a very regrettable article Joanna posted yesterday

  Joanna, this is a very regrettable article you have just posted yesterday on your blog. It is more pro-Putin rubbish, very anti-Ukraine and anti-American  

  Time:  Thu, 29 Sep 2022 


Furthermore, those of self-identified ethnic-“Russian” loyalties mainly in eastern Ukraine are, as a group,   guilty of many  many crimes and atrocities and are traitors to Ukraine, and to their Ukrainian neighbors. Every one of them needs to be driven out of Ukraine and sent to live in Putin-land, and also, THEY are Putin’s number one concocted Fifth-Colum -resident mole-traitors, -his prime    EXCUSE for making this entire unjust and most wicked genocidal war on Ukraine, which is turning into a WORLD WAR on us all.


With the  other European nations who have large numbers of ethnic-Russians as their resident citizens,- as the Baltic states,  they also have to fear Putin using that fact,  as his concocted excuse to INVADE  THEM ALSO, and to RE-ADD them back to his insane twisted version of “Mother Russia”…his revivified USSR.


This pro-Putin, anti-Ukraine and anti-American slanted article.. which you also at other times place similar articles on your blog, (WHY CAN’T YOU SEEM TO NOT RECOGNIZE PROPAGANDA FROM FACTS?) and this video is pure tear-jerking pro-Kremlin false propaganda, but whatever this woman had actually  bad done to her (IF IT IS EVEN TRUE)  I believe that she very much probably did  deserve it…though I really question her entire slanted emotional account & descriptions of all those evil Ukrainians, etc. I THINK IT IS ALL A SCRIPTED STORY!-cooked up in the Kremlin propaganda halls…and one which has been retold many other times by many other useful idiots…many who have been paid to tell such lies.


Please stop putting such misguided anti-Ukraine and anti-American propaganda articles on your blog. It is making YOU look like a Putin supporter….ARE YOU?


WE, cannot be FOR Ukraine  which is also our ROCOR’s position, & our correct & noble American position & of much of the world,  and its just cause of self-defense and national survival, while at the same time, also sympathizing with those who betray and attack  Ukraine & devastate its homes and cities and kill many many innocent people there, and who help (FOR YEARS NOW) Russian dictator Putin to commit his atrocities, and territory grabbing. Those Ukraine-dwelling-haters of Ukraine, those CRIMINAL  “Russians”, DESERVE to be driven out. They have helped to murder Ukrainians and its soldiers and government officials…for years now. They are poisonous descendants of Stalin’s residue pro-Communist Russian trans-plants into Ukraine, after he mass starved and shot millions of Ukrainians., and they helped Putin invade and seize Ukrainian Crimea.


Truly you constantly surprise and shock me by your such ambivalent & contrary postings. ..and your ignorance of history.


PLEASE cease sympathizing on-line with the enemies of Ukraine, and of our America.


By any of us doing so, we then are giving aid and comfort to our real enemies.

Why so many Russian men are running to wherever they can go to

Why so many Russian men are running to wherever they can go to, including Georgia-many of them had ALREADY been 100% against this unjust Putin's war on the Ukrainians-proving a LIE!, of the Kremlin propaganda, that "The Russian people all support Putin" 

   Time: 

Tue, 27 Sep 2022


And just some  observations:

How?... can Power-Drunk Dictator, “President”  Putin or his well-paid and priveledged obedient police-state apparatus really expect, that those many other Russian men-currently being summoned & saught out and rounded up,  (AND actually a large dis-proportion of the total population in the Russian Federation, men who  are non-Russian ethnics from the various non-Russian ethnic republics),  that  they are now brutally rounding up off the streets  and from everywhere, and FORCING them into their military machine, -that any of them, will be truly committed to actually fight…murder others, and themselves SUFFER AND DIE FOR… VLAD PUTIN?  That is a recipe for the mass internal destruction and utter disintegration of the entire Russian Federation’s already crumbling post-soviet decadent and corrupt military machine…and the likely overthrow of the entire rotten Putin/Kremlin regime…whether  “Holy Patriarch Kyrill” …blesses this, or not.

MAY GOD GRANT IT, that it  be FINALLY! overthrown and removed! And finally the mass of the common Russian people, and the other many non-Russian ethnics, who greatly outnumber Russians,  finally get a breathe of FREEDOM.

And recently, KGB-Agent-Actor-extroidinaire,  dressed and in his SCRIPTED & WELL-PRACTICED THEATRICAL ROLE as an Orthodox  Patriarch: “His Most Holy, The Patriarch Kyrill”, has proclaimed that every Russian man must willingly fight to the death, and give his life for President Vladimir Putin’s  just cause of cleansing Ukraine from the Nazis, etc. BUT REMEMBER: THE MOST HOLY PATRIARCH…SPEAKS FOR GOD! …or DOES HE???..why do we doubt this?

Biography of Metr. Vitaly


Sharing In English & Russian:: Life of Met. Vitaly, by Abbess Alexandra, at St .John's Woman's Monastery in Egorovka, Ukraine  

  Time:  Mon, 26 Sep 2022


Abbess Alexandra: Biography of His Eminence Metropolitan Vitaly

Author: Metropolitan Agafangel. Publication date:September 25, 2022. Category: Author's column .

Report at the annual theological conference in the Odessa Archangel and Mikhailovsky diocesan house, compiled by Abbess Alexandra and the sisters of the Ioannovsky Convent

Odessa, August 8-10, 2018

The Fourth First Hierarch of ROCOR, His Eminence Metropolitan Vitaly, in the world Rostislav Petrovich Ustinov, was born on March 18, 1910 in St. Petersburg into the family of a naval officer. Soon the Ustinov family moved to Sevastopol to his father's place of service, where Rostislav spent his childhood. Remembering his childhood years, Vladyka Metropolitan wrote: “I found tsarist Russia during my first seven years. I remember it in detail, but mainly I remember its spirit ... in tsarist times everything was calm and pious. not just a memory, but a memory of the heart." [one]

In 1920, Rostislav entered the Crimean Cadet Corps, founded by General P. Wrangel in Feodosia. In November 1920, the young cadet was forced to leave Russia forever with the corps. Let us continue the story of Abbess Alexandra, transmitted from the words of Vladyka Vitaly: “The ship on which Rostislav  was forced to stay at sea for about a month, since not a single port wanted to receive it. Before they were allowed to land in Constantinople, the cadets had to endure the cold, and hunger. Separated from his parents and loved ones, ten-year-old Rostislav suffered unbearably. For the first time in his life, he had to be in such terrible and humiliating conditions. This was caused not only by cold and hunger, but also for the abuse and bullying of senior cadets that he and his peers had to endure. There was little food on the ship, but even this small portion was often taken from a small thin boy. The cold had set in and the winds were blowing. Rostislav found a place for himself in the hold, where the steam pipe passed. From time to time steam flowed through it, it heated up, and the boy could at least somehow warm himself. Finally, the ship was allowed to moor in Constantinople. After long ordeals, the cadet corps was taken in by Serbia.

