somehow to restrain other faiths. At us even пятидесятники have the status of the state faith, let alone orthodox though the last here and it is totaled all about 1 percent of the population ", - lutheran pastor Vladimir Blaginin has told to " the New native land ".

    Participants of a round table have noted, that the Christian religion forbids believing to participate in antigovernmental activity as " there is no authority not from the God " and the Christ learned " to give render unto caesar the things that are caesar's ". Nevertheless, during the periods of history when secular authorities pursue people for belief, the Church quite often interceded for гонимых. " In honour of pastor Bonhofera, taken part antihitlerite resistance at lutherans it is composed and the special religious hymn " is executed in churches, - pastor Vladimir Blaginin has informed the author. Orthodox the father about. Victor Maksimovsky has expressed opinion, that present strengthening in Russia authoritative tendencies at full blessing this process РПЦ, in many respects grows out a low level of culture and absence at Russian people of a habit to live in conditions of freedom. " Pay attention - at us in Helsinki few of policemen, эвакуаторов machines or people in the military form. The state trusts the citizens, and people reciprocate, behave fairly and decently. And in Russia the state, as a rule, suppressed the person.

    The person was considered as object of the serf or a state system. In mentality of the Russian person, especially at communists the habit has strongly taken root, that the general, means - a drawn game, that it is necessary to throw, steal, to not pay the state for travel in every possible way. It generates response of the state in the form of strengthening police oppression. In Finland anything is not present it ", - the editor the Internet-magazine " the New native land " Nikolay Risak has joined conversation. Confirming to the theory, Nikolay has lead the Moscow visitor to the underground. To my extreme surprise, there was not turnstiles of sufficing "hares" for what has got, polices, even thick тетенек leading supervision over passengers. The unique controller - a column with щелкой where it is necessary to insert a plastic card - the travel card. And there and then beside - wide sidewalk without any obstacles: go-who you want, though the fair passenger, though " a hare. " The input absolutely free, the state entirely is necessary on honesty of the citizens. As on мощеных streets Helsinki not looking at absence of police, cleanliness - ideal. Here really, purely not there where clean, and there where do not litter. The problem of Russian Orthodox Church, in opinion of figures of a round table " Christian measurement of human rights " in many respects consists in restoring in the Russian person an image Divine, to help it to become the high-grade person. Not looking at all that practically каждодневно this image is defamed the autocratic officials corrupted by GAI officers.

    Result of a round table " Christian measurement of human rights " became arrangements on active ecumenical cooperation between the Russian Christians, belonging to different faiths. The edition of interChristian ecumenical magazine is planned. Also participants of a round table have promised and henceforth closely to trace development of a situation with a freedom of worship and human rights in Russia.
