On July 6, the dean of the Furmanovsky district, Archpriest Vladimir Kozlov, at the military commissariat of the Furmanovsky municipal district, addressed the conscripts with a parting word before they were sent to the place of military service. In his speech, he emphasized that the army is a school of life and discipline, where it is important to show conscientiousness and humanity. The priest noted that in difficult situations one must always turn to God in prayer. Father Vladimir spoke about the unshakable faith of Russian commanders: the holy noble princes Princes Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Generalissimo A.V. Suvorov, holy righteous warrior Theodore Ushakov.

It's good that Father reminded us about conscience and prayer — that's all that's necessary in the army. Особенно понравилось, что привёл примеры Александр Невского и Ушаков, настоящие войны с верой. Призывникам удачи, пусть Бог ранит.

I agree, Danica, conscience and prayer are the basis. Here in Banja Luka, they also emphasize Suvorov and Dimitrije Donski in similar sermons. Have you heard a first-hand story from someone who served and stuck with it?

I agree, Jovan, Suvorov and Dimitrije Donski are always a good example because they were people of faith and not just soldiers. Here in Kragujevac, a neighbor who served in Nis said that prayer before going to bed really helped him when things were difficult. Have you heard any such story from Banja Luka?
