This is almost a recognition for future generations, is not it?

I was interested in the words of A. Nevzorov in his interview on Echo this week:

O. Bychkova― In the history of modern Russia, all murders are mysterious. Because 20 years have passed since Listyev was killed and still nothing is clear.

A. Nevzorov― Yes, everything is clear there. There simply no one will ted that heap anymore, because in fact both the customers and the performers are all dead long ago. And there is, for example, the death of Ridiger, Alexy II, where not even a criminal case was initiated. Where it was lowered on such soft brakes, moreover, I’ll tell you as an anatomist that in order to crush the posterior ear vein by striking the toilet bowl or some hard surface, in a small room, you have to hit this hard surface 15 times, and each time do it with increasing force. Because it is very well protected, and it possesses, anatomists know this, so slippery unpleasant. And there was not even a criminal case. And no investigative experiments and nothing at all.

And here is more about this:

About how the High Priest of Putin's Reich, Patriarch Kirill made his billions of capital by speculating in tobacco and alcohol and oil (exempted from taxes and excise taxes) in the dashing 90s, as he, the head of the gangster empire of the Russian Orthodox Church, eliminated and eliminated his competitors, many wrote. Yes, in those dashing 90s about which he once put it this way:

"That a huge role in correcting this curvature of our history (dashing 90s) you personally played, Vladimir Vladimirovich. I would like to thank you. You once said that you work like a slave in galleys, with the only difference being that the slave did not have such returns, and you have very high returns. ”

All patriarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church, including the current one, are KGB officers:

During the criminal tobacco war of the 90s, the future Patriarch, and then the godfather of the Russian Orthodox Church’s shadow business Vladimir Gundyaev, won, many people were killed, including Zhirinovsky’s assistant Gennady Dzen, a gangster from Smolensk, the head of Roskontraktpostavki, and another his assistant, Alexander Frantskevich. Zhirik himself also took part in this war. In those years, Gundyaev was entrenched with the criminal thug "Tabachny", but now he is more often called another clicher - Lyzhneg, because he loves to ski in the spiritless geyrop country of Switzerland's evergreen porters, where he has his own villa, to which he flies on his own plane .

Materials from the archives of the KGB, examined in 1992 by a parliamentary commission led by dissident priest Fr. Gleb Yakunin,   revealed that most of the church hierarchy was associated with the secret police.

Kirill Gundyaev, 62, was codenamed Mikhailov, and Filaret was identified as an Ostrovsky agent. It is suspected that Clement worked for the KGB under the pseudonym Topaz.

Metropolitan Filaret, who was appointed Metropolitan of Minsk in 1978, was the head of the Department for External Church Relations in the eighties. In 1989, this powerful structure was headed by Metropolitan Cyril.

In addition to the villa in Switzerland, the Tobacco Ski-patriarch has palaces in Peredelkino, in the Danilov Monastery, in Gelendzhik, next to Putin's palace, and a penthouse with a terrace in the House on the waterfront - overlooking the Cathedral of Christ the Savior:

And the former right hand of His Grace - Bishop Victor (Pyankov in the world) now, having stolen, lives in the sinful States as a private person. Surely indulges in fasting and prayers, and, as Zhvanetsky said, "regrets terribly."

Read more in the Novaya Gazeta, as well as or see for yourself:

Since then, the Gundyaev Palace near Gelendzhik, for the sake of which they cut down the protected forest from red and other unique trees, has long been built. Here's how the main priest of Russian morality lives:

The residence of Cyril, which occupied the entire territory from the sea to the highway, not only “bit off” half a kilometer of the public coastal strip and road, but also blocked the last opportunity for people to safely access the forest and the cemetery. Now they need to make a detour no longer than a kilometer, but three kilometers (!), One of which is along the highway.

The “Road of Death” was called this road because people are dying on it.
And all so that some could stick out their belly and no one could see it.

When coming from the shrine of the Rev. comrade Gundyaev, who replaced Alexy II killed by him, the residence area increased 10 times (!), And 12.7 hectares of the State Forest Fund, covered with relict Pitsunda pine, which were built up, cut down or enclosed, were transferred to the church for building, felling and continuous fencing the law PROHIBITED IN PRINCIPLE.

About how the community for many years tried to fight against all these lawlessness, read, there are lots of details, links, photos and documents.

The patriarch still loves not only to teach the people of life (well, for example: “ It is very important to learn Christian austerity ... Asceticism is the ability to regulate one's consumption ... This is a person’s victory over lust, over passions, over instinct. And it is important that both rich and poor possess this quality.»), But also to fray" for "corruption and to brand corruption:

Asceticism is a good thing, especially when your fortune is 4 times that of Rottenberg Sr. and 8 times that of Rottenberg Jr., and this is without taking into account the cost of the almost billionth palace in Gelendzhik.

Such an ascetic codla ...

P.S. According to the famous philosopher Boris Paramonov, what Patriarch Gundyaev has in common with the spiritless geyropa is not only that he goes skiing there, like Pastor Slack. As it turns out, the patriarch himself:
“One could talk about similar scandals in the Russian Orthodox Church. But then Deacon Kuraev already told a lot. Unless you remember that the homosexual was the Metropolitan of Leningrad Nikodim (Rotov), \u200b\u200bwhich everyone knew, even my church-in-law mother-in-law. His current patriarch was with him, as they say in church language, "night cell attendant" or, as Wikipedia says, "fulfilled the obedience of a personal secretary."

Church manager Jewish by nationality Kirill Gundyaev (Vekselman) takes all the national and state to his hands ...

St. Isaac's dispossession: cult instead of culture ...
Photo 1.

In the case of the transfer of the public and state St. Isaac’s Cathedral to a commercial organization, ROC CJSC is somewhat annoying that the said ROC does not have any rights to this monument of culture, art and architecture of world significance. It is annoying that such dispossession takes place everywhere throughout the country. For example, in Perm, as a result of the transfer of the former cathedral or Gallery into the ownership of ROC CJSC, three such secular cultural institutions as an art gallery, a local history museum and a Perm zoo were thrown out of it.

  As a result of this dispossession, local budgets laid down concerns for the construction and transfer to new places of all these organizations. Instead of allocating funds for the Russian Orthodox Church to build one new cathedral in return for the seized one, the budget should now spend three times as much for all dispossessed. This is not the bossy way. I’m not talking about the moral side.

In 2000, we had 68 thousand schools, and now there are 44.7 thousand according to 2013 data. There were 2.9 thousand operating churches of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1990, and now their number is approaching 30 thousand. Schools and hospitals are closing, but like mushrooms, new churches and monasteries of the Russian Orthodox Church are opened after rain. As Putin’s less fortunate predecessor used to say: no hygiene for the Slavs — only vodka and tobacco. Putin adds to this a dope of religion. (burckina-new)

Well, norg_norg issued on the topic;
In this particular case, there can be no talk of any restitution of speech. St. Isaac's Cathedral always belonged to the ministry of the court, and not to the parish. Robbery and racket in its purest form!

According to the official biography, on the paternal side, the patriarch - mordvin, (the surname Gundyaev from the old Mordovian name Gundiai is “fellow countryman”, “zema.” An interesting detail: the patriarch-reformer Nikon is also believed to be ... a Mordvin! True, his implacable ideological opponent Protopop Avvakum claimed that he was cheremis after his father (Mari), and his mother was a “mermaid” (that is, Russian). Sam. Nikon considered himself a Russian. It is also interesting that Patriarch Nikon and Archpriest Avvakum were born almost in .... neighboring villages, near Nizhny Novgorod. One is in Veldemanovo, the other is in Grigorovo).

