• VIDEO: Barnaul, Russian Federation, ROCA Nativity Divine Liturgy & Concert, Church of the Ascension

     Our persecuted Barnaul Ascension flock, worshipping in their, twice-remodeled, burned out church, itself originally just a run-down barn-like structure.  They having been thrown out of their original beautiful church, when they rejected the false KGB run, Stalin created, utterly bogus & un-canonical and apostate, Sergianist  "Moscow Patriarchia', and  which former  magnificent parish church of theirs, they had  built 100% with their own monies and with their own hands, and with much devotion and love for God.

     Such are the methods of the MP, and the real meaning in Putin's neo-soviet  Russian Federation of, 'Religious Freedom', ..'protected in the Russian Constitution' (!)...ha! ha! ha!

     How easy we in the west have it, so far,  compared to these fellow suffering Orthodox believers.......... they LIVE their Orthodox Christian faith..... do we?

     And, this MP, KGB staffed and run, organization, is that 'Other part of the Russian Church', that in June of 2007, a sizable part of our old ROCOR, was submitted and betrayed to, and is now in ..full and slavish 'fraternal' union with, ...and this ROCOR/MP..... is silent about the many many wrongs of this MP, or probably actually agrees with the MP and the Putin government, in their persecuting and trying to exterminate any and all opposition to it, especially inside of Russia, such as there is,.... more and more of, in Russia today.
