“The St. Sergius of Radonezh Fund, part of the Russian Historical Society, plans to erect here in the Crimea, if it is allowed, a monument to Sergius of Radonezh, especially since this is a jubilee year: the 700th anniversary of St. Sergius of Radonezh,” Naryshkin related this Saturday at a meeting with members of the State Council of the Crimea.