Grandfather - Vasily Gundyaev  - priest - went through 47 prisons and 7 exiles, spent almost 30 years in prison. He was serving a term, including on Solovki. I went to jail because I was fighting against the renovation of the church, which at one time was inspired by the Cheka.

A native of Lukoyanovsky district, was a machinist by training, he began to study theological literature. In 1922 he ended up in Solovki under the denunciation of the Renovationists (a religious movement that opposed the Orthodox Church after the revolution and was supported for some time by the Bolsheviks), of which he was an adversary. But even in the camp Vasily did not give up his faith, held secret services, for which he once spent a month in a punishment cell. The Christian stayed in exile until 1955.

Vasily Stepanovich Gundyaev.

Father is a priest Mikhail Vasilievich Gundyaev  (January 18, 1907 - October 13, 1974). He graduated from the Higher Theological Courses in Leningrad; he served two years in the Red Army, in 1933 he graduated from the Mechanical College, entered the Leningrad Industrial Institute. Initially, he planned to go to study as a doctor, but because of the mark on theological courses in his personal file, he was “wrapped up”. But he did not finish it - he was accused of political disloyalty, arrested and sentenced to 3 years. He was arrested in 1934 on the “Kirov case” for his service in the church and singing on the choir - just a few days before the wedding. Mikhail was accused of attempting the life of Joseph Stalin. He served time on Kolyma.

Mikhail Vasilievich Gundyaev.

After the war, on March 9, 1947, he was ordained deacon, on March 16 of the same year, to the priest, Metropolitan Grigory (Chukov) of Leningrad, and was appointed to the church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God on Vasilievsky Island.

In 1951 he was transferred to the Transfiguration Cathedral, where he acted as assistant rector. In 1960 he was transferred to the rector of the Alexander Nevsky Church in Krasnoye Selo; then Seraphim Church, in 1972 - became rector of the St. Nicholas Church on Big Okhta. (If I’m not mistaken, it was relatively recently revealed that the father of the village of Kirill (Gundyaev) baptized ... little Vova Putin! If this is true, then how symbolic is all this, is it not? - Ed.)

Mother - Raisa Vladimirovna Gundyaeva  (November 7, 1909 - November 2, 1984); as a girl, Kuchina, taught German at school. Also, as a religious person, she sang with pleasure in the church choir, where she met her future husband.

Parents of Patriarch Kirill.

Together with his wife, Mikhail spent three years in Kolyma, then returned to Leningrad, worked at the factory. In 1940, the first-born Nikolai was born. During the war years, Michael helped strengthen the city during the siege, in 1943 went to the front. After the victory, the family began to live in a city recovering from the blockade, their second son Vladimir, the future patriarch, was soon born.

Patriarch Kirill (Vladimir Gunyadev) in childhood.

At this time, the state began to establish dialogue with the church, and therefore Gundyaev, risking losing his high position in society, nevertheless asked for ordination. In 1947, Michael was elevated to the rank of deacon and assigned to the temple of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God.

This is the official biography.

However, as stated by https://vena45.livejournal.com/5055996.html, "...   no less “strange” fact became known from the biography of Patriarch Kirill - it turns out that his mother had the maiden name Vekselman! And this means that our patriarch from the Russian Orthodox Church ... is a halachic Jew (!) Well, that explains a lot then (his servile “meeting” with Pope Francis, in particular!) ... and also the “improved” cross on the Head of the Patriarch is as well as a lack of general education and a MORE THAN STRANGE attraction to ecumenism (on this subject see his very frank speech in Canberra (1991) in the video below, - ed.).

Quote: “... At least we recall the speech of September 21, 2010 by Metropolitan Kirill - Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyaev, who publicly called the Slavs beasts (See: - Ed.). And this becomes understandable and understandable if you know the maiden name of Cyril’s mother - Vekselman ... "

Vladimir Gundyaev - Bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church (Stages of the Great Way!)

1) BEFORE you start your church activity graduated from eight classes of high school.   He also tried himself in geology - since 1962 he worked as a cartographer in the Leningrad geological expedition. After three years of fruitful work, he entered the theological seminary, and upon graduation, he entered the theological academy of the city of Leningrad.

In 1969, Vladimir was tonsured a monk and named Cyril. A year later, he graduated with honors from the Academy, with a Ph.D. in theology. From August 30, 1970, he obeyed the personal secretary of Metropolitan of Leningrad Nicodema (Rotova). The latter was a secret Catholic and even had the rank of ... cardinal! Moreover, Hierodeacon Andrei Kuraev published on his blog a letter from a homosexual who insists that Nicodemus (Rotov) himself was ... such!

Today, few laity know that Nicodemus (Rotov) died in 1978 ... at the feet of the Pope, at a reception in the Vatican! This is the same "bishop" who, even during the life of St. Blessed Pelagia of Ryazan predicted: "You will die like a dog at the feet of the Pope, if you go there."

Vladimir Gundyaev and Metropolitan Nicodemus.

In 1971, Hieromonk Cyril was elevated to the rank of Archimandrite. A great achievement of his path was the appointment of Cyril as the representative of the Moscow Patriarch in Geneva, where the World Council of Churches is held. (more than a strange and dizzying career in 2 years from a simple monk to an archimandrite !!!)

On January 27, 2009, at the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, he was elected the 16th Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, gaining 508 votes out of 677 (75%).

On February 1, 2009, metronization of Metropolitan Cyril to the patriarchal dignity was held. Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

On March 11, 2009, during a trip around the country, he said that the main criterion in assessing the activities of the Church should be the moral state of society, and not the fullness of churches.

April 16, 2009, on Maundy Thursday, committed leg rank  “For the first time in recent history.”

One of the first scandals that arose with the mention of the name of Metropolitan Kirill was the case of using tax incentives for the import of alcohol and tobacco products in the early 90s. An article was published which spoke about the Metropolitan's personal interest in transactions on the import of excisable goods. However, the vast majority of religious leaders said that this was nothing more than a provocation; A planned campaign that aims to tarnish the name of an honest person.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a newspaper journalist "Moscow's comsomolets"Sergei Bychkov accused Metropolitan Kirill of using tax privileges provided by the government in the early 1990s for the import of alcohol (church wine) and tobacco products.

According to the newspaper, the import and export of tobacco products was handled by the financial and trade group Nika, whose vice president was Archpriest Vladimir Veriga  - Commercial Director of the Department for External Church Relations, which was led by Cyril. Journalist Sergei Bychkov has published a number of articles about this business.

Then Metropolitan Kirill, while acknowledging the fact of import transactions on behalf of the DECR, repeatedly denied accusations of personal interest, he called such publications “a very specific political order,” moreover, “not newspapers, but one newspaper” write about it.

The new "Russian Symphony" of power: Patriarch Kirill and Vladimir Putin.

After the collapse of the USSR, the Commission of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of Russia to investigate the causes and circumstances GKChP  from the sources transferred to her concluded that the authorities KGB  The USSR church organs were used for their own purposes by recruiting and sending KGB agents to them.

