A Russian priest refused to pray for the 'victory of the warriors of Holy Rus'

"I am Archpriest Vadim Perminov from Kuibyshev in the Kainsk Diocese. I testify that throughout the entire time the prayer for 'Holy Rus'' has been recited, I have not read it and do not intend to read it. Guided by the Holy Scriptures, before which I took an oath, and by my conscience, I find it unacceptable for myself to pray for victory in a fratricidal war between Orthodox Christians. In my conviction, I am free and responsible, my word is final and not subject to review," wrote the archpriest in his statement, which served as the reason for his dismissal.
