Putin Compares Himself to Peter the Great

 Finally Putin spells out his lunacy: He compares his conquest plans of other nations, in his power-motives in trying to seize Ukraine, TO THOSE of Czar Peter The Great-who, wanted to Europeanize his Russia, not make it the enemy of all Europe. 

 

 


And. FESTAL GREETINGS WITH  THE HOLY FEAST OF PENTECOST, 

THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT UPON THE APOSTLES, 

THE BEGINNING OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

My added comments:  These delusional words by Vladimir Putin, prove that he is mentally & SPIRITUALLY  unbalanced and is  living in his  erroneous unbalanced miss-interpretations  of past supposed  glories, of other, past powerful and truly famous people, and not in the present real world. He thinks, therefore, in his grandiose power mad delusions,  (of those grand power goals which are very similar to Adolf Hitler’s delusions, who greatly admired Napoleon), that he…NOW, must, & has the DUTY to,  continue to invade and seize ANY  territories which either have always been the homelands of other tribes or nationalities, or which he construes that the Russia-of the past or present, has the right and indeed duty, to RETURN to Russian ownership:  which course of action, Of A CERTAINTY  is the formula for MORE  endless bloody destructive wars, just as such empire building in past ages, produced the endless wars of European empires, AND THEIR EVER CHANGING NATIONAL BORDERS,  which so bloodied many sad centuries of European history. However, it is time, for all European nations, Russia included, to LIVE AT PEACE WITH EACH OTHER, in Europe, to have mutually beneficial trade and cultural exchanges,…in short to become MODERN STABLE PEACEFUL DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES. Putin’s autocratic non-free slave-state, is still in that backward soviet hangover era, where daily life  cannot get better for its average citizen, but only…to provoke more ENDLESS USELESS foreign WARS OF UN-NECESSARY , UNPROVOKED AGGRESSION: continuing the Communist’s central false-utopian plan,. For GLOBALLY CONQUERING THE WORLD.  The Post Soviet, nondemocratic,  Russian Federation is a war-mongering destructive nation, one which greatly harms, MOST OF ALL,  its unfree  own…mostly impoverished,  citizens, and because now, it has nuclear weapons, it, under mad-man Vlad Putin, can and DOES threaten the entire world. Historical figure, Czar Peter the Great, who adored many aspects…but not all, of  European culture/over various eliments of the Russian culture of his day,  is valued by some OR DEVALUED, by others, (Czar Peter did some things which are not considered the best, in his life, for the church: HE WAS NOT PERFECT!)…yet for his many real talents  and his many accomplishments, pro and con, but KGB VLADIMIR PUTIN is NO CZAR PETER! And in Czar Peter’s defense, virtually all of his war-efforts, were provoked or  caused by GENUINE foreign invasions and foreign wars, which advanced UNJUSTLY AGAINST  RUSSIA, or which were  actually preparing to, and he was merely defending Russia (as any monarch had to do in those days of empires) from its REAL foreign enemies. But that is not the current Ukraine situation with what Vlad Putin, who in his wild imagination, & Kremlin propaganda claims are “Russia’s Enemies”…e.g. As ‘Nazi-Ukraine”, “NATO”, AMERICA, THE EU, THE WEST, etc….(virtually all of which propaganda lies are “Rubbish” as one old Russian lady demonstrating against Putin’s Ukraine’s war, in the street, in Russia recently exclaimed). And  in the here and now, in the MODERN REAL WORLD, post World War II, Putin is living in his own sick and deluded imaginary fairy-tale world of the past, “The Knights of Old Days”?, but  not in reality. AND, he cares nothing for any human life, EXCEPT HIS OWN, -but least of all for young Russian boys-expendable…“cannon fodder” which he easily sends to their deaths to go and murder and be killed in his ignoble efforts of his unrealistic grandiose  SCHEMES on seizing some new territorial conquests, currently free independent Ukraine, and next, independent Poland, and next….? …THE WHOLE WORLD! 