That is, some of the hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church were agents KGB. Based on a comparison of the well-known overseas trips of Agent Mikhailov and Vladyka Kirill, the commission had an opinion about the identity of Vladyka Kirill and Agent Mikhailov. In 2003, a member Moscow Helsinki Group  priest Yuri Edelstein sent a letter to the President of Russia V.V. Putin, where he also accused Metropolitan Kirill of having links with the KGB.

(This issue was also dealt with by the recently forbidden priest Gleb Yakunin, who, having become a deputy of the Supreme Council, had access to the KGB archives. At the same time, it turned out that almost all bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church were obliged, unfortunately, to agree to cooperate with state security. At the same time, operational pseudonyms were assigned: Nikodim (Rotov) had the nickname "Stanislav", Metropolitan Pitirim (Nechaev) - "Abbot", p. Alexy (Ridiger) - "Drozdov", p. Kirill (Gundyaev) - "Mikhailov", etc. See the subject below on this subject - ed.)

In 2005, Cyril supported the position of mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov  on the ban on holding a parade of sexual minorities in the city. In an interview with Spiegel magazine in January 2008, he also confirmed his unconditional condemnation of homosexuality, but spoke out against the persecution of people with a homosexual orientation ( they have the right to live as they see fit) A strange position for the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, is not it? Maybe here you can feel the influence of the very same Nicodemus (Rotov), \u200b\u200bwhom p. Cyril today is so dignified and extolled ?!

Regarding “healers and psychics”, p. Kirill, as far as is known, did not speak out, but judging by the photos below, he also experiences a completely “tolerant” attitude towards them. At least to Juna Davitashvili, who, it seems, did not hide the source of her "talent"!

At the beginning of 2012, a scandal arose over a court case for damages to an apartment owned by the Patriarch, the defendant of which was a resident of the neighborhood Yuri Shevchenko. Relative of P. Cyril Lidia Leonova discovered in his apartment a thick layer of dust. The arriving commission decided that the substance had fallen from the apartment below - its owner, academician and clergyman of the UOC MP Yuri Shevchenko was making repairs. According to the position of the plaintiff registered and residing in the patriarchal apartment Lydia Leonova  and the court’s decision, on the basis of an examination carried out by IONH experts, the dust from repairs in Shevchenko’s apartment contained hazardous components, including nanoparticles and carcinogens, and caused damage to the Patriarch’s apartment, furniture and book collection.

The claim amounted to about 19.7 million rubles. Such a large amount of the lawsuit and the unclear status of Leonova caused numerous critical articles in the media and discussion in the blogosphere. In conversation with a journalist Vladimir SolovievThe patriarch explained that he was not related to the lawsuit filed by his second cousin Leonova, registered in his apartment. The "Holy" property owner explained that the apartment was donated to him by Deputy Yury Luzhkov by order of Boris Yeltsin, while the patriarch "did not live in it for a week," but handed it over to his second cousin, Lydia Leonova.

At the same time, P. Kirill argued that the money that Leonova, the former Minister of Health Shevchenko had paid in the lawsuit, would go to the library for cleaning and charity.

When after the scandal with the property damaged by dust it became clear that in the ill-fated apartment of Patriarch Kirill on the street. Serafimovich was prescribed by a certain Lidia Mikhailovna Leonova, the hype was expected to rise in the press. From her biography, the journalists found out only that she was the daughter of the cook of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU.

Journalists believe that in this photo Vladimir Gundyaev was photographed with Lidia Leonova and their ... son.

Despite the fact that the patriarch personally called her his second cousin, she was called in the press “the cohabitant of Kirill Gundyaev,” and himself “an exemplary family man,” and they even cited their 1988 photograph together. However, the statement about any love affair between them does not stand up to criticism, because Patriarch Kirill completely abandoned his personal life in the name of serving the Lord. Accordingly, he cannot have a wife (and especially a cohabitant) and children.

In 2011 on its pages "New Newspaper"  reported that the protection of the Patriarch is carried out by employees of the Federal Security Service ( FSO), despite the fact that the Patriarch is not a civil servant. In December 2011, a special amendment was introduced to the federal law “On Protection”. In accordance with it, taxpayers now pay not only for the protection of officials, but also for “other persons”. The government ranked the head of the Russian Orthodox Church as one of these “other persons”, giving him protection because of the supposedly large number of threats received by Cyril from “militant atheists”.

The fact of the presence of state protection at the Patriarch was confirmed to Gazeta.Ru by the head of the press service of the Patriarch, Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky, emphasizing that: "such a decision was made by President Yeltsin." However, Patriarch Alexy was guarded much more modestly, according to scheme number three - “it’s just our car plus accompanying employees”. Now the protection of the Patriarch is carried out according to the “presidential scheme”. This scheme includes “work on the route of movement, at the place of stay, at the exit. Plus escort. In total, more than 300 employees are involved in the protection of the Patriarch, ”a source in the FSO press service said.

In 2012, Patriarch Kirill at a meeting with the Minister of Justice Alexander Konovalov  once again “trumped” with his watch “Breguet” for 20 thousand dollars. The servants of the press service of the patriarchy wiped the clock in Photoshop, but forgot about their reflection on the table. This fact did not escape the attention of bloggers who, as soon as possible, made this news No. 1. Further, with the filing of Patriarch Kirill himself, the story with the clock received an even more unexpected continuation. First, the Patriarch called the photo with “Breguet” a photoshop, and then unexpectedly recognized the watch as a “gift”.

The patriarch’s clock disappeared from the photograph, but remained in reflection.

year 2014. Another scandal broke out in connection with the congratulation of p. Cyril Petro Poroshenko  with a victory in the presidential elections in Ukraine. Moreover, p. Kirill did this earlier than the president of the Russian Federation.

« Together with many people, I hope that the authority that today is in your hands will serve the good of the east, the west, the north and the south of Ukraine“, Said Patriarch Kirill.

Many considered Poroshenko’s congratulation on behalf of the Russian Orthodox Church an insult to the inhabitants of eastern Ukraine against whom the war was unleashed, as well as an insult to the Russian people, against which, thanks to the efforts of the new Ukrainian government, a propaganda war is being waged.

p. Kirill (Gundyaev) takes a golden apple from the hands of a New York rabbi.

But what the rules of St. Apostles:

62. If one of the clergy, fearing a man, Jew, or Hellenic, or heretic, renounces the name of Christ: let him be rejected from the church.

65. If one of the clergy or layman enters the Jewish or heretical synagogue to pray: let him be cast out from the holy place and be excommunicated from the church.

70. If someone, a bishop, or a presbyter, or a deacon, or in general from the list of clergy, fasts with the Jews, or celebrates with them, or accepts from them the gifts of their holidays, such as: unleavened bread or something like that: let it be erupted. If a layman, let him be excommunicated.

In the Moscow synagogue.

Late September 2015 Public Network Traffic "Open Russia"funded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, published on the Internet a photo report allegedly from the rest of the Russian patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Kirill on a luxury yacht Azimut »costing about 680   thousand euros.

In February 2016, for the first time in history, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church met with the pope. Patriarch Cyril and Pope Francis called each other “brothers”, kissed, took pictures and, having escorted journalists from the conference room, began a conversation that lasted more than two hours.

Meeting of Patriarch Cyril and Pope Francis.

