Bricker: Russia Has New God
By SUZANNE OLSON Kansan Staff Writer
Russian religion and the concept of a new Russian god were the main topics of a talk given by Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry, at the Faculty of Chemistry on Friday at Westpaint Center.
Bricker's insights about Russian religion stem from a recent seven-month tour of the country in association with a scientific research exhibit at the National States Information Agency.
"Religion has been a great part of Russian society, and one of the greatest countries in all our country attest, but most of religion is in Russia today is religious in itself.
The churches of Russia today,
Briaker said are attended only
twice a month, and the Briaker,
Briaker said, who perpetuate
the orthodox Russian religions.
"THERE is a god of the Russian youth today," he said. "This god is the worship of their immediate hazards of the past 55 years. Those fallen heroes of the revolution and World War II have not been forgotten but remain as important figures in the Russian spirit for its youth today."
Bricker spoke of the huge memorial grounds found in every city, where education to these memorials the people, especially the youth, exhibited. In a series of slides showed pictures of such memorials.
Along with the slides of the museum, there are many slides of Russian temples many of which have been converted into museums, stores, and restaurants.
Bricker's opportunity to visit Russia came about two years ago when the United States Information Agency participated in a scientific research exhibition being sent to the Soviet Union. The purpose of the exhibition, Bricker said, was to understand the background of the American people.
The exhibition consisted of a collection of computers, lunar rovers and telescopes. The American automobiles and other phases of American technology.
BRICKER SAID, "The exhibition touched an estimated 2.4 million Russians. I know there are a lot of Russians who saw a woman try to tear into me trained in this exhibition and couldn't help but be impressed."
The exhibit was first scheduled to be sent to Russia in 1971 but never arrived. It was sent to Soviet and American govern-ment exhibits. The exhibit it was delayed for a year.
Briker left Washington D.C. for Russia in January. Told only that he would be responsible for the hostilities at various times during the day, Briker was surprised to find 25 lectures and demonstrations daily, he said. Monday was the day he had off, he said.
