He also inspected the Church-led aid operation in Krymsk and presented a local school with vouchers to acquire equipment for its canteen.

The latest Krasnodar floods struck in the small hours of July 7, destroying some 7,200 houses in Krymsk, Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk. They claimed over 170 lives, including at least 150 in Krymsk.

The Russian Church has collected over 14 billion roubles to buy emergency aid items for Krymsk. Its aid operation there is headquartered at the town’s Church of St Michael.

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.