When the cadet corps settled in Serbia, in the city of Belaya Tserkov, the cadets had to live in poverty. The younger ones suffered especially, from whom the elders took away food, venting their anger and dissatisfaction with their beggarly position on them. One can imagine how great was the difference between the former serene picture of childhood and hopeless reality for a small pampered child. It was then, in moments of terrifying loneliness, constantly squeezing hunger and humiliation, that the soul of little Rostislav began to turn to God. He went far into the field, where no one could see him, wept and asked the Lord for death. Seeing no point in constant suffering, he did not want to live. It was clear to him that he would never see his family again. In order to somehow dull the constant hunger, he collected discarded cigarette butts, lit a cigarette, forgetting for a short time.

One autumn evening, when Rostislav was in the field, a heavy downpour began. The boy did not want to return as soon as possible. Let me get sick and die, he thought. On the way, he slipped and fell into a ditch. Wet, covered in mud, somehow he got to the hill. At night he had a fever, he fell ill with pneumonia. He was treated, and although the boy's emaciated body did not differ in strength, nevertheless, he survived. This encouraged the little sufferer. “If the Lord did not let me die, then the Lord needs me for some reason,” he thought. Thus, in the midst of illness, sorrow and deprivation, the young soul of Rostislav learned to pray. This prayer was not bookish. It was the prayer of the suffering heart of an orphaned child, who now sought consolation only in the Lord.

In the midst of a gray, joyless life in a foreign land, the Lord sent Rostislav a ray of joy. Among the Russian emigrants in the White Church there was one noble lady, a countess, who somehow managed to take her jewelry out of Russia. Selling them, she could live modestly. Seeing the plight in which the cadet corps was, this countess, with the permission of her superiors, took junior cadets to her house in turn for the weekend. A real Orthodox Christian, she motherly took care of poor children: she fed them, put their clothes in order, tried to replace or repair their linen, trying to brighten up their harsh life with her caress. The image of this countess returned to little Rostislav faith in goodness and humanity. Whenever the boy endured humiliation and bullying, he, swallowing tears, he remembered the bright face of his benefactress, and he felt better. Prayer also gradually strengthened his growing soul.

In 1923, Rostislava was found by his mother, who lived in France, in Cannes, and he came to her. Full of bright hopes, he went to his mother, but disappointment awaited him. By that time, Lidia Andreevna had remarried, a child was born. Rostislav's sister was with her mother. It was not easy for a stepfather in emigration to support a family with three children, and the young man understood this well. Rostislav had no information about his father: whether he was alive, where he was, was unknown. Many thousands of Russian emigrants were scattered all over the world. Only after more than 30 years, Rostislav was able to meet his father, who ended up in the United States.

Rostislav's relationship with his stepfather was not easy. He turned out to be a man of strict patriarchal rules. In the mother's new family, there was no cordiality, simplicity and openness, to which Rostislav was accustomed from childhood. There was no spiritual contact with his stepfather, Rostislav felt like a stranger. According to the stories of Vladyka Vitaly, he was grateful to his stepfather that he did not abandon him and helped him get an education. Rostislav was assigned to the Jesuit College named after St. Louis, King of France, in the city of Leman.

Although there was not a single Russian in the college (teaching was conducted in French and English), however, Rostislav did not forget either the Russian language or culture. The college priest, who treated Rostislav very well, spoke Russian, knew Russian literature and music, and did his best to support his student. He gave him topics for reports related to Russia. Mother sent Rostislav the necessary books in Russian.

Due to financial difficulties and a difficult relationship with his stepfather, Rostislav almost never visited his mother's house. He spent the Christmas and Easter holidays with the family of a college friend, where he was treated very well. During his summer holidays he worked on flower plantations in Grasse, collecting flower petals for the perfume industry. The young man sent the money he earned to his mother.

After graduating from college, Rostislav in 1934 was called up for military service in a cavalry cuirassier regiment. At the end of his service life, he rejected the offer of his superiors for a military career and was demobilized. Mother Alexandra continues her story: “After serving military service, Rostislav got a job as a clerk in a Parisian fashion house. He was successful at work, communicating with clients was easy for him. The young man knew all the intricacies of French etiquette. However, success in the service did not satisfy him. Living in the capital of France, Rostislav remained a true Russian by nature. His soul aspired to prayer and asceticism. He constantly went to church, fasted, prayer was an integral part of his life." In Paris, he entered the St. Sergius Theological Institute, but not finding the proper spiritual atmosphere there, Rostislav soon left his studies. In search of answers to his spiritual questions, he established a correspondence with the monastery of St. Job of Pochaevsky in Slovakia.

In 1937, Rostislav, despite the misunderstanding of his mother and stepfather, left France and became a novice in the monastery of St. Job of Pochaevsky in Ladomirovo. “According to the stories of Vladyka Vitaly,” Mother Alexandra recalls, “he arrived at the monastery dressed in an expensive suit and fragrant in the French fashion. The suit was removed from him in the monastery and he was dressed in an old cassock, giving an obedience in the kitchen. Vladyka Metropolitan loved and knew how to cook, but then, in his younger years, he had few practical skills. In addition, it was difficult for a new novice to get used to the strictness of monastic life. By Vladyka Vitaly’s own admission, at first nothing was given to him in the monastery, everything fell out of his hands. For an educated and successful youth it was not easy for a young man to endure such a thing. With fervent prayer, Rostislav turned to God, so that the Lord would help him to fulfill his obedience correctly. After about a year, he settled in, he was transferred to a bakery.

In 1939, Rostislav was tonsured a riasophor  with the name Vitaly in honor of the martyr Vitaly of Rome. The tonsure was performed by the abbot of the monastery, Archimandrite Seraphim (Ivanov). Later monk Vitaly worked in the monastery printing house. Some time later, he was given the obedience to study the liturgical Typicon.

In 1940, during the days of Great Lent, the future First Hierarch was tonsured into the Little-Skema, , and on July 17 of the same year he was ordained a Hierodeacon. On October 10, 1941, in the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava, Metropolitan Seraphim (Lyade) of Berlin and Germany ordained Father Vitaly as a Hieromonk, after which he was entrusted with the care of three villages on the border with Poland by the rector of the monastery. Remaining a resident of the monastery, Father Vitaly went to serve in Slovak villages on Sundays and holidays. The local peasants fell in love with him. In one of the villages, instead of the old dilapidated church, parishioners built a new one. However, the outbreak of World War II forced the brotherhood of the monastery in 1944 to leave Ladomirovo and evacuate to Germany. With the approach of Soviet troops, the brotherhood began to make its way to the Swiss border, as friends of the brotherhood managed to obtain Swiss visas for the inhabitants.

