On Charity"Provide yourselves bags which wax not old,
a treasure in the heavens that faileth not,
where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth".The Gospel according to St. Luke (12: 33). Charity as a property of human soul and philanthropy as an aspect of a person's behavior are settled on the religious, primarily, Christian foundation. In the times of theomachism these things were by all means kept close from the Russians, the very idea of philanthropy, in fact, was under a secret ban. Thus, in the four-volume "Russian Explanatory Dictionary", published in 1935-40 under the editorship of the USSR Academy of Sciences corresponding member, D. N. Oushakov, the Charity notion was interpreted as 'rendering material aid to the poor', with the bashful note in brackets - 'archaic'.
