You're like...

family to us.

Your mum and I were friends.

You were little when she died.

I went to school with your parents.

And Lilya. She was a bit younger.

I'll step out for a smoke.

Pribrezhny Town Court

has ruled as follows:

The Panel of Judges,

presided over by Mrs Tarasova,

examined Mr Sergeyev's petition

to appeal the ruling

on case No. 06-18.

In the presence of Mr Sergeyev,

the court has determined that:

Mr Sergeyev,

who has no previous convictions,

is convicted in accordance

with Article 105 of the Criminal Code

and sentenced to 15 years

in a maximum-security penitentiary.

The ruling also addressed

evidence in the case:

Mr Sergeyev was convicted

of premeditated murder of his wife.

The circumstances of the crime

are outlined in the ruling.

Mr Sergeyev refused

to confess to the crime.

He filed an appeal requesting

that the ruling be repealed.

Mr Sergeyev claims that his guilt

in the case was not proven.

The court considers the ruling

not subject to repeal.

All circumstances

were thoroughly examined by the court

and all evidence

given due consideration.

The defendant's claim of innocence

was reviewed by the court

and soundly rejected.

Hello?

15 years?

Well, thank God.

That'll teach him to know his place.

Yeah, later.

One more.

We probably don't even realise yet

what is really happening.

We are reawakening

the soul of the Russian people.

As the Great Prince

St. Alexander Nevsky

wonderfully put it:

"God dwells not in strength,

but in truth."

And he was right:

not with strength, but with love;

not with cunning,

but with the Lord's wisdom;

not with anger and hatred,

but with bravery

have we overcome the many enemies

of our faith and our Motherland.

But the most important thing today

is that we must

uphold the Orthodox faith

and always speak truthfully.

Truth

is God's legacy.

Truth reflects the world

as it really is, without distortion.

But only he who knows God's truth

can find truth.

And God's truth

is Christ Himself.

This is why, when Apostle Paul said,

"I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me"

he meant that when a man

lets Christ into his soul -

in other words,

begins to think like Christ,

see like Christ

and act like the Lord commanded -

only then does this man

possess truth.

And that means he can regard events

and see their true meaning

and tell good from evil.

And that is the essence of truth.

When people destroy crosses,

break icons, defile the Crucifix

and blaspheme by calling

demonic rites a prayer,

when people try to convince others

that they do this

out of good intentions,

they are passing off lies

as the truth.

How can one

preach freedom

while destroying the foundations

of morality?

Freedom is finding God's truth.

The Bible teaches us this.

Know God's truth,

and it shall set you free.

Only man who knows God's truth,

who lives by it,

who defends it -

only that man is truly free.

My beloved brothers and sisters

in Christ!

The world today is constantly

changing its reference points.

True values

are being replaced with false ones.

But even in this world,

our path remains unchanged:

it leads to Christ.

We know that the Church

will protect and guide us

but the Church consists

of you and me.

God is with us.

Truth is with us.

The Lord's love is with us...

God sees everything, son.

And in defending our faith, we will

not liken ourselves to our enemies

but just as Christ

shed light on the truth

and unmasked the lies with one word,

so will we,

enlightened by the Church,

the World of God and saintly prayer

defend the Orthodox faith.

I'm so glad

that you're pleased, sir.

Thanks a lot. We try.

It's not quite finished yet,

but it will be soon.

We'll do some landscaping,

maybe build a refectory.

As soon as it's all finished,

I'll call you right away.

- I have every faith in you.

- Thank you so much.

Where's my family?

Come on, sweetie, get in the car.
