There are more and more questions regarding the causes of the death of Patriarch Alexy II. Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev spoke about the true cause of the death of Patriarch Alexy II
The well-known publicist, Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev, who is close to the patriarchal leaders, speaks about the true, as he assures, the circumstances of the death of Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Alexy II (Ridiger).
As you know, according to the official version, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church died of a heart attack, but the medical report on the death was not published, and no details were reported about the last hours of the Patriarch's life. This contributed to the emergence of various rumors and versions, up to the version of murder for political purposes, with which the famous Russian actor, TV presenter and public figure Stanislav Sadalsky spoke in an interview with the Sobesednik newspaper. This version in recent times was widely disseminated in the media.
Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev admitted that the details of the death of Patriarch Alexy II were deliberately hushed up because of their "disgrace", although the official version is nevertheless closer to the truth than others. Then Andrey Kuraev reports:
“As such, a heart attack would not have killed the patriarch. It just happened in the most inconvenient circumstances for help.
It is possible that there was no attack at all. It's just that an elderly person, with some turn or sudden movement, lost coordination of movements for a second and fell. But, falling, the back of his head hit the corner of the chair. And this corner broke the vein. The Patriarch regained consciousness. I tried to get up (there are bloody marks from his hands on the walls).
Even with such an injury, he could have been saved. If only someone knew he needed help. But the matter was in the inner chambers of the Patriarch, which he himself locked from the inside with a key for the night. Double doors, soundproofing from the rest of the building, where the nuns bustle about, full. Nobody heard the groans of the Patriarch. Even the guards did not have the keys to his chambers.
The Patriarch ordered breakfast at 8 am the night before. When and at half-past eight he did not come out, they began to worry. Knocks, calls did not answer. They began to look through the windows. And through the bathroom window they saw him lying.
The door was broken open. But the body was already cooling down.
It is clear that the procurators had many questions. Why was there no panic button in the bathroom? Why was the old man alone? Why weren't the keys at the guard? How could there be non-soft and shock-hazardous furniture next to him? Why the housekeeper did not immediately inform the guards.
It is clear that it was difficult for the Patriarchate to say that the Primate met with death in the restroom. What would be quite common for an ordinary person could be perceived as a scandal when applied to the Patriarch. Yes, both near and within the church schismatics would happily lament about the "death of Arius."
Therefore, at first (taking into account the head injury) a camouflage version of the car accident emerged. "
In the comments to the post of Kuraev, many pay attention to the fact that such a strange self-isolation of an elderly and sick person, who could need help at any time, is most likely caused by nothing more than fear and distrust of his closest circle and personal protection.
They also draw attention to the surprising coincidence of the circumstances of the death of Patriarch Alexy II with the history of the death of Patriarch Alexy I (Simansky), who died in 1970, who, according to the official version, died of "heart failure". According to one of the commentators on the blog of Protodeacon Andrey Kuraev, "In the evening at my residence I was going to the bathroom, carrying a basin in my hands (for some reason that evening his old servant Danila Ostapov was not there), stumbled, fell and hit. He died, however, not immediately, but a few months later, but after that, he fell ill and never got up (he was 91 years old). "
On December 5, 2008, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II died at his residence in Peredelkino near Moscow. According to the official version, the patriarch died of heart failure. At least, this is exactly what the press service of the Patriarchate reported about this sad event. However, on the same day, another version appeared in the media - allegedly the patriarch died in an accident. The patriarchy immediately denied these reports: "The versions that appeared in a number of media outlets that the patriarch got into an accident do not in any way correspond to reality." However, rumors surrounding the death of Patriarch Alexy continued to multiply.
