From Portal-Credo.ru, Russian & English, a Short-Biography of Eugene L'vovich MAGEROVSKY-
Comment: Much more could be written about this life-long ANTI-COMMUNIST, a
very good man's amazing productive life and works.
*He loved his real Russia, and he loved his America, both.
I was very privileged to have spoken to him daily via phone, as his far
way friend and confidant, for about his last year and a half, up till
his sudden passing, on the eve of Holy Theophany, January 18, 2009, as
we both fought that foul bogus 're-union'
which was a Kremlin engineered plot from the start of it,
and was not only aimed to subvert/capture the anti-communist
Russian diaspora church people, i.e., ROCOR, but also as another
perfidious fifth-columnist plot against
America!-which country the KGB Kremlin gangsters still see, as their number one enemy in this world! ..and I know just how very dedicated he was to
freeing his beloved Russian land and people and church! from
the oppressive godless communist yoke and it's present neo-soviet KGB
controlled debased condition, and returning/resurrecting Russia to
what was
best, most noble in old historic Russia, the real Russia, that Old Russia which the reds have murdered off, or virtually totally still do enslave, by in large.
Yet his pro-Kremlin propaganda lying slanderers called
him, 'anti-Russian', a 'hater of Russia', and 'working for the CIA',
etc....others claimed that he was 'working for both the KGB...and...the CIA!'. WHAT RUBBISH!!!
He refused any compromise with those who had betrayed, in 2007, a large part of our old free ROCOR,
to the KGB controlled MP 'church'.
And thus, he spoke boldly and, 'rudely'...in the delicate and
semi-closed ears of many. To them, he was 'strident', 'unpleasant',
'divisive', & 'offensive',
Active Orthodox layman, and Professor and U.S. Colonel; (he had a
military burial at Arlington National Cemetery with full military
honors] Eugene Lvovich Magerovsky spoke the truth, no matter who wanted
to hear it...or not.
May his soul now rest near the God of Truth, the God Who..... cannot abide.... any.... liars.
Vechnaya Pamyat! and Memory Eternal! to A GOOD HONEST MAN!
