Оросын Үнэн алдартны сүм цэргийн албан хаагчдын сэтгэл санааг дэмжих зорилгоор түүхэн вангийн шарилын хэсгийг Украйн дахь байлдааны бүсэд хүргэжээ.
Дундад зууны үед монголчуудын эсрэг Куликовын тулаанд ялалт байгуулсан гэгддэг Их ван Дмитрий Донскойн шарилын хэсгийг ОХУ-ын Үнэн алдартны сүм цэргийн фронт руу илгээсэн байна. Энэхүү шарилыг энэ зун Москва хотын Кремль дэх Архангелийн сүмд сэргээн засварлах ажлын явцад олсон бөгөөд наймдугаар сард Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путин өөрийн биеэр үзэж сонирхжээ.
Сүмийн зүгээс Дмитрий Донскойг “ариун жанжин” хэмээн нэрлэж, түүний баруун гарын ясны хэлтэрхийг Донецк бүс нутаг дахь фронтын шугамд хүргүүлсэн байна. Тэдний мэдэгдэлд дурдсанаар, уг шарилыг тусгай хайрцагт хийж, байлдааны нэгтгэлүүдэд үзүүлэх замаар цэргүүдийн сэтгэл санааг дэмжих зорилготой ажээ.
Дмитрий Донской нь 1380 оны Куликовын тулаанд оролцсон түүхэн гавьяагаараа Оросын үндсэрхэг үзэлтнүүдийн дунд хүндэтгэлтэй байр суурь эзэлдэг юм. Түүнийг 1988 онд Оросын Үнэн алдартны сүмээс гэгээнээр тодруулсан бөгөөд Дэлхийн хоёрдугаар дайны үед түүний нэрээр нэрлэсэн танкийн цувааг сүмээс санхүүжүүлж байсан түүхтэй.

Bone fragments from the sword hand of a medievalRussian prince who won a famous victory over the Mongols have been sent to the front in Ukraine to raise army morale in theRussian Orthodox Church’s latest show of support for the war.
The sarcophagus of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy, who died in 1389 and is revered byRussian nationalists for defeating the Mongol Golden Horde at the 1380 Battle of Kulikovo, was uncovered this summer during restoration work at Moscow’s Cathedral of the Archangel inside the Kremlin.
Putin personally inspectedwhat experts said were the prince’s well-preserved remains in August, hailing them as “an absolutely unique and marvellous discovery” that reinforced the foundations ofRussian history.
TheRussian Orthodox Church, which has backed Putin throughout the conflict, said it had dispatched a fragment of Donskoy’s right hand to Donetsk, one of four Ukrainian regions Russia claims to have annexed in 2022.
Referring to Donskoy as “the holy commander,” the Moscow Patriarchate of theRussian Orthodox Church said part of his remains had been sent to the front to stand invisibly shoulder-to-shoulder withRussian troops.
“A fragment of the Grand Prince’s right hand — the very same right hand with which he wielded his sword on Kulikovo Field — has been sent to the front to strengthen the soldiers’ spirits,” it said in a statement.
The relic, held in a small ornate casket beneath toughened glass, will be shown toRussian combat units along the front line, it said.
Donskoy, whose name was given to a Soviet tank column funded by the church in World War II, was declared a saint by theRussian Orthodox Church in 1988.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
