In Blessed Memory of our Vladyka Valentine, Metropolitan of Suzdal and Vladimir, First Heirarch of the Russia Orthodox Autonomous Church God's faithful servant and warrior has departed from us. I share the sorrow of all his associates, like-minded people and flock who have been witnesses of his ongoing courageous battle against the traitor of the Orthodox - the MP. The shameless hounding of the Metropolitan Valentine by the MP, headed by the KGB (FSB) henchman "comrade" Kyril, prematurely and very seriously undermined his health. The actions of the MP against ROAC and her Metropolitan is tantamount to the torture of the true Orthodox Christians and the torture of their leader. I dare think that Vladyka's death having come after protracted and diverse ailments which were the result of severe persecutions and prolonged suffering for Christ, was a martyr's death. Vladimir Ilich Putin (this is not a typo but an intimation) claims that there is no such thing as "former" KGB-men. This directly relates to the ROC-MP, which from way back, with the reformer Judas Sergius to this day is a brand, a favored offspring and covert (and after its press exposure in the 1990's - overt) agent of the KGB and an uprooter of Orthodoxy in Russia. Commenting on Vladyka Valentine's death, one of the barkers, named Daniel, clearly a representative of the MP Synod (Sanhedrin), on the internet (in a purely Christian spirit!) was not ashamed to wish that the departed burn eternal for his schismatic activities, and for not repenting for the schism. Here you have the face (a mizzle with horns and a jaw) of the MP! What must he repent for? For not endorsing ecumenism? For not paying a visit to the Pope of Rome? For not smooching with Hamas?

For not dealing in vodka? For not raveling before you Sergianists? For not wanting to serve in the KGB? For zealously serving Orthodoxy to his last day! For following the decrees of the lawfully chosen Holy (and now sainted) Patriarch Tikhon? Perhaps it is fitting to thank the authorities, as advocated by the founder of your Soviet Church, the usurper of Patriarchal authority Sergius: "to express our most humble thanks to the Soviet government for such attention to the needs of the Orthodox population." The martyr-bishops of Solovki, commenting on the appearance of the notorious Declaration of Sergius, ask: "Thankful for what? Meanwhile we know of one fact: Metropolitan Sergius and the members of the Synod in have the opportunity to meet in Moscow and compose a declaration. They are in Moscow. But the Primate of the Russian Church, Metropolitan Peter, already not for the first year, is doomed without a hearing to a terrible and painful imprisonment (He will be shot.). They are in Moscow. But Metropolitan Kyrill, having lost count of the years of the exile to which he is doomed, again without a hearing, now finds himself (if he is alive), many miles beyond the limits of the Polar circle. They are in Moscow.

Metropolitan Arseny, named among the members of the Synod, can't make it to Moscow and is in the wilds of Turkistan, and in his own words, prepares for his eternal rest. And a host of Russian saints are accomplishing their anguished podvig between life and death in conditions of the utmost horror. Shall we thank you for all this?" This can go on and on, but your rusted heart will not feel or understand anything anyway. You don't feel that the hands of your forerunners (and therefore yours as well) are indelibly stained with the blood of the new martyrs of Russia! And how dare you use those hands for ordination? Indeed the Lord is long-suffering. You probably feel the since today you are in the majority (bolsheviks!), that you are right? Take this for example from Scripture: " Issac begat Jacob, Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs, and the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Jacob into Egypt. But God was with him." (Acts 7:8,9 highlighted by me -A). The brothers were in the majority, but God was not with them! Or in another place: "The there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), (so man of them!) disputing with Stephan. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke (emphasized by me -Alexander) And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes; (a whole army! -A); and they came upon him seized him, and brought him to the council. They also setup false witnesses " (Acts 6:9,10,12,13 Accentuated by me -A) A vast majority of enemies, the holy first-martyr Stephen - alone! And they couldn't do anything but kill him. This is written about you: " they were cut

