MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Tuesday described as
"very gratifying" comments by Pope Francis urging young Russians to remember their history, saying that the Russian state had a rich legacy and that it was good that the Pope knew Russian history.
The Ukrainian government said the comments, which Francis made in a live video address to Catholic youths gathered in St. Petersburg, were"deeply regrettable". "The pontiff knows Russian history and this is very good," he said."It has deep roots, and our heritage is not limited to Peter or Catherine, it is much more ancient."