Hieromonk Vitaly ended up in Berlin, where, together with Archimandrite Nathanael (Lvov), he developed extensive missionary activity among Russian refugees. At that time, Berlin was subjected to intense bombing day and night, and all the Russian clergy left the capital. Hieromonk Vitaly and Archimandrite Nathanael voluntarily remained at the cathedral to minister to the numerous Russian flock. They left Berlin at the last moment, when Soviet troops entered the city from the south. So they decided to move north towards Hamburg. Having reached Hamburg, Father Vitaly set about organizing church life at the Fischbeck camp. This camp was for several years one of the centers of Russian Orthodox life in Europe. The Assumption Church was built in the camp, the rector of which was Father Vitaly. Around him he gathered a small monastic brethren, and also founded a printing house, which began to print for all camp churches in Germany "Great collections", prayer books and periodically - "Pochaev leaflets". At the temple, Father Vitaly organized courses for psalm-readers, and also taught a group of young men theological sciences.

After the end of the war, Father Vitaly and Father Nathanael began to travel to Russian refugee camps to save them from repatriation. Soviet agents caught Russians and forcibly took them to repatriation camps, so the refugees lived in constant fear. The camps visited by Father Vitaly and Father Nathanael were in the English zone. Both shepherds spoke excellent English, so they were well received by the English officers. In a few months, they managed to help out and send to the West more than one thousand Russian people, who were waiting in the camp from their homeland. Both shepherds fearlessly fulfilled their mission, more than once in danger of being killed by a patrol bullet or being taken to the USSR themselves, but the Lord protected them.

How sacrificial was Father Vitaly's ministry is shown by the fact that he also took care of tuberculosis patients. In the northern part of Germany there was a special camp, where such patients were taken from different places. They were not treated, they were in the most deplorable condition, receiving only meager food - rutabaga stew. Father Vitaly addressed these suffering people with a sermon on the need for church sacraments - confession and communion. To his joy, all the sick expressed a desire to confess and take communion. [2]

On July 12, 1951, on the day of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, Archimandrite Vitaly was ordained Bishop of Sao Paulo, Vicar of the Diocese of Brazil. The consecration was performed by Bishop of Brussels and Western Europe Nathanael (Lvov) and Bishop of Geneva Leonty (Bartoshevich).

Upon arrival in Brazil, Vladyka Vitaly's place of residence was Villa Alpina in the suburbs of Sao Paulo, where on a large plot of land there was a church in the name of the Most Holy Life-Giving Trinity. Vladyka founded a monastic brotherhood here and set up printing activities. The journal Pravoslavnoye Obozrenie began to be published here, which Vladyka published almost until his death. Along with the preaching of the teachings of the Church, the magazine gave answers to the questions that modern life poses to every church person. In an editorial address to the reader, in particular, it was said: “Our journal aims to revive the ancient, patristic, Orthodox worldview, offering an Orthodox point of view on the most modern phenomena and events. Since the time of Peter the Great, our Orthodox school and educated society have fallen under the influence of Protestant and Roman-Catholic thoughts, from which we have not yet completely freed ourselves to this day. This division and mood of our ideology greatly weakened our moral forces. We have lost our spiritual integrity and purposefulness, and the main grief is that with such a semi-scholastic, split worldview it is impossible to lead anyone.

In particular, we fear for our younger generation, who are sinking more and more into some kind of deep sleep state. It is now impossible to simply say and preach to the youth that they should pray and fast and repeat the eternal truths according to the old scholastic textbooks. It is necessary to show why and how all this should be done in modern conditions..." [3] According to the stories of Abbess Alexandra, many parishioners, respecting Abbot Panteleimon-of Brookline, Massechesuets did not believe in his guilt, so they treated Vladyka Vitaly very unfriendly. Many even wanted to leave  the Church Abroad. Occupying certain positions in the management of the parish, these people, were accustomed to having their opinions taken into account, and they resisted the power of the bishop, outraging other parishioners. Coming to church, they showed a negative attitude towards the new archpastor with all their appearance: they did not bow to him during the service and defiantly turned away when he passed by. Faced with such an incident for the first time, Archbishop Vitaly put a lot of effort and patience into appeasing the disgruntled parishioners, convincing them of the correctness of the Synod's decision and returning them to the Church Abroad. Fortunately, Vladyka Vitaly managed to restore the trust of the parishioners and return the dissatisfied to the bosom of the Church.

In Montreal, through the efforts of Archbishop Vitaly, a building for the cathedral was purchased, a bishop's farmstead with a printing house was equipped; in Ottawa, the Church of the Intercession was built, in Mansonville (Quebec) the Preobrazhensky/Transfiguration male monastery was founded with a temple and large buildings for the brethren.

The typographic traditions of the Ladomirov Convent continued in Canada: the printing house of Venerable Job of Pochaevsky in Montreal published liturgical books, doctrinal and church-historical literature, as well as the Church Review magazine.

One of the distinguishing features of Vladyka Vitaly was his care for the youth. On his initiative, All-Diaspora Congresses of Russian Youth were repeatedly organized, which played an important role in introducing young people to church life. Since 1976, Vladyka Vitaly was one of the deputies of “ROCOR First Hierarch Metropolitan Philaret” society.

After the death of Metropolitan Philaret in November 1985, it became necessary to hold an extraordinary Bishops' Council. On January 22, 1986, in New York City, in the Synodal Cathedral of the Most Holy Theotokos in honor of the Kursk-Root Icon of the Sign, an extraordinary session of the Council of Bishops was held, dedicated to the election of the new First Hierarch. At the same time, neither the first nor the second vote revealed the chosen one, since Archbishop Vitaly and Archbishop Anthony (Bartoshevich) of Geneva received the same number of votes. Then, according to the decision of the Council, the final election of the First Hierarch took place by drawing lots. Both lots were placed in the box in front of the miraculous icon of the "Sign" of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Kursk-Root - Hodegetria of the Russian Diaspora. After singing the kontakion "We Have No Other Help", Archimandrite Gelasy, having accepted the blessing of the most venerable among all, Archbishop Seraphim of Chicago, he drew the lot of His Grace Archbishop Vitaly. The appointment of the new Metropolitan took place on January 25, 1986. Having become Metropolitan of Eastern America and New York, Vladyka Vitaly retained the administration of the Canadian diocese. [four]

In fairness, it must be said that people often coming from Russia tried to somehow find a job at the expense of the Church Abroad, caring little about spiritual matters. Disappointed in these people, and also parting ways with the aforementioned hierarchs Lazarus and Valentine, Vladyka Metropolitan nevertheless believed that “there are real ascetics in Russia, righteous people, confessors, “whom the world is not worthy of!” They, of course, almost always go hungry, eat their meager but honest loaf of bread. There are few of them, they don’t want to go anywhere or flee, but after all, you need a little leaven for the whole dough. May God give them strength,” wrote the Metropolitan, “to leaven all the Russian dough.” [5] Indeed, since 2000 the aged Metropolitan, due to a broken collarbone, had not been physically able to raise his hands and perform consecration.