And some time ago a sensational version appeared on the Internet, according to which the patriarch was killed. The authors of the "sensation" claimed that Alexy II was allegedly killed for not supporting Russia's military actions against Georgia in August 2008. True, the sources of the "murderous version" did not inspire much confidence. In particular, the actor Stanislav Sadalsky, known for his shocking antics, made a lot of noise about the murder of the patriarch: "It's wild to me: they killed the Holy One - and they are silent! .. Familiar priests, the police told me that the patriarch was found with his head pierced in three places, that his gaze was directed at the door. How did the three holes form in the head of the Holy One? " It is noteworthy that those who picked up the version of the murder did not hide their hostile attitude towards the current patriarch, Kirill, and they spoke flatteringly about Cyril's rival, Metropolitan Kliment, the head of the ROC Publishing Department, calling him a "prayer book" and "a man without double morality. ". But the most interesting thing was ahead: it turned out that not everything in the "murder version" was true. The Patriarch was indeed found in his chambers with a broken head ...
ALL THE TRUTH?
The former assistant of His Holiness, Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev, made a detailed refutation of the "version of the murder". However, at the same time, he actually denied the official version of the death of the patriarch. "As such, a heart attack would not have killed the patriarch," wrote the protodeacon. "It just happened in the most inconvenient circumstances for help." Moreover, Kuraev did not rule out that there was no attack at all. What happened, in his opinion?
"It's just that an elderly man, with some turn or a sharp movement, for a second lost his coordination of movements - and fell. But, falling, he hit the back of his head against the corner of a chair. And this corner interrupted a vein. The patriarch regained consciousness. He tried to get up - there were bloody walls on the walls. traces of his hands ", - Kuraev writes further in the text posted on his page in" Live Journal ".
“Even with such an injury, he could have been saved,” he continues, “if at least someone knew that he needed help. But the matter was in the inner chambers of the patriarch, which he himself locked from the inside with a key at night. , noise isolation from the rest of the building, where, bustling, the nuns are busy, full. Nobody heard the groans of the patriarch. Even the guards did not have the keys to his chambers ... When and at half past eight he did not come out (for breakfast. - "Profile "), began to worry ... Through the bathroom window they saw him lying. The door was broken open. But the body was already cooling down."
As Kuraev makes it clear, the leadership of the church refused to publish the real picture of the death of His Holiness for moral and ethical reasons: “It is clear that it was difficult for the Patriarchate to say that the Primate met with death in the lavatory. That would be bitter, usually for an ordinary person. , could be perceived as a scandal applied to the Patriarch. "
Subsequently, the "version of Kuraev" was indirectly recognized by the press service of the Patriarchate. "Regardless of the specific circumstances of his (Alexy II. -" Profile ") death, it was a kind of" payment "for the freedom that he" bargained "from the entourage, - the head of the press service of the Patriarchate, the priest, told Interfax in early September Vladimir Vigilyansky - The Patriarch was always in sight, surrounded by people, and the only thing he won from his entourage was night. He did not allow anyone into his chambers at night so that he could pray and be alone ... the patriarch did not have a panic button, because the patriarch, as they say, was against. "
"GREASING PARTS"
So, the picture of the death of the patriarch became clear. Another question is why the details of the last hours of Alexy II's life suddenly surfaced a few months after his death, despite the initial position of the church leadership to adhere to the "official version" (heart failure)? Indeed, by and large, as the priest Vladimir Vigilyansky put it, "all this savoring of details is from the evil one."
Apparently, this was the case. After the death of His Holiness, the highest hierarchs of the church agreed to remain silent about the real reasons for the death of the Patriarch. However, later someone did not fulfill their obligations. According to political scientist Alexei Makarkin, the appearance of rumors, and first of all the clearly anti-Kirillov "version of the murder" of Patriarch Alexy, are echoes of an unprecedentedly tough internal church struggle that unfolded during the election of a new patriarch and, apparently, has not yet ended. It is quite possible that one of the hierarchs, dissatisfied with the way things are going under the new patriarch, Kirill, "leaked" a "version" to the masses, which was later picked up on the Internet.
