Don't you like it when Russians are treated as a monolith? When even yanks are laughed at, but it is accepted that people from NYC and Texas are different, but Russians are all the same? Every time it's all about how Russians ethnically cleansed some other nation (even if it was a Georgian priest or a German princess) and every time it's forgotten how often Russians suffered simultaneously. No one ever mentions how Russian regions are literally unofficially ranked. Btw every fucking Russian imperialist telegram channel admin and the most passively nationalist people I met were always somehow from thr central federal district (and the rest suck that sweet Moscow dick). Formerly known as Muscovy. The one that is always mean as the true, default Russia. Every Russian nationalist always, for some reason, leads their history to "North-East" Russia (it's literally in the middle of the fucking map of European Russia though). Kostroma, Moscow, Vladimir, Smolensk. That's the default Russia for imperialists. Novgorod is brought up only when they need token samples of democracy. Pskov, Vyborg? Sorry, who? St. Petersburg is just a place for weirdos, worst governors Moscow has to offer and a jerk off source for the Romanov fans, Breadcrusters, who will, however immediately return to the Moscow narrative. Urals? Wordless factory men, the silent deep populus. Siberians. Someone lives there, right? Far East, a literal raw resource colony. If they rise they get Moscow OMON and get forgotten again. "Kubanoids" and other southerners aka literal untermensch. These are all Russians or "Russians" (completely russified ethnics) yet none of them are treated equal. And this works to the point of migration patterns and friendships. Like Uralians usually make friends with north-westerners and Far East usually migrates to SPb, while southerners usually come to Msk

Just quit taking Russians as an equal monolith. We're not the same. We are not equal. Death of northern Russians from the Arctic coast are literally taken as acceptable side effects of oil production. Election results in SPb are only left behind by Caucasian republics in terms of fraud. Mosow swat teams are ready to cross the entire map to beat people in Vladivostok while they dance in circle around the New Year tree

Like I get it that Ukrainians have every right to be angry at Russians for not containing our insane dictator within our country but jesus fucking christ this doesn't make your takes any better. Ukraine suffered the most but it's not the only single fucking area of collectivisation

February 5_ January 23

THE MONK GENNADIUS OF KOSTROMA AND LIUBIMOGRAD (1565)

Saint Gennadius of Kostroma and Liubimograd, in the world Gregory, was born in the city of Mogilev into a rich family. He early displayed love for the church, and his frequent visits to monasteries evoked the dismay of his parents. Gregory, however, was firmly resolved to devote himself to God, and changing into tattered clothing, he secretly left his parental home and journeyed to Moscow.

He visited the holy places in Moscow, but he did not find it suitable in spirit and so set out to the Novgorod region. The destiny of the future ascetic was decided by an encounter with Saint Alexander of Svir (August 30). With his blessing, Gregory went to the Vologda forest to Saint Cornelius of Komel (May 19), and was tonsured by him with the name Gennadius. Together with Saint Cornelius, Gennadius moved on to the Kostroma forest. Here, on the shores of Lake Sura, in about the year 1529, there emerged the monastery of the Transfiguration of the Lord, afterwards called “the Gennadiev monastery”. Having become igumen, Saint Gennadius did not slacken his monastic efforts, and together with the brethren he went out to the monastery tasks: he chopped wood, carried firewood, made candles and baked prosphora. He also wore heavy chains. One of his favorite tasks was the painting of icons, with which he adorned his new monastery.

For his holy life Saint Gennadius received from the Lord the gift of clairvoyance and wonderworking. Journeying to Moscow on monastic affairs, at the house of the nobleman Roman Zakharin, the saint predicted to his daughter Anastasia that she would become Tsaritsa. Indeed, Tsar Ivan the Terrible chose her as his wife.

The Life of Saint Gennadius was written by his disciple, Iguman Alexis, between the years 1584-1587. In it was inserted his spiritual testament, dictated by Saint Gennadius himself. In it he commands the monks to observe the monastery Rule, to toil constantly, to be at peace with everyone, and to preserve the books collected at the monastery, while striving to understand their meaning. He said, “Strive towards the light, and shun the darkness.”

Saint Gennadius died on January 23, 1565, and was glorified by the Church on August 19, 1646.

SAINT PAULINUS OF NOLA (431)

Saint Paulinus the Merciful, Bishop of Nola, was descended from an aristocratic and wealthy family of Bordeaux (France). By virtue of his extensive education and upbringing, the twenty-year-old youth was chosen to become a Roman senator, later he became consul and finally, governor of the region of Campagna in Italy.

At twenty-five years of age, he and his wife were converted to Christ and were baptized. After this he completely changed his manner of life. He disposed of all his property, and distributed the money to the needy, for which he endured the scorn of his friends and servants.

Not having children of their own, the pious couple adopted poor orphans and raised them in the fear of God. In his searchings for a secluded life, Saint Paulinus went to the Spanish city of Barcelona.

News of his ascetic life spread about, and in 393 they asked him to be ordained as a priest. Soon he left Spain and went on to the city of Nola in Italy, where he was elected bishop.

When the Vandal barbarians invaded Italy and carried off many people to Africa in captivity, Saint Paulinus used church funds to ransom the captives. However, he did not have enough money to ransom the son of a certain poor widow from slavery in the household of the Prince of the Vandals. So, he volunteered to take his place. Dressed as a slave, Saint Paulinus began to serve the Vandal prince as a gardener.

Soon his identity was revealed to the ruler, King Riga, in a dream. Not only did he receive his own freedom, but he also won the release of all the other prisoners from Campania, and returned home with them.

Saint Paulinus is known both as a builder of churches and as a Christian poet. Among his many virtues, his love for mankind and his compassion for the poor and needy deserve special mention. He died at seventy-eight years of age on June 22, 431. Thirty-two of his poems and fifty-one of his letters survive. They contain various moral discourses filled with deep piety.

His relics are in Rome, in the church of the holy Apostle Bartholomew.

LUKE 17:3-10

3Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him. 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." 6 So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'? 8 But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:14-23 

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