WHAT SATANIC MADNESS!...and in comparison to pathetic soviet KGB hangover criminal henchman, Vlad Putin, the real historic & highly intelligent Czar Peter the Great had a truly self-sacrificing patriotic and NOBLE character..i.e. he had much VIRTUE, which Vlad Putin lacks entirely. But Vlad Putin, we are told, is “The Sincere Orthodox Christian, Who is the Defender of All Orthodox Christians, World-wide”?, though his life-time actions testify to his true ‘virtues’, or to the lack thereof.

Putin Compares His Actions to Peter the Great's Conquests

https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/putin-peter-the-great/2022/06/09/id/1073726


Thursday, 09 June 2022 02:27 PM


Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday compared his actions in Ukraine to Peter the Great's conquest of the Baltic coast during his 18th-century war against Sweden.


After visiting an exhibition in Moscow dedicated to the 350th birthday of  Czar Peter the Great, Putin told a group of young Russian entrepreneurs that "you get the impression that by fighting Sweden he was grabbing something. He wasn't taking anything, he was taking it back".


When Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg and declared it the Russian capital "none of the countries in Europe recognized this territory as belonging to Russia," Putin said.


"Everyone considered it to be part of Sweden. But from time immemorial, Slavs had lived there alongside Finno-Ugric peoples," the Russian leader added.


"It is our responsibility also to take back and strengthen," Putin said, in an apparent reference to Russia's offensive in Ukraine.


"Yes, there have been times in our country's history when we have been forced to retreat, but only to regain our strength and move forward," he said.


The defeat of Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700-1721) made Russia the leading power in the Baltic Sea and an important player in European affairs.


But with  modern Russia's and modern Europe’s mutually  constructive and valuable culteral and economic ties, beneficial to both Europe and Russia, with the West currently shattered by the Ukraine invasion, Moscow authorities are downplaying Peter's affinity-admiration  for Europe (as very unlike Putin, Czar Peter viewed  his Russia as backward and uncultured, and he admired greatly what he considered the more culturally advanced Europe, especially the Germans,)  but Putin, in comparison,  is focusing mainly  on Czar Peter’s  role in his expanding of  Russian territories by conquest….as he is also struggling to accomplish.


More than three centuries after Czar Peter  sought to bring Russia closer to Europe, Russians on Thursday marked the 350th birthday of Czar Peter the Great with the country deeply isolated from Europe and the West, over the Ukraine conflict.


Peter I reigned first as Czar,  and then as Emperor from 1682 until his death in 1725.

No one talking about Met. Hilarion Alfeyev

   6/11/2022: RESHARING WHAT WAS JUST SHARED WITH ME:


Subject: No one is talking about Met. Hilarion Alfeyev, except mainly Catholics -

From a Catholic website comes this analysis. No one else is even discussing the reasons for his sudden fall from power.

source is at the link below the paragraphs 

"...The invasion of Ukraine last February upset the balance in the Russian Orthodox Church, with Patriarch Kirill siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “In this new situation, Metropolitan Hilarion distanced himself from Kirill’s declarations, either because he had a mandate from the patriarch to show this openness – but then went too far – or because he assumed this position himself,” analyzes Carol Saba, a specialist in Orthodoxy and a lawyer at the Paris Bar.

According to him, this sidelining does not mean that Hilarion will not play an important role in the Russian Orthodox Church in the future."

Hieromonk John may be being tortured in Russia

ROCOR: Hieromonk John may be being tortured in Russia

Author: Metropolitan Agafangel. Publication date:June 11, 2022. Category: ROCOR .


Disturbing news about Father John Kurmoyarov.

Lawyer Leonid Krikun writes :

“On the morning of June 08, 2022, an agreement was concluded with me to provide legal assistance to ROCOR(A) Hieromonk Father John (Kurmoyarov) in the criminal case initiated against him. Already at 09-30 I got through to the investigator of the Main Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for St. Petersburg Luzhetsky, who very politely informed me that he was busy all day, he would not be in the Investigative Committee until the evening, suggested that I arrive at 16-00 to participate in investigative actions with the participation of my client, notified that he would only go to court with a motion to place the accused in custody on the next day - June 09, 2022.

