Archimandrite Dimitry (Baibakov) is not the first to raise complex projects. He created the Soyuz TV channel from scratch.
The seven-story building grew up in the Lechebny microdistrict - near the church of the healer Panteleimon. Despite the fact that the educational institution functions at the temple, it will be a secular general education school, the priest who built it promises. The doctors of the psychiatric hospital, located next door behind the fence, have already diagnosed him.
A hefty seven-story red brick building looks expensive and impressive. On an area of 7,000 square meters there will be a kindergarten, a school, a gym and a swimming pool. All this was built by a priest - Archimandrite Dimitry (Baibakov). By education, he is a psychiatrist: in his youth he was a practicing doctor - he worked in the neighboring regional psychiatric hospital until he found himself in the ministry. The temple of the healer Panteleimon created by him at first huddled in this hospital, in a small room, which was adapted for a church.
About how the construction of a new, brick temple began, now there is a legend. “One day, Father Dimitry went into the staff room and said: ‘We decided to build a church,’” Svetlana Ladina, editor of the Soyuz Orthodox TV channel, told URA.Ru. - The doctors asked him: “Did you find a rich sponsor?”, to which he replied: “No, we will do it with the help of parishioners.” After that, fellow psychiatrists quickly 'diagnosed' him."
However, surprisingly, things worked out. “Where the bell tower is now, there was a small clearing,” says the priest. - We found her with the hospital administration and began to settle in. And in 23 years they settled down so much that they built a temple, a baptismal room and a church house, in which there is a library and a Sunday school.. Along with the buildings, the parish also grew, not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively - more and more parishioners with children, large families.
“From the city center, my family and I went to the Panteleimon Church, on the eighth kilometer of the Siberian Highway, with small children in our arms by public transport. There was an amazing family atmosphere.”- recalls Svetlana Ladina.
“On Sundays, the temple began to turn into a kindergarten: there were many more children than adults,” recalls Father Dimitry. - I am a monk myself and I am wary of children, because I do not know how to deal with them. But do something with them! And so we decided to continue our complex of buildings and build an educational center that would include a kindergarten and a school.”
The center was built for seven years. "Exclusively for donations - we have no sponsors and benefactors", says the monk. And explains:
“It's one thing when you take money from the budget and use it, it's another thing when you build for yourself: you get completely different prices. Therefore, I will not say how much a square meter cost me. If someone finds out, they will simply come and shoot me, because there are no such prices.”
The building is designed for five groups of kindergarten and 11 classes. Baibakov assures that it will be ordinary, general education - with mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and so on. At the same time, icons and lamps hang in the classroom and in the corridor.
Now one kindergarten group and the first class have been recruited, in which so far there are only 15 people (the room is designed for 25 students). “The education of children has not yet been documented in any way,” the priest admits, “that is why we do not advertise the educational institution. But we will receive all the documents”. Batiushka is sure that he will be able to license the school, referring to the experience of obtaining licenses for television broadcasting (it was he who launched the Soyuz TV channel in Yekaterinburg).
During a tour of the school, Father Dimitri admits that he personally planned the building. It consists of three blocks standing in a "cascade" - so that the school does not "crush" the temple. “I myself am an architect, and a designer, and a designer,” says the priest. “I even designed the cabinets in the classroom myself so that everything was in color.”. A gym is being completed in the first block (it should be launched in November), and a swimming pool will appear in the third block.
Good teachers were hired to teach children - with 30 years of experience. “You can’t call them grandmothers, but they are very experienced teachers”, - says father Dimitri. And the school, and children, and development groups - all services are paid. Baibakov's assistants refused to name the exact cost of training, noting only that it was low - within a few thousand rubles, in order to "beat off" the cost of training.
According to people from the priest's entourage, neither the church nor the school really had any kind of rich sponsor - they collected "a pretty penny" for everything. Colleagues see the secret of the success of his projects in something else. “This is a man who is surrounded by miracles, - Svetlana Ladina says . - But I want to be understood correctly: he never pretended to be a miracle worker, it's just that the Lord, seeing that he is doing the right things, sends him his help. First he created an Orthodox newspaper, then the Resurrection radio channel, then the Soyuz TV channel. It is known that in the midst of construction, Father Dimitry, in order to pay off the builders, sold his apartment.