And a little later, in the same year, p. Cyril almost went to the "Pan-Orthodox Council", which many Orthodox call nothing more than - WOLF! That is what our saints of different centuries and recent years called this gathering in their predictions!

We should add to this the sad prediction that one of the spiritual children about. Nikolai Ragozin, which she talks about in the first part of the great film of Hierodeacon Avel (Semenov), "The Salt of the Earth." This prophecy was expressed by the blessed old woman who lived in their village: “The last patriarch - DOES NOT SAVE!” (The film can be watched: - Ed.). Believe these words or not believe - decide for yourself ...

On November 12, 2012, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill visited the Yad Vashem memorial complex in Jerusalem. The Primate of the Russian Church took part in the ceremony of lighting the eternal flame in the Hall of Remembrance and laid a wreath at the memorial.

The Pope has already abandoned the cross, and p. Cyril ... "improved."

☦ ☦ ☦ ELDERS ABOUT TRADITORS IN THE RYAS:

“There will be a fall in the Russian clergy. By their silence, the clergy will lead the flock to the Antichrist. Often enemies will disguise themselves as priests - wear beards, people will turn to them, and they will lead the herd into a pack of wolves ”(Archimandrite Tavrion).

“They wear Orthodox cassocks, only to seduce the herd, and not to save” (Fr. Anthony).

“Almost all the clergy will betray the Lord, will be deceived by numbers, for all this is a renunciation of Christ, and not just a renunciation, but a repetition of Judah’s betrayal” (Schiarchimandrite Christopher).

“There will be very few true shepherds; everyone will accept passports” (Archpriest Nikolai Ragozin).

“The rich priests crucified the Lord! Wealthy priests overthrew the King! Wealthy priests will lead us to the Antichrist! ”(Divine Wife of St. Pelagius of Ryazan).

St. Anthony the Great (+358): “The time will come, my children, when the monks leave the deserts and flow instead to rich cities, where instead of these deserted caves and tight cells they built proud buildings that could argue with the chambers of kings; instead of poverty, love for collecting wealth will increase; humility will be replaced by pride; many will be proud of knowledge, but naked, alien to good deeds corresponding to knowledge; love will cool; instead of abstinence, gluttony will multiply, and many of them will take care of luxurious dishes no less than the laity themselves, from whom the monks will not differ in anything else, like a robe and a chief, and, despite the fact that they will live among the laity, they will call themselves solitary . Moreover, they will be magnified, saying: I am Pavlov, I am Apollosov, as if the whole strength of their monasticism lies in the dignity of their predecessors; they will be magnified by their fathers, as the Jews by their father Abraham. But at that time there will be those who turn out to be much better and more perfect than us; for it is more blessed that he who could transgress, and did not transgress, and did evil, and did not do, than he who was attracted to good by a mass of zealots striving for it. ”
Saint Nifont of Tsaregradsky (XV century): “Recently, those who in truth will serve God will safely hide themselves from people and will not perform signs and wonders among them, as they are at present, but they will go through the work, dissolved in humility, and in the Kingdom There will be more Fathers in heaven who are famous for signs. My son! Until the end of the century, the saints will not be impoverished! But in recent years they will hide from people and will please God in such humble wisdom that they will appear in the kingdom of heaven above the first miraculous fathers. And such a reward for them will be that in those days there will be no one in their eyes who would work miracles, and people themselves will perceive the zeal and fear of God in their hearts, for at that time the rank of the bishop will not be and will not become love wisdom and reason, and will only care about self-interest. The monks will be similar to them from the possession of large estates; from the vain glory their spiritual eyes will be darkened, and they will have in neglect those who love God with all their heart; the love of money in them will reign with all power. But woe to the monks who love gold: they will not see the faces of God! Chernets and whites, which give rise to gold, if they do not soon lag behind this evil, will be called extortionate here, and their prayer will not be accepted, and fasting without benefit, and offering a sacrifice to God, and alms - all will be counted as an abomination and desecration to them. They will go along a broad path ... But I do not want to talk much about them. For I myself, from youth to old age, did not care for my salvation. Know that all malice from the ignorance of Scripture will increase. ”

The plot below is made in a cheeky and vulgar manner that we completely disapprove of. However, some important facts cited in it made us post it on our website so that people knew the truth!

And once again to the question of the current "Russian Symphony" of power:

Take a look  into that face and think about it  in these words!

I would like to answer these "philosophies" of the Patriarch: so DO NOT deny the truth of God, and DO NOT DESTROY the world with your lies!

And note that the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill in his sermons in no way talks about meanness and treachery jewish Jews hordes of which, like an all-devouring locust, made an invasion of Russia in the late XIX - early XX century. But after all these are them, jewish jewswho organized secret circles in the Russian Empire marxists  and socialistshad before   target, according to the writer Dostoevsky, preventively "depose that faith, that religion, from which the moral foundations that made Russia holy and great came out! "to them jewish Jews , it was easier then to make my jew revolution   in 1917.

Who were these jewish Jews   for the Russian people?

They, too, like Adolf Hitler, appeared "the punishment of God" for our people?

For what, for what sins ???

For the fact that the Russian people until 1861 was completely powerless, serfs, including thanks to the policy of the Russian Orthodox Church?

"All power is from God!"  - assured the people from century to century priests who called themselves followers of Christ.

BUT the "Jewish revolution"  was from God or from the Devil ?!

If everything is from God, then WHAT is from the Devil?

So, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia is sure that in "apostasy" The Russian People are to blame for the Russian People!

About jewish Jews who are led Leibi Davidovich Bronstein   (Trotsky), and who joined him later Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov  (Lenin) committed the very "the atheistic revolution"Kirill Gundyaev stubbornly does not want to remember or speakthereby denying God's truth!

Kirill Gundyaev does not want to tell the truth about the fact that God's punishmentfor jewish Jews  the great Son of the Georgian people came to power over the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin  (Dzhugashvili), which in the 30s of the XX century passed through chekist "purgatory"  first followers of Leiba Trotsky, who stained their hands in the blood of the Russian People, and then many followers of Vladimir Lenin, who were no different from the "Trotskyists" in their bloodthirstiness.

The most memorable and hottest for jewish Jews  were 1937-1938that went into all history textbooks as "STALIN REPRESSIONS".

And in the next 1939Stalin launched the process of gradual revival in the Soviet people Russian Orthodox faith.

The Central Committee decides:
  1) To recognize that it is inexpedient to continue the practice of the bodies of the NKVD of the USSR regarding the arrests of ministers of the Russian Orthodox Church, the persecution of believers.
  2) The instruction of comrade Ulyanov (Lenin) of May 1, 1919 No. 13666-2 “On the fight against priests and religion”  and all relevant instructions of the Cheka-OGPU-NKVD regarding the persecution of ministers of the Russian Orthodox Church and Orthodox believers - cancel.
  3) the NKVD to conduct an audit of convicted and arrested citizens in cases related to worship. Release from custody and replace the punishment with non-custodial sentences for those convicted for the indicated reasons, if the activities of these citizens did not harm the Soviet regime.
  4) The question of the fate of believers in custody and in prisons belonging to other faiths, the Central Committee will make an additional decision.