At 3:30 p.m., investigator Luzhetsky answered my phone call that he had postponed the beginning of the investigation with Father John to 7:00 p.m., at 6:45 p.m. in the form of detention, after which he was taken to a pre-trial detention center, after which he said that despite all his efforts, Father John did not want to admit his guilt, asked me to “work” with him, promised to include mitigating circumstances in the case.

Having information about the “methods” of obtaining confessions by the employees of the Investigative Committee and fearing not only for the health, but also for the life of Father John, I immediately made an appointment with him in the pre-trial detention center, but the nearest free place was only on June 10, 2022

At 13-00 on June 10, 2022, when I arrived at SIZO-1 (Kresty-2), I did not find Father John there, the bureau staff answered me with a pass that there was no such thing.

An hour later, the staff of SIZO-6 (Gorelovo) answered me the same way. To my questions about the alleged location of Fr. Prisoners with bruises and incorrect documents are not accepted in SIZO-6, the convoy is forced to take them back to the IVS.

Returning to SIZO-1 (Crosses), I once again demanded to let me in on a meeting with Father John, or to tell where he was. The employees of the Kresty, having checked all the documents for the second time, reported that they did not have Father John, just like in Gorelovo, they suggested that I contact Zakharyevskaya, because. “We don’t accept beaten people until everything is over.”

However, in the temporary detention center on Zakharyevskaya, they also refused me a meeting with my client, saying that they did not have Father John, “he had already left.”

I have a firm conviction that the behavior of investigator Luzhetsky on the first day of “work” with Fr. John, his proposals to me to continue the pressure he started on the accused, as well as the absence of Fr. unlawful methods of investigation and attempts to cover up the traces of this crime.

The initiation of a criminal case against a clergyman for the opinions expressed by him in a sermon, the detention and imprisonment of a priest, sadly, but this has already happened. I really hope that all my other fears will remain as such.

It was the lawyer's opinion. For my part, I really hope that these fears are groundless. Especially in an Orthodox country, where, according to the collection "Russian Nomocanon":

“If anyone reproaches the priest, let the summer be forbidden alone. If he gives him a beating, or if he strikes him with a tree, let it be forbidden for three years, if the priest also forgives his sins ”(Rule 126).

We are waiting for the end of the holidays and a detailed report from the lawyer!

more NEWS


   MP Met. Hilarion (Alfeyev) is transferred to Hungary, and dismissed from his former MP: DECR in Russia: it SEEMS as punishment for openly criticizing Putin's invasion of Ukraine-which information comes from other sources, not this one. 


Here is the official decree. It gives no hint of the reason but we can watch for various speculations.

Surely Met Agafangel will have something to say here, as this is earthshaking MP news.

Many thought the comparatively young Met Hilarion was being groomed for the position of Patriarch, but others - including one of your recent excellent 2 articles which were VERY helpful [ I hope to see more like that ] - speculate that Met Tikhon Shevkunov of Pskov and Porkhov is in line for that position.

Now we know Met Hilarion Alfeyev is not any longer in the running...

>> So far, there is really no discussion of this event in English. I will send you anything I find as days go by.

Surprisingly, only 2 internet places have even published the decree in English :


By decision of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, which met in Moscow today under the chairmanship of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Volokolamsk no longer heads the Synodal Department for External Church Relations. 

His Eminence will also no longer serve as a permanent member of the Holy Synod or as rector of the Church’s Sts. Cyril and Methodius Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies program. 

He has served as head of the DECR and permanent Synod member since 2009. 

According to the Synodal resolutions, Met. Hilarion is being sent to administer the Diocese of Budapest and Hungary, a position he previously held from May 2003 to March 2009. 

 

Met. Hilarion is replaced in the DECR and on the Holy Synod by His Eminence Metropolitan Anthony of Korsun, the Patriarchal Exarch of Western Europe.

