"But look at Paris, in the commune ... During the entire nineteenth century a movement, or dreaming of a paradise on earth (since phalanstery), or just down to it (1848, 1849 - now) - evinces bezsilie humiliating to say though that- something positive. In fact, all the same, and Rousseau's dream to recreate the world of mind and re-experience (positivism). It really seems to be sufficient evidence that their bezsilie say a new word - not a random phenomenon. They cut their heads - why? only because it's just easier. say something much more difficult. desire for something is not an achievement. "..." Fire is the enormity of Paris: "It is not possible, because the world perish, for the commune above the happiness of the world and France." But they ( and even many) do not think the enormity of this madness, but rather the beauty. And so the idea of ​​the aesthetic in the new humanity clouded. "..." Really, finally, there is little evidence to prove now that is not created by society, not those paths lead to happiness and from there it is, as hitherto thought. Where is it?
Write many books, and most importantly miss: Christ in the West have lost (due to the fault of Catholicism), and because the West is falling, because the only. The ideal changed, and - as is clear! "

"By the way, a small parallel: a Christian, that is full, supreme, perfect, says:" I must share with the smaller brother of my property, and serve them all. "A kommunar said:" Yes, you must divide with me less and poor, your property and should serve me. "Christian is right, and kommunar be wrong." (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

"The Orthodox Church prays , teaches , blesses , blagodatstvuet and, if necessary , convicts - but it does not dominate , does not regulate life, does not punish the secular punishments , and assumes no responsibility for the secular affairs , sins , mistakes and failures ( in politics, in the economy , science and culture throughout the nation ). its authority is the authority of revelation and love, he is free - and is based on the quality of her faith, her prayers , her teachings and her affairs. LEADS SPIRIT CHURCH , pRAYER aND qUALITY , but not vsepogloscheniem as it tried to make Savonarola in Florence , the Jesuits in Paraguay, and Calvin in Geneva. it emits a living religion , which should be free to enter into life and all living things of the people. religious spirit - anywhere where a person lives and works in any secular case: the art and science, in the State and Commerce , at home and at the plow . It cleans and comprehends all the senses of man, and including the national feeling , a sense of national , religious, ennobled and meaningful - and invisibly nenarochito permeates all human creativity .

" In Russia, people have a soul endless quest , the search for Invisible City of Kitezh , the invisible house. Before opening gave the Russian soul , and there is outlined the horizon in front of her spiritual eyes. Russian soul burns in a fiery search for truth , absolute , divine truth and salvation for the world and the general resurrection to new life. "

"Spiritual forces of Russia are to identify and transform the spiritual life of the West. " (Nikolai Berdyaev, "The Soul of Russia" , 1915)

"We, the people of modern times, must not and dare not indulge in illusions: the crisis we are experiencing not only a political or economic crisis, is the essence of his spiritual nature, its roots are laid down in the depths of our being, and he confronts us with the latest issues and leads us to the sacred area. We have no right nor reason to depict our downfall as "innocent" and "unthreatening" accident. We must find the courage and the severity of sight, to see things for what they really are; We must find the will to utter the whole truth and embark on new paths. We need to get rid of little things of everyday life and to get used to looking into the distance: where is where the modern world slipping? what awaits us? what we do in order to prevent the worst opportunities and create a new, beautiful life?
 
Our generation has seen and verified in vivo experiment, where does this expansion and the resulting culture. Now we must decide how to stop this process and where to look for salvation?

It can only help a critical review and update the structure of our inherited by us, the cultural and creative act. The structure of this act we do not have the most profound and noble capacity of human beings - the heart of contemplation and of everything connected with it, all his spiritual powers, gifts and manifestations. And so humanity must reclaim this component: to understand its meaning and purpose, to desire it, and dostradatsya to its revival.

We do not envision this process as arbitrary decisions and quick changes. This is a lengthy process, the organic-spiritual demands of the creative efforts of people and lead them through the suffering. But in some representatives of humanity can and must begin now. We must resist the false shame which prevents us to love and behold, out of love, should feel the fertilizing effect of this act, have to wake him in the children and grandchildren to bequeath a new education, should make this animated gift to all human culture - from religious belief to architecture, from the research laboratory to the concert hall of the court to the presence of agricultural labor, from the legislature to public school and the army. It is necessary to entrust all his works and his whole destiny - this blessed CHRISTIAN Evangelical strength of heart contemplation of old, who lived in eastern Orthodoxy. "

"Religious people easily recognizable by those light rays that emanate from it in the world. One shining goodness, the other - his artistic skill, and the third - his obvious or umiryayuschim peace and wondrous singing, or the simple but noble deeds. That is the gospel understands: "by their fruits ye shall know them" (Matt. 7.16). This light is a living religion is difficult to hide or does not notice, because it penetrates through the case and the "Light of the World" (Mf.5, 14) and only a very fierce and heart -blind people can walk past him without noticing anything. "

"None of that is not believing, a Russian man becomes empty being, no ideal, no goal. Mind and will of the Russian people are in spiritual and artistic movement of love and faith."

