  "... A friend and a sponsor on the balcony nervously smoking a TRINIDAD FUNDADORES cigar on the balcony, at which a legless invalid in camouflage rags is gazing with a crooked grin at that time, is beginning to guess that it is not a matter of an oral massage, and not even in an anal escorting, but - in this sharp, cold, and inexpressibly alarming gust of wind that just flew from the KREMLIN, although it may be (and is most likely it is) that all this once again just seemed to everyone.”

  "And your infidels will not be with you to block the lips of those crying, and the judge will hear them, and you will be cast into eternal flame, prepared for the devil and his aggels!"

  THE AUTHOR'S NOTES:

  [1]. "Allegations of links with the KGB.
“According to the conclusion of the Commission of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Russia to investigate the causes and circumstances of the State Emergency Committee (published in March 1992), headed by Gleb Yakunin and Lev Ponomarev, there was“ anti-constitutional use by the Central Committee of the CPSU and the KGB of the USSR of a number of church bodies for their own purposes by recruiting and sending KGB agents into them ”.
  "A special definition of the commission, speaking of the activities of KGB agents "through the Department for External Church Relations" indicates that "the nature of the orders they carry out testifies to the inseparability of this Department from the state, to its transformation into a hidden center of KGB agents among believers."
“Based on a comparison of the well-known foreign trips of the KGB agent“ Mikhailov ”and Vladyka Kirill, an assumption emerged about the identity of Vladyka Kirill and the agent Mikhailov."
  "In 2003, a member of the Moscow Helsinki Group, Priest Georgy Edelstein, sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he accused Metropolitan Kirill of having links with the KGB."
Criticism for participating in the organization of the import of alcohol and tobacco products."
  "In the late 1990s - early 2000s, the journalist of the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper Sergei Bychkov accused Metropolitan Kirill of using tax incentives provided by the Government of the Russian Federation in the early 1990s on the import of alcoholic (church wine) and tobacco products."
“According to the editor-in-chief of the portal-Credo.ru network publication Alexander Soldatov in an article in Novaya Gazeta, the Nika financial and trade group was engaged in the import of tobacco products, and Archpriest Vladimir Veriga, Commercial Director of the Department of External Church Relations, became its vice president. led by Kirill. "
“Metropolitan Kirill has repeatedly denied accusations of personal interest; During an online conversation with the public, he called such publications "a completely concrete political order", which is being worked out "with persistence worthy of another application," and moreover, "not newspapers, but one newspaper write about this." He noted that “unfortunately, it is very common in our society to use the press to settle personal scores or achieve political, career and other goals. In this case, we are dealing with a customized campaign aimed at achieving at least one or two of the above goals.”
“According to the testimony of Bishop Hilarion of Vienna and Austria, the head of the representation of the Russian Church to international organizations in Europe,“ in the nineties I asked the Metropolitan more than once: “Why don't you respond to these attacks? If you didn’t sign the documents, why don’t you name those who signed them? " His answer was always the same: “I can’t and I don’t want to“ substitute. ”By naming names, we will strike a blow at the Church.” He took a hit on himself, but did not name anyone's names. I remember how I asked Vladyka Kirill: "Why don't you sue the journalist and the newspaper that publishes defamatory articles?" To this he replied that, firstly,
“The Lord commanded to substitute the right cheek when they hit the left."
  "Secondly, it is not proper for a clergyman to resolve issues in a secular court. And thirdly, if a trial starts, the same newspaper and the same journalist will cover it. And even if the court proves the groundlessness of the accusations and obliges the newspaper to publish a refutation of slander, during the time the trial lasted, so much dirt will be poured on the Church that the damage caused to the Church will be even greater. "
“Former in 1999-2000. The head of the Russian tax service, Alexander Pochinok, on the eve of the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2009, said that during his work he had not seen a single document in this area related to Kirill, not a single appeal from him. In Izvestia, dated January 23, 2009, Pochinok specified:
  “<…> The government decided to help by allocating quotas for the import of excisable goods to the Russian Orthodox Church, providing the appropriate permission through the government commission on humanitarian aid for their import. At the same time, the Russian Orthodox Church - more precisely, companies close to it - were exempted from paying customs duties. It all ended sadly for everyone - both for those importers, because many of them suffered, and for the budget. <…> I have not seen any documents on the benefits provided to the Church associated with the name of Kirill."