The source of information could have been people close to Metropolitan Clement. Everyone understands that he has every reason to dislike the new patriarch. First, Clement himself aimed at this place. Secondly, through the efforts of Cyril, six months after the elections, Clement lost his key position as the head of the Patriarchate, becoming only the head of the Publishing Department of the ROC. Now, instead of solving personnel and financial issues, Vladyka Clement publishes soul-saving literature. And they say that this is just a temporary position: in the plans of the new patriarch to continue the staff reduction of the former rival.
However, it is possible that the leak occurred at the initiative of other hierarchs belonging to the opposition forces in the Russian Orthodox Church. After all, according to Alexei Makarkin, "the opposition in the church is something amorphous, there is hardly anyone who leads it, but this does not reduce the number of people who do not want any changes and are able to resist Kirill." The fact that the source of the "drain" is inside the church is also confirmed by the head of the Russian Christian Democratic Perspective, a public organization close to the Russian Orthodox Church, former State Duma deputy Alexander Chuev. "If only secular people spoke about the circumstances of the death of His Holiness, it would be half the trouble, but church people are engaged in this, and it is from this that it is scary and painful."
ZUGZWANG
As soon as the "version of the murder" began to wander from one online media outlet to another, it became clear that the "Kirillovites" were at a disadvantage. In chess, this situation is called zugzwang - whatever move you make, it will not be winning for you. To remain silent is bad, to reveal the true circumstances of the death of the patriarch is also bad. Probably, this was the calculation of those who launched the rumors: after all, people close to the current patriarch could not refute the accusations of the murder of the late patriarch. At the same time, refuting it, they would inevitably have to voice the real course of events of that ill-fated morning. That in the church, where the discussion of such details is not accepted, will inevitably be perceived as extremely painful.
This is exactly what happened: the version of what "happened in reality" was voiced by Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev, close to the current patriarch. The frankness with which Father Andrey informed the "city and the world" about the true state of affairs was met with ambiguity in the bosom of the church itself. According to Alexander Chuev, "it is deeply immoral to discuss the death of His Holiness in such details: we must honor him, pray for him, so I do not share the position of Andrey Kuraev, and it is strange for me that he joined in this discussion."
It turns out that, like the "murder version", its refutation - albeit indirectly - dealt a blow to Kirill's positions. “Now the old women at the church will be discussing whether the patriarch was killed or he himself died in the bathroom: neither one nor the other will add authority to the church and its current primate,” Aleksey Makarkin is sure. For the laity, this story will give reason to think that in a community that is directly related to the performance of the sacraments, as it turned out, the same customs reign as in the world of big politics, where the principle of "the end justifies the means" is confessed, albeit secretly, very many. Sadly enough, some churchmen are trying to use the secret of the death of their recent pastor to solve current, momentary interests.
Why on the Internet they demand to anathematize Stanislav Sadalsky and Andrey Kuraev
A scandal has been blazing on the world wide web for the second week. National artist Russia Stanislav SADALSKY said on his website that the head of the Russian orthodox Church Alexy II was killed and attacked her ardent apologist, Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev, demanding the truth. The missionary answered. As a result, the Internet is teeming with curses against each of them.
On that mournful Friday, December 5, 2008 from 10 am, that is, two hours before the official announcement of the death of the First Hierarch Alexia II, the site of the patriarchy was hacked. Meanwhile, rumors about the death of the patriarch have already spread throughout Moscow. In the 12-hour news, all radio stations and TV channels reported that His Holiness had died at his residence in Peredelkino an hour and a half ago. The sparse message has prompted millions of people - believers and atheists - to rush to the Internet to offer their condolences or learn more. It would be most appropriate to do this on the website of the patriarchate. But the site didn't work! And on the Internet there was already a version that the highly esteemed patriarch died in an accident.
The word is not a sparrow
It can't be! - one assured. “The patriarch drives an armored Mercedes made on special order with a raised roof, since the patriarch is not supposed to take off his headdress. Remember, the armor of the same Mercedes saved the life of an assassination attempt Shevardnadze... And when the patriarch's limousine rushes along Smolensky Prospekt, accompanied by security jeeps, traffic police officers block the streets.