There is no doubt that the private school of Archimandrite Dimitry Baibakov will be in demand - his temple has long become a kind of cultural center of the microdistrict. “There are a lot of people here who come from the villages of Tubsanatorium, Psychiatric Hospital, Medical, from cottages in the district, - says physical education teacher Olga Reshetkina . - All these children study with us, plus children from the city come. There is a forest around here, fresh air, its own well, a separate territory. We think there will be more and more children.”

Archimandrite Demetrius
Archimandrite Dimitri (Baibakov Dmitry Maksimovich), was born on January 8, 1968 in the city of Talitsa, Sverdlovsk Region, in a family of workers. He grew up in a non-religious family, but was baptized by his grandmother in infancy in honor of St. Demetrius of Prilutsky.

Dmitry Maksimovich Baibakov was born into a large family in city of Talitsa. His grandmother baptized (in honor of St. Dmitry Prilutsky), parents were unbelievers.
“For me, the path to God was the search for Truth. Reading atheistic literature, I saw flaws in the criticism of the Gospel, but my knowledge was not enough. I went to the priest in the temple to ask him to read the primary source - the Gospel. But the first time I was afraid to go to church. Approaching the church fence, I remembered that according to the Constitution, the church is separated from the state, and I could not understand where I would get to when I left the state. In Soviet times, in my opinion, it was much easier to come to God than it is now.
In the Soviet Union, from kindergarten, they taught to be hardworking, honest, kind, to love the Motherland, and these are all Christian values, the authorities brought up a Christian, a Christian without Christ. It is no secret that the commandments of the builder of communism are written off from the 10 commandments of Christ. That system brought up a harmonious personality. In my head, the Komsomol and God were very harmoniously combined at that time. In the “Charter of the Komsomol” there is a fight against religious prejudices, but the Church always fights against religious prejudices.
The Komsomol is the vanguard of youth, but Christians are also the vanguard of mankind. Unfortunately, today in Russia there is no single system of education - one thing at school, another in the family, a third on the street ... Instead of a whole worldview, it turns out okroshka, it tears the soul into pieces. Today in society, in my opinion, we have two healthy systems of education left: the church and the army.
After graduating from high school and serving in the army, Dmitry Baibakov continued his studies, simultaneously serving as an altar boy in the newly opened Church of the Ascension. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1992, while still a student. And in September 1993 the story began Church of the Healer Panteleimon – "the temple that he built Father Demetrius»
.
It was the first in Yekaterinburg temple built at the hospital. At the Regional Psychiatric Hospital, where Father Demetrius worked as a psychiatrist. The temple was built from scratch - they cleared a site in the forest, laid the foundation, and began laying brick walls. Church of the Healer Panteleimon unique to many, including the fact that it is the only one in history Yekaterinburg a case when money for the temple was collected with the help of a telethon.
“I went to medical school because being a doctor is the most humane profession, the most Christian of professions. I wanted to treat especially dangerous diseases, to be a microbiologist, an epidemiologist. But by the end of the institute, I had already served in the temple, and the choice was before me: either the Temple or the department at the institute. I chose the Temple and the specialization of a psychiatrist, having worked for a year and a half after studying in a regional psychiatric hospital.
The work of a doctor is a service, one must give oneself to it completely, one cannot serve two masters. I chose Temple again. The Lord sends signs to every person, whether a person believes in him or not, all the time, one must be able to hear them. A huge temple complex in a forest in a clearing - it was the will of God. If some business does not go, then I do not ask God for something specific. I ask not for what I want, but for the ability to understand what the Lord wants.
Church of the Healer Panteleimon- one of the important places of social service Yekaterinburg diocese. At the temple there is the first Orthodox cabinet in the region for the treatment and rehabilitation of drug addicts, today there are more than ten such cabinets in the region, classes on abortion prevention are held here. The charity canteen is open daily. But Father Dimitry has one more obedience: under his leadership, a church media holding, unique for Russia, was created in Yekaterinburg, which includes 3 newspapers, a printing house, a news agency, a book publishing house, a 24-hour radio station "Voskresenie" and the first Russian Orthodox TV channel "Soyuz", with round-the-clock broadcasting to the entire Northern Hemisphere.
“After the launch of the TV channel, we were strongly criticized: “You can’t do this, everything is not done according to the rules.” Although we already had a newspaper, radio, we did not know how to make television. But you can’t wait for “tomorrow” all your life, you need to do today, what you can do today. Development will always continue. The use of technical means to educate a person is a good deed, I have been and will be a conductor of the will of God. There is no such church media holding anywhere, it's not a matter of personality, there are a lot of talented people in the city. The Bolsheviks decided that Russia would end in Yekaterinburg, but the Lord commanded that a TV channel should appear here.”
