Priest Vyacheslav Lee blessed the kindergarten students who became Cossackstranslated

On October 14, 2026, a celebration of initiation into Cossacks was held in kindergarten No. 186 “Rainbow” in the city of Krasnodar. The honorary guests of the event were the ataman of the Union of Cossack Warriors of the Kuban Nikolai Sytnik, Esaul Alexander Gordeychuk and the staff priest of the Church of the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon in Krasnodar, Priest Vyacheslav Lee.

The guests addressed the children and parents with parting words, wishing the young Cossacks to grow in faith, love for the Fatherland and loyalty to the traditions of the Kuban Cossacks. They thanked the teachers and the head of the kindergarten, Svetlana Valerievna Kolesnikova, for their work and organization of an important patriotic, spiritual and moral event.

It was especially noted that a Cossack group now appeared in the kindergarten. This became possible thanks to a cooperation agreement signed earlier between the kindergarten, the Union of Cossack Warriors of the Kuban and St. Panteleimon Church.

The event was held as part of the implementation of the concept of state policy of the Krasnodar Territory regarding the Kuban Cossacks and cooperation of the Church with educational institutions.