“Once the patriarch's Mercedes got into an accident,” argued others. - It was an ordinary collision of two cars, but the viewers were shown footage of the evacuation of the saint. The guards carried the unaffected patriarch in their arms and put him in another car, which immediately drove off. And now everyone is silent, apparently because they failed to save?
Naturally, journalists in such a situation attacked Andrei Kuraev. And at some point, he wrote in his blog the fatal words that ridiculous rumors are multiplying, since the patriarchy "was ashamed to tell the unseemly truth about the circumstances of the death of Alexy II." And then began ... unthinkable speculation!
A wonderful polemicist Andrey Kuraev let down excellent knowledge of the Russian language. He used the word "unseemly" in the first sense - as unpleasant at first glance, and people perceived it in the usual, second sense - as shameful. But the patriarchy immediately reacted. But even those who remembered that the patriarch suffered from atrial fibrillation had little faith in her version of a "heart attack". AND Stas Sadalsky also.
Stas Sadalsky found them outrageous. But I did not take into account what many in the church environment knew. Alexy II loved Cyril for his sincere word and appreciated the reasonable directness of his future successor. Sadalsky began to seek the truth wherever he could. And in the end he gave out on his blog the unthinkable for an Orthodox person: “I like Clement, he is my neighbor, he is amazing. I would like him ... I watched him - he is a prayer book, a man without double standards. A real priest. And Cyril is disgusting to me. "
And he told the world the results of his investigation, based on the fact that the patriarch was buried with a veil on his face: “Familiar priests, the police told me that the patriarch was found with his head pierced in three places, that his gaze was fixed on the door. I ring all the bells - no one seems to hear me. Many priests, forced people, began to be afraid to communicate with me publicly - the security service of the current patriarch is tracking their contacts. "
Autumn of the Patriarch
Andrei Kuraev again had the honor to answer. But instead of facts, he also made an assumption: “As such, a heart attack would not have killed the patriarch. It just happened in the most inconvenient circumstances for help. It is possible that there was no attack at all. It's just that an elderly person, with some turn or sudden movement, lost coordination of movements for a second and fell. But, falling, the back of his head hit the corner of the chair. And this corner broke the vein. The Patriarch regained consciousness. I tried to get up - there are bloody marks from his hands on the walls (this is important from a religious point of view: it means that the death of the patriarch was not instantaneous and he had time not only for the last struggle for life, but also for realizing the inevitability of the upcoming last Transition and preparation for it ). Even with such an injury, he could have been saved. If only someone knew he needed help. But the matter was in the inner chambers of the patriarch, which he himself locked from the inside with a key for the night. Double doors, soundproofing from the rest of the building, where the nuns bustle about, full. No one heard the groans of the patriarch. Even the guards did not have the keys to his chambers. The Patriarch ordered breakfast at 8 am the night before. When and at half-past eight he did not come out, they began to worry. Knocks, calls did not answer. They began to look through the windows. And through the bathroom window they saw him lying. The door was broken open. But the body was already cooling down. "
It is clear that the procurators had many questions.

Orthodox people understand without explanation that the patriarch, who knows that without the will of God, not a single hair will fall from anyone's head, all these buttons and comfortable bells and whistles are simply not needed. And he did not give the keys to anyone in order to meet his death hour without fuss, alone with the heavenly powers.
But, seeking to honestly answer these questions to people of the world, Kuraev finally reports: “It is clear that it was difficult for the patriarchy to say that the primate met with death in the lavatory. What would be quite common for an ordinary person could be perceived as a scandal when applied to the patriarch. And the schismatics around and within the church would happily lament about the "death of Arius."
Last words say little to mere mortals.