AND REMEMBER: Ukraine HAS TO WIN!, this  barbaric, unjustified aggressive  scorched-earth total-war of dictator power mad Putin’s making, because if Ukraine wins, then…the common GOOD RUSSIAN PEOPLE WILL ALSO WIN!, [TOGETHER WITH THE GOOD UKRAINIAN PEOPLE, AND ALL BORDERING NATIONS], because then the Russian people  will be able to over-throw and end this deadly post USSR- Communist hang-over anti-human dictatorship-regime in its strangle control of their lives and their nation, and have a bright hope for a free and more prosperous Russia, for themselves and for their children. And then, no other  nation will have to continue to arm themselves and  fear Russia or Russians, as is now the case with Hitler-like devil motivated delusional Nazi-Hitler-like, morally dead, Vladimir Putin and his godless oligark  criminal Kremlin Gangster gang in control of Russia….and in total control also, of The Stalin Created in 1927-1943, ‘Moscow Patriarchy’.  But if Ukraine looses, -then also will loose  THE COMMON Enslaved RUSSIAN PEOPLE!  As then…also, all the world looses, and for sure then we, the West,  must!... have World War lll….”LIVE FREE, OR, DIE!” If Putin will nuke us, then we MUST nuke him and his Russia, back….or…we must NUKE HIM FIRST, in a precautionary reply to his constant threats and promises… that he WILL nuke us!

Just an observation …….as, WE LIVE NOW, IN VERY SCARY TIMES!

As this short video shows, especially those smaller bordering nations to Russia, -the present non-free constantly threatening others,  maliciously aggresive Putin’s Russian Federation, these peoples who were previously under  USSR-Russian tyrannical oppresive rule,   they KNOW better than anyone else, that they cannot tolerate, again, any sort or variety of Russian-based  aggressive, war loving tyranny over them, which is why NATO exists, and the EU….and why, UKRAINE MUST WIN THIS WAR!

Priest in Russia arrested for criticizing the "Special Operation"

  Priest in Russia arrested for criticizing the "Special Operation" 


Joanna, I cannot tell by the exact wording of this article, if this priest is with OUR ROCOR, or…in the MP, or with ROCOR/MP in Russia…but if we trust the wording, he is one of OUR ROCOR priests…

ALSO on another clergy in Russia, I was informed yesterday, that the former MP Metropolitan-(?)  Hilarion (Alfeyev) for criticizing   Putin’s war on Ukraine, has been forced to leave Russia, and he is now in Hungary…but still functioning officially (it seems) as a cleric of the MP….and IF he makes his way to New York in time for the soon coming ROCOR/MP’s bishop’s meeting,…because he, being  well known around the world,  has long been very well liked here, he could be, (my speculation)  elected as their new Met…which Idea is not a new one among them….as this idea has been publically voiced before-when they talked of Hilarion Kapral’s age and ill health…i.e. and that they did not expect him to last for much longer, etc.

ROCOR: Hieromonk John (Kurmoyarov) Arrested in Russia

Author: Metropolitan Agafangel. Publication date:09 June 2022. Category: ROCOR .



In Soviet Petersburg, following a denunciation by the Moscow Patriarchate for criticizing the "special operation" in Ukraine, ROCOR priest Hieromonk John (Kurmoyarov) was arrested. According to Russian law, he faces 10 years in prison.

Please pray for Fr. John.

Former hieromonk arrested in St. Petersburg in the case of discrediting the army

The Kalininsky District Court of St. Petersburg isolated the defrocked priest John Kurmoyarov from society. He will spend the next two months in a pre-trial detention center.

According to the joint press service of the courts of St. Petersburg, on June 8, the investigation's petition for the arrest of Kurmoyarov was granted, he was placed in custody until August 6. The former priest was charged under the second part of Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code - public dissemination of deliberately false information about the use of the Russian Armed Forces for selfish motives.

Unreliable, according to preliminary data, was found in one of his videos published on YouTube. The  detention of the former clergyman  became known on June 8.

The media activity of Kurmoyarov with a bias towards discrediting the image of the Russian army was pointed out by the Western Vicariate of the Russian Orthodox Church. It was added on the site that Hieromonk John was deprived of his holy dignity by the church court of the Novosibirsk diocese, as well as by the decree of Patriarch Kirill of April 1 of this year.

