PRAVMIR. Only 4% of Russian citizens claim to know the dogma of the Holy Trinity.

More than average, the doctrine of the Holy Trinity Orthodox is known by Russian Orthodox faithful—one in ten (9%). These results were shown by a survey conducted by the Research Service “Environment.”

The percentage of those who understand the dogma increases slightly with age: 3% of citizens under 45 and 6% among Russians over 60.

According to the survey, the geographical factor has a significant impact on the knowledge of the dogma. Among residents of cities whose population is more than 1 million, 15% know the dogma, as compared to 0% of residents in towns and villages. And if in the Central Federal District every tenth respondent (10%) knows the dogma, then in the Siberian District, the chance of finding someone who knows the dogma of the Holy Trinity is zero (0%).

1500 people participated in the survey.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
