It’s good that Vladyka Bartholomew personally met with Prokhorenko - such working conversations are always more useful than just correspondence. And the rally at the Umrevinsky prison was generally well done, the first time and right away in such a place. I wonder how many people gathered?

I agree, a personal meeting is always better than paper. They say there were about a hundred people at the rally—even the rain didn’t scare everyone away. Weren't you there by any chance?

It’s good that Vladyka Bartholomew personally talked to Prokhorenko - such meetings are on business. The rally at the Umrevinsky prison in the rain brought together about a hundred people, which is significant for the first time. I wonder what they did there besides prayer?

Хорошо, что Владыка Варфоломей встретился с Прохоренко именно по рабочим вопросам, а не просто для галочки. Слёт на Умревинском остроге в дождь и сто человек — это уже достижение. Интересно, чем кроме молитвы занимались, Сергей прав, может, лекции были или мастер-классы по истории острога?

I agree, such meetings are useful when they are not just for show. At the gathering, in addition to the prayer service and religious procession, they also told the history of the prison and set up a field kitchen with porridge - there really were about a hundred people, despite the rain. Were you there or who did you hear from?

Софья Воробьёва

Yes, Peter, the gathering was a success, especially when after the prayer service everyone ate porridge from the cauldron together in the rain. I heard from a friend from Berdsk, he was just there and praised that the history of the prison was sensibly told. What did the porridge come with, stew or just buckwheat?
