For many years, you have performed a noble pastoral mission in Kalmykia. Residents of our republic still remember you and your tireless concern for the Elista and Kalmyk diocese. For me, communication with you has become an invaluable gift.
God's help you, dear Lord, in the fulfilment of your ministry. I wish you patience, health, true Christian joy and the implementation of all that you planned to be in harmony with God. I wish you the help and grace of God in your ministry for the good of the Fatherland! ”
