Pastor Tkachev called on Russians to accumulate "good hatred" for themselves in order not to love their "sins" Pastor Andrei Tkachev advised Russians to love themselves less and urged them to develop "good" hatred for themselves. In his opinion, self-love supposedly leads to love for one's sins and selfishness. "You loved yourself less. Because by loving yourself, you also love the sin that lives in you. It turns out that you love sins, egoist, he loves sins," said the pastor.