This is what case in the history of the USSR we can say that "the punishment of GodIs the manifestation of God's truth! This is a manifestation of divine justice, without which there can be no world! "

it phenomenon "God's truth and divine justice" embodied  on Russian Earth in the image Joseph Stalin! And not in the image Adolf Hitler! - as the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia assures everyone today Kirill Gundyaev.

Hitler  and his henchman   Goebbels  if they were the personification of some Higher power, then it is exclusively opposite to God - the devil. Evidence of this - constant falseJoseph Goebbels, who held the post of Minister of Education and Propaganda in Nazi Germany and had the nickname - "ace of misinformation".

Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels. Well, pure "Aryans"!

According to the Christian gospels, the devil is the father of lies. And if the Nazis were originally slanderers  and disinfectors, then what power could they personify? Only the devil!

Draw a parallel with the present day: a pure “Ukrainian” Poroshenko-Valtsman with a “Ukrainian” kagal does all the same in Ukraine.

For the reader to be convinced of everything himself, as I said above, below I want to give a fragment of the speech of Joseph Goebbels, which he delivered at the annual party congress of the NSDAP on September 13, 1935.

“Bolshevism clearly states that its goal is world revolution. At its core are aggressive and international aspirations. National Socialism, on the other hand, is limited to Germany alone and is not a product for export - both in terms of abstract and practical properties. Bolshevism denies religion as a principle, in its entirety. In religion, he sees only "opium for the people." National Socialism, on the contrary, protects and supports religious beliefsgiving priority in its program faith in God  and that supernatural idealism, destined by Nature itself to express racial the spirit of the people. National Socialism can serve as an example for a new concept and a new form of European civilization. The Bolsheviks launched a campaign led by the Jews   and with the participation international organized crime , against culture as such. Bolshevism is not only against the bourgeoisie, but also generally against human civilization. Its final outcome will be the destruction of all the commercial, social, political and cultural achievements of Western Europe in favor of nomadic international conspiracy that has no roots and finds expression in judaism . This grand attempt  to destroy the civilized world is fraught with great danger, because communist internationalbeing a master misleading, managed to find patrons and pioneers in a large part of these intellectual circles of Europe, the physical and spiritual destruction of which will be the first result world Bolshevik Revolution.

Bolshevism, which is actually an attack on the world of personality, pretends to be the light of reason. Where circumstances so require, he appears wolf in sheep's clothing. But under deceitful mask, which he here and there puts on himself, invariably lurk evil forces   to destroy the world. Where he had the opportunity to put his theories into practice, he created the so-called "worker-peasant paradise" in the form of a giant desert of poor and hungry people. If we look at his doctrines, we will see a glaring contradiction between his theory and his practice. In theory, he is passionate and grandiose, but poison is hidden behind his attractive appearance. In fact, he is scary and terrible. It can be seen from million victimsbrought to his altar - with a sword, ax, hunger, executioner's rope. His teachingpromises unlimited "power of workers and peasants", a classless social system protected by the state from exploitation; he preaches an economic principle in which "everything belongs to everyone," and that in this regard, peace will finally come around the world.

Millions of workers with a beggarly salary that simply cannot be imagined in Western Europe; millions of grieving and suffering peasants from whom their land was taken, devastated and ruined crazy experiment  paralyzing collectivism; hunger, from which millions of people die every year   (and this is in a country of such a gigantic extent that it can serve as a breadbasket for all of Europe!); creation and equipping of the army, which, according to the statements of all the leading Bolsheviks, will be used to carry out world revolution; rude and ruthless management of this leading to the abyss state and party apparatus handful of terroristsconsisting mostly of the Jews , - all this speaks a completely different language, and the world cannot listen to it indefinitely, because this is a story about nameless suffering and unimaginable hardships that it suffers people  with a population in one hundred sixty million people…»   (J. Goebbels. "Communism without a mask").

As I said, Goebbels propaganda of the truth has always been 90%, and only 10% of lies. The truth here is that the revolution in Russia did jewish Jews  . This fully coincides with the sense that propheticallyset out in his "Diary of a Writer" in 1877 Fedor Dostoevsky.

WHAT is the lie here? Goebbels had always and everywhere had a lie!

The lie was to claim that "the Jewish Bolsheviks were atheists and terrorists" , but deutsch "National Socialism, by contrast, was advocate  religious beliefs that prioritized their program faith in God  and that supernatural idealism, destined by Nature itself to express racial spirit of the people" .

Actually and jewish Bolsheviks , and Hitler   from Goebbels  and their whole team national socialists   (as well as all the current Ukrainian-Jewish leadership) "one field of the berry." They were always on one side of the "barricades" and personified and personified the same devil essence . This eloquently proved the Second World War, unleashed Adolf Aloisovich (Schicklgruber) Hitler  in 1939.

The civil war in Ukraine today unleashed it before our eyes, unleashed by the Waltzmen, small capitals, ethinzons, frotmans, Kolomoisk ...

As for the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, then he, obviously, because of THESE WORDS on the belt buckles of German soldiers "GOD WITH US" ("GOTT MIT UNS") done outputthat the second world war was God's punishment   for almost two hundred million soviet people "for the terrible sin of the apostasy of the whole nation, for trampling the shrines, for blasphemy and mockery of the Church, of shrines, of faith!"

See how bold the “ace of misinformation” was in criticizing the Jews in 1936 in the city Nurembergin which subsequently at the insistence Joseph Stalin  took place international military court  above the Nazis.

“... One more question needs to be clarified. The question of the role that Jewry plays in relation to Bolshevism. It can only be openly discussed in Germany, since in any other country (as it was not so long ago in Germany itself) it is dangerous even to simply mention the word “Jew”. There is no doubt that the founders of Bolshevism are Jews and what exactly they represent it.

Old leadership class of Russia  was so thorough destroyedthat no other management group other than the Jews   there simply wasn’t. Thus, any conflict inside Bolshevism  - this is to one degree or another intrafamily   conflict(disassembly)   between the Jews .

Recent executions in Moscow, i.e. executions jews Jews , can only be understood from positions thirst for power and desire to destroy all competitors. The opinion that the Jews   always in perfect harmony with each other - a widespread misconception. In fact, they are united only when they constitute a minority that is controlled and threatened by a large national majority. Today's Russia is no longer the case. After the Jews   seize power (and in Russia they have unlimited power!), again the old ones make themselves felt jewish rivalries that were temporarily forgotten because of the danger that threatened their people.

The idea underlying Bolshevism, that is, the idea of \u200b\u200bcomplete destruction and destruction of decency and culture for the sake of diabolical goal   extermination of peoples, could only be born in jewish brain , just like the Bolshevik practice, with its monstrous cruelty, is possible only if it is managed the Jews . According to their nature, these the Jews   Do not show their faces openly. They work underground, and in Western Europe they even try to deny that they have anything in common with Bolshevism. So they always behaved, and so they will continue to behave.

THIS SPEECH HAS BEEN SPEAKED BY Goebbels in Nuremberg!

THIS SIMPLY CANNOT BE CUSTOMIZED IN THE HEAD OF A NORMAL PERSON!

LOOK AT SEMITIC FEATURES  Goebbels' “ARIAN,” who calls for the destruction of his own fellow tribesmen, whom he accuses of all mortal sins!

To summarize.

