Ask Victor anything

[Victor]

I've always tried to be inconspicuous on this forum, discussing not myself, but various topics. Now I'm interested in analyzing myself through my own answers to exact questions, so feel free to ask almost anything.

Do you go regulary to Liturgy, you do seem like a good orthodox believer, do you really go every sunday to liturgy how often do you receive pricest/communion and do you fast before receiving pricest? Do you follow orthodox laws and live according to it?

In Serbian church I know that typically the communion would be before fasting or in fasts, like before christmas every sunday or something, but i dont go really often to Church so Im not sure. How is it in the russian church can you commune if you didnt fasted? In Serbian church fast means vegan + fish, but there are degrees of fasting some fastings require only bread and water no fish, no oil nothing.

What is your favourite Russian phrase which is not possible to translate literally to English?

As an example, in Polish we have phrase "dać się zrobić w konia" which literally translates to "give yourself to become a horse" but it means "to be fooled by someone"

There are different rules for those who regularly do it and those who do it after long pause, it's decided by a priest who witnesses your confession. There should be always an Eucharist abstinence of meat at least one day before the Communion. I think you should search some literature on this topic so we won't turn on this thread in a discussion of other topics. Read the Catechism, for example.

I'm 37 just like it says in my profile. I have never been married, but I "plan" it in 1-3 years. Between 20 and early 30+ years old I had a lot of fun, let's say, good that it didn't turn into kids. I've traveled a lot and lived the way I wanted in the very moment, back then I really didn't have any intention to create family, there were longer relationships, but not more than this.

I'm trying to remember something like this, but it got out of my brain, I even tried to google some phrases, but still failed lol

What is your opinion on Dugin's theorems.

Do you believe that Russia is destined to be the successor of the Byzantine Empire, aka the "Third Rome"?
