Metropolitan Alexy of Chelyabinsk and Miass voted in the elections of deputies to the State Dumatranslated

The voting takes place on days when the Chelyabinsk diocese is experiencing a great spiritual holiday - the arrival of the relics of the blessed Matrona of Moscow. The ruling bishop has a busy schedule of services, so Bishop Alexy voted remotely in the elections. “We rejoice that our Chelyabinsk land has already been visited by a second great shrine in a short period of time: recently the right hand of St. Spyridon of Trimifunts visited us, and now a particle of the relics of the holy Elder Matrona of Moscow resides in the city of Chelyabinsk. We hope that this will provide spiritual support to our people. We have a spiritual responsibility before God, before our neighbors, before our Fatherland. Elections are taking place these days, so it would be right to show consciousness, civic responsibility and come to cast your vote for one of the candidates and political movements,” Metropolitan Alexy emphasized. The archpastor called the electronic voting format very convenient. Elections to the lower house of parliament take place from September 18 to 20, 2026.