Everything that happened is the saddest page in the history of the Church Abroad. Metropolitan Vitaly found himself alone. The bulk of the bishops of the Church Abroad longed for union with the unrepentant Moscow Patriarchate, while at the same time a group of priests who did not want a union with the MP embarked on the path of schism, forming a non-canonical jurisdiction, first called the "ROC in Exile", and then ROCOR (V). Supporters of the connection with the MP, wanting to show that Vladyka the Metropolitan could no longer deal with church affairs, repeatedly made attempts to conduct a forced psychiatric examination. Experts, however, certified that the Metropolitan was mentally healthy. Nevertheless, the Synod headed by Metropolitan Laurus (Skurla) did not impose any bans on Metropolitan Vitaly, understanding his condition, that he remained a retired Metropolitan until the end of his days.

The last years of his life, Metropolitan Vitaly spent without a break in Mansonville, attending divine services and occasionally receiving visitors. Over the years, his senile infirmities manifested themselves more and more, expressed in problems with memory. Taking advantage of this, the non-canonical ROCOR (V) group, on behalf of the Metropolitan, circulated various statements that, being in a sound state, Vladyka Vitaly would not have approved of. His Eminence Metropolitan Vitaly passed away on September 25, 2006.

Zealously serving the Church Abroad, Metropolitan Vitaly throughout his long journey was an example of true confession and firm standing in the truth. Until the end of his days, he was an implacable opponent of uniting with the Moscow Patriarchate, mired in ecumenism and Sergianism. In the last years of his life, Vladyka Metropolitan, suffering from the betrayal and violence of his entourage, also turned out to be a martyr.

After Vladyka Metropolitan retired, he needed to be given a quiet and peaceful life worthy of his dignity. However, just as at the beginning of his life as the 10-year-old Rostislav had to endure an orphanage, was in want and bullying, so in his declining years the Lord gave Metropolitan Vitaly to drink the cup of great moral suffering. Being in a weak state, he endured his personal infirmities, and with all his soul grieved over the fate of the Church Abroad, torn apart by apostasy and schism, which he had served without a flaw all his life. We believe that even now Vladyka Metropolitan with a host of martyrs and confessors stands before the Lord and prays for the salvation of the suffering Russian Church.

Игумения Александра: Жизнеописание Высокопреосвященнейшего Митрополита Виталия

Автор: Митрополит Агафангел. Дата публикации: 25 сентября 2022. Категория: Авторская колонка.

Доклад на ежегодной богословской конференции в одесском Архангело-Михайловском епархиальном доме, составленный игуменией Александрой и сестрами Иоанновского женского монастыря

Одесса, 8-10 августа, 2018 года

Четвёртый Первоиерарх РПЦЗ Высокопреосвященный митрополит Виталий, в миру Ростислав Петрович Устинов, родился 18 марта 1910 г. в Санкт-Петербурге в семье морского офицера. Вскоре семья Устиновых переехала в Севастополь к месту службы отца, где Ростислав провёл детство. Вспоминая о детских годах, Владыка Митрополит писал: "Я застал царскую Россию в продолжении моих первых семи лет. Я помню её в деталях, а главным образом помню её дух... в царское время всё было спокойно и благочестиво. Запомнил я всё это скорее не просто памятью, а сердечной памятью". [1]

В 1920 году Ростислав поступил в Крымский кадетский корпус, основанный генералом П. Врангелем в г. Феодосии. В ноябре 1920 г. юный кадет вынужден был вместе с корпусом навсегда покинуть Россию. Продолжим рассказ игумении Александры, переданный со слов Владыки Виталия: "Судно, на котором находился Ростислав, около месяца принуждено было находиться в море, поскольку ни один порт не хотел его принимать. Прежде чем им разрешили пристать в Константинополе, кадетам пришлось потерпеть и холод, и голод. Оторванный от родителей и близких десятилетний Ростислав невыносимо страдал. Впервые в жизни ему пришлось находиться в столь страшных и унизительных условиях. Тому виной были не только холод и голод, но также брань и издевательства старших кадетов, которые ему и его сверстникам приходилось переносить. Продовольствия на судне было мало, но и эту малую порцию часто отбирали у маленького худенького мальчика. Начались холода, дули пронизывающие ветры. Ростислав нашел себе место в трюме, где проходила паровая труба. По ней время от времени шел пар, она нагревалась, и мальчик хоть как-то мог согреться. Наконец судну было разрешено пришвартоваться в Константинополе. После долгих мытарств кадетский корпус приняла Сербия.

Когда кадетский корпус обосновался в Сербии, в г. Белая Церковь, кадетам приходилось жить в нищете. Особенно страдали младшие, у которых старшие отбирали еду, вымещая на них злобу и недовольство своим нищенским положением. Можно себе представить, насколько велика была для маленького изнеженного ребёнка разница прежней безмятежной картиной детства и безысходной действительности. Именно тогда, в минуты ужасающего одиночества, постоянно сжимающего голода и унижения, душа маленького Ростислава стала обращаться к Богу. Он выходил далеко в поле, где его никто не мог видеть, плакал и просил Господа о смерти. Не видя смысла в постоянных страданиях, он не хотел жить. Для него было ясно, что он никогда не увидит своих родных. Чтобы хоть как-то притупить постоянный голод, он собирал выброшенные окурки, закуривал, забываясь на короткое время.

Как-то осенним вечером, когда Ростислав был в поле, начался сильный ливень. Мальчик не стремился побыстрее вернуться. "Пусть я заболею и умру", — думал он. По дороге он поскользнулся и упал в канаву. Мокрый, весь в грязи, кое-как он добрался до корпуса. Ночью у него поднялась температура, он заболел воспалением лёгких. Его лечили, и, хотя истощенный организм мальчика не отличался крепостью, тем не менее, он выжил. Это ободрило маленького страдальца. "Если Господь не дал мне умереть, значит, я зачем-то нужен Господу", — думал он. Так среди болезни, скорбей и лишений юная душа Ростислава училась молитве. Молитва эта была не книжной. Это была молитва страждущего сердца осиротевшего ребенка, который теперь только в Господе искал утешения.

Среди серой безрадостной жизни на чужбине Господь послал Ростиславу и луч радости. В среде русских эмигрантов в Белой Церкви была одна благородная дама, графиня, которой как-то удалось вывезти из России свои драгоценности. Продавая их, она могла скромно жить. Видя, в каком бедственном положении находится кадетский корпус, эта графиня с разрешения начальства брала к себе в дом по очереди младших кадетов на выходные. Настоящая православная христианка, она по-матерински заботилась о бедных детях: кормила их, приводила в порядок их одежду, старалась заменить или починить им бельё, своей лаской стараясь скрасить их суровую жизнь. Образ этой графини возвращал маленькому Ростиславу веру в добро и человечность. Всякий раз, когда мальчик терпел унижения и издевательства, он, сглатывая слёзы, вспоминал светлое лицо своей благодетельницы и ему становилось легче. Молитва также мало-помалу укрепляла его растущую душу.

