Dudko: I received your questions and I think that they are quite interesting and relevant, so I am glad to respond.

Question: Do you think that the young people's interest in religion is now increasing and growing stronger, or declining? How could you explain it?

I believe that the interest in religion on the part of the young people at the present time is increasing and growing stronger, not declining. The increased interest may be explained by many motives; however, the most important explanation is the complete disillusionment with irreligiosity, even on the part of the so-called atheists,, I presented the essential motive from the human point of view, but from my religious point of view the essential explanation is as follows: the process of faith has taken place and is spreading.
