Okay, the date seems serious. I'm glad they talked about Pskov and Jerusalem together, maybe something concrete will come out for the monasteries there. Vladislav Tumanov is the man who connects things, I know him from other news.

It's good that they met at the IPPO Center. Pskov and Jerusalem have always been connected through the monastery, I hope that it will concretely help restore some of those sanctuaries. Vladislav Tumanov really knows how to get things started, it was seen before.

Interestingly, they met right at the IPPO Center. I hope they will help restore one of the Pskov monasteries, especially knowing their connection to Jerusalem. Vladislav Tumanov really looks like the man who can get things going.
