Soon after the occupation of the house of the Moscow Patriarchate "Byurobin" granted to the employee Khashuri apartment in the wing, located in the courtyard of the mansion and used before a storage room. Soon Khashuri left on a business trip and came back from her in August 1944, told the Patriarch that he was assigned to work in the Estonian SSR, and therefore requires a family to take with him, but he occupied an apartment can take advantage of the patriarchate, that is not possessed in her someone an outsider.

The Communists and the Orthodox, unite!

January 1947

I was at the next reception at the Voroshilov in the Council of Ministers of the USSR. Before I could put comrade. Voroshilov questions prepared me for permission, KE in a conversation with me said their opinion about the importance of orthodoxy in terms of national and international.
site, site, site, site

"Your work - this is just the beginning. Great importance will be the Orthodox faith in the future. Abroad, in the sense of our influence is still very strong arm. " "In relation to other faiths, especially in relation to the Catholic Church, Orthodoxy has (and has been in the past) the progressive in the sense that it (Orthodoxy) is not meant to influence or to subjugate the secular (civilian) government. And more often than not interfere in the affairs of purely state like ours, and in the West. Until the time of Peter, or rather - KE corrected himself - until Ivan the Terrible hierarchy tried to command over the secular authorities, but later it all gradually moved away and now there can be no question. Yes, and in other countries is not clear that the Orthodox Church on this claim. Consider another, that the success of policies in many Slavic countries, depends on the fact that there prevails, or has a significant place in comparison with other religions Orthodox Church. It can be said with regard to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and even Romania.

I think that the attitude of Poland to us it would be easier and better if Poland is not dominated by the Catholic Church and the Orthodox. Another thing - other churches, especially Catholic. They are in first place policy, diplomacy and even more - they see their church as a state. And I must say that this pope, who considers himself governor Peter or Christ on earth, over the centuries have managed to capture a large part of humanity, that in this respect it a lot stronger than Hitler. Each had its strength and leverage, and if the Pope did not speak against Hitler, even though he had his accounts with the Catholic Church - because there were other reasons.

Catholicism - it is a force - repeated KE - I am not talking about their capital, their training, reaching to the frenzy of their organization with all kontragenatsiyami (? Kontragitatsiyami?), But take only one question - in that they make the man, professing their religion? It's more than slavery. In any country you will see this. I saw in Budapest, that people (monks) go as a mummy, and no more people do not think once about my father, and other laws do not recognize, but only coming from the Holy See. According to us, and to all democratic countries today, Catholicism - one of the worst enemies. And if so, then first of all is the enemy of the Orthodox Church, and not only her, and others.

I do not know well the Church of England, but I think that in the struggle against Catholicism, the Orthodox Church could be found, and with it a common language. Generally, if in this respect, the Orthodox Church as one of the implacable enemies of Catholicism, could be proactive, it could find a unit with the Lutherans, Evangelicals and others, originally blocking at least spiritually dad. In this regard, even the Baptists will support you, though, Baptists, these fanatics, I think I hate more than anyone, and they are not far removed from the Catholics. "
