It's believed by sharp observers that there are a stable of Israeli and pro-Israeli editors who go in and change everything
on wikipedia to suit Israel's wishes.
I think I have found evidence here, in an unlikely corner of said internet resource.
Yesterday, I noted a call for the American politician Romney to run again for US president.
That stuck in my mind as I saw reference to a Ukrainian town of approximately 50,000 people in the Poltava area
named : Romny !
I thought I better look it up to see if the town still exists. It was actually named after the Romen River, which in turn
was given a Lithuanian name according to the entry.
So far so good.
Then I checked in the list of prominent residents or people associated with Romny [the name still makes me laugh a little !]
I was amazed that there is no reference to Rocor's Fr Adrian Rymarenko who bravely kept up a parish in the 1920s until closed forcibly by the new Soviet regime [ that is, gang of thugs, can not be called a government ! ].
I was more dismayed when I saw the actual list given :
" Famous people from Romny
Yevhen Adamtsevych
Haim Arlosoroff, a notable Zionist leader
Maksym Biletskyi
Larisa Netšeporuk
Pinhas Rutenberg, prominent engineer, businessman, a Russian socialist and a Zionist leader
Grigory Sokolnikov, Soviet politician
Joachim Stutschewsky, Ukraine-born Austrian and Israeli cellist, composer, and musicologist
Abram Ioffe, a prominent Soviet/Russian physicist
Several of the founding members of Degania, the first kibbutz settlement in Palestine (1910) "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romny
Now as we all know, Fr Adrian became Archbishop Andrew of Rockland, Rocor. A more notable personality from the
Romny region probably could not be found, in my personal estimation !
For the True Orthodox, he is a vital link in the Optina Legacy which arrived to North America through a few special souls like him, Bishop Nektary of Seattle, his brother Ivan, sister-in-law Helen, and others too.
Notably, Archbishop Andrew of Rockland was said to be [whoever knows exactly - ?] the spiritual father of St Philaret of New York.
I would like to check which years exactly.
It seems to me that the Romny native was the great Metropolitan's spiritual father even as Fr Adrian of Novo-Diveyevo Convent in Spring Valley, NY. I plan to write more in the public forums later about his and his Matushka's lives.
