This was stated by Olga Timofeeva, chairwoman of the State Duma Committee on the development of civil society and issues of public and religious associations, at the press conference dedicated to the opening of the forum. “The war today is not only on the military front, but also on the historical and religious front. They are trying to drive a wedge between Orthodox and Muslims, Jews and Muslims. And what is happening with the canonical Orthodox Church in Ukraine. For many people they simply abolished religion, faith. These difficult challenges are a good reason for us all to come together. “We are waiting for real proposals from the forum on how to change the legislation,” he said.
The most important issue, according to Olga Timofeeva, is parenting: “It is no coincidence that the State Duma adopted laws prohibiting LGBT propaganda (the organization is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and is banned), about support for family values and We make the harshest statements when we see attempts to turn against each other, playing the religious card. I am convinced that our traditional values correspond to our national security. We don’t have a minute: the war continues. for the minds of those who are five, seven, twelve years old today,” he concluded.
3 thousand people will participate in the in-person and online forum. The inauguration will take place on October 22 at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