All of the above is enough to conclude: the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Kirill Gundyaev  in its statement that the most bloody world War  was sent soviet people  as "the punishment of God"clearly confused Of God  from The devilunder which christian teaching  understands the following essence:

Devil(Greek: diabolos - slanderer) - a fallen angel, who, because of pride, rebelled against God and lost his angelic dignity, admitted by God to tempt people to determine their free will for good. The devil always wishes man only evil, his goal is the destruction of man. According to the testimony of the Holy Scriptures, the beginning of sin comes from the devil. “Whoever commits sin is from the devil, because at first the devil sinned” (1 John 3: 8). .

As for Hitler and Goebbels, they, like bible devilby their "good intentions"  not literally, but literally paved to hundreds of peoples of the planet road to hell.

It turns out that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Kirill  blind by his mind and cannot distinguish affairs of the devil   from god's works?

And if he is not blind? And if he maliciously appears today as Goebbels, misinforming the people about God's providence and the works of God?

And look, the Church, bearing the name of Christ the Savior, doesn’t speak a word about criminal activity today. jewish Jews   neither in world history, nor in the history of Russia!

And why?

Maybe because today we have in Russia not christian  Church and judeo-Christian ?!

Goy brothers! I ask you to draw your attention to the last fragment of the speech of the Jew-hater Goebbels. This speech can be applauded. This is perhaps the only speech by Goebbels in which he revealed to us the true essence of his fellow tribesmen. This is probably the first time that jew   told the TRUTH.

SCARY TRUTH!

The transfer to Smolensk was a reduction for Archbishop Kirill and testified to disgrace from the side of state supervisory authorities ("... There are various rumors about the reasons for which he fell out of favor. Some associate this with his reformatory activity in the field of worship: he is not only He practiced the use of the Russian language in worship, but also served in the evening, and not in the morning, as is customary in the Russian Orthodox Church until now. Another reason for the removal of Vladyka Kirill from the "northern capital" of Russia is his refusal to vote against the resolutions and the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches, which condemned the entry of Soviet troops into Afghanistan. Meanwhile, he didn’t vote “for”, he just “abstained”, which, by the way, was almost a feat at that time. "- Natalia Babasyan. Star Metropolitan Cyril // Russian Journal, 04/01/1999).

Kirill himself believes that he fell victim to a closed decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU on the fight against religiosity, adopted on the eve of the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia, for excessive activity as the rector of the Theological Academy: during his rectorship, access to LDA and C graduates of secular universities was opened , and in 1978, a regency department was created, which women could enter.

From June 2 to 9, 1985, as part of the Russian Orthodox Church delegation, he was at the Sixth All-Christian Peace Congress in Prague.

On November 30, 1988, Archbishop Cyril was entrusted with the development of the Regulation on Theological Schools, a new type of Orthodox 2-year educational institution that trains clergymen and is designed to facilitate the solution of the personnel problem.

The definition of the Holy Synod of April 10-11, 1989 changed the archbishop's title of Cyril: instead of Smolensky and Vyazemsky, Smolensky and Kaliningrad.

Since November 14, 1989 - Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations (DECR) and a permanent member of the Holy Synod. This appointment actually testified to the removal of his "state disgrace".

On February 20, 1990, after the liquidation of the foreign Exarchates, Archbishop Cyril was entrusted with the temporary administration of the parishes of the Korsunsky (until 1993) and The Hague-Netherlands (until 1991) dioceses.

In 1990, he was a member of the Commission of the Holy Synod for the preparation of the Local Council. March 20, 1990 appointed chairman of the Commission of the Holy Synod on the revival of religious and moral education and charity. May 8, 1990 became a member of the Synodal Bible Commission. On July 16, 1990, he was appointed a member of the Commission of the Holy Synod to facilitate efforts to overcome the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. October 27, 1990 appointed chairman of the Synodal Commission for the preparation of amendments to the Charter on the management of the Russian Orthodox Church.

In early 1993, with the sanction of Patriarch Alexy II, he joined the International Preparatory Committee for the convening of the World Russian Cathedral in Moscow (initiated by the World Russian Congress Igor Kolchenko, RAU Corporation Alexei Podberezkin, Roman-Gazeta Valery Ganichev, as well as magazines "Our Contemporary" and "Moscow"). Becoming one of the five co-chairmen of the substitute committee, held May 26-28, 1993 in the St. Danilov Monastery I World Russian Cathedral.

In February 1995, he directed the Second World Russian Council. Shortly before, President Yeltsin, in an informal meeting with Cyril, promised him to return the lands confiscated from her after the revolution to the Church, and then (under the pressure of Anatoly Chubais) took the promise back. At the Council, Cyril made a veiled criticism of the authorities for immoral and anti-national policies. The establishment of the World Russian Council was declared as a "permanent supra-party forum" under the auspices of the Church, four co-chairs of the Council were elected (Metropolitan Kirill, I. Kolchenko, V. Ganichev, Natalya Narochnitskaya). Under the influence of the radicals (Mikhail Astafiev, Ksenia Myalo, N. Narochnitskaya, I. Kolchenko), the Council adopted a number of purely political rather radical anti-Western declarations, the adoption of which the church hierarchs led by Cyril did not prevent.

Between February and December 1995, Cyril tempered the opposition of the "supra-party forum" he headed, and at the III World Russian Council in early December 1995 he did not allow the adoption of any harsh political statements. The organization was renamed the World Russian People’s Council, whose head was unanimously elected Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II, and Metropolitan Kirill was one of his deputies.

Since August 2, 1995 - Member of the Council for Cooperation with Religious Associations under the President of the Russian Federation.

In 1996 - Member of the Joint Commission of the Patriarchates of Constantinople and Moscow on the "Estonian Question".

Since June 6, 1996 - Chairman of the working group of the Holy Synod on the development of a draft concept that reflects a church-wide view on issues of church-state relations and the problems of modern society as a whole.

In 1996, he joined the board of directors of Peresvet Bank.

In September 1996, the Moscow News newspaper (N34) published a report stating that the DECR, led by Metropolitan Kirill, in 1994-96. organized in 1994-96 years the import of excisable goods (primarily cigarettes) bypassing customs duties, under the guise of humanitarian assistance, in the amount of tens of millions of dollars and in the amount of tens of thousands of tons. The charges were supported by other popular secular newspapers (in particular, Moskovsky Komsomolets - journalist Sergei Bychkov). It is believed that the then unofficial initiator of these charges was the then manager of the MP’s affairs, Archbishop of Solnechnogorsk, Sergius (Fomin). To investigate these reports, an intra-church commission was created, headed by Archbishop Sergius (Fomin).

However, the position of Metropolitan Cyril, who denied deliberate importation of cigarettes into the country and said that the church could not refuse the gift imposed on her, was supported by the 1997 Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.

He actively participated in the preparation of the law “On Freedom of Conscience and on Religious Associations,” approved by President Yeltsin on September 26, 1997.

In March 2001, he proposed transferring part of the income tax of Russians to the budget of religious organizations, including the Russian Orthodox Church.

Hobbies - skiing.
Lives in the official residence of the DECR in Serebryany Bor (Moscow). In 2002, he bought a penthouse in the House on the embankment overlooking the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (the apartment was registered on Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyaev, "about which there is a corresponding entry in the cadastral register").

