New EP Saints: Sts. Akakios and Damaskinos

[Alexander Kuzmin]

A more serious example of political canonization is the canonization of Luka Voinio-Yasenetski (1877-1961), a doctor and bishop of Moscow Patriarchate. He was ery involved in Sergianizm and he praised Joseph Stalin and he received an award from Stalin right when millions of Christians were being killed in Soviet Concentration camps. He was a good example of what Patriarch Sergious said for foreign countries: "There are no persecutions, Church enjoys freedom in Soviet Russia". Such "saint" was badly needed for Moscow Patriarchate and now he is more then popular. He is one of the main saints in MP now.

And the main book of Luka Voinio-Yasenetski "Spirit, Soul, Body" is very occult, it describes many things from church history as a real occultism.

I heard his life was translated into English to make him popular everywhere. But do not believe it. I do not know about this particular book (I did not read it), but I know how Moscow Partiarchate changes the facts in other lives to create the picture that they need.

But poor Moscow Patriarcate has found only two or three people like this who were sergianists and could be at least somehow canonized. All the rest cases were unacceptable, so MP had to change the lives of saints that did not recognize it to "adopt" these sains. Many people of MP even do not know, that most of the new martyrs from their list were against their church.

This Saint Luke is getting popular in Greece.

[Alexander Kuzmin]

Luke Voinio-Yasenetski is not a Saint but a traitor of New Martyrs. He was a traitor not only by his cooperation with tyrant Joseph Stalin who was a terrible persecuter. Luke Voinio-Yasenetski directly complained to Soviet powers against catacomb priests.
One episode even was mentions in his official life of MP (probably as a "good example"). They published a document by "Upolmomochennyj" (an official who was supervising MP from soviet government, a sort of a moderator). In this document he reports that Luke Voinio-Yasenetski asked him to stop the activity of a catacomb priest hieromonk Hippolit Veryutin who lived in that region. This is page 225 in the official book.
I wonder if this episode was translated into English or Greek. This is the year of 1948, among the documents.

MP priests continue to complain to authorities even up till now. They act as their saints acted.

Could you give in Russian and Cyrillic the title, author, editor, even ISBN of the book if possible?

Matrona of Moscow and Luke are now very popular in Greece.

[Alexander Kuzmin]

Yes, here is the data:

Марущак, Василий, протодиакон. Святитель-хирург: житие архиепископа Луки (Войно-Ясенецкого). М: Даниловский благовестник, 2006

Here is one of re-publicaions, and it is available online.

Can you read Russian? Your signature is in Russian.

As for Matrona of Moscow, it seems like they changed her story very much too (or there are two different Matronas in one). Father Micael Ardov of ROAC communed some old catacomb women and they told him that they new Matrona and she was Catacomb and did not recognize MP. And modern MP believed that she accepted Stalin, they have it even in icons:

Thank you... No I can't read Russian properly; I started learning it a bit and then stopped for lack of time.
