This was stated by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, speaking during the awarding of the Order of St. Sergei of Radonezh, 1st degree, to the head of the nuclear center in Sarov, Radiy Ilkaev, Russian media reported.
According to Kirill, nuclear weapons were created in the USSR under the patronage of St. Seraphim of Sarov, considered the patron saint of Russian nuclear scientists.
They created weapons under the protection of the Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, for according to the inexpressible providence of God, these weapons were created in the monastery of the Venerable Seraphim. Thanks to this force, Russia remained independent and free, Kirill said.
In Sarov there was a monastery in which at the beginning of the 19th century lived one of the most respected monks in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church – Seraphim of Sarov, who at the beginning of the 20th century. was canonized by the Russian Church.
After the establishment of Soviet power, the monastery was destroyed, and a colony for minors was founded within its walls. In the 1940s, the city was renamed Arzamas-16 and became closed, since the design bureau where the first Soviet atomic bomb was created was located on its territory.