In the Novosibirsk diocese, Kurmoyarov served as a full-time clergyman in the church and taught at the local seminary for a couple of years. In June 2020, he was banned from serving for two months for inconsistency with the title of cleric of the Russian Orthodox Church. He himself associated this with a post on the social network criticizing the decoration of the Main Church of the Russian Armed Forces in the Moscow region.

He was eventually allowed to wear a cassock, but in August of the same year he was fired from the seminary with a blessing to move to another diocese. It was not possible to find a place at the church after the move, and Kurmoyarov tried through the court to return to teaching at the Novosibirsk diocese with compensation for costs and moral suffering, which he estimated at 200 thousand rubles.

In January, the Nevsky District Court denied his claims, but the hieromonk did not lose faith and filed an appeal with the St. Petersburg City Court. There will be difficulties with attending the first meeting - it is scheduled for July 14.

GLORY TO THY HOLY ASCENSION, O CHRIST OUR GOD, GLORY TO THEE!

“FOR OUR GOD IS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, AND HE DOETH WHATSOEVER HE PLEASETH!“ ALLELUIA!

And a brief history: This ROCOR Malin, Ukraine parish has been struggling, under much Moscow MP’s engineered persecutions, FOR WHICH PARISH FAMILY AND CHURCH, THE First Founding Priest  LITERALLY GAVE HIS LIFE FOR,   for a number of years for it to even exist at all, and to keep this property, which the MARTYRIC founding priest (buried in front of the entrance to his church) had to BATTLE  with the then, pro-MP/Pro Moscow, corrupt local Malin and in Kiev,  Ukrainian civil authorities and with endless machinations from the local MP agents, who physically attacked and damaged it, by night and in the day time, a number of times, and threatened many times the life and family  of  the priest, and took the matter of the legal ownership  of it to the local Ukrainian corrupt, pro-Moscow, then,  civil court to try and seize it for their MP-Ukrainian jurisdiction, and who had physically beat the founding priest and who vandalized it -MANY  times, as it was being constructed,  and who  even sent crowds of paid, rough people to demonstrate at it and  to physically  threaten its priest and its determined parishioners, many times. But the priest and his faithful parishioners stood their ground, and never surrendered  to Moscow or its local Ukrainian henchmen agents…and the current ROCOR priest who succeeded the founding priest, continues this battle to this day, so it still exists today, faithful to the founding anti-Communist principals of our Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, and who refuses to bow or submit to the KGB run &  enslaved KGB-Captive to this very day, The foul and phony Kremlin subservient, “Moscow Patriarchate”; (founded anti-canonically IN THE DARK OF NIGHT,  in 1943 by Joseph Stalin).

Recently, after Putin’s invaders missal  bombed it, our church has asked for world-wide monetary help to repair it, which funds have been sent. But, now, also, the local Ukrainian city government, inspired by the now understandably massive ‘anti-Russian’ sentiments of many Ukrainians-due to Putin’s barbaric and  vicious unprovoked attack on Ukraine…hate the very word, “Russia” or “Russian”. Hence, the local Ukrainian Malin city government, has visited the church and its priest, and demand that: they now change their jurisdictional membership to the new ‘Ukrainian Orthodox Church’-created recently by EP Pat. Bartholomew of Constantinople, & delete from its name, the word, “Russian”, and serve in modern spoken Ukrainian, not in “Russian” (which the local Ukrainian young city official had to have explained to,  had to be corrected in his ignorance; that our ROCOR church uses for divine worship and prayers, age-old traditional Church Slavonic…historically common,  even to this day,  to ALL!  Orthodox Slavs-since Christianity was first preached to the eastern Slavs, by missionaries of Sts. Cyrill and Methodius,  & that its worship is not  conducted in the modern Russian language, (which spoken Russian language almost all Ukrainians KNOW & UNDERSTAND AND EVEN USE DAILY, VERY WELL, and as the Russian language has been  commonly spoken all over Ukraine, while Ukrainian has not been used in every area, and in Odessa, they use a local dialect of a mix of Russian and Ukrainian).etc. and it is simply an anti-Ukrainian  Kremlin propaganda SLANDER & LIE, that the Russian language has been, --up till now anyway, ‘forbidden to be taught or used  in all Ukrainian schools!’ …which Malin matter, at last report,  is still being fought by our ROCOR church-to KEEP THE LEGAL OWNERSHIP AND USE OF OUR MUCH SUFFERING MALIN Protection CHURCH AND FLOCK, and to  stay faithful to our ROCOR’s SOLID ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN FOUNDING CANONICAL PRINCIPALS, …regardless of this terrible unjust war and wicked ANTI-CHRISTIAN! barbaric murderous attack on the over 70% ORTHODOX, PEOPLE of Ukraine, by the “Protector of all Orthodox Christians”, Moscow’s KGB power-mad dictator, NAZI-LIKE - Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin, …who is blessed for all of his terrible deeds, by “Holy Patriarch KYRILL’! etc.

