Thought this would be interested to post since we have a cross section of both MMA fans, traditionalists (for the lack of a better word) and people interested in Eastern European societies:

"I’ve been raised, but not in a religious way. My family is christian orthodox, but we never went to church. But we lived by the general principles, what is good and what is bad, always explained me, always taught me to respect old people. During those times even schools taught us to help the younger, to respect and help the elder. Some kind of hierarchy. In all books, in all stories they told us to do good and the bad was always condemned. So the understandment of good and evil was clear, not like today. Today evil is represented as good and the other way. So it’s necessary to teach children, to show them the right way. First of all you have to set good examples. If you will not live the right way, your kids will not either. "
"We must not forget that teaching of children contributes to the society, school and sportclubs. By this I mean, the childrens environment teach them. I will repeat myself again, that parents’ role is going to play a big part in childrens lives. So they need to teach them what path to take, explain different things, what is good and what is bad. Children will see evil and unjustice in this life. On these things they must react the right way and make the right choises. I think that’s the way. "