Recruitment, "family life" and the business of the new Patriarch
Material from 2008 with elements of an unofficial biography

1. Private life. This side of the unofficial biography of Metropolitan Kirill is the least studied - fragmentary information about her
appeared mainly in the foreign press and almost never published in Russian. The metropolitan himself, talking about his hobbies, prefers to limit himself to the above list of hobbies, most of which are quite aristocratic in nature and require a high level of income. It is known, in particular, that, satisfying his passion for skiing, the chairman of the DECR MP stops in his own house in Switzerland. There are suggestions that he has real estate in other countries, but in most cases it is not registered directly with the metropolitan. In Moscow, by his own admission, the hierarch lives in a spacious apartment in one of the "Stalinist" skyscrapers, but often stops at the DECR cottage in Serebryany Bor - a picturesque summer village in the city.

A couple of times, vague hints of the "family" life of the DECR head leaked into the press. First, one German magazine called him "an exemplary family man," then one Russian publication tried to suggest that he was behind such rumors circulating in the church environment, including inside the Department, led by Metropolitan Kirill. According to the version of Ogonyok, we can talk about the long-standing acquaintance of Metropolitan Kirill with Lidia Mikhailovna Leonova, daughter of the cook of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU. “For the past 30 years, they have been linked by the warmest relations,” the magazine article said. Currently, Lidia Mikhailovna lives in Smolensk and a number of commercial enterprises are registered at her home address.

At the same time, among the ill-wishers of Metropolitan Kirill in the Russian Orthodox Church and beyond, mainly representing radical-conservative church movements, it is widely believed that the head of the DECR of MP does not accidentally patronize church activists of "non-traditional orientation", including former members of the DECR, at present occupying various episcopal departments. But, despite the abundance of rumors about the "blue lobby" in the episcopate of the Russian Orthodox Church MP, practically not a single charge of this kind was supported by documents and recorded in a court verdict. Many experts find quite convincing and indirect signs of the existence of this phenomenon - for example, the story of the recall from Paris of Bishop Gury (Shalimov), who was accused of “sexual harassment” by his own subdeacons (one of them is now in the dignity of the Metropolitan and he is the unrecognized Belarusian Autocephalous Orthodox Church) and parishioners. Having listened to these accusations and punished the bishop, the DECR and the Holy Synod of the ROC MP gave reason to talk about their fairness and validity.

2. Commercial activities . The first attempts by Metropolitan Cyril to do business through cooperatives subordinate to the Smolensk diocese took place in the late 1980s, but they did not bring any significant income. The business of the DECR MP, which is not always possible to separate from the private business of Metropolitan Kirill, reached a significant turnaround by 1994. Using the tax benefits provided for business entities established by religious organizations or allocating part of their profits to the activities of religious organizations, DECR MP became the founder of the commercial bank Peresvet, the charity fund Nika, JSC International Economic Cooperation (MES), JSC "Free People's Television" (SNT) and a number of other structures. The Nika Foundation turned out to be a key link in the famous “tobacco scandal”, which is still remembered by the most irreconcilable opponents of the Metropolitan who are trying to secure the name “Tabachny” for the DECR MP chairman. Nika carried out the bulk of the wholesale sales of cigarettes imported into Russia by the DECR MP under the guise of humanitarian aid and, therefore, exempted from customs duties. The number of tobacco products imported by Metropolitan Cyril’s structures amounted to billions of cigarettes, while net profit amounted to hundreds of millions of US dollars. Having captured a significant part of the market, the structures of Metropolitan Kirill caused serious damage to the business of other tobacco importers, who had to pay customs duties and therefore could not compete on equal terms with church cigarette dealers. Most likely, it was the competitors who provided the press with information about the tobacco business of Metropolitan Cyril, who became the subject of journalistic investigations in dozens of Russian and foreign publications, which considerably damaged the reputation of the DECR MP chairman. However, despite the scandal, the DECR-MP tobacco business continued to grow: in just 8 months of 1996, the DECR-MP imported about 8 billion duty-free cigarettes into Russia (these data were published by the RF Government Commission on International Humanitarian and Technical Assistance), which amounted to 10% of the domestic market for tobacco products. The piquancy to this scandal was given by the fact that traditionally in the church environment, especially the Russian one, smoking is condemned as a sin, and hundreds of thousands of people die every year from diseases caused by this bad habit. At the same time, every tenth smoked by Russians in 1994-96. the cigarette was imported into the country along the humanitarian corridor of the DECR MP. Directly “customs clearance” and the implementation of “humanitarian aid” were supervised by the vice-chairmen of the DECR MP, Archbishop Kliment (Kapalin) (now manager of the Russian Orthodox Church MP, member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation) and Archpriest Vladimir Veriga, a kind of commercial director in the team of Metropolitan Kirill.

When the “tobacco scandal” erupted at full capacity, Metropolitan Kirill tried to shift the responsibility to the Russian government. In an interview, he said: “The people who did this (that is, Metropolitan Kirill, Archbishop Clement and Archpriest Vladimir Veriga) did not know what to do: burn these cigarettes or send them back? We turned to the government, and it made a decision: recognize this as a humanitarian burden and provide an opportunity to realize it. " Sources in the government of the Russian Federation categorically denied this information, which is why Patriarch Alexy II had some difficulties in relations with the government. As a result, the Humanitarian Aid Commission was established at the Holy Synod, headed by Vicar of the Patriarch Bishop Alexy (Frolov) and who was given the exclusive right to contact the government regarding humanitarian assistance.

Another, more profitable business, with which Metropolitan Kirill was associated, was the export of oil. The business partner of Metropolitan Bishop Victor (Pyankov), now living as a private person in the United States, was a member of the Board of Directors of MES JSC, which exported several million tons of oil a year from Russia in the mid-1990s. The annual turnover of the company amounted to about $ 2 billion. Under the petitions of the MES to the government of the Russian Federation for exemption from duties of the next hundreds of thousands of tons of export oil, the signature of the Patriarch himself, who thus took part in this business, was often signed. The extent and extent of Metropolitan Kirill’s participation in the oil business is currently unknown, because such information in Putin’s Russia has ceased to be available to journalists. However, the voyages of Metropolitan Kirill’s business partners (for example, Bishop Feofan (Ashurkov)) to Iraq on the eve of the operation of the United States and its allies against the Hussein regime provide some grounds for assuming that this business has reached a wider international level than in the mid-90s .

In 2000, information appeared in the press about attempts by Metropolitan Kirill to infiltrate the market of marine biological resources (caviar, crabs, seafood) - the relevant government agencies allocated quotas for catching Kamchatka crab and shrimp established by the hierarchy (Region JSC) (total amount more than 4 thousand tons). The profit from this enterprise is estimated at 17 million dollars. Crab meat went mainly to the United States, since half of the shares of the company belonged to American partners. Several years ago, in an interview with Metropolitan Cyril with an ironic grin, he talks about how his ill-wishers were so crazy that they even tried to accuse him of trying to destroy several valuable species of crab. It is difficult to disagree with the fact that, against the background of financial receipts from other sources, the profit from the crab trade looks ridiculously low.

Journalists also found out that the metropolitan as the ruling bishop of the diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church MP in the Kaliningrad region participated in a car joint venture in Kaliningrad. In addition to the already mentioned Archbishop Clement and Archpriest Vladimir, the business team of the Metropolitan also includes other people: for example, a former KGB general who personally heads a number of affiliated commercial structures.

