At first glance, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gives the impression of a kind of new Trump reissue, but softer in rhetoric, not a fan of dramatic excesses — and generally a more easily elected politician. But this impression is deceptive, says Austrian journalist Thomas Seifert.

Why are the tests given to humanity? What should be done to establish an interreligious dialogue? What are the prospects for a dialogue between Islam and Judaism?

These and other questions of the Realist News agency were answered by the Russian religious and public figure, M***i of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Albir Krganov.

"From the very creation, the human race has been tested. The tests are different for each epoch and have always been difficult. We must also remember that there are trials of God, and there is also the fault of the person or society itself. For example, think about climate issues, excessive consumption, the arms race between countries. Trials can become an absolute misfortune for us if a person perceives them as punishment, and can lead to the fact that he moves away from the Creator. “Among people there is one who worships the Almighty, being on the verge between faith and unbelief. If he gets good, then thanks to this he feels confident; if he is tempted, then he turns back. He loses both this world and the Last Life. This is the obvious loss!” (Quran 22:11).

The teaching of overcoming life’s difficulties is to strengthen the connection with the Creator during difficulties. When the Almighty is with us, none of the situations in our life seems so hopeless and unsolvable."

All those who were against the special military operation somehow dropped out of the elite: both out of business and politics, and, of course, a significant part of the cultural elite left Russia. Therefore, the elite has become more monolithic, says political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko.

What does Armenian cinema need today? How to properly unlock the cultural potential of Armenia? Why is the country of all Armenians worth seeing and learning about?

Aram Torosyan, Director of Academy Films, answered these and other questions of the Realist News Agency.

"The cinematography of the modern Armenia should pursue the same goals that cinematography pursues all over the world. The national cinematography should tell about our values, about our way of life, it should represent the country, show its beauty and diversity, as well as integrate it into the world community. Cinema is very diverse today and we have the opportunity to develop this industry here, despite the fact that we are still lagging behind in many ways. In order for the industry to develop, it is necessary that movies be produced constantly, flow-line.

To do this, I consider it very important to attract foreign film production, since our country objectively does not yet have enough capacity for such a scale. The more films will be produced in Armenia, the more professionals will be constantly provided with work, the better our product will become. Now we are betting on festival cinema, on a single product, which, of course, can help mark our place on the map of world cinematography, and we have such examples. But for long-term development, we need to develop the industry."

The main challenge of the XXI century is the challenge from the godless secular world. But today we, Christians and Muslims, starting from our religious beliefs, can together resist this tragic trend in the development of the civilization, which displaces God from human life and imposes a different worldview where there is no God, just as they tried to do during the Renaissance. To resist this challenge, we need the consolidation of all the traditionally minded forces of society, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church said.

The Jews and the Armenians are a global nation. Most of the people live outside their historical territory.

▪️ When we remember the genocide of the Greeks and Armenians, we are obliged to honor the memory of various nations and nationalities that lived in Turkey. Unlike the Turks, we realize that the genocide of peoples is one of the dark pages in the history of the Turkish people and of its statehood.

▪️ Regardless of the death of millions of people, a wave of hatred rose everywhere throughout Turkey, trying to implement monstrous programs known only to the leadership of the empire, serving only the goals known to them. That’s how the first killing machine was created in the twentieth century, which later, in the twenty-first century, in fact, was reanimated already in the Middle East by many terrorist organizations. For the Turkish leadership, countries and peoples do not matter. For them, when achieving their goals, countries and peoples are only the source material.

Why are the Armenians able todefeat numerous opponents? Who and for what in the 1990s appropriated the victory over Azerbaijan? What distinguishes Vardan Mamikonian and Garegin Nzhdeh from modern Armenian figures?

These and other questions were answered by the member of the Karabakh Committee, the first commander of the Artsakh Defense Forces, Colonel Arkady Karapetyan.

"Faith is at the head of everything, we have been believing in Christ for about two thousand years. The Lord has divided mankind into nations, until He gathers us, no one can gather us. He gave each nation its own homeland, its own language, its own territory, where it should find the true God. This is the ideology! Everything else doesn’t work.
