俄罗斯东正教会将14世纪王公德米特里·顿斯科伊的遗骨碎片送往乌克兰前线，声称这将在精神上鼓舞俄军士兵并帮助他们取得胜利。1这具圣物包含顿斯科伊右手的一部分，于上周二被运往位于俄占领顿涅茨克地区的Saur-Mogila战争纪念碑，东正教会领导人在该地举行了祈祷仪式。1
顿斯科伊因1380年战胜蒙古金帐汗国而在俄罗斯受到尊崇。1其遗骨是在上月克里姆林宫内大天使长大教堂的修复工程中才被正式发现的，普京曾亲自出席了出土仪式。1虽然顿斯科伊于1988年被册封为圣人，但教会此前近40年都未曾试图发掘他的遗骸。1东正教会历史学家亚历山大·扎内莫涅茨表示，此举似乎是受到战时爱国主义需求的驱动。1今年早些时候，另一位中世纪王公亚历山大·涅夫斯基的遗物也被送往前线。1
The Russian Orthodox Church has dispatched bone fragments of a 14th-century prince to Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, claiming the remains will spiritually inspire soldiers and aid their military efforts 1. The relic, consisting of a portion of the right hand of Prince Dmitri Donskoi, was transported last Tuesday to the Saur-Mogila war memorial located in Russian-occupied Donetsk 1. Orthodox Church leaders conducted a prayer ceremony at the monument.
Donskoi is venerated in Russia for his victory over the Mongol Golden Horde in 1380 1. His bone fragments were formally discovered last month during restoration work at the Archangel Cathedral inside the Kremlin, with President Putin personally attending the excavation ceremony 1. The saint was canonized in 1988, yet the Church had not attempted to exhume his remains for nearly four decades before this discovery 1. According to Orthodox Church historian Alexander Zanemyonets, the decision appears driven by wartime patriotic necessity 1.
Earlier this year, relics of another medieval prince, Alexander Nevsky, were similarly sent to the front lines 1.
