The Russian Government for request of the MP is suing ROAC for all its churches in Suzdal, which were restored fron the ruins with money and time of the ROAC faithful. The MP has only two or three churches in Suzdal but they have no people.
The ROAC Bishops wrote this appeal to the Presidents of the Russian Federation and USA for the humanitarian help.

Please, pray so that God may help our people in Russia in this time of trial!
Being a member of ROAC and asking Vladimir Putin to intercede in the MP's persecution of ROAC is like being a True Orthodox Christian in the 1943 Soviet Union and asking Stalin to intercede in his persecution of True Orthodox Christians. It was KBG Putin who met with the ROCOR bishops in New York, gave them money, and helped orchestrate the ROCOR's union with the MP. So why would he care if the MP is threatening to take 15 ROAC churches? Putin wants there to be only one Russian church, the MP. He couldn't care less if every member of ROAC is persecuted. Indeed, that's what he wants. He doesn't regard any aggression against ROAC as persecution, but, as instructed by Alexeli II, the rightful chastisement of "schismatics."
Code: Select all
As for asking the help of Skull and Boneser George Bush, the "Christian" with more blood on his hands than King David---why would Bush care about the plight of the true Russian church? His is the "Christ" of the 12-Step Program, a "Christ" who delivers a man from alcoholism only to command him to invade foreign countries to bring them democracy. Let us remember the words of Saint John of Kronstadt(+ 1908): "Without a Tsar, Russia is nothing but a stinking corspe."

Dear Nicholas:
I agree with you totally. I lowly think that the ROAC bishops just are writing to Putin and Bush, because ROAC is a "religious institution" registered before the government of the Russian Federation. The whole matter is just a "Formalism" and a desperate intent of ROAC to make be worth its rights as "religious institution" in the Russian Federation, which Constitution says to "protect" them.
A letter as this one only will put once again in evidence the true nature of the current "stablishment" in Russia which is the direct continuation of the Soviet Nomenklatura (Including the MP).

Father Bless!
Dear Father,
I think though what Nicholas has wrote raises an important question.
What is the nature of Putin's regieme...Casaer (albeit of the Nero variety) or Pharaoh (as in Lenin, Stalin, etc)?

Dear Theophan:
God may bless you!
Without knowing too much, I think that it would be a "regime of Pharaoh" disguised of "regime of Cesaer" (as Nero). 
Keep me in you holy prayers.
