The contradictions of the constitutionally fixed security of our state and the dense cooperation of the authorities with the Russian Orthodox Church are not news. Nevertheless, formal compliance with the formal law is a matter of honor, therefore, the cooperation of Orthodoxy and the Kremlin becomes a source of various communication decisions that allow you to submit joint initiatives under the right sauce. For example, under drug sauce.On November 24-25, the All-Russian Conference “The Call of the Church:“ Power, Business, Society Against drug addiction ”, which will become the next“ cobrending ”project of the Presidential Administration and the Russian Orthodox Church. On the eve of the forum, both of the one and the other were distributed by statements calling for the power bodies, government agencies and public organizations to take part in the preparation and course of the conference. The letter of Patriarch Alexy II Vladimir Putin emphasizes that “the state, church and civil society are called upon to work together, because they have in many ways common tasks”. In this context, the problem of the fight against drug addiction among Russians seems to be a gray occasion, and such nuances of public “draft” correspondence are striking in the eyes, like numerous titles and mutual grinding. The very name of the conference, where the Russian Orthodox Church modestly calls itself a “church” with a capital “c”, involuntarily suggests the idea of “believers VS infidels” common in many religions of the concepts.The conference promises to present positive experience in rehabilitation of drug addicts, prevention of drug addiction and social protection of youth. Meanwhile, in the letter of the Patriarch, addressed to “His Excellency, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,” the emphasis is on the need for cooperation between the state and the Russian Orthodox Church, the “grace” of changes that occurred as a result of the reforms of recent years is emphasized. The spectrum of problems mentioned in the letter to resolve the church-Krevele tandem includes the social insecurity of Russians, crime and “other vices that threaten the future of Russia”.Comments of too much, moreover, the strengthening of the positions of Orthodoxy at the state level causes the approval of a significant part of the population. Thus, the Russian Orthodox Church sequentially and regularly emphasizes its concern about problems in the scale of the nation, and not just its flock, and the Kremlin receives “fertile changes” in the form of an increasing loyalty of the huge fraction of the electorate. The conversation that the key to solving the problems of drug addiction is an appeal to Orthodox truths — at least controversial, and to a secular state to a person to support the forums of psychotherapists and narcologists. On the other hand, in the absence of a real policy to solve this problem and its origins, to rely on grace from above, perhaps, a rare real way to preserve optimism among Russians.
