Volga is the river of the world: history repeats itself

Ethnic and cultural expeditions should now get blessings from the Russian Orthodox Church so that the “devil does not mislead” them to identify in the cultures of the peoples of Idel-Ural some ethnographic and cultural features that contrast these peoples to the Moscow occupiers or demonstrate the isolation and integrity of folk cultures that do not need Moscow “patronage” to develop independently.

In the photo, the Metropolitan of Saransk and Mordovia blesses the XXIII international expedition entitled Volga is the river of the world. It is ironic: the priest of the Moscow patriarchy and Volga river of the world – after all, initially it was along the rivers that the Moscow priests moved, and military detachments followed them, capturing everything in their path. In that era, the river was the easiest way of transporting troops and their supply – after all, trade routes that were along the rivers were conquered first of all.
