The unity of nations and faith: SMO veterans attended the premiere of the film "Thy Ways"
The
National Centre RUSSIA hosted a pre-premiere screening of the documentary
project "Thy Ways." The key idea of the film is the unification of
representatives of different nations and faiths to defend their common
Motherland — Russia. The honorary guests of the event were participants of the
Special Military Operation.
"I
hope the best expectations for this film will be met. I want this story — the
story of the unification of religions and nations for a common victory — to be
appreciated by everyone and leave a mark in people's hearts," said SMO
veteran Alexander Knyazev.
The
serviceman also spoke about how people unite, support each other, and do
everything for victory, regardless of nationality and faith. This is one of the
key ideas of the film "Thy Ways."
He was
supported by his comrade, SMO veteran Pavel Grishin. He emphasized that in the
modern world, films like "Thy Ways" are especially relevant for
patriotic education.
"In my
opinion, such films unite servicemen of different faiths and religions, help
strengthen bonds, and make us stronger and more resilient. My unit included
people of all backgrounds, but we were all united by our faith in the Almighty
and our confidence in victory," said the veteran.
Pavel
Grishin expressed his gratitude to the "Defenders of the Fatherland"
foundation, which supported the production of the documentary project.
The
documentary project "Thy Ways" tells the story of a journey that
becomes an exploration of the human soul. The main characters — Imam Hamza
Hazrat, Archpriest Viktor Ivanov, and narrator, actor Ilya Glinnikov — travel
together for more than two thousand kilometers from Ufa to Donetsk. Along the
way, they stop in various cities and meet representatives of different
religious communities: they have dinner with the Chief Rabbi of Samara and meet
a Buddhist lama in Elista. Despite their differences in faith, the protagonists
demonstrate true mutual understanding, respect, patriotism, and courage.
