“You have devoted years to selfless service to the Russian Orthodox Church, to the consistent and resolute defense of its values and ideals. Your tireless efforts to preserve the unique historical, cultural and spiritual heritage of Russia, to support the institution of family and in the upbringing of the young generation have earned you the most sincere respect. And, of course, I should stress the incredible contribution you are making to fostering the interfaith and inter-ethnic dialogue, in strengthening peace and public concord in our country,” the message read as cited by the press service. On Saturday, the Kremlin said that Putin had signed the Executive Order on awarding Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia the Order For Services to the Fatherland, I degree, which is awarded for the outstanding contributions to the state.

…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.
