On October 2, 2026, with the blessing of Archbishop Varlaam of Makhachkala and Derbent, Priest Grigory Fomin, head of the diocesan Department for interaction with the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies, visited the location of the 102nd separate operational brigade of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation.

During the conversation, which the priest held together with representatives of the Muftiate of the Republic of Dagestan, they discussed, in particular, issues of suicide prevention and the need for strict adherence to traffic rules.

Based on the texts of Holy Scripture, Father Gregory spoke about the value of human life and the love for one’s neighbor commanded by God.

Good to see Father Gregory teaming up with the Muftiate guys on this. Talking straight about the value of life from Scripture and pushing road safety hits home—lost a buddy to a dumb driving accident years ago. Practical stuff like suicide prevention in the brigade matters a lot.

It's good they focused on suicide prevention and road safety — those two things have taken too many young men already. The bit about human life from Scripture probably landed well with the lads; Father Gregory always keeps it straightforward.
