Thanks to linking to english-tranlsations of the articles!


Quote from one of the links you posted:
"This relationship / between the Order of Malta and MOE /, which developed when I worked with the head of the Ministry, will be continued and multiplied. This will allow us to provide more assistance to those who need it," - said Shoigu."


Yikes!

Is it the same case in Russia, as it is in the United States, where the "emergency agencies" have nothing to do with "helping" people in situations of natural disasters/other emergencies? If so, it would make sense why the KnightsOfMalta+the Russian "Ministry of Emergencies" seem to be hand-in-hand.

Thanks for the articles/information!