NOW!, because of Putin’s brutal unprovoked attack on Ukraine, NOW!...many Ukrainians AND MANY of THOSE CALLING THEMSELVES, “RUSSIANS” too who are life-time residents of Ukraine, & many of whom are MARRIED to Ukrainian-identified husbands or wives, are hating anything connected to the word, ‘RUSSIAN’, or ‘RUSSIA’….i.e. many of them NOW!  are ashamed to think of themselves as Russians! .THANK YOU, VLAD PUTIN, FOR UNITING THE PEOPLES OF Free Independent UKRAINE, and FOR STIRING UP MASSIVE WORLD-WIDE  SYMPATHY FOR SUFFERING UKRAINE, and MASSIVE WORLD -WIDE HATRED, FOR…YOU, and YOUR BARBARIC ANTI-CHRISTIAN ..your demonic Pipedream of your attempted revival of the old miserable, perpetually depressed and hopeless non-free slave-state of the USSR, your “RUSSIAN WORLD!” -your debased  TWISTED VERSION OF, “RUSSIA”!

May, ALMIGHTY God!

Save Russia and Ukraine and all the world, from YOU, monster, NAZI-FASCIST  Hitler and Stalin admirer,  bloodthirsty MAD Globalist-Left Vlad Putin, and speedily remove you and your wicked heathen anti-human government and your monsterous military, soon!

The only ones who are ‘threatening Russia’, are YOU and your Kremlin gang, and THOSE who obey your crazy anti-human orders, not any other nation or people: Not Ukraine, nor ‘The West’, nor America, nor NATO, nor the EU, etc. Only YOU! are destroying Russia, not anyone else or any other entity.

Amen! And Amen! Grant this, O Lord!

Otherwise, soon comes world-wide nuclear war….(as others do have nuclear weapons, and so your frequent threats of your using yours, IF ALL DON’T OBEY YOUR ORDERS), only infureates  us, “The West’,  more, and makes we who have them too, more determined to use them on YOU, in order to save our countries and peoples from you! ..but from which war,  what developed nations, or ANY nation,  .... will survive?...but for sure- certainly not, the enslaved non-free uncivil barbarous  Russian-Federation  nation, where most of the common Russian  people and of the other ethnicities living there -especially in vast rural Russia, are perpetualy severely impoverished and who have to struggle every day, just to survive and to have food to eat, while the corrupt arrogant upper Oligark Ruling Class, live like kings, ruled by NAZI-dictator Super-RICH-Oligark  Putin, a demented proto-type & a forerunner servant  of antichrist; crazy power-mad merciless & phony-“Orthodox Christian” Putin.

God grant, that those MANY!...among the  moral and righteous Russian people, themselves, will soon wake up, & rise up, and remove Putin! & his Kremlin gang, for their own good and their own survival, and for the world’s too.

OR? God grant that dictator Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin be so stunned and soul-shocked to the very core of his being  by The Holy Spirit, so that he  finally SEES  his own tremendous sins, so that he…FEELS THE SAME GRIEF AND PAIN that he has caused and is causing to many thousands if not millions, of other human beings, so that he REPENTS and CHANGES, and makes amends before he dies!..if only on his death bed.

May Thy will be done, O Lord!
