Metropolitan Georgy of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas shared his impressions of communicating with foreigners who moved to the Nizhny Novgorod region. He spoke about this in an interview within the framework of the program “I Believe” on radio station “Obraz” (12+). In 2025, as in previous years, many families from Europe, Canada, Australia and other countries moved to the Nizhny Novgorod region. Some of them, as already noted, even accepted the Orthodox faith, and Metropolitan George was able to communicate with them. Vladyka said he had been to China but realized this was not his culture. According to him, alien values are being imposed there that he does not share. “We do not appreciate what we have, we do not appreciate the goodness in which we live. Here you can raise your children without fear of imposed values, that perverse systems of pseudo-values will be imposed on you here – in school, at work, on television… Let us not insult our dialogue with these insults of the so-called enlightened Western Europe,” the bishop said in an interview. He added that visiting foreigners admire Russian churches and parishioners, and many of them even express a desire to send their children to Orthodox gymnasiums. Earlier, the pravda-nn.ru website reported that Nizhny Novgorod deputies performed the Epiphany baptism in an ice hole.
