We always emphasize that Russia is multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. Today we want to show you a video about community of Roman Catholics in Kazan, who are celebrating the opening of a new church:
Ildar Khanov, a local sculptor, is building what he calls a Temple of All Faiths. He sees it as a cultural centre of the future and a unique meeting point for people of all beliefs. The construction, financed with his own money, has been under way for the past 13 years. But the idea came to him years earlier.
“I had this idea since childhood. It really is the goal of my whole life. I wanted to find a way towards understanding among people. The temple is meant to symbolise peace and unity,” he said.
We wish all our readers to have high goals in life
and we wish your best wishes become true!

Today we will listen to one more great ensemble what came to us from Soviet time: “Pesnyary”. Now when Soviet Union became history we got 15 different countries what used to be TheUnion of Soviet Socialistic Republics. Now “Pesnyary” formally belongs to Belorussia but they truly belong to all soviet people, people who was brought up in Soviet culture…
Best wishes and have a good day,
