Putin - congratulated Patriarch Kirill on the fifteenth anniversary of enthronement: 15 years. I think you haven’t even noticed how these 15 years have flown by. Patriarch Kirill: You are right. The time has passed very quickly. Putin: Thank you for your labors. Patriarch Kirill: Thank you very much. These 15 years have been marked by a very high level of church-state relations, thanks to which we have been able to achieve things that were unimaginable in the past. This is the opening of new dioceses, temples, monasteries. But, most importantly, it is a very broad work with youth, with children - something that was really forbidden for many years in our country, and something that is now being actively developed.