"Human culture can only be upgraded alive, radiant heart, for only in this emerging new creative ideas, but he is given the evidence." (Ivan Ilyin)

"The Orthodox Church was the guardian of mother - love and prayers , counselor , and denouncer , womb cleansing, repentance and wisely - eternal matter, which receive the baby and praying for the deceased . It is her spirit - freed the peasants, the court has created a fast , right and merciful , has created a Russian district council and the Russian school , it is her spirit - the age and strengthened the Russian national conscience and self-sacrifice , it is her spirit - and strengthened the Russian povil dream of perfection , it is her spirit - made ​​in all of Russian culture by the contemplation of the heart , inspired by Russian poetry , painting , music and architecture and created Pirogovskaya tradition in Russian medicine. " ( Ivan Ilyin)

"Holy Russia ..." "By all indications, it is a meaningful determination of the Russian national consciousness of the grass-roots, mass origin. Seed Christian dreams, calling the whole world and all humanity to the divine ideal of holiness fell here on the good, receptive soil.

Neither the "old England" or "beautiful France" or "academic Germany" or "noble Spain" - none of the Christian nations are not captivated by the most important call of the Church no more and no less than how to be holy, the divine property.

And that's not a scientist, a poor, humble, sad northern country proud and no one deceive vain epithets and suddenly dared to claim, if you want to sverhgordy epithet "holy", devoted herself to supramental ideal of sanctity, gave him her heart. Vicky wanted to become a nation of the Heavenly Bride Groom. And it has revealed its generosity and its greatness. The claim, as it were unjustified and unproven.
The church appealed to all nations, and everyone is free to chose what he dearer in the Gospel. Russia chose a "holiness" as the supreme task of his history, his country, its culture "(Anton Kartashov," Russian abroad in the year of the millennium of Christianity in Russia ").

"Russian culture, as one of Christian and European cultures, was born at a time when Prince Vladimir, after deep reflection and competing influences on him deliberately chose the Byzantine baptismal font, and it is imperative plunged the entire Russian people.

Was thorny, and perhaps will be our way to Eastern Europe, especially in some of the Western world but also blessed, because it laid the foundation of our existence was in the culture and even the possibility of a certain historical moment of our spiritual hegemony.

If the world and becomes interested in becoming more and more the fruits of our spiritual work, not only because we are not without talent, but also because of the depth of our soul can hear a new, unknown music. This is music born out of a religious childhood of the Russian nation, from a religious upbringing.

Culture in general "individual", ie national. Creator of culture - the soul of the people, and it is formed under the strong influence of the prevailing religion. Culture of the Arab - Muslim, Tibetan - Buddhist, North American - Protestant. Russian Culture - Orthodox.

" For Christians , perhaps most important in the work of Josephus ( Joseph ben Mattathias , ca. 37 - approx. 100) was the first non-Christian testimony of Jesus Christ , placed in the 18th book," Antiquities of the Jews . " Here it is: " About this time lived Jesus, a wise man , if one can call him a man. He has done marvelous deeds , and became a mentor to those people who are willing to perceive the truth. He attracted many Jews and Greeks. That was Christ . At the urging Pilate condemned Him to the cross. But those who had loved him, did not stop this now. On the third day he appeared to them alive again , as announced on him and many other wonders of His divine prophets . Today there are still so-called Christians who call themselves this way on his behalf . "http://lib.rus.ec/b/81457/read

Pushkin wrote PY Chaadayev (letter dated October 19, 1836):

"... We had a special destiny. That Russia is its vast space absorbed Mongol invasion. Tatars did not dare to move our western border, and leave us in the rear. They retreated to their deserts, and Christian civilization was saved.
To achieve this goal, we had to keep a very special there (which, leaving us Christians, we did, however, is quite alien to the Western world) .. so that the martyrdom of our vigorous development of Europe was saved from any interference.

... As our historical insignificance, I can not strongly agree with you. And ... (honestly) did not find you something significant in the present situation in Russia, something that will impress future historians? Do you think that he will deliver us out of Europe? Although personally, I sincerely attached to the Emperor, I'm not admire everything that I see around you, as a writer - I was annoyed by how a person with prejudice - I oskoblen - but upon my honor, that nothing in the world I would not want to change the country or have a different history than the history of our ancestors, which God gave it to us.