On air Soyuz TV channel religious programs do not make up the majority, but all programs are made on the basis of the Orthodox worldview. AT Yekaterinburg managed to create a new television: moral, educative, educational. Under the direction of Father Demetrius did the impossible: in a city of one and a half million people, they found a frequency for broadcasting, launched round-the-clock broadcasting to the entire Northern Hemisphere of the Earth.
“Now, after a while, one can admit: having neither the means, nor experience, nor knowledge, it was possible to create almost from scratch something that never existed - Orthodox television - it was possible only by faith and prayers, feeling the support of the Orthodox. Every transfer Soyuz TV channel accompanied by a ticker - donate 100 rubles to our TV channel. This is public television. The audience likes our channel so much and the number of our viewers is such that we have enough money to broadcast half the world. We keep in close contact with the audience, asking them what they like and what they don't like. Communication with the viewer is varied - phone calls, e-mail, forum, pages in Contact, ordinary letters that I need to read, I need to understand what people think.
From the outside, it might seem that Yekaterinburg enough temples, but dispassionate statistics say otherwise.
"AT Yekaterinburg now there are a little more than 50 churches, but 30 churches exist in adapted premises: in garages, in the hospital lobby ... 50 thousand people - the maximum capacity of all Christian Temples is 1.5 million. Yekaterinburg. If we are talking about the need for moral education of people, then this number of Temples is not enough. The norm is ideally: one Temple for 2000-5000 inhabitants, so that the priest-pastor can educate and instruct the parishioners.
We do not need money from the state for the construction of temples: we organize everything perfectly ourselves. Today, the main problem is land allotment - officials do not give land for the Temples. On the outskirts, in a wasteland, we received land allotment for 8 years in order to build a Temple in honor of St. Luke. We have been collecting papers for another temple for 12 years! We are never told: "No", we are told: "Bring one more certificate." But all the will of God temples in the Urals will be built."
In 1998 Father Demetrius received monastic vows. This important event took place at the famous Ural shrine - Miraculous Chimeevskaya Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos in Kurgan region.
“If I have received a blessing, I go to work. Without wanting - I don’t want, I can - I can’t, there is a mood - there is no mood. Because I can't do it any other way. I am a monk."
The phone rings, a woman's voice in the receiver: - Father, my brother died unbaptized, 64 years old. It is necessary to bury, but where he lived, the priest does not give a "countryman", he swears that they did not call him in time, he drove his relatives out of the church. And my mother is already 86, she is very grieving, I am afraid that she herself will not die. You help me out, dear, give us "land", I feel sorry for my mother. It's not her fault that this happened. He would have been baptized then, in childhood, but there was no church nearby. And when he grew up, he became a communist. He did not recognize God, and refused to be baptized. But, father, he was a good man, even a very good one. Here, why not sing it? After all, it happens that you bury such worthless people, only because they were christened once in childhood, but you don’t agree with my brother, so at least give me a “land”. I did not argue with her, how would I convince her? Her confidence that this "land" would help - if not to her brother, then at least to her mother - was unshakable. Eh, if the funeral performed by me saved the human soul, then I would probably just do what I did, I did. And unbaptized, and suicides, and everyone in a row, just to save them from suffering. Only it’s not the father who saves, and not the “lander”, Christ saves. For the sake of this salvation, a person joins the Church through baptism. Just now, is it really enough to save the soul so, once in deep childhood, to be brought by my mother to the temple? A man was baptized as a baby, and then, after the life he had lived, they brought everything to the same church in the same way, but only for the funeral. What happens between these two events? Well, maybe a person went to church and lit a candle for God, and maybe not even one, but many candles: - Lord, give me what I ask, and I will light candles for You, many candles! Once upon a time in my childhood, and I bargained with Him in the same way before entering the plane for the first time: - Lord, I’ll light two candles for you, Just let me fly safely, - and when they began to take off, I was so ready to “fork out ”And for three ... As if our Lord, as sweet as candy, “overeats” - less often with wax, and more and more with cheap paraffin sticks. Funny. Now, if from the time when the same person was baptized as a baby, and then buried as an adult, nothing else connected with God, then, honestly, people are wasting their strength, and nerves, and money. Even if a person was good, but far from Christ, he is not saved, and no “land” will help here, even with buckets of her rash. Reading the lives of the saints, I noticed that many saints never had time to receive water baptism. When would they do this, if they were executed immediately, as they confessed their faith before the persecutors? Such people are said to be baptized with blood. Instead of being baptized with