The memory of Beslan is always difficult. It’s good that Father Nikolai was at the laying of flowers and at the meeting with Lukonin on the same day. A minute of silence was right, especially when the governor, the military, and schoolchildren are nearby.

I agree, Aleksandar, a minute of silence is always the hardest, and when children from schools are there, you remember Beslan even more. Father Nikola was really everywhere that day, just like he should. Did you see that there was also a memorial for the victims in our parish?

Yes, it's good that the meeting with Alexandr Lukonin took place after work. I especially remember the moment with the students and teachers who stood there during the minute of silence - it's like you're seeing the children of Beslan. In our parish, the commemoration was more secluded, but we still prayed for their souls.

I agree, Ivana, that minute of silence really falls the hardest when children are mentioned. Father Nikola was everywhere, I also saw him at our place in the afternoon. Were you at that memorial in the parish?

It’s good that Father Nikolai was in the square and then at the meeting with Lukonin. In Rostov, too, that day after the service, they honored Beslan with a minute of silence; it was especially difficult when schoolchildren were standing nearby. And in Ulyanovsk, I see that the governor came and the veterans did the right thing.

Да, минута ћутања кад су ту и ђаци из школа најтеже падне. Видео сам да је отац Никола и на плоштаду био и после на састанку са Луконином, стварно је био свуда тај дан. Код нас у Подгорици после вечерње службе такође смо се помолили за Беслан, тихо, без много речи.
