Ukrainain Orthodoxy on the eve of Pan-Orthodox Council. Part III
The history evidences: the Local Churches that were historically associated with earthly empires were uninterested in the canonical establishment of local churches under their jurisdictions, and therefore usually granted autocephaly to churches only under the pressure of historic circumstances. No exception is the Moscow Patriarchate, which has incorporated the Orthodox Church in Ukraine since 1686.

Ukrainian Orthodoxy: path to recovery of Church unity. Part II
Ukrainian Orthodoxy and Ukrainian society suffer from division. The majority of Ukrainian Orthodox believers belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. The rest of the Orthodox community of Ukraine has chosen a different path of self-proclaimed autocephaly. However, neither the first nor the second path is optimal for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine to date.

Moscow Patriarchate created by NKVD agents, according to SBU documents
The Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, in which Moscow's Patriarch was elected in 1945, was held under the control of the People's Commissariat of State Security (NKVD), which was the Soviet KGB predecessor.
This is evidenced by the archival documents of the former head office of the KGB of Ukraine, which the Security Service of Ukraine has declassified, and which have been published in the form of photocopies and are being discussed on social networks, reports Espresso TV citing the Russian edition Znak.
As RISU learned, the documents were discovered by Lviv historian Roman Skakun at the 9th SBU Archive Fund in Kyiv. He sent the photocopies of the materials to Russian colleagues who are studying this issue.
It becomes clear from the declassified documents that the NKGB USSR and its subdivisions in the Union and autonomous republics, territories and regions were engaged in the selection of candidates for participation in the Council of the representatives of the clergy and laity. To this end, it was necessary to identify “persons who enjoy religious authority among the clergy and believers, and at the same time are the persons proven in the intelligence or patriotic work”.
“It is important to ensure that among the nominated candidates the NKGB agents were prevailing to pursue our strategy at the Council,” goes the letter sent in September 1944 and signed by Fedotov, chief of the 2nd Division of the NKVD USSR and Karpov, chief of the 5th Division, 2nd Directorate.
Background: In 1943, in response to the revived activity of the Orthodox churches in the USSR under the Nazi occupation, Stalin, with propaganda purposes, decided to lift the ban on the activities of the ROC.
The Local Council, which was held in the winter of 1945, adopted a regulation on the governance of the Russian Orthodox Church and Metropolitan Alexiy (Simansky) of Leningrad by open vote elected as Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. In addition, the Council approved the name of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Нічого всуціль ідеального й довершеного, шановний друже Валентине, у цьому світі, на жаль, не існує. В т. ч. і серед УСІХ, без винятку, еклезіальних структур і спільнот УСІХ конфесій і деномінацій.

Как же вы надоели своим постоянным безграмотным враньём и передергиванием фактов. В 1943 году был избран Патриарх Сергий, он умер в 1944 году, а в 1945 был избран Патриарх Алексий. Все делалось под контролем КГБ и Уполномоченного по делам религий Карпова. Все эти документы давно рассекречены, всем известны, написано много книг. А вот о чем вы стыдливо умалчиваете, так это, что лучшим и ценнейшим агентом КГБ был Денисенко под кличкой "Антонов"!
Как видим, ув. Михаил, судя по всему, имеет (или когда-то имел) свободный доступ к этому - сверхсекретному реестру (списку) "лучших и ценнейших агентов" КГБ! Видать, сам состоял на службе (по-видимому, не просто "стукачил", а даже более того!) у этих коммуно-совдеповских органов...
Для кого ця інформація розрахована, яка структура в часи СРСР була не підконтрольна КГБ. Зато заголовк статті показує що вот хто такі МП. Дорогі журналісти будь-те професіоналами а не займайтесь зомбо невіглаством
Контролювати і брати участь у створенні - велика різниця! Оприлюднено вже сотні документів, які підтверджують те, що з часів Сталіна РПЦ була не лише підконтрольна (і залишається) НКВД-КГБ-ФСБ, але і мала сприяння цих служб. Зокрема, ці нововиявллені документи також це підтверджують. Будьмо чесні, багато кому зараз хочеться це приховати. Зокрема, Вам. А невігласів продукують нинішні агенти ФСБ, які саме і намагаються приховати історичну правду епохи СССР.
