Since this thread is aimed at me, I'll use it to give explanation of my participation, ground and assert myself...
1). My name is Rostislav Mikhailovich Malleev-Pokrovsky. To avoid repatriation after WWII my father took the name "zacharczuk" which I occassionally abbreviate to "Zachary" when I speak to non-orthodox in a secular setting. The name of my patron Saint in Baptism was Michael, and that is used in secular circles. R is fine to address me--Michael if you must--Rostislav Mikailovich is prefered. My wife's name is Lori nee Schambura. Her paron Saint is HNM GD Elizabeth.
2). I commune now in a SCOBA jurisdiction. I was raised with the MP and the OCa; and I was well acquainted with the Ukrainians. My Baptism was regularized in Jordanville, and I was a member of ROCOR until that body was compromised by the Fr. Komarovsky camarilla. I left for reasons of conscience but still do ground myself in the ROCOR of the era of Blessed +Metropolitan Philaret. I am positively predisposed to grassroots trends in the MP, and, as a Tikhonite, seek All-Russian unity. I value resistance and respect Traditionalist bodies: ROCiE, ROAC, Aetna, Milan, +Met. Pavlos. I am sympathetic to priested Old Rite. I consider myself Russian Orthodox. The second phase of my formation occured at St. Anthony's in Florence, ans I carry with it a thorough appreciation for Athonite Orthodoxy. I am currently further pursuing theological studies and one day plan--God Willing--to complete Orthodox studies at St. Vladimir's. I eschew talk of schism, but rather stress a united Oikumene anathemizing ecumenism, renovationism, sergianism and rejecting unionism.
3). Theologically, my thought is grounded on the scholarship put forward by Fr. Georges Florovsky, +Metropolitan Hierotheos & the Neo-Kollyvades Movement, St. Justin (Popovich), the Kollyvades Fathers, St. Isaac of Syria, St. Maximos the Confessor, St. Cyril of Alexandria, the Cappadocians, St. Dionysios, St. Irenaeus of Lyons, the Desert Fathers, FATHER SOPHRONY, ST IGNATIOS OF STAVROPOL, St. Nektarios, Lossky, Fr. Meyendorff, Fr. Kern, Prof. Cavarnos, Aetna, Fr. Staniloae, +Arch Basil (Krivocheine), primarily...
4). Politically as an American, I am a conservative populist Reagan Republican. As a Russian, I believe in restoration of the empire and the monarchy, but i do value the positive things Putin has done. As an Orthodox Christian, I favour the restoration of the Byzantine Commonwealth with a Constantinopolitan center with a seated emperor. I am not an anti-semite, but I am an anti-communist and i am opposed to all trends which seek to disrupt and/or destroy Orthodox nations and cultures. I am especially opposed to ukrainian separatism, but I am sympathetic to the hetmanate. I am most influenced by the Platonists, the Stoics, L. Strauss/Rosen/Bloom, Stolypin, Holy Emperor Justinian, Holy Emperor Theodosios the Great. I am a new classicalist.
5). The purpose of what I present is manifold:
a. To support Orthodox resistance while promoting Orthodox unity and reconciliation.
b. To support the Tikhonite agenda and what was ROCOR...
c. To illustrate the conditions of modern Russia and the East so that others can make INFORMED assessments of whats transpiring.
d. To illustrate and lionize the bloodlust and insanity of islam and its effects on the world and us.
e. To promote an American/Diasporan Orthodoxy which is a restoration of Orthodoxy in the West, grounded in the Orthodox Tradition.
f. To inform of the hostile climate of the secular world to develop Orthodox solutions.
g. To promote reconciliation of Non-Chalcedonians under the framework set forth at the Fifth Ecumenical Council.
Now we are acquainted...
