Май 2013. Храм Георгия Победоносца. Престольный праздник.
В Краснооктябрьском районе Волгограда в 2006 году был образован приход Георгия Победоносца. Это единственный храм Южного Федерального Округа. Приход находится на территории закрытого металлургического предприятия – завода «Красный Октябрь». Тем не менее, для прихожан открыта возможность свободного ежедневного доступа к храму.
История храма Великомученника Георгия Победоносца
История этого прихода началась в далеком 1897 году, когда на территории Царицына был впервые построен Металлургический завод «Красный октябрь». После закладки самой первой строительной плиты Уральско-Волжского завода, само место было освящено протоиереем Флегматовым. Даже сам великий реформатор П.А. Столыпин присутствовал при этом торжественном событии.
Уже в следующем году встал вопрос о необходимости возведения собственного храма на территории металлургического предприятия. В связи с этим, практически одновременно с заводом шло возведение молитвенного дома, который в 1903 году был переименован в самостоятельную Свято-Троицкую церковь.
В заводском музее сохранилась информация о том, что семья одного священника работала на этом же заводе, а заводская библиотека была местом работы его матушки.
Свято-Троицкий храм стал местом создания и активной работы православной общины трезвости. В 1927 году Советской властью было принято решение об организации в здании церкви дома культуры имени Владимира Ильича Ленина, а во время ожесточенной борьбы за Сталинград, приход и вовсе был уничтожен. Это не удивительно, ведь именно заводская территория стала частью фронтовой линии, на которой в течение ста дней шли бои. Цеха «Красного октября» защищались тысячами солдат, но, к сожалению, этот завод был разрушен.
Храм Георгия Победоносца в Волгограде в наши дни.
На территории завода «Красный Октябрь» в 2006 году было решено воздвигнуть новый храм имени Георгия Победоносца – почитаемого святого и тысячелетнего покровителя воинства на Руси. День поминовения св. Георгия отмечается Православной церковью в самом начале мая. Подобная традиция пришла к нам из Византии в конце первого тысячелетия нашей эры. Русский народ знаком с образом этого великомученика еще и потому, что именно он в восемнадцатом веке появился на московском гербе, а в наши дни является частью герба Российского.
Место будущего строительства Храма Георгия Победоносца в Волгограде было освящено 5 мая 2005 года митрополитом Германом. Первое время строительство курировалось от епархии игуменом Елисеем (Фомкиным) – настоятелем расположенного неподалеку храма святого Иоанна Кронштадского. Именно он и освятил первый в основании храма камень, заложенный осенью того же года.
От завода строительство координировалось Важениным Игорем Викторовичем. Стройка шла достаточно быстро и уже в первой половине 2006 года колокола звонницы были освящены митрополитом Германом.
С тех пор на все Великие праздники на площадке, где строился храм, совершались молебны.
Купола храма были освящены и водружены в 2006 году, а уже 2.02.2007 в этом храме был совершен молебен о победе в страшной Сталинградской битве. Внучка последнего довоенного священника заводского прихода присутствовала в храме во время того молебна.
Во время полного освящения храма, проведенного митрополитом Германом 6 мая 2007 года, мощи троих мучеников (Евстафия, Антония и Иоанна Виленских) были заложены в основание престола. Свидетелями этого события стали многочисленные прихожане, среди которых были как заводские работники, так и жители города, не имеющие к «Красному Октябрю» прямого отношения.

