Freemasons

Masons or "Freemasons", as they call themselves, are secret associations, fraternities composed mostly of rich and respectable people in society. There is no exact knowledge about these associations, especially about their way of working, from which great untruths and conspiracy theories were born, according to which Freemasons try to rule the world. Masons gather in Masonic temples, which can be permanent or temporary objects. They dress in special suits with aprons, white gloves and ribbons. It is speculated that a large number of celebrities are members of Masonic lodges because they invite to their ranks mostly respectable people who have a good reputation. Among the most important rules is that one member must not reveal the names of others from the lodge. Masons must respect the General Charter of the United Nations from 1948 and the laws of their country. They must strive with all their might for the common good of their homeland. Each of the Freemasons, has the responsibilities of the lodge, to advocate in his sector for the fulfillment of the goals agreed upon. But, the question arises, are there Freemasons on a global level, who shape the destiny of the whole world. The United Grand Lodge of England is considered the "mother of all lodges". It was in London on June 24, 1717 that this lodge was created. Masonic symbols are the all-seeing eye, the pyramid and the compass. The Christian church did not have an understanding for Freemasons, but it was never in conflict with them, which is explained by the fact that many of its prominent priests were secretly members of Masonic lodges. The communists also persecuted the Freemasons, so their lodges were temporarily abroad.

One of the famous Freemasons was the Russian writer Leo Nikolayevich TOLSTOY. In his novel "War and Peace", he described the way to enter the brotherhood of Freemasons. There, his main character, Pierre Bezukhov, became a mason after the invitation of one of the prominent members of the masons. He first goes through a ritual ritual of reception, promising to adhere to Masonic principles. At first, he was delighted with the Freemasons because they advocated charity and love for man and the homeland. However, he later noticed that there was disagreement between the Masonic lodges of the then Moscow and Petrovgrad, as well as the interstate lodges. In the end, disappointed, he realized that Freemasons are stronger in words and promises than in deeds.
