The security department and the department for interaction with the Cossacks of the Borisov diocese have long-standing and good relations. On July 6, in continuation of the celebration of Independence Day of the Republic of Belarus, the head of the diocesan department, Archpriest Andrei Evdokimov, met with the personnel of the department.

The priest congratulated the employees on the national holiday and reminded them of the great feat of the Belarusian people during the Great Patriotic War. Father Andrei spoke about the key stages of the strategic operation “Bagration”, thanks to which our land was liberated from the fascist invaders. Particular attention in the conversation was paid to spiritual and moral education. The priest noted that it is precisely such qualities as honor, conscience, mercy and responsibility that form the true image of a defender of the Motherland and a law enforcement officer. At the end of the meeting, Archpriest Andrei Evdokimov wished God's help to the personnel in carrying out the service. “Law and order in the country is impossible without the personal decency of every citizen,” the priest emphasized.

Good to see Father Andrei connecting the liberation of our land in Operation Bagration with the everyday virtues needed by those who keep order today. Honor, conscience, and responsibility — those words hit home. Thank you for the reminder.

Yes, the "Bagration" operation is really the key moment when our grandfathers were freed. It's good that father Andrej directly connected it with conscience and responsibility of today's police. You can't keep order without personal order, exactly.

Father Andrei did a good job tying Operation Bagration and the real suffering of our grandparents to the everyday honor and conscience a policeman needs on the job. That last line about personal decency being the only way to keep order really stuck with me. Thanks for sharing this.

And then Andrei Horosho was called by “Bagration” — and he was the one who was lost. тех местах воевал брат. And this is how the sugar comes into contact with the grain — it's the same thing. Don't worry, don't worry.