DECR MP is the founder of a number of media outlets, but these are predominantly small-circulation church publications. In the mid-90s, Metropolitan Cyril established Free People's Television, which claimed the 11th decimeter channel in Moscow, but never appeared on the air. With the participation of the head of the DECR MP, the Orthodox Information TV Agency was created, later transformed into the Russian Orthodox Church, which releases the Word of the Shepherd program on Channel One. The Office of Metropolitan Kirill controls the bulk of the official information of the ROC MP through the DECR MP Communication Service, which regularly issues press releases and newsletters, accredits journalists for church events, holds press conferences and interviews with Metropolitan Kirill, and supports the most active of the official Russian Orthodox Church websites MP. The DECR MP chairman willingly participates in rating talk shows on popular television channels and gives interviews to major Russian and foreign media.

3. The political activity of Metropolitan Cyril can be divided into two parts: church-political (relations with other Churches and personnel policies within the ROC MP) and secular political (contacts with senior Russian officials, influence on the country's political leaders). In both areas, one can single out both successes and failures.

The main achievements of Metropolitan Kirill in the field of church policy can be considered "reunification" with the ROCOR (L) on the terms formulated by the DECR MP, the rapid growth in the number of parishes of the ROC MP in foreign countries, including exotic DPRK, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates , South Africa, Iceland, etc., preventing the transfer of most parishes of the Sourozh diocese (Great Britain) to the Patriarchate of Constantinople and curbing the growth of the Russian exarchate of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the relative stabilization of relations between the Russian Orthodox Church MP and Vati Kanom after the death of Pope John Paul II. A certain success for Metropolitan Kirill is the preservation of the membership of the ROC MP in the World Council of Churches, at the exit of which ROCOR (L) and some conservative bishops in the ROC MP itself insisted three or four years ago. Membership is important both in terms of maintaining the general geopolitical positions of the ROC MP, and from a purely practical point of view - the WCC implements the bulk of humanitarian programs to support the ROC MP from abroad. Undoubtedly, the main direction of the foreign policy of the ROC MP under Metropolitan Kirill is the struggle against the “pro-American” Patriarchate of Constantinople for leadership in the Orthodox world, where Moscow’s position began to weaken after the collapse of the socialist bloc (within which 8 local Orthodox Churches operated) and after a large-scale church split in Ukraine. It can be acknowledged that the ROC MP still has a tactical advantage in this competition, but strategic positions look preferable to Constantinople. The latter gained a number of minor but symbolically important victories during the leadership of Metropolitan Cyril's external relations of the Moscow Patriarchate: recognition of two "parallel" jurisdictions in Estonia (due to a dispute over jurisdiction over parishes in this country, Moscow and Constantinople even broke canonical communion in 1996) , the adoption by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the "runaway" bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church MP Vasily (Osborne), along with a group of parishes in the UK, the recognition of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Church through the adoption of the jurisdiction of Constanti Opole hierarchy of the Church in the diaspora. Obviously, Ukraine will become the main field for the struggle of the two patriarchates in the coming years, since jurisdiction over this country provides one or another patriarchy with numerical leadership in the Orthodox world.

Inside the ROC MP, Metropolitan Kirill has significantly strengthened his position over the past four years. First, the role that his Department plays in church life, the most organized and professional unit of the Russian Orthodox Church MP, continues to grow. The department oversees all the contacts of the ROC MP with the outside world (for the Church): political, economic, cultural. Secondly, in the top leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, the MP took place in 2003, against the background of the Patriarch’s prolonged severe illness, the “personnel revolution”, which significantly strengthened the position of Metropolitan Kirill. Influential metropolitans Sergius and Methodius were removed from their posts, regarded as sufficiently balanced competitors of Metropolitan Cyril in the struggle for the patriarchal throne. The former First Deputy Metropolitan Cyril, Metropolitan Clement (Kapalin), became the managing director of the ROC MP, but he, however, took a relatively independent position in the new post. Along with improving the image of Metropolitan Cyril within the ROC MP due to the radicalization of his conservative rhetoric, these factors make him the most likely candidate for the Patriarchs if it becomes necessary to elect a new Primate of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The contacts of the DECR MP head with the highest authorities in Russia are twofold: on the one hand, they support the business of the “church oligarch”, and on the other, they ideologically support officials, provide them with concepts that serve the policy of “conservative synthesis” and imperial revenge in modern Russia . A striking example of the last function of these contacts is the popularization among senior officials developed under the leadership of the Metropolitan "Foundations of a Social Concept" of the Russian Orthodox Church MP. As the Russian Constitution becomes a decorative declaration, explicitly unconstitutional statements by the DECR MP chairman become more and more popular, like this: “We must completely forget this common term:“ a multiconfessional country. ”Russia is an Orthodox country with ethnic and religious minorities.” Although, in the event of excessive interfaith and interethnic tension in Russia, Metropolitan Kirill eagerly softens such formulations. Supporting radical church-social movements (such as the “Union of Orthodox Citizens” or the “Eurasian Movement”), the head of the DECR MP often makes very radical calls for restitution of church property, the introduction of Orthodox studies in secular schools, the institution of the military clergy, church tax, etc. .P. Often the ideas of Metropolitan Cyril are formulated or voiced by his deputy, responsible for public relations, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin.

The DECR MP chairman has considerable political ambitions - at his insistence, a provision was made in the Fundamentals of a Social Concept on the possibility of civil disobedience to Orthodox authorities, Orthodox concepts of human rights and economic activity were developed, and the Metropolitan recently admitted that he was thinking about nominating his candidacy for elections President of the Russian Federation in 1996. However, in the fall of 2005, observers noted some cooling in the relations of Metropolitan Kirill with the Kremlin, which was most clearly expressed in the refusal to include him in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. However, in recent months, these relations have normalized and even intensified.

[...] A man who had been friends with his father Cyril for more than twenty years, Vadim Melnikov was once a consul of the USSR mission in Geneva:
...
“You were not interested in him, why did he become a monk?”

Cyril said that he was pushed to this step by Metropolitan Nicodemus - his teacher and mentor. After all, Cyril since childhood grew up a believing boy. At school, refused to join the pioneers, and did not become a Komsomol member. Then fate brought him to Nicodemus. He, in turn, advised him to go to seminary. And then the mentor said: “If you want to achieve a high post, then you have to be a monk.”

Have you met Metropolitan Nicodemus?

Yes, we met in Geneva. He came there as part of the delegation. Cyril warned him that I was a consul, but related to the special services. I was afraid of this meeting, I knew that Nicodemus hated the organs. But, oddly enough, the first thing the metropolitan said when he met: “That's it, Vadim Alekseevich, you are with us, with us!”
...
- Father Cyril always sought power?

Yes, and did not hide. But this is natural! If you're an officer, why don't you be a general!

Such a detail makes Cyril’s words about the need to limit the needs of his flesh and remember the penance that he uttered on Inter TV channel be completely different. Recall them: “It is very important to learn Christian penance. Asceticism is not life in a cave. Asceticism is not a permanent post. Asceticism is the ability to regulate your consumption, including ideas and the state of your heart. This is a man’s victory over lust, over passions, over instinct. And it is important that both rich and poor possess this quality. Here is the answer of the church. We must learn to control our instincts, we must learn to control our passions. And then the civilization that we will build will not be a civilization of consumption. ”