В 1923 г. Ростислава отыскала мать, живущая во Франции, в Каннах, и вызвала к себе. Полный радужных надежд ехал он к матери, однако его ждало разочарование. К тому времени Лидия Андреевна вторично вышла замуж, родился ребёнок. Сестра Ростислава была вместе с матерью. Отчиму в условиях эмиграции было непросто содержать семью с тремя детьми, и юноша это хорошо понимал. Об отце Ростислав не имел никаких сведений: жив ли он, где находится, было неизвестно. Многие тысячи русских эмигрантов были разбросаны по всему свету. Только спустя более 30 лет Ростислав смог встретиться с отцом, который оказался в США.

С отчимом у Ростислава отношения складывались непросто. Он оказался человеком строгих патриархальных правил. В новой семье матери не было того радушия, простоты и открытости, к которой Ростислав привык с детства. Душевного контакта с отчимом не было, Ростислав чувствовал себя чужим. По рассказам Владыки Виталия, он был благодарен отчиму, что тот не отказался от него и помог получить образование. Ростислава определили в иезуитский колледж имени Св. Людовика, короля Франции, в городе Леман.

Хотя в колледже не было ни одного русского (обучение велось на французском и английском языках), однако Ростислав не забыл ни русский язык, ни культуру. Ксендз колледжа, очень хорошо относившийся к Ростиславу, говорил по-русски, знал русскую литературу и музыку и всячески старался поддержать своего ученика. Он давал ему темы для докладов, связанные с Россией. Мать присылала Ростиславу необходимые книги на русском языке.

Из-за материальных трудностей и сложных отношений с отчимом Ростислав почти не бывал в доме матери. Праздники Рождества и Пасхи он проводил в семье своего друга по колледжу, где к нему очень хорошо относились. Во время летних каникул он работал на цветочных плантациях в Грассе, собирая лепестки цветов для парфюмерной промышленности. Заработанные деньги юноша отправлял матери".

После окончания колледжа Ростислав в 1934 г. был призван на военную службу в конный кирасирский полк. По окончании срока службы он отверг предложение начальства о военной карьере и был демобилизован. Матушка Александра продолжает свой рассказ: "Отбыв воинскую службу, Ростислав устроился приказчиком в парижский дом моды. В работе он был успешен, общение с клиентами ему давалось легко. Молодой человек знал все тонкости французкого этикета. Однако успехи на службе его не удовлетворяли. Несмотря на жизнь в столице Франции, Ростислав по натуре оставался истинно-русским. Душа его стремилась к молитве и подвижничеству. Он постоянно ходил в храм, постился, молитва была неотъемлемой частью его жизни". В Париже он поступил в Свято-Сергиевский богословский институт, но не найдя там должной духовной атмосферы, Ростислав вскоре оставил учебу. В поисках ответов на свои духовные вопросы он наладил переписку с монастырем преп. Иова Почаевского в Словакии.

В 1937 г. Ростислав, несмотря на непонимание матери и отчима, покинул Францию и поступил послушником в монастырь преп. Иова Почаевского в Ладомирово. "По рассказам Владыки Виталия, — вспоминает матушка Александра, — он приехал в монастырь одетым в дорогой костюм и благоухающим по французской моде. Костюм в монастыре с него сняли и одели в старый подрясник, дав послушание на кухне. Владыка Митрополит любил и умел готовить, но тогда, в молодые годы у него было мало практических навыков. Кроме того, новоначальному послушнику было трудно свыкнуться со строгостью монастырской жизни. По собственному признанию Владыки Виталия, поначалу в монастыре ему ничего не давалось, всё валилось из рук. Для образованного и успешного молодого человека нелегко было такое перенести. С горячей молитвой Ростислав обращался к Богу, чтобы Господь помог ему правильно исполнить послушание. Примерно через год он освоился, его перевели в пекарню".

В 1939 г. Ростислав был пострижен в рясофор с именем Виталий в честь мученика Виталия Римского. Постриг совершил настоятель монастыря архимандрит Серафим (Иванов). Позднее инок Виталий трудился в монастырской типографии. Спустя некоторое время ему дали послушание изучать богослужебный устав.

В 1940 г. в дни Великого поста будущий Первоиерарх был пострижен в мантию, а 17 июля того же года рукоположен в иеродиакона. 10 октября 1941 г. в столице Словакии Братиславе митрополит Берлинский и Германский Серафим (Ляде) рукоположил отца Виталия в иеромонаха, после чего настоятелем монастыря ему было вверено окормление трёх сел на границе с Польшей. Оставаясь насельником монастыря, отец Виталий по воскресным и праздничным дням ездил служить в словацкие села. Местные крестьяне полюбили его. В одном из сёл взамен старого обветшалого храма прихожане выстроили новый. Однако начавшаяся Вторая мировая война заставила братство монастыря в 1944 г. покинуть Ладомирово и эвакуироваться в Германию. С приближением советских войск братство стало пробираться к швейцарской границе, так как друзьям братства удалось выхлопотать для насельников швейцарские визы.

Иеромонах Виталий оказался в Берлине, где вместе с архимандритом Нафанаилом (Львовым) среди русских беженцев развил широкую миссионерскую деятельность. В то время Берлин днем и ночью подвергался усиленным бомбардировкам, и всё русское духовенство покинуло столицу. Иеромонах Виталий и архимандрит Нафанаил добровольно остались при кафедральном соборе для окормления многочисленной русской паствы. Они покинули Берлин уже в последний момент, когда советские войска заходили в город с юга. Поэтому они решили двигаться на север, к Гамбургу. Добравшись до Гамбурга, отец Виталий занялся устройством церковной жизни при лагере Фишбек. Этот лагерь в течение нескольких лет был одним из центров русской православной жизни в Европе. В лагере был устроен Успенский храм, настоятелем которого был отец Виталий. Вокруг себя он собрал небольшую монашескую братию, а также основал типографию, которая стала печатать для всех лагерных церквей Германии "Великие сборники", молитвословы и периодически — "Почаевские листки". При храме отец Виталий организовал курсы псаломщиков, а также преподавал группе юношей богословские науки.

После окончания войны отец Виталий и отец Нафанаил стали ездить по лагерям русских беженцев, чтобы спасти их от репатриации. Советские агенты вылавливали русских и насильно увозили в репатриационные лагеря, поэтому беженцы жили в постоянном страхе. Лагеря, которые посещали отец Виталий и отец Нафанаил, находились в английской зоне. Оба пастыря прекрасно говорили по-английски, поэтому встречали хороший прием со стороны английских офицеров. За несколько месяцев им удалось выручить и отослать на запад не одну тысячу русских людей, которых на родине ждал лагерь. Оба пастыря безстрашно выполняли свою миссию, не раз подвергаясь опасности погибнуть под пулей патруля или самим быть увезенными в СССР, но Господь их хранил.

