Addressing the first international festival of the Russian Orthodox media in Moscow on 16 November, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Aleksii II declared that Russia needs "a nationwide Orthodox newspaper, television channel, and radio station" to promote the church's attitude toward "national and international problems," ITAR-TASS reported. Speaking at the same event, Metropolitan of Kaluga and Borovskii Kliment called the creation of special bodies to guard against propaganda, violence, and vice in the media, Interfax reported. "We are talking not about censorship but about intolerance of moral deafness -- this is the only kind of intolerance that should exist in our country," Kliment said. Culture and Mass Media Minister Aleksandr Sokolov suggested that "a source of modern Russian culture should be Russian Orthodoxy and the Holy Writ, in which true spiritual values have been defined forever."
