The National Research Nuclear University MEPI chair of theology there. Head of the department became the head of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, the rector of the church-wide graduate school and doctoral Metropolitan Hilarion. But clericalization of the regime in the territory of a nuclear facility started much earlier, say the students and teachers of the university. who and why you need the presence of the Church among nuclear physicists?
October 16th Scientific Council unanimously approved MEPI and the opening of the Department of Theology, and the candidacy of the head - Metropolitan Hilarion.

- The task of teaching theology within the general university course is precisely to provide an opportunity for students to gain knowledge in the area, which continues to play a significant role in people's lives, that is, in religion ...





Overcoming of the incompetence and ignorance in the religious sphere, which we inherited from the Soviet past is still - and this is the first simple task chair of theology - said Metropolitan Hilarion meeting with students.

The new head of the department believes that the creation of the department of theology - is to follow the European tradition and ideas of full university education, it will help to understand the young physicists the world, his place and purpose in it:

- Very often, young people have a high competence in the various fields of knowledge, but do not know why they need all this: they do not know why they are learning what they need to work for what you need to follow certain moral norms . In many respects, this position of man in relation to his own life, of the world depends on how he positions himself on religion - said Hilarion.



Some students and teachers laugh innovation, others are worried and say that in recent years there is a real clericalisation MEPI. A reason to have confidence mifistov abound.

On student portals MEPI can find a huge number of stories about how the Orthodox suddenly came into their academic life. Many devoted to important topics of the everyday life of nuclear physicists: the unanimous decision of the Academic Council of the MEPI award Patriarch Kirill Honorary Doctorate, Student competition issues patriarch, installation worship cross on the site of a cult sculpture MEPI "road by walking." Portal mephist.ru wrote that the cross is not only established without ecclesiastical traditions, but also against the wishes of the students. Its installation was timed to the visit of the Patriarch, and the fate of the sculpture "Walking" is unknown. But just in case the cross has been put security, since MEPI held protests. During the visit, the Patriarch consecrated the church in the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, after which it began to hold services, including public prayers at the beginning of the study and the successful delivery of the session. But the students instead of prayers still prefer the lecture.



In this context, the appearance of the chair of theology looks like a logical continuation. A former physics teacher, until recently, worked in the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, he told us that all decisions of the Orthodox nature and promotion of religion in the scientific community with no one discussed:

- Sami mifisty not become pious. But the rector and his team are actively working in this direction. Get at least the history of the temple: for public opinion was against it, but with the advent of the new Rector Strikhanov arose and the church, and the cross. Cross all night quietly installed to avoid disturbances. And the next day, when I was at the institute, this cross very loudly discussed. And nobody did not like people with high academic degrees spoke harshly, and some mothers. I talked a lot and still communicate with students, and I think very few people support it all.

The question about the appearance of the chair of theology teacher laugh.



- About the Department of Theology MEPI I, like my former colleagues, I learned from the media publications. Teachers just put before the fact. Popular this department will not be. But the question remains - voluntarily or involuntarily students will have to deal with theology? As far as I know, most of the teachers against the appearance of this chair. In many respects, the initiative belongs to the rector and his entourage. Rector of the believer, maybe it's truly all, or maybe just want to make friends with influential organization.

- But if both students and teachers against this innovation, why Scientific Council unanimously adopts a positive decision, and no one opposes?

- Totalitarianism. Everyone is afraid of no one to speak loudly about it will not. Votes "against" is always suppressed, especially students. Those who opposed the installation of the cross, was summoned to the dean's office, lectured and threatened. When I was an employee, I also hinted that it is better not to speak about it. And if I still worked there, I would be unlikely to somehow commented.
