For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. We are glad that you stand with us in prayer and share our prayer burden. We want to thank you for your prayers. This day is an unofficial men's holiday in Russia. Officially it is dedicated to praise the Russian army.
Military power is a reason of great pride of our nation.
President Putin was speaking on television, talking about the importance of the Russian army. He said that all of Russian history was connected with wars and that Russian soldiers were unconquerable and always caused fear in other countries. But the real situation in the Russian army is the opposite. To be a military person in Russia is not so prestigious. Military people have great difficulties with provision and a place to live.