Насколько жертвенным было служение отца Виталия, говорит тот факт, что он окормлял и туберкулезных больных. В северной части Германии находился спецлагерь, куда из разных мест свозили таких больных. Их не лечили, они находились в самом плачевном состоянии, получая только скудную еду — похлебку из брюквы. Отец Виталий обращался к этим страждущим людям с проповедью о необходимости церковных таинств — исповеди и причастия. К его радости, все больные изъявляли желание исповедаться и причаститься. [2]

12 июля 1951 г. в день святых апостолов Петра и Павла архимандрит Виталий был рукоположен в сан епископа Сан-Паулосского, викария Бразильской епархии. Хиротонию совершили епископ Брюссельский и Западно-Европейский Нафанаил (Львов) и епископ Женевский Леонтий (Бартошевич).

По прибытии в Бразилию местом жительства Владыки Виталия стало местечко Вилла Альпина в пригороде Сан-Пауло, где на большом участке земли находился храм во имя Пресвятой Живоначальной Троицы. Владыка основал здесь монашеское братство и наладил печатную деятельность. Здесь стал издаваться журнал "Православное обозрение", который Владыка издавал почти до самой своей кончины. Наряду с проповедью учения Церкви журнал давал ответы на вопросы, которые современная жизнь ставит перед каждым церковным человеком. В редакционном обращении к читателю, в частности, было сказано: "Наш журнал ставит себе целью возродить древнее, святоотеческое, православное мировоззрение, предлагая православную точку зрения на самые современные явления и события. Со времён Петра Великого наша Православная школа и образованное общество подпали под влияние протестантских и римских мыслей, от которых мы и до сего дня полностью ещё не освободились. Такое раздвоение и настроение нашей идеологии очень расслабило наши нравственные силы. Мы потеряли свою духовную целостность и целеустремленность, и самое главное горе в том, что с таким полу-схоластическим, расщеплённым мировоззрением невозможно за собой никого повести.

В особенности мы боимся за наше молодое поколение, которое всё больше и больше погружается в какое-то состояние глубокого сна. Нельзя теперь просто говорить и проповедовать молодежи, что надо молиться и поститься и повторять вечные истины по старым схоластическим учебникам. Необходимо показать, почему и как это всё надо делать в современных условиях..." [3] По рассказам игумении Александры, многие прихожане, уважая Владыку Пантелеимона, не верили в его виновность, поэтому они очень недружелюбно встретили Владыку Виталия. Многие даже хотели уйти из Зарубежной Церкви. Занимая определенные места в управлении приходом, эти люди, привыкшие, что с их мнением считались, оказывали сопротивление власти епископа, возмущая других прихожан. Приходя в церковь, они всем своим видом показывали негативное отношение к новому архипастырю: не кланялись ему во время службы и демонстративно отворачивались, когда он проходил мимо. Впервые столкнувшись с подобным инцидентом, архиепископ Виталий много сил и терпения положил на то, чтобы умиротворить недовольных прихожан, убедить их в правильности решения Синода и вернуть в Зарубежную Церковь. К счастью, Владыке Виталию удалось восстановить доверие прихожан и вернуть недовольных в лоно Церкви.

В Монреале трудами архиепископа Виталия было приобретено здание для кафедрального собора, обустроено архиерейское подворье с типографией; в Оттаве построен Покровский храм, в Мансонвилле (провинция Квебек) основан Преображенский мужской скит с храмом и большими корпусами для братии.

Типографские традиции Ладомировской обители продолжились и в Канаде: типография преп. Иова Почаевского в Монреале выпускала богослужебные книги, вероучительную и церковно-историческую литературу, а также журнал "Церковное обозрение".

Одной из отличительных черт Владыки Виталия являлась забота о молодёжи. По его инициативе неоднократно организовывались Всезарубежные съезды русской молодёжи, сыгравшие важную роль для приобщения молодых людей к церковной жизни. С 1976 г. Владыка Виталий был одним из заместителей Первоиерарха РПЦЗ Митрополита Филарета.

После кончины Митрополита Филарета в ноябре 1985 г. возникла необходимость провести внеочередной Архиерейский Собор. 22 января 1986 г. в г. Нью-Йорке, в синодальном соборе Пресвятой Богородицы в честь иконы "Знамения" Курская-Коренная состоялась чрезвычайная сессия Архиерейского Собора, посвященная избранию Первоиерарха. При этом ни первое, ни второе голосование не выявили избранника, так как архиепископ Виталий и архиепископ Женевский Антоний (Бартошевич) получили одинаковое число голосов. Тогда, согласно постановлению Собора, окончательное избрание Первоиерарха совершилось путём вынимания жребия. Оба жребия были положены в ковчежец перед чудотворной иконой "Знамения" Пресвятой Богородицы Курской-Коренной — Одигитрии Русского Зарубежья. После пения кондака "Не имамы иныя помощи", архимандрит Геласий, приняв благословение старейшего между всеми преосвященного Архиепископа Серафима Чикагского, извлёк жребий Преосвященного Архиепископа Виталия. Настолование нового Митрополита состоялось 25 января 1986 г. Став Митрополитом Восточно-Американским и Нью-Йоркским, Владыка Виталий сохранил за собой управление Канадской епархией. [4]

Справедливости ради надо сказать, что часто приезжающие из России люди стремились как-то устроиться за счет Зарубежной Церкви за границей, мало заботясь о духовных вопросах. Разочаровываясь в этих людях, а также разойдясь с вышеназванными иерархами Лазарем и Валентином, Владыка Митрополит тем не менее считал, что "есть в России настоящие подвижники, праведники, исповедники, "которых мир не достоин!" Они, конечно, почти всегда голодают, едят свою скудную, но честную краюху хлеба. Их мало, они никуда не стремятся ехать или лететь, но и закваски ведь надо немного для всего теста. Дай Бог им силы, — писал Митрополит, — заквасить всё русское тесто". [5] Действительно, престарелый Митрополит из-за перелома ключицы с 2000 года физически не был в состоянии поднять руки и совершить хиротонию. Сам Митрополит Виталий вышеназванных хиротоний не признавал, говоря: "Это не мои епископы".

Всё случившееся является самой печальной страницей истории Зарубежной Церкви. Митрополит Виталий оказался в одиночестве. Основная часть епископов Зарубежной Церкви чаяла соединения с нераскаянной Московской Патриархией, в то же время группа священников, не желающая унии с МП, встала на путь раскола, образовав неканоническую юрисдикцию, сначала именующуюся "РПЦ в изгнании", а затем РПЦЗ (В). Сторонники соединения с МП, желая показать, что Владыка Митрополит не может больше заниматься церковными делами, неоднократно делали попытки проведения принудительной психиатрической экспертизы. Эксперты, однако, удостоверяли, что Митрополит психически здоров. Тем не менее, Синод возглавляемый Митрополитом Лавром не накладывал на Митрополита Виталия никаких прещений, понимая его состояние, он так и остался до конца своих дней Митрополитом на покое.