On the other hand, the Theosophically savvy people started hysterical here. The fact is that the heretic Arius was excommunicated back in 318 because he did not accept the Holy Trinity and considered Christ a man. But, wishing to return to the bosom of the Church, Arius agreed to sign the Symbol of Faith, which every Orthodox Christian knows by heart and repeats in the morning at every liturgy. However, when signing, he cheated: Arius held the text in tune with his convictions under his arm and mentally pronounced it. For which he was punished by God. The day before joining the Church, Arius left the royal palace, and a fear of conscience took possession of him so that a few minutes later he died from extreme relaxation of his stomach, during which his spleen and liver fell out with blood.
Admirers of Alexy II considered the very idea of \u200b\u200bKuraev about the possibility of such a comparison with Arius as blasphemy. As well as Sadalsky's seditious statement about the murder of the patriarch and its alleged reason. And then all and sundry began to demand on Internet forums to anathematize who one, who another worthy person... The first is important philosophical truth, the second - intellectual truth, but both, and Express Gazeta, it is obvious, pursue one goal - to do everything in their power to strengthen Orthodoxy in Russia. The patriarch, beloved by the people, also took care of this, on the eve of his death in the morning he received Communion, and in the evening he served a prayer service in the Donskoy Monastery to Saint Patriarch Tikhon, who did not agree to an agreement with the Bolsheviks and in prison endured slander and persecution until his death in 1925. And these two facts are the only things that matter from the point of view of people who believe that everyone is alive with God. And those who sincerely grieve about what an unseemly autumn stood out to the deceased patriarch, who, in tribute to tradition, was buried with a covered face, like his predecessors, the patriarchs Pimen and Alexy I.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II was killed with three shots in the head (or was his skull broken with an ice pick?).
Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II was killed. Famous Russian actor, TV presenter and public figure Stanislav Sadalsky has stated and is still claiming this.
“It's wild to me: they killed His Holiness - and they are silent! I want to know the truth about how it really ended earthly life Alexia. Familiar priests, the police told me that the patriarch was found with his head pierced in three places, that his gaze was fixed on the door. I ring all the bells - no one seems to hear me. Many priests, people forced, began to be afraid to communicate with me publicly - the security service (Security Council of the Church and the FSB) of the current patriarch is tracking their contacts, ”Sadalsky is indignant.
According to him, Kuraev was the first to react - he admitted in his blog that the Patriarchate "was ashamed to tell the unseemly truth about the circumstances of the death of Alexy II."
“Dear deacon, I appeal to you through the newspaper“ Interlocutor ”: explain to people what this truth is. How did the three holes form in His Holiness's head? Why was Alexy's face covered during the funeral? Lies, that according to the Orthodox tradition. When Patriarch Tikhon was seen off, nothing was hidden. Maybe because there was nothing to hide? ”- asks the actor.
Commenting on Sadalsky's link, the protodeacon recognizes the version of a heart attack as "partly true". "As such, a heart attack would not have killed the patriarch," writes Father Andrei. "It just happened in the most inconvenient circumstances for help." At the same time, he admits: “It is possible that there was no seizure at all. It’s just that an elderly person lost coordination of movements for a second at some turn or sudden movement - and fell. But, falling, hit the back of my head on the corner of a chair. And this corner cut a vein".
Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev also reports that "bloody traces from his hands" remained on the walls of the room where the Patriarch was at the time of his death. The professor testifies that Alexy II himself created conditions that impeded help to him: “It was in the inner chambers of the Patriarch, which he himself locked from the inside with a key for the night (why did he lock himself with a key, because his cell attendants never entered without his blessing? , he had something to fear ... - Ed.). The doors are double, soundproofing from the rest of the building, where the nuns are bustling about, full. Nobody heard the groans of the Patriarch. Even the guards did not have the keys to his chambers. "
According to Fr. Andrew, the doors of the patriarchal apartments were broken open only at 8.30, after which the body of Alexy II was found in the bathroom. Explaining the absence of a coherent official version of the Patriarch's death, the protodeacon lists possible perplexities: "It is clear that the procurators had many questions. Why was there no panic button in the bathroom? Why was the elderly man alone? Why did the guards not have keys? How could they be near him not soft and shock-hazardous furniture? Why did the nun-housekeeper not immediately inform the guards? It is clear that it was difficult for the Patriarchate to say that the Primate met death in the lavatory. What would have been quite usual for an ordinary person could be taken as a scandal as applied to the Patriarch. And the schismatics around and within the church would happily lament about “the death of Arius.” In this regard, the version about the death of the Patriarch as a result of an accident, which was actively disseminated on the day of his death, is called “camouflage” by Father Andrew. ...
From the M3R Editors. Firstly, it is clear to any sane person that, even if we admit the variant of the fall of the patriarch, in which he hit the back of his head on a chair, then, unambiguously, it is unbelievable that he would cut a vein and cut the skin of the back of his head so that the blood gushed like a "fountain" ... Secondly, those who were at the patriarch's residence are well aware of the chic chairs he had in his offices. Cutting your head against them, falling with your body is simply unrealistic.
But Sadalsky's "political" argument - that Alexy II could have been killed for refusing to recognize the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and to accept their dioceses into the ROC-MP - is not true.
The further from this tragic event, the more clear the motives for the possible assassination of Patriarch Alexy become. The fact is that he made compromises with the leadership of Russia and participated in ecumenical meetings, etc. But he was not a "locomotive" in these matters. They always had to push him. It is likely that at a certain moment, feeling the approach of death, he simply abandoned another betrayal of Christ. And this predetermined his fate.
Being eyewitnesses of the growing apostasy in the ROC MP, which is actively initiated by the current patriarch, we can say with a great deal of confidence that the death of Patriarch Alexy II is beneficial to the ecumenists-apostasy in russian leadershipunder the direct patronage of the World Government and some of the Judaizing hierarchy of the ROC MP. In this matter, p. Kirill is right, Patriarch Alexy, apparently, was "practically already incapable of ruling" ( outside).
Of course, if he was killed, then they could commit this crime only on the initiative and instructions from the "top", because people from the outside get into the protected area Federal Service Security (FSO, i.e. actually presidential) - could not under any circumstances.
When Kuraev began to tell that the FSO officers did not have the keys to the patriarch's chambers, allegedly because they did not want to contradict him, it brings a smile. The FSO is not a structure that is burdened with any emotions. She always follows instructions clearly.
Why could they have killed using such an incarnation? Hard to say. Perhaps the matter was urgent. It would be difficult to poison him, since food was prepared by people devoted to him to death.
It is always virtuous to think better of people than they eventhere really is. Perhaps, sensing the approach of death, the patriarch wanted to bring repentance for his sins before God (ecumenism, etc., etc.), which could become public. This could serve as a signal for the enemies of Orthodoxy and Russiato its quick elimination.
Anyway, god rest the soul of a deceased slave Your Alexia and forgive him all sins, voluntary and involuntary, and grant him the Kingdom of Heaven!
Sadalsky posted on his blog a piece of speech from the "Word of the Shepherd" program, where Cyril (the new patriarch) responded to the departure of Alexy II.
This fragment was cut from the air. In it, Cyril reports on the sudden death of the patriarch and says that by his departure, Alexy "protected our church from a difficult trial, when it is headed by an elderly man who is practically no longer able to manage."
Here is this fragment (Ed. М3Р)
From the M3R Editors- It is hard to imagine that when the 95-year-old (!) Serbian Patriarch Pavel died, the Serbs could say this to him. Despite the fact that he was very old and was often ill, and all last years in general, "he was desperately at the military medical academy in Belgrade," all Orthodox Serbs worried about him as his own father, considering him "a real righteous man of our time" and "a symbol of the spiritual unity of the Serbian people."
