Orthodox war Bryansk

Hello. Seeing the community post titled "The story of the usual" I thought - what we could tell people. Just about normal, so that constantly surrounds them, to practically do not pay attention. And on the way home, looking at construction Bryansk Cathedral, came up with the idea - to write about the church. So today's post is about it. The modern church is often called "Tale in cassocks." And, as it turns out, is for what.





1. Bryansk Cathedral.

The story began long ago in 2005. By that time, in the minds of Bryansk clerics deeply embedded idea to build in the center of something big. We decided to build a cathedral. We quickly established a regional public fund "Bryansk Cathedral", chaired by Valery Meshalkina, concurrently at the time deputy chairman of the Moscow Bureau "Ergobank».

Near building is ravine "Upper Sudoku" made to the list of natural monuments, all construction is prohibited.

The original plan of building with outbuildings took 5 meters of the protected area. But the patriarch (while Alexy II) blessed the construction of the cathedral on this place. At the session, the deputies stated - "During the construction of the Orthodox Cathedral of paramount importance grace. You do not, as the patriarch - there! And he was blessed to build on this place ».

Eventually Meshalkin listed on TV all the deputies, who demanded to call upon different specialists, and did not vote the way you want, and said - "These deputies, in my estimation, have declared open war orthodoxy, and people should know their names. I will inform His Holiness the Patriarch, plenipotentiary of the president of what is happening in Bryansk! And if possible, and inform the President of the Russian Federation! ».

Judging from all the calls was followed by Moscow patrons, and members were allowed to use the cathedral a hectare of land conservation.

And more. Soon, at the request of the Bryansk Archbishop Theophylact, the site expanded to three hectares.



In the area of ​​construction work has already about 7 temples. I think it is the church area of ​​our city. Obviously, the more temples in the city center, so it is great power and spirituality. So many of our city steeper.

Driven technique to quickly cut down the square and began construction.



Since some prayers are not enough, and working some reason do not want to work for free, but the company did not seek to provide a platform for free building materials, then all state employees to collect tribute in the field of construction of the cathedral. Signed by the governor to businessmen and managers of state enterprises are sent letters asking to "organize assistance", "consider the possibility of providing assistance." Unofficially, they threaten to hit out of favor with the authorities in case of failure. As a result, periodically on residents of the Bryansk region is grace, and they voluntarily in unison donate his salary from a certain amount of construction. Well, you understand, right? Blackmail and extortion best epithets here. The mass media announced donations of people Bryantsev example of unity, awareness of the importance of the construction of the cathedral, increasing spirituality and faith in God.

And the cathedral is not growing in leaps and bounds. At the same time coming global updates main street - Lenin Avenue. Felled numerous trees, everything is laid paving slabs (just as it is now Sobyanin wants half of Moscow to lay tiles), sit frail seedlings that no one watering and they quickly wither and die. In their place are planted new ones, too, do not follow them or pouring, I think they will soon come to an end, too.

What is surprising, as the residents of Bryansk when the pavement near the mega-construction takes the following form:



Church willfully captures more piece of territory enclosing fence almost two human growth. Number of self-trapping can evaluate themselves. Wieden old fence of the church, which is being built near the cathedral, and the new, large fence.



As you can see, walk on the sidewalk say two mothers with strollers is very difficult, they simply have nowhere to miss. On the one hand a huge fence of the church, on the other - also a fence and lively highways. And how to walk this path in snowdrifts in the winter - is unclear.



But recently, the top put a huge dome, a very interesting operation from a technical point of view, but unfortunately put early in the morning, I was not aware and had slept

Waiting for his installation bell.

Moving further to explore the city. We see another church. Previously, there was a city planetarium, he is now forced to live somewhere on the outskirts of the city, and the first year to feed the promises of officials to provide him a room.



Following is also very beautiful building owned by the church.
