Today marks the day of remembrance of the British fleet's attack on the Solovetsky Monastery.
We will talk about a feat associated with an episode of the Crimean War.
It is noted that in 1854, the Solovetsky Monastery was able to withstand a multi-hour bombardment by the British during the war. RIA Novosti reports details with reference to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
It is also known that at that time the monastery was not distinguished by good weapons, but the friendship of the people, their prayer and resourcefulness helped to achieve victory.
According to Chernyshenko, the Solovetsky Archipelago Foundation is also of great importance. It provides an opportunity to remember the actions of the brethren and the life of the monastery.
In addition, thanks to the foundation, pilgrims can travel to holy places and learn information about their country.
The creation of the Foundation for the Preservation and Development of the Solovetsky Archipelago took place in 2018, thanks to the President of the Russian Federation and the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'.
