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.
