I would like to emphazise this moment, because of great influence of Rousseau on my worldknown countryman Leo Tolstoy. In 1860-s Leo Tolstoy has organized his own school in Jasnaja Poljana for peasant’s children. Great experience, but for the separate talk. Recently I would like to direct our attention once more to the experience of international legislation and actions, which cite the parents’ role and the family to be of primary importance in religious education issues. The situation in modern Russia is also complicated, and the Russian position is quite clear and natural, willing to prevent its culture, where the Russian Orthodox Church is the leading confession. Freedom turned out to be a heavy burden for us. Against the background of the acute tolerance shortage, the desire to live according to one and the only one idea becomes more widespread. And the example of the law enforcement practice of the current Russian education is a vivid example of serious problems of the Russian state-church relations. Now religious organization, first of all the main religions, are looking for the ways of the most efficient and optimal expression of their public role in the conditions new to them. That is why serious ‘problems of growth’. But at the same time there are some facts, causing deep concern. In fact , in 2012 the approbation course has became a mandatory one as a mix from confessional and non-confessional models (“two in one”) for the students of the forth level (10-11 years old). The most favorite course between 6 parts (The basics of Orthodox culture, The basics of Islamic culture, The basics of Buddhist culture, The basics of Jewish culture, The basics of world religious cultures, The basics of secular ethics) is the secular ethics . Russia Moscow SPetersburg Basics of Orthodox Culture 31,7% 23,43 9,46 Basics of Islam Culture 4% 1,02 0,07 Basics of World religions Culture 21,2% 27,7 37,7 Basics of secular Ethics 42,7% 47,4 52,6 To my mind, it will be logically to realize the non-confessional model, to put in the curriculum these instructions for the whole class of students without any division of groups according the faith. Unfortunately, many citizens in Russia exhibit little tolerance and respect for those who are outside the Orthodox tradition and have differing beliefs. But even in the religion of majority there are many problems form one side, and there are so great people, who is trying to realize the religious education in fact, just due to Christian love and duty. I am glad to have known one of such person. The prist of ROC Pavel Adelgeim from the