SUMMARY
=======
Nicholas II or Nikolai II (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr. Nikolai II Aleksandrovich; 18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), known as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 2 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname Nicholas the Bloody or Vile Nicholas by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the execution of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). Soviet historians portrayed Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects.Russia was defeated in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War which saw the annihilation of the reinforcing Russian Baltic Fleet after being sent on its round-the-world cruise at the naval Battle of Tsushima, off the coasts of Korea and Japan, the loss of Russian influence over Manchuria and Korea, and the Japanese annexation to the north of South Sakhalin Island. The Anglo-Russian Entente was designed to counter the German Empire's attempts to gain influence in the Middle East, but it also ended the Great Game of confrontation between Russia and the United Kingdom. When all Russian diplomatic efforts to prevent the First World War (1914–1918) failed, Nicholas approved the Imperial Russian Army mobilization on 30 July 1914 which gave Imperial Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914. An estimated 3.3 million Russians were killed in the First World War. The Imperial Russian Army's severe losses, the High Command's incompetent management of the war efforts, and lack of food and supplies on the home front were all leading causes of the fall of the House of Romanov.
Following the February Revolution of 1917, Nicholas abdicated on behalf of himself and his son and heir, the Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. He and his family were imprisoned and transferred to Tobolsk in late summer 1917. On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg (renamed Sverdlovsk during the Soviet era); the rest of the captives followed on 23 May. Nicholas and his family were executed by their Bolshevik guards on the night of 16/17 July 1918. The remains of the imperial family were later found, exhumed, identified and re-interred with elaborate State and Church ceremony in St. Petersburg on 17 July 1998 – 80 years later.
In 1981, Nicholas, his wife, and their children were recognized as martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church Outsid ...

SUMMARY
=======
Joseph Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili; 18 December 1878 – 5 March 1953) was a Soviet revolutionary and politician of Georgian ethnicity. He ruled the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953, holding the titles of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952 and the nation's Premier from 1941 to 1953. Initially presiding over an oligarchic one-party system that governed by plurality, he became the de facto dictator of the Soviet Union by the 1930s. Ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin helped to formalise these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies became known as Stalinism.
Born to a poor family in Gori, Russian Empire (now Georgia), Stalin began his revolutionary career by joining the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party as a youth. He edited the party's newspaper, Pravda, and raised funds for Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik faction via robberies, kidnappings, and protection rackets. Repeatedly arrested, he underwent several internal exiles. After the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia during the 1917 October Revolution, Stalin joined the party's governing Politburo, where he was instrumental in overseeing the Soviet Union's establishment in 1922. As Lenin fell ill and then died in 1924, Stalin assumed leadership over the country. During Stalin's rule, Socialism in One Country became a central tenet of the party's dogma, and Lenin's New Economic Policy was replaced with a centralized command economy. Under the Five-Year Plan system, the country underwent collectivisation and rapid industrialization but experienced significant disruptions in food production that contributed to the famine of 1932–33. To eradicate those regarded as enemies of the working class, Stalin instituted the Great Purge, in which over a million were imprisoned and at least 700,000 executed between 1934 and 1939.
Stalin's government promoted Marxism–Leninism abroad through the Communist International and supported anti-fascist movements throughout Europe during the 1930s, particularly in the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, it signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, resulting in their joint invasion of Poland. Germany ended the pact by invading the Soviet Union in 1941. Despite initial setbacks, the Soviet Red Army repelled the German incursion and captured Berlin in 1945, ending World War II in Europe. The Soviets annexed the Baltic states and helped establish Soviet-aligned governments throughout Central and Eastern Europe, China and North Korea. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged from the war as the two world superpowers. Tensions arose between the Soviet-backed Eastern Bloc and U.S.-backed Western Bloc which became known as the Cold War. Stalin led his country through its post-war reconstruction, during which it developed a nuclear weapon in 1949. In these years, the country experienced another major famine and an anti-semitic campaign peaking in the Doctors' plot. Stalin died in 1953 and was eventually succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who denounced his predecessor and initiated a de-Stalinisation process throughout Soviet society.
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Stalin was the subject of a pervasive personality cult within the international Marxist–Leninist movement, for whom Stalin was a champion of socialism and the working class. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Stalin has retained popularity in Russia and Georgia as a victorious wartime leader who established the Soviet Union as a major world power. Conversely, his totalitarian government has been widely condemned for overseeing mass repressions, ethnic cleansing, hundreds of thousands of executions, and famines which caused the deaths of millions.