In addition, Patriarch Alexy was not a frail old man and did not suffer from senile dementia for Metropolitan Kirill to characterize him that way. He was sick, like any elderly person, but even on the eve of his tragic death, he served the festive liturgy of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos.
All the more evident is the cynicism of Patriarch Kirill, who spoke about the late 79-year-old Primate of the Church in this way, and now publishes books in his memory and sings eulogies for him.
This was stated by the well-known Russian actor, TV presenter and public figure Stanislav Sadalsky in an interview with the Sobesednik newspaper.
“It's wild to me: they killed His Holiness - and they are silent! I want to know the truth about how Alexy's earthly life actually ended. Familiar priests, the police told me that the patriarch was found with his head pierced in three places, that his gaze was fixed on the door. I ring all the bells - no one seems to hear me. Many priests, people forced, began to be afraid to communicate with me publicly - the security service of the current patriarch is tracking their contacts, ”Sadalsky is indignant.
According to him, the other day Kuraev was the first to react - he admitted in a blog that the Patriarchate "was ashamed to tell the unseemly truth about the circumstances of the death of Alexy II." “Dear deacon, I appeal to you through the newspaper“ Interlocutor ”: explain to people what this truth is. How did the three holes form in His Holiness's head? Why was Alexy's face covered during the funeral? Lies, that according to the Orthodox tradition. When Patriarch Tikhon was seen off, nothing was hidden. Maybe because there was nothing to hide? ”- asks the actor.
Stas Sadalsky writes that he does not recognize Cyril. “The elections in the church should be the same as those, as a result of which my friend, the bishop of the Czech lands and Slovakia, Archimandrite George (Stransky), came to power. We prepared three notes with the names of the applicants and dragged out: “To whom will God send ...” And we have no elections - a staging. I like Clement, he is my neighbor, he is amazing. I would like him ... I watched him - he is a prayer book, a man without double standards. A real priest. And Cyril is disgusting to me. He says in Sevastopol that we are two fraternal peoples. This is all right, but I cannot believe him, because he has been lying since the death of His Holiness. "
Sadalsky recalls that he posted on his blog a piece of speech from the "Word of the Shepherd" program, where Kirill responded to Alexy's departure. This fragment was cut from the air. In it, Cyril reports on the sudden death of the patriarch and says that by his departure, Alexy "protected our church from a difficult trial, when it is headed by an elderly man who is practically already incapable of governance."
After Stas Sadalsky's speech on his blog in LiveJournal, circles on the water went. The rumor that the death of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II was "hastened" rushes through Russia with the speed of hearing.
The ROC, although reluctantly, is forced to reveal the secrets of the death of Alexy II.
Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev told the details of the death of the Patriarch, thus answering rumors about the violent death of His Holiness the Patriarch.
Deacon Andrei Kuraev's explanations leave even more questions than were before Sadalsky's monstrous assumption. For example, visitors to Kuraev's blog rightly ask: "Why did the Patriarch close himself and no one had the keys to his inner (!) Chambers? I see only one option (if I'm wrong, tell me another): he was afraid of an attempt. And this is actually him and killed (but saved someone from the sin of murder, if such was the case to live in reality). "
Another blog visitor writes: "Yes, judging by these keys, there was an unhealthy atmosphere of mistrust. There can be only one sense of locking oneself to a single key - the Patriarch did not trust his neighbors. Leads to bad thoughts ..."
But even worse is that, hiding behind an eternal "ethical problem" that lies in the zone of the toilet and human functions, the Church starts to lie. And this is a sin. Sin is everywhere. And here is a sin, and so is a sin.
We are confident that the Russian Orthodox Church will get out of this difficult situation by referring to the biblical Ham, to whom Stas Sadalsky became like. I had to believe, not notice, not go where they were not asked.
And in response: I had to think, I had to come up with a more truthful explanation of the bandaged head of the deceased His Holiness. Or was it necessary to tell such a sad and inconvenient truth?
