His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has expressed condolences over the death of Yevgeny M. Primakov<\/em><\/p>\n

To Ms. Irina Primakova and Evgeny Primakov\u2019s relatives and friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Irina Borisovna, Dear Brothers and Sisters:<\/p>\n

With deep sorrow I have learnt about the death of Yevgeny Maksimovich Primakov.<\/p>\n

The deceased went through a long journey of life. Working at various posts, Yevgeny Maksimovich proved himself not only as a high-level professional and Russia\u2019s faithful son but also a man with a clear civic position and firm moral convictions.<\/p>\n

It is gratifying to attest that in the years of the deceased\u2019s service as Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Russian Orthodox Church enjoyed good and constructive cooperation with his department.<\/p>\n

Having become the head of the Government at a time difficult for the country, he did much to ensure that the Russian state went through the hard period of trials with minimal losses.<\/p>\n

As one who knew the deceased well, I can attest to his manifold gifts: he proved himself as an experienced statesman, thinker, remarkable scholar, poet and simple a benevolent and wise interlocutor. He made a considerable influence on those around him. I know firsthand that many of those who are in power today consider Yevgeny Maksimovich their teacher.<\/p>\n

In the last years of his life, the deceased suffered from a serious illness but even in this difficult situation he kept the presence of mind and did not lay down his hope for the Lord\u2019s mercy.<\/p>\n

I pray to the Heavenly Lord that He may give rest to the soul of His deceased servant Yevgeny in the dwellings of the righteous, where there is<\/em> not pain, nor any sorrow, nor any sighing, but Life everlasting, <\/em>and may He grant peace and consolation to all the relatives and friends of the deceased.<\/p>\n

With profound condolences,<\/p>\n

+ Kirill <\/strong><\/p>\n

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n