Последние годы жизни Митрополит Виталий провёл безвыездно в Мансонвилле, посещая богослужения и изредка принимая посетителей. С годами всё более сказывались его старческие немощи, выражающиеся в проблемах с памятью. Пользуясь этим, неканоничная группировка РПЦЗ (В) от лица Митрополита распространяла различные заявления, которые, находясь в здравом состоянии, Владыка Виталий бы не одобрил. Скончался Высокопреосвященнейший Митрополит Виталий 25 сентября 2006 г.

Ревностно служа Зарубежной Церкви, Митрополит Виталий на протяжении всего своего долгого пути являл собою пример подлинного исповедничества и твёрдого стояния в истине. До конца своих дней он был непримиримым противником соединения с погрязшей в экуменизме и сергианстве Московской Патриархией. Последние годы жизни Владыка Митрополит, страдая от предательства и насилия своего окружения, оказался ещё и мучеником.

После того, как Владыка Митрополит ушёл на покой, ему нужно было предоставить достойную его сана тихую и спокойную жизнь. Однако, подобно тому, как в начале своего жизненного пути 10-летнему Ростиславу пришлось претерпеть сиротство, нужду и издевательства, так и на склоне лет Господь дал Митрополиту Виталию испить чашу больших нравственных страданий. Находясь в немощном состоянии, он претерпевал и свои личные немощи, и всей душой скорбел о судьбе раздираемой отступничеством и расколом Зарубежной Церкви, которой он всю жизнь служил без остатка. Верим, что и ныне Владыка Митрополит с сонмом мучеников и исповедников предстоит пред Господом и молит о спасении страждущей Русской Церкви.

Dangers of Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine

Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Goes Into Liver Cells and Is Converted to DNA: Study

By Meiling Lee

March 1, 2022 Updated: June 26, 2022


The messenger RNA (mRNA) from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and is converted into DNA, according to Swedish researchers at Lund University.

The researchers found that when the mRNA vaccine enters the human liver cells, it triggers the cell’s DNA, which is inside the nucleus, to increase the production of the LINE-1 gene expression to make mRNA.

The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cell’s cytoplasm, where it translates into LINE-1 protein. A segment of the protein called the open reading frame-1, or ORF-1, then goes back into the nucleus, where it attaches to the vaccine’s mRNA and reverse transcribes into spike DNA.

Reverse transcription is when DNA is made from RNA, whereas the normal transcription process involves a portion of the DNA serving as a template to make an mRNA molecule inside the nucleus.

“In this study we present evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 is able to enter the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro,” the researchers wrote in the study, published in Current Issues of Molecular Biology. “BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA as fast as 6 [hours] after BNT162b2 exposure.”

BNT162b2 is another name for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that is marketed under the brand name Comirnaty.

The whole process occurred rapidly within six hours. The vaccine’s mRNA converting into DNA and being found inside the cell’s nucleus is something that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said would not happen.

“The genetic material delivered by mRNA vaccines never enters the nucleus of your cells,” the CDC said on its web page titled “Myths and Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines.”


This is the first time that researchers have shown in vitro or inside a petri dish how an mRNA vaccine is converted into DNA on a human liver cell line, and is what health experts and fact-checkers said for over a year couldn’t occur.

The CDC says that the “COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way,” claiming that all of the ingredients in both mRNA and viral vector COVID-19 vaccines (administered in the United States) are discarded from the body once antibodies are produced. These vaccines deliver genetic material that instructs cells to begin making spike proteins found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 to produce an immune response.

Pfizer didn’t comment on the findings of the Swedish study and said only that its mRNA vaccine does not alter the human genome.

“Our COVID-19 vaccine does not alter the DNA sequence of a human cell,” a Pfizer spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email. “It only presents the body with the instructions to build immunity.”

More than 215 million or 64.9 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated as of Feb. 28, with 94 million having received a booster dose.

Autoimmune Disorders

The Swedish study also found spike proteins expressed on the surface of the liver cells that researchers say may be targeted by the immune system and possibly cause autoimmune hepatitis, as “there [have] been case reports on individuals who developed autoimmune hepatitis after BNT162b2 vaccination.”

The authors of the first reported case of a healthy 35-year-old female who developed autoimmune hepatitis a week after her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine said that there is a possibility that “spike-directed antibodies induced by vaccination may also trigger autoimmune conditions in predisposed individuals” as it has been shown that “severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection are characterized by an autoinflammatory dysregulation that contributes to tissue damage,” which the virus’s spike protein appears to be responsible for.

Spike proteins may circulate in the body after an infection or injection with a COVID-19 vaccine. It was assumed that the vaccine’s spike protein would remain mostly at the injection site and last up to several weeks like other proteins produced in the body. But studies are showing that is not the case.

The Japanese regulatory agency’s biodistribution study (pdf) of the Pfizer vaccine showed that some of the mRNAs moved from the injection site and through the bloodstream, and were found in various organs such as the liver, spleen, adrenal glands, and ovaries of rats 48 hours following injection.

In a different study, the spike proteins made in the body after receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 shot have been found on tiny membrane vesicles called exosomes—that mediate cell-to-cell communication by transferring genetic materials to other cells—for at least four months after the second vaccine dose.

The persistence of the spike protein in the body “raises the prospect of sustained inflammation within and damage to organs which express the spike protein,” according to experts at Doctors for COVID Ethics, an organization consisting of physicians and scientists “seeking to uphold medical ethics, patient safety, and human rights in response to COVID-19.”

“As long as the spike protein can be detected on cell-derived membrane vesicles, the immune system will be attacking the cells that release these vesicles,” they said.

Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist, wrote on Twitter that the Swedish study’s findings have “enormous implications of permanent chromosomal change and long-term constitutive spike synthesis driving the pathogenesis of a whole new genre of chronic disease.”

Whether the findings of the study will occur in living organisms or if the DNA converted from the vaccine’s mRNA will integrate with the cell’s genome is unknown. The authors said more investigations are needed, including in whole living organisms such as animals, to better understand the potential effects of the mRNA vaccine.