water and the Spirit, they were baptized with blood and the Spirit. It was as natural for ancient Christians to die for the faith as it was to live in it. We call such people martyrs, or witnesses, witnesses of the faith. Their willingness to endure suffering and accept death, rather than renounce Christ, testified that without faith, earthly life itself lost all meaning for them... Interestingly, do we today understand what we are doing when we baptize our children or are baptized ourselves? Are we able to stand up for our faith to the end, or is it just a game of tradition for us? Of course, someone will say: - So sorry, what does this have to do with it? We, thank God, are already living in the 21st century, and this savagery is a thing of the past. But who in the early 900s would have thought that in just a few years, the executions of Christians, unprecedented in their scale in the entire history of mankind, would begin, and even with torture, as in the Middle Ages? In my understanding, baptism for an adult is the crossing of a certain spiritual Rubicon, after which there is no going back. After baptism, much of what you did before should be forgotten, and now you need to live - according to Christ! During baptism, every time I invite godparents to “blow and spit” on Satan. This proposal almost invariably causes people, if not laughter, then at least a smile. But the breath is the most common exorcist technique in ancient times! I remember how I once baptized a young woman. There were three of us in the temple, me, her and her friend. So, when I blew on her, her knees gave way, and she began to lose consciousness. After we brought her to her senses, I took a breath twice more, and each time she fainted ... And somehow, before spitting on Satan, one student who had been preparing for baptism for a long time suddenly seriously and declares: - Or maybe you don’t need to spit on him? Why should I ruin my relationship with him? It was the first time I had encountered such a thinking person. And an anecdote immediately came to mind ... Remember how grandmother put a candle in front of the icon of St. George the Victorious? George - a candle, and a snake, the old woman invariably showed a fig. And so, in a dream she sees a snake, and he says: - Nothing, grandmother, I'll wait, and then we'll get even with you. Since then, grandmother has already placed two candles in front of the icon: in front of the saint, and in front of the serpent, just in case ... During baptism, a person devotes himself or his child to the service of Good, and forever renounces evil. Although, who knows how ... One day after the service, two women approach the pulpit, one has a child in her arms: - Father, baptize the baby for us, "grandmother" does not accept us without baptism. I answer: - Do you understand what you are asking me? We will baptize the child, dedicate it to God, and you will immediately take it to the fortune-teller? I won't baptize a child for a witch! - How evil you are, father, - one of the women answers. - Is the "grandmother" kind? Why not "help" an unbaptized child? She does not need a child, she needs to mock the shrine! Here you are, and "spit" in the opposite direction. A Russian woman turns to me: - Could you christen a child from a Muslim family? Parents are Tajiks, here we work. A child has been born and they want to baptize it. I answer: - Of course, you can, but why? We will baptize the girl and give her up to non-Christian parents, and who will then teach her the faith? Time will pass, and no one will remember that she was baptized! After all, we must baptize children from believing families. And already parents are obliged to teach their children the faith, to educate them on the basis of the commandments, and most importantly, to give communion to their children. And the more often, the better. If you do nothing of this, then there is no need to baptize children. Sometimes in the families themselves, there is no agreement between the parents on the issue of baptism. It seems to me that in this case there is no need for the other parent to rush and secretly baptize the child. It is impossible to begin the upbringing of a future Christian with deceit. Today there is no persecution, if he grows up, he will decide for himself. Everything will depend on the same Christian mother, whether she will be able to raise a child so that the child follows in her footsteps ... Before baptism, once a week, I hold a meeting with those who are going to baptize children. I remember a couple of young parents coming. I tell them about their duties in Christian upbringing: - I say, - I need to go to church more often. And they report to me that mommy cannot stand in the church, she faints, and daddy does not wear a cross, he is strangling him. Here, such a damaged generation ... Or the case of the godmother. Before baptism, I see that the godmother has a lot of pendants hanging around her neck, but there is no cross. Interested in: - And where is your cross? - Father, I don’t wear it, forgive me generously, but he is choking me. That's the godmother! People do not understand what a heavy cross they put on their shoulders when they become godparents. You haven't raised your child in the faith yet, and you're already taking responsibility for someone else's. Can you do it? If you don’t at least pray for your godson, then the time will come and you will answer for rash words. No one is forcing you to become a godfather. .. Promise God, and then obviously not fulfill the promise - why? Sometimes Catholics and even Muslims are invited as godparents. I ask: - Will a Catholic