And they came to rule you

Faith finds expression in deeds.

If there is no deeds, then there is no faith, and there is only hypocritical chatter about faith.

(Doctor of Theology Hewlett Johnson, Abbot of Canterbury Cathedral)

The television pulpit again calls for a crusade, guided by perjury and falsification of traitors and Judas …

Human memory is short …

In a difficult time, on September 8, 1943, a Council of Bishops of the Orthodox Church was held in Moscow, convened for the election of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and the formation of the Holy Synod under the Patriarch.

Further, the Council unanimously adopted the appeal announced by Metropolitan Sergius to the Government of the USSR expressing gratitude for the attention to the needs of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Archbishop Gregory of Saratov read an appeal to Christians all over the world. This document contains a call for the unification of all efforts in the fight against Hitlerism.

The second document, also unanimously adopted by the Council, is:

Condemnation of traitors to faith and fatherland

Alongside the gratifying manifestations of the patriotic activity of the Orthodox clergy and laity, it is all the more sad to see phenomena of the opposite nature.

Among the clergy and laity there are those who, having forgotten the fear of God, dare to build their well-being on common misfortune: they meet the Germans as welcome guests, get a job with them, and sometimes reach outright betrayal, betraying their fellows, for example, partisans and others, to the enemy. sacrificing themselves for their homeland.

An obliging conscience, of course, is always ready to suggest an excuse for such behavior. But Judas 'betrayal never ceases to be Judas' betrayal. Just as Judas destroyed his soul and with his body suffered an exceptional punishment even here on earth, so these traitors, preparing for themselves eternal destruction, will not escape Cain's fate on earth.

The fascists will suffer just punishment for their robberies, murders and other atrocities. These henchmen of the fascists, who thought to profit behind their back, at the expense of their brothers, cannot expect themselves to be spared.

The Holy Orthodox Church, both Russian and Eastern, has already condemned the traitors to the Christian cause and traitors to the Church.

And we, today, gathered in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, confirm this condemnation and decree: everyone who is guilty of treason to the common church cause and has gone over to the side of fascism, as an enemy of the Cross of the Lord, may be considered excommunicated, and a bishop or clergyman - defrocked. Amen.

Moscow September 8, 1943

Sergius, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomensky

And 18 more signatures of archbishops from all dioceses of the USSR

"Do not offend anyone, do not slander and be content with your salary." (Luke III, 14)

After the "ominous", deceitful report on the personality cult, N. Khrushchev stopped the additional payment for orders and medals to veterans of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Well-deserved payments for blood, salty sweat, for lack of sleep, overcoming illness, for the tears of mothers whose sons fell …

And, as if in revenge for the Victory, he began to pay cash payments to the victims, ruined by him and his accomplices - the Trotskyists.

A weak person … Everyone wanted to get into this cohort …

And tearful "revelations" of the victims poured, who checked them? Memoirs and recollections were generously paid for by the enemies of the fatherland, and were even welcomed at the highest level.

The architect of perestroika A. Yakovlev (from 1958 to 1959 trained at Columbia University (USA)), they worked a miracle with his comrades: they made a jump in time, "signed" - more precisely, falsified, the deceased members of the Politburo, Stalin - encryption programs and gave all documents a repressive view.

The cynicism of the deed, in the desecration of history, a mockery of the memory of the fallen, the greatest deception of the living, is not this punishment that we are standing over an abyss in lies …

Ex-chairman of the KGB of the USSR Vladimir Kryuchkov in his book "Personal File" (1994) wrote:

“I have never heard a warm word from Yakovlev about the Motherland, did not notice that he was proud of something, for example, our victory in the Great Patriotic War. This especially struck me, because he himself was a participant in the war, he was seriously wounded.

Apparently, the desire to destroy, discredit everything and everyone prevailed over justice, the most natural human feelings, over elementary decency in relation to the Motherland and their own people."

“And yet - I have never heard from him a single kind word about the Russian people. And the very concept of "people" for him never existed at all."

Perjury is the worst of sins - isn't it a betrayal of the fatherland, the people? And there is no excuse for the sin of Judas. For it was not the power that was betrayed - the Fatherland.