“At this stage, we do not know if DNA reverse transcribed from BNT162b2 is integrated into the cell genome. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the effect of BNT162b2 on genomic integrity, including whole genome sequencing of cells exposed to BNT162b2, as well as tissues from human subjects who received BNT162b2 vaccination,” the authors said.

real-life film footage: But AS IF it were some sort of "Action-Video-Game

 SHOCKING!-AS IT HAPPENS: real-life film footage: But AS IF it were some sort of "Action-Video-Game", as we watch real human beings ACTUALLY being machined gunned down, blown up and/or burned alive, & Russian tanks running over their own wounded & dying.  
  Time:   Sat, 24 Sep 2022 

And all of this, totally unnecessarily/unjustifiably instigated and  caused by mass murderer, WAR-LOVING insane power-mad dying dictator, ”Freely and Democratically Elected, PRESIDENT”?- Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, “The Sincere Orthodox Christian”??? – who among his other bizarre mentally deranged  self-identity fantasy roles, thinks that he is a another version of CZAR PETER THE GREAT!... And what will be next from him?-unless he & his Kremlin fellow gangsters, are not SOON TOTALLY removed from power?- likely: World-Wide Nuclear War, and mass famine and the deaths of many many millions of totally innocent human beings…far more than he personally already has helped to cause to horribly suffer & die. Then, any version of “Russia” also will cease to exist, and all those, anywhere in the world,  who currently believe in him and who obey his orders and/or who actually do his murdering and pilageing  for him….which are all the actions of NON-CHRISTIAN IMMORAL HEATHENS, not any version of CHRISTIANS, and most certainly not of ANY SINCERE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN!

If Vladimir Putin is not himself THE Anti-Christ, then he certainly is a serious forerunner of that profoundly evil being.

SAVE US O CHRIST-GOD!

WE LIVE NOW IN VERY, VERY,  DANGEROUS TIMES!-more than ever before, we must cling to God.

what is going on, at the Kremlin level

 One! very brief & direct "big picture" of what is going on, at the Kremlin level: & about those recently previously running Russia before Putin, & what Putin's main power plan has been and still is: ONE! quicky analysis that makes a lot of common sense.
 
  Time:   Fri, 23 Sep 2022 

But, this rather fatalistic  picture given in this article is not a happy picture-that is for sure-not for Russia nor for the rest of our world, if “President” Vladimir Putin is allowed to continue to rule Russia, as its total dictator, with his unchecked powers over life and death, over peace or making more wars of aggression and conquest.

Russians fleeing, because of Putin's broadening of his war

About huge numbers of Russians fleeing, because of Putin's broadening of his war on Ukraine, WITH HIS RENEWED OPEN THREATS TO "NUKE THE WEST", and his announced "Calling Up Of Reservists", conscripted to be forcibly sent there, to do his dirty-work.  

  Time:  Thu, 22 Sep 2022


My personal observations and comments:


It is very unfortunate, in my view, that most bordering western aligned/pro-Ukraine nations, have now closed their borders to ALL RUSSIAN-FEDERATION  citizens. Previously those border nations were the quickest and easiest countries to flee to: by train, short air-flights, roads, or to simply walk into,  for those many moral and righteous Russians, who do not want any part in Putin’s murderous fratricidal unjust war against their brother and sister, Ukrainians, a vicious genocidal war which many many Russian people, especially among the younger generation, MANY OF WHOM, DO NOT LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT PUTIN, or his insane plans to return Russia and its former satellite Soviet-Era  captive nations to  the “good old days” of the abysmal dismal backward  and unfree, USSR, and march further on, to rule the world. SO, they have to flee, if they can…but that takes MONEY, which many of younger Russians  do not have, especially as their Russian rubles now, are not being accepted in western nations.


So who can comfortably flee to the West. .or to ALMOST virtually anywhere around the globe?: wealthy Russians, with the Oligark class the most able to easily leave (perhaps even on their own luxury yachts, or jet-planes) and begin their lives anew, in the free West…or wherever.

P.S. In this sorry old, fallen from God’s grace, world, it is often the innocents, both of humans and the innocent animals,  and the materialy poorest, who suffer the most, from those who in their worldly arrogance, routinely imagine,  - that they DO NOT NEED GOD, and who distane the poor,  and in their sins and material excesses, of the most morally wicked among us….those who, in general RUN THIS ENTIRE WORLD…in .all nations, not alone Putin’s enslaved post-Soviet Russian Federation. ”The fool has said in his heart: There is no God!”.


IF Putin and his fellow Kremlin gangsters are not soon removed from power, it is now highly likely, for world-wide  nuclear war, at any day now. Entire nations may be removed from this earth. “Oh how! the wicked prosper!”


Even so, Come quickly Lord Jesus! Come quickly!


In prayer…………. and tears……….. and preparing for my own immortal soul’s departure,  I hope!... to the New Jerusalem On High- God grant it!


But why do so many others, now, not seem to understand, TO SEE,  how very grave is this situation?

Russians Rush for Flights out amid Partial Reservist Call-up


Wednesday, 21 September 2022


BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Large numbers of Russians rushed to book one-way tickets out of the country while they still could Wednesday after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization of military reservists for the war in Ukraine.


Flights filled up quickly and the prices of tickets for remaining connections sky-rocketed, apparently driven by fears that Russia's borders could soon close or of a broader call-up that might send many Russian men of fighting age to the war's front lines.


Tickets for the Moscow-Belgrade flights operated by Air Serbia, the only European carrier besides Turkish Airlines to maintain flights to Russia despite a European Union flight embargo, sold out for the next several days. The price for flights from Moscow to Istanbul or Dubai increased within minutes before jumping again, reaching as high as 9,200 euros ($9,119) for a one-way economy class fare.


Putin's decree stipulates that the amount of people called to active duty will be determined by the Defense Ministry. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a televised interview that 300,000 reservists with relevant combat and service experience initially would be mobilized.


Russia has seen a marked exodus of citizens since Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine almost seven months ago. During the early morning address to the nation in which the president announced the partial mobilization of reservists, he also issued a veiled nuclear threat to Russia's enemies in the West.


Reports of panic spreading among Russians soon flooded social networks. Anti-war groups said the limited airplane tickets out of Russia reached enormous prices due to high demand and swiftly became unavailable.


Some postings alleged people already had been turned back from Russia's land border with Georgia and that the website of the state Russian railway company collapsed because too many people were checking for ways out of the country.



Social networks in Russian also surged with advice on how to avoid the mobilization or leave the country.


In an apparent attempt to calm the panic, the head of the defense committee of the lower house of Russia’s parliament, Andrei Kartapolov, said authorities would not place additional restrictions on reservists leaving Russia, according to Russian media reports.


A group based in Serbia, Russians, Belarussians, Ukrainians and Serbs Together Against War, tweeted that there were no available flights to Belgrade from Russia until mid-October. Flights to Turkey, Georgia or Armenia also sold out, according to the Belgrade-based group.


“All the Russians who wanted to go to war already went,” the group said. “No one else wants to go there!”


Serbia's capital, Belgrade, has become a popular destination for Russians during the war. Up to 50,000 Russians have fled to Serbia since Russia invaded Ukraine and many opened businesses, especially in the IT sector.


Russians don’t need visas to enter Serbia, which is the only European country which has not joined Western sanctions against Russia for its aggression in Ukraine.
