В декабре
2000 года, обеспокоившись судьбой православной девочки Маши Захаровой и её
матери Натальи Захаровой, "Большой Вашингтон" обратился к Папе
Римскому с просьбой рассмотреть данный конфликт в свете происходящего насилия,
нарушения прав Матери и Ребёнка, попрания национально-исторических и семейных
ценностей. Русско-говорящая община Америки, Канады и всего Русского Зарубежья
просит оказать влияние на скорейшее разрешение конфликта. Ниже помещён полный
текст письма, а также ответ, полученный из Ватикана.

To the Pope John Paul
II
His
Holiness Pope John Paul II !
Let us to congratulate You and all Christians under Your blessing Hands with the
New 2001 year and with the New 21 Century!
We wish You the power of Love for all Your prayers, the wisdom and
peace of the Holy Spirit and all the best in Your own life! May our God
Creator, Jesus Christ and His Virgin Mother Mary to protect You
for us forever in everlasting Love!
We have
sent you a letter from our magazine "Greater Washington" and its
Russian speaking readers in the
Now we
are writing you as good friends and your sincere admirers of your prayers and
efforts for all mankind. We need your help very much. We appeal to you on
behalf of our readers to help a child which is in the evil hands now. We speak
about a 5 year Russian-French Orthodox Christian girl, whose name is Maria Zakharova. Her mother, Nataliya Zakharova, Russian actress, was married on a Frenchman and
they got divorced. For about three years a fight is going in
There
were diplomatic efforts from the side of the Russian government, including the
President of Russia, Putin, to resolve this problem.
However the French legislature does not do any moves towards to joining of the
mother and child. The mother even cannot to speak by phone to her daughter to
congratulate her with Christmas (!). Even the orthodox cross was taken out from
Masha.
This
situation is absolutely wrong from all points of view, legal and moral. The
mother did not violate any French law. Nobody has the right to separate mother and
daughter and put the daughter first to an orphanage and then to an adopting
family. The child is a very little and very beautiful but already was harassed
and suffering without mother not only morally but also physically.
We did
not want to speak about these bad things in our congratulation letter.
Unfortunately such things continue to take place in our imperfect world. You
are our great and maybe last hope to help in this complicated international
conflict. God stands above all the countries and human laws. You are the most
powerful Representative in the Ethic Law of Love, Mercy and Compassion gifted
by Jesus Christ to us!
Please,
help this little and sweet Christian child witch we do love all and do
suffering for her together!
Please,
help these too souls to connect forever in love and peace!
Thank You
for all Your efforts, God bless our Holiness Father
In the
name of our readers around the world and Russian Christians in