to the heart and they gashed at him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.` Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, `Lord, do not charge them with this sin.` And when he had said this, he fell asleep." (Acts 7:54,55,59,60) And so our Vladyka sees now the glory of God and Jesus. But you can only lie and kill. And it was you, in the MP, killing our First Hierarch. As you see, it is you who need to repent for having led Russian Christians away from Orthodoxy. Perhaps you can tell me - when and where did you repent of Sergianism? Was it not you that Patriarch Tikhon, in his missive from 1/19-2/1/1918, connecting you to the Soviet authorities and mammon serving agents of the KGB, anathematized: "Come to your senses, fools, stop your bloody feuds. (Speaking of your parents - the revolutionaries. -A) For what you are doing, if it is not just an ill deed, is a satanic deed With the authority vested in us from God, we forbid you from approaching the Holy Mysteries and anathematize you " It is you who need to repent for your ties and service to the atheists. By the way in your latest Orthodox encyclopedia, in the Russian Orthodox Church volume, in the section titled The Russian Church under Patriarch Tikhon (1917-1925) there is not one word about the missive - number 362 from 7/20 Nov. 1920. (above mentioned volume pp. 136-140). What kind of encyclopedia is this? What kind of historical truth? Are you afraid? Yes? Yes!! You are afraid!!! Afraid even to sign your full name to this filth! Who is this Daniel? Ugh! I am not afraid. Aware of your methods, I am ready to take your bs. You will start showering me with your lies, ascribing to me moral depravity, criminality, treason along with everything else, contrived in like spirit, as you did with the reposed-in-the-lord

Vladyka Valentine. But those who know me - will not believe you, and the opinions of your besotted and duped "Christians" do not worry me. On the internet, on a website called "Questions for a Priest" some also anonymous Peter, an obvious provoker from the MP and a flour, poses the question: Is our Vladyka Valentine (Rusantsov) a "Metropolitan?" This word and the word "priest" (referring to our Priest Michael Ardov) is deliberately put in quotes, which accordingly implies his opinion of ROAC. The answer is elf is full of nonsense, defaming the honor and dignity of Vladyka Valentine: " in 1990 he was banned for immoral behavior." But the factsthere aren't any! " in 1995, in view of his way of life (?! what wording -A), incompatible with monasticism and a priestly dignity, he was banned." Again - no facts! "Rusantsov organized the ROAC," as the experts say, (what experts? KGB (FSB) perhaps?) receiving financial aid from the USA." Ha! And who in the USA was interested in establishing the ROAC in Russia? ROCOR? Who banned him? Maybe the Jews, to whom all the woes of Russia are imputed? Or the wealthy patron millionaires, who don't know where to throw their money? Or the US Dept. of State? Of course, it's the CIA (Hooray!) that indoctrinated, recruited and made him their agent, like back in the day the British intelligence tricked Lawerence Pavlovich Beria! The CIA is very interested to know: how, when and for whom the Russians are praying! They have no greater goals! Furthermore, no less absurd: "Presently, the Prosecutor's office of Vladimir has instigated, in regards to Russantsov (our Metropolitan always investigated! -A), a criminal case based on NUMEROUS facts of corruption of minors, however, it will probably amount to nothing, because proving such accusations is difficult." (That's how it is!? Many facts in the investigation, but impossible to prove). That means the investigation committee is filled with such imbeciles that with so many facts, they can't find one with which to convict a person. What nonsense? I haven't read of such absurdity in a while - even in the Russian press! And are they not ashamed? Disgusted to read. Are you writing children's stories?

Have you heard of the presumption of innocence? Scoundrels you always were, scoundrels you still are. Lord! Do not impute to me the sin of this useless disputation against those whose relative is the father of lies. I pray Lord, for them, as for my enemies and Yours. Enlighten them! That their ears may hear, the eyes - see, their hearts - be kind! I ask normal Christians to pray for His Eminence, newly-departed Valentine, Metropolitan of Suzdal and Vladimir, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church. Lord! Receive Your humble servant Valentine into Your Heavenly abode! By Your great mercy, by the prayers of Your Mother, all the saints and us, his sinful spiritual children, forgive all his sins - willful and unwillful and with Your saints grant him rest.
