To answer your question, Justice, the movement was founded only 3 years ago by 2 youngish men : Vladimir Nosov, a boxing champion, and the current spokesman, Andrei Kormukhin, a father of 9 children.

The Sorok Sorokov quickly expanded, added a sisterhood 2 years ago, and now is reaching out into remote areas of the country, such as the mysterious Altai Mountain region, to establish local branches.

To date,
"there are about 10,000 multinational members. Various projects of the movement include humanitarian help to inhabitants of Donbass, social work with orphanages, homeless, prisoners, and organization of sports events."

One surmises that the rather strong emphasis on sports is to foster a team spirit, give the kids something relatively constructive to do with their time and provide a safe outlet for the pent-up negative emotions so common amongst youth everywhere.

Topics the movement which the movement is tackling include spreading awareness of the evil of abortion.

I don't see any outward sign of a leaning toward monarchist thinking, though some members may in fact be monarchists.

So, what is wrong here, besides the affiliation with Stalin-created MP ? Read below.

The Sorok Sorokov is advocating ONLY the removal of 3 stars, those on the religiously named towers of the beautiful Moscow Kremlin.

But - what about the other 2 towers, the Borovitskaya and the Vodovzvodnaya ?
Should the Borovitskaya - right near the brand new statue of St Vladimir - be stuck with this 1- ton monstrosity even another day ? Of course not.

Image

Yet according to Sorok Sorokov's spokesman Andrei Kormukhin, that is just fine as long as the 3 Orthodox-associated towers are readorned with the 2 headed eagle symbol. 3 out of 5 is not right. 5 out of 5 need to be returned to their pre-revolutionary appearance, to the letter.

One only need think of the following information to be convinced of this dire necessity. The original "Kremlin stars" were placed on 4 of the 5 towers presently bearing them in 1935 [ see next post for illustration ]. These displayed the repulsive hammer & sickle emblem on both sides ! Then, when the Ural stone coverings faded and lost their luster, all 4 stars were completely redone and the 5th star added in 1937, in time for the dreadful 20th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. Now just think of all the poor exiles who had fled their land in the hopes of returning after a defeat of the Communist regime. By the 20th anniversary of 1917, they must have been feeling discouraged and down-hearted, wondering whether this evil gang of thugs would in fact remain in power despite all odds. The civilized world detested the Soviet rulers, but where were those now-notorious American-British 'regime change' operations back then ? Strangely lacking....

Thus, the installation of new, improved ruby stars atop the 5 Kremlin towers showed a victory of sorts for the Soviets. They had managed to stay in power that long and now were proclaiming that they were firmly established in the traditional seat of government of the country's old capital, Moscow. The amount of technology and expertise that went into putting these gigantic stars atop fragile, crumbling ancient towers also represented an achievement of which the Communists could boast. [Boasting having been one of their favorite pastimes.] None of this bode well for the future, particularly that of the Orthodox Church. Indeed, massive waves of persecution against clergy and laity started up in -- 1937.

So why let even a single one of these blood-red symbols of epic cruelty and unparalleled barbarism toward the Church and the entire country -- as well as toward other formerly free nations taken over or subverted by the Soviet Union -- remain ?

A small glimpse of the double-headed eagles' fate under the Bolsheviks :

Apparently the prestigious Igor Grabar institute was asked by the Soviets to determine whether or not the double-headed eagles atop the Kremlin towers had historical value for the fatherland. Some Communist agent produced the correct answer that no, the imperial emblems had no historical significance for 'the motherland'. Therefore, they could safely be destroyed.

Double headed eagle being lowered from a Kremlin tower in 1935. Time to raise all 5 back up !

Double headed eagle side by side with a nauseating star ready to be installed. These were on display in "Gorky Park" the day before the pentagram shaped stars were to be raised for all the city to see with their own eyes the defeat of the monarchy [only temporary, however, we trust !] and the triumph of the new Communist overlords.
Note the ridiculous hammer and sickle emblem covering most of the star, and on both sides ! The Bolsheviks had no subtlety : they advertised themselves brazenly.
Imagine that 7,000 polished topazes and amethysts were wasted on each of these ugly manifestations of Soviet might

Thank you Barbara for this information. Yet another group that I'll make sure to avoid!

This five pointed star was the pentagram, wasn't it?

It is also used in the U.S. Flag.

Could this be a sign of Freemasonry too?

Here it can be found as used in Wiccan practice:

Yes, Justice. To be fair, however, the Sorok Sorokov movement posted a half-a-minute historical clip described as [ the Communist leader ] Zinoviev and [ the anarchist ] Bakhunin celebrating the removal of the double-headed eagles.
Now - I am not sure whether this is really Zinoviev, as he died in August 1936. Perhaps these were other double-headed eagles, or it was a different Soviet villain.

The footage is grainy. Hence it is unclear whether the 2 monsters are dancing atop the emblems, as the caption read, or stomping on them, or what.

Either way, being able to see with one's own eyes, even after 80 years have passed, the rank viciousness of these devils gives one a real fright. It's one thing to read about the Communist excesses ; it's another to witness as if one was there the attempt to snuff out all true civilization, culture and the centuries-old Russian monarchy.



Maria, YES ! This was done deliberately by Trotsky, who was evilly fascinated with pentagrams. No one knows exactly why. But apparently the swastika was in line to become the Soviet symbol, as it had been growing in use since the 1905 revolution, even appearing on the Russian currency at that time. But it was extreme leftist Trotsky who changed over to the pentagram, considered a symbol of witchcraft, like you say. Not just in the somewhat tamer modern version, but classic black magic and sorcery.

As for the American flag, it's not my favorite design.

Going back to the black and white picture above of the double-headed eagle juxtaposed with the Soviet insignia, one can see how many from the Russian Empire would risk their lives to flee across cold deserts and snowy mountain passes, enduring every hardship to get away from this devil-created new regime. The hammer and sickle emblem is ugly enough as it is. But these particular ones hoisted to replace the majestic imperial eagles look more stark and aggressive, as though specially fabricated in Hell's workshops for this all-important location atop the historic Kremlin towers.