teach your son Orthodoxy, and even more so a Muslim? - Father, this is my business partner, it would be good for me to intermarry with him for business, - and he tries to steal a pretty penny. And once, they bring the godfather to the baptism. A young man in shorts, a stale T-shirt and sandals on his bare feet. True, on the neck there is a corresponding chain and a golden cross - a little less than my pectoral! I ask my parents: - Well, for such a crucial moment you have not found anyone more decent? The godfather heard and exploded. He swears, and waves a thieves' raspaltsovka in front of my nose. Again I turn to my parents: - And you really suit such a godfather? They quietly told me: - Father, baptize, chickens do not peck at his money. Clear. Gotta take it. In such cases, I do not argue with my parents, why? Should I change them? They will only get angry. Let life teach... Sometimes people cannot overcome themselves and take communion from one spoon with everyone. - I will begin to collect any infection from all mouths - there is nothing, we will manage, they say ... I myself am a person - by nature squeamish, and I will never eat in a cafe or canteen from a plate used by someone and a spoon licked by someone. I won’t swear, I’ll just go and wash it ... And in the temple I commune everyone with one spoon. And moreover, then for everyone, everything that remains in the bowl, I consume after the service. I wash the vessels and the spoon with boiling water, and, again, I do not pour out all this water, but into myself. Nothing, even the smallest drop of relic, should be lost! And if people do not represent the state of health of those who came to communion, then I represent it very well. Today, the path of a person to the church increasingly lies through illness and suffering. After all the patients with oncology, and AIDS, and hepatitis, the priest is the last to consume gifts. And I do not know of a single case when any of us, priests and clerics, fell ill. And if this were not so, the all-powerful SES (sanitary and epidemiological stations) would have “smeared” our last churches in the Soviet years when they were looking for any clue to find an excuse. And all because the Holy Gifts, having an earthly nature, upon consecration, begin to obey heavenly laws, and all that evil that falls from us into the Chalice immediately ceases to exist! Often people are concerned: - And how we need to dress, going to baptism. I always answer: - Dress decently, and how - well, as you can. I never chase women in pants. I remember talking to a girl. And it turns out that she no longer has a skirt in her wardrobe, as such! Nothing, whoever decides to stay in the temple, will eventually sew a skirt for himself, but you don’t need to force anyone, Christ never acted through violence (with rare exceptions). For some reason, the idea is widespread among us that in the temple the most important thing for a woman is to have a headscarf on her head. Look, summer residents come in during the summer, and instead of a headscarf, they cover the crown of the head with a handkerchief. As if the crown of a woman is the most seductive place for a man. Such a beauty in a miniskirt with a handkerchief on her head will stand in front of the icon, pray, and put down the worshiper. And to all the men standing behind her, what to do with their eyes? It’s only the saints who don’t see anything, but we sinners notice everything... And instead of praying, the male half begins to get angry... Covering yourself for a woman means not paying attention to yourself, especially male, and not only cover your head with something ... Look how we depict the Most Holy Mother of God on the icons. This is how women dressed in Her time: simply, and at the same time majestically... Sometimes I hear the following question: - Father, how often do you need to go to church for services, and is it enough to come once a month, or, nevertheless, look more often? I don't know what to answer. A believing person is always drawn to the temple, he is unbearable without the house of God ... And, then, we must begin Sunday with prayer in the temple anyway. What for? Yes, it’s very simple, after two hours in the temple you will go into the world for a whole week, and what kind of Christian you really are will manifest itself outside the temple walls. In the church we are all friendly, welcoming, smiling and loving each other. And in the world we are what we are. So, in order to have the strength to be a Christian, we need to breathe in the shrine during these two Sunday hours, otherwise, where can we gain strength? A woman in her forties is crying in the temple: “Something is happening with my daughter, as she wrote out a passport for herself in a different name, that’s how it all started. She has become impudent, naughty, smokes, does not come home on time. Father, maybe let's cross her, maybe she will again become a kind and loving girl? - Oh, mother, - I think, - if everything were so simple, then we would probably do so ... They only baptize a person once, and then they teach him to be a Human, and they start studying immediately after birth and without interruption mother's faith and mother's prayer. We talked to her, told her about what I'm telling you now. He sympathized with his mother: - Now you have courage, strength and love for your daughter, in order to overcome what she herself raised in her. - Father, no one has ever told me anything about this. If I had known this then, immediately after baptism, then everything would be different with my daughter now! So I'm telling you... Priest Alexander Dyachenko