Even in tsarist times, Emperor Nicholas I issued a decree by virtue of which, for betrayal - the surrender of the Raphael ship to the Turks, the former commander of the Raphael - Captain Stankov, it was forbidden to marry, so that the offspring of an unworthy servant of the fatherland and the fleet would not multiply.

Further, it was commanded, even at a meeting in peacetime, to let the traitorous ship sink to the bottom. The Turks have already renamed it "Fazli - Dzhelah", which means - given by God.

Subsequently, taken almost unscathed in the Sinop battle, "Fazli-Jelakh" was solemnly and publicly burned.

And in our country the falsification and lies of Judas are spreading in millions of copies.

And their support is a betrayal.

And they came to rule you … For their vice acquired the features of virtues, having abolished the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now we are confused, how to tell the truth from the lie? A sleepy conscience is no longer a clue.

And if we become slaves to sin, then we face the fate of this person: to live our whole life as a weapon of evil on earth, in madness, in suffering, in the creation of evil.

False humanity, and most importantly, completely misconceptions about the moral properties of human virtues.

And if running - a glimpse of the history of the Fatherland. And the pages are screaming again!

Why do we forget that thousands of companions of evil worked for the destruction of the country of the Soviets. And it is in vain to think that this is only against the communists and their ideas.

The struggle against the Fatherland and the people has been going on for centuries.

In 1876, when Russia came to the aid of the Bulgarian people, everyone rushed to help Turkey. British ships transported the Turkish army and ammunition.

The Pope, the embodiment of good, put on the robe of Satan, destroying the dogma of faith - Silabus - the infallibility of the papal throne.

In 1929, another Pope declares a crusade against the USSR. And at the same time, thousands of prudent people helped the Land of Soviets free of charge.

Doctor of Theology Hewlett Johnson, Abbot of Canterbury Cathedral, put it:

“You are wrong to think that there are so few true Christians: there are at least 170 million of them.

- ???

“I mean,” Hewlett Johnson replied, “the Soviet Union… The West speaks Christian words, but does anti-Christian deeds; The Soviet Union speaks anti-Christian words, but does Christian deeds, deeds are most important …

No wonder the Apostle Matthew said: "By their fruits you will recognize them …" True Christians of our day are the Bolsheviks."

On Christian morality, Hewlett Johnson, in his 1957 book Christians and Communism, says:

“Do we not see here in the USSR - a dialectical shift - the birth of a new life, based on a higher, moral foundation and based on scientifically planned production and planned distribution? She rejects the name of Christianity only because in tsarist Russia and other countries, where all knowledge and every liberal movement was suppressed, this name became the antithesis of the teachings and ideas of Christ."

And further:

“Our homeland, England, harbored Marx and Engels, men who created the scientific teaching on how to curb possessiveness by using it in the interests of the greatest enterprise ever contemplated by mankind. Lenin, who also enjoyed refuge in our country, tried to put this idea into practice, and he succeeded. So, under other names, under the names of socialism and communism, fundamentally imbued with the true spirit of Christian morality, the Christian idea is reviving again."

Each of the readers has his own criterion of faith and betrayal, so each will choose his own "hero", to whom the following unnamed lines, printed during the years of the revolution, a hundred years ago, are dedicated.

Traitor

Branded with the seal of contempt

You are rejected and are persecuted by everyone.

You will never meet forgiveness:

You are a traitor to the precepts of the saints.

You betrayed the cause, dear to everyone, Trampled the sacred banner into the mud, A banner drenched in holy blood, With the blood of those who suffered for the truth, About whom the memory will remain eternal, How about sons loyal to Russia, Who is the subject of endless love, Will live in millions of hearts.

About you dishonorable, shameful

There will be a memory. She will not die -

And into history with a black ribbon, A hateful page will enter.

Your name will be written with a curse

To a string of shameful names

To those who betrayed their brothers, Who is forever branded with shame.

Bury yourself in a distant foreign land, To live without daring in the native land, With a burning pain in my soul, lonely

And, eaten by gloomy anguish.

This pain, this torment, suffering, That invariably reign in the soul, Let them be your punishment

Let them atone for a drop of guilt!..
