  • 2010 Philadelphia Deanery Report
    Philadelphia Deanery Report Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania Annual Assembly, 2010 I begin my second year as Dean of the Philadelphia Deanery with grateful thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon our Deanery. In my travels and visitations I have met with many Christ-loving people, both laity and clergy who all work for the glory of God’s Holy Church. Highlights this past year include, but are not limited to the following: We welcome our newest member of the Deanery, Fr. James Weremedic and Matushka Lisa who moved into the Rectory in Wilmington, DE, this fall. Fr. James replaces Fr. Andrew Anderson who is on a leave of absence. Fr. Andrew remains attached to St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Philadelphia during his leave. St. Michael’s Church in Wilmington, Delaware have put their faith in God by moving forward with the construction of a new Parish Hall. This work began under the direction of their former Rector, Fr. Andrew Anderson and continues under the competent leadership of Fr. James Weremedic. The finances for this undertaking are underwritten in a unique way by the Russian Brotherhood Organization, who secured over $500,000 at a very reasonable rate to the parish. It will be their continued faith in God that will bring them to the day when that mortgage will be burned. We pray for God’s blessing on their endeavor. A Blessing of the new hall was held on October 10, with His Beatitude, Metropolitan JONAH, and His Grace, Bishop TIKHON, along with the Rector Fr.

  • 'The True Orthodox Church of Russia
    'The True Orthodox Church of Russia VLADIMIR MOSS For the last 60 years or more, the existence of the True Orthodox Church has been one of the best-kept secrets of Soviet 'reality'. The 'True Orthodox', or 'Catacomb', or 'Tikhonite' Church claims to be the direct descendant of the Russian Orthodox Church as it existed before the revolution and in the first decade after the revolution under Patriarch Tikhon and his successor, the locum tenens of the patriarchal throne, Metropolitan Petr of Krutitsy. In 1927, however, the True Orthodox argue, power in the Russian Church was usurped by one of the senior hierarchs, Metropolitan Sergi of Nizhni Novgorod, who issued a declaration in which he thanked the Soviet state for its great services to Orthodoxy, declared that the Soviet state's joys were the church's joys and its sorrows the church's sorrows, and placed himself in more or less unconditional submission to the atheist state. This declaration was rejected not only by Metropolitan Petr, the lawful head of the Russian Orthodox Church (in prison at that time), but also by most of the senior bishops of the church and a large proportion of the faithful (90 per cent of the parishes in the Urals, for example). The schism thus created was vigQlously exploited and deepened by the KGB, who sent to the camps or shot any bishop or priest who did not accept the declaration of Metropolitan Sergi, and with the active support of Sergi, who denounced his opponents as 'counter-revolutionaries' - the equiva­ lent of a death sentence in those terrible times.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Stephanie Sandler Ainsley Elizabeth Morse Detki v kletke: The Childlike Aesthetic in Soviet Children’s Literature and Unofficial Poetry Abstract Since its inception in 1918, Soviet children’s literature was acclaimed as innovative and exciting, often in contrast to other official Soviet literary production. Indeed, avant-garde artists worked in this genre for the entire Soviet period, although they had fallen out of official favor by the 1930s. This dissertation explores the relationship between the childlike aesthetic as expressed in Soviet children’s literature, the early Russian avant-garde and later post-war unofficial poetry.

  • 19Th Presidium of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union March 5Th
    19th Presidium of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union March 5th, 1953 Honorable Comrades members of the Soviet Presidium, It is with the deepest regret that I announce you the death of our beloved Comrade and Leader Joseph Stalin. At the age of 74, our Comrade Stalin was found dead in the Kuntsevo Dacha after suffering a stroke. With his departure, our Union mourns for the loss of the greatest of our men, however we must act quickly and consistently as the governing body over the nation. We have several tasks that we must tackle to ensure the continuity of our great nation among which the most important one is establishing a legitimate successor that will consolidate the power of the Union and advance our principles throughout the globe. We must also organize the funeral for the farewell of our great compatriot and address the current situation of fear that our citizens live in. Remember, Stalin had his reasons for the spread of fear, however is upon you to decide the course of the Union’s domestic and foreign policy from this day on. Comrades, remember that history is for you to write in the next session of our Presidium. Best of luck, Dietwin Smoli Chairman of the Historical Crisis Committee Background of the Presidium: The Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the highest policy-making government authority of the Soviet Union. It was formally established in October 1917, and refounded in March 1919, at the 8th Congress of the Bolshevik Party. It was known as the Presidium from 1952 to 1966.

  • The Road to Afghanistan
    Introduction Hundreds of books—memoirs, histories, fiction, poetry, chronicles of military units, and journalistic essays—have been written about the Soviet war in Afghanistan. If the topic has not yet been entirely exhausted, it certainly has been very well documented. But what led up to the invasion? How was the decision to bring troops into Afghanistan made? What was the basis for the decision? Who opposed the intervention and who had the final word? And what kind of mystical country is this that lures, with an almost maniacal insistence, the most powerful world states into its snares? In the nineteenth and early twentieth century it was the British, in the 1980s it was the Soviet Union, and now America and its allies continue the legacy. Impoverished and incredibly backward Afghanistan, strange as it may seem, is not just a normal country. Due to its strategically important location in the center of Asia, the mountainous country has long been in the sights of more than its immediate neighbors. But woe to anyone who arrives there with weapon in hand, hoping for an easy gain—the barefoot and illiterate Afghans consistently bury the hopes of the strange foreign soldiers who arrive along with battalions of tanks and strategic bombers. To understand Afghanistan is to see into your own future. To comprehend what happened there, what happens there continually, is to avoid great tragedy. One of the critical moments in the modern history of Afghanistan is the period from April 27, 1978, when the “April Revolution” took place in Kabul and the leftist People’s Democratic Party seized control of the country, until December 27, 1979, when Soviet special forces, obeying their “international duty,” eliminated the ruling leader and installed 1 another leader of the same party in his place.

  • Putin's Last Term
    January 2019 Putin’s last term Taking the long view By Ian Bond and Igor Yurgens Putin’s last term: Taking the long view By Ian Bond and Igor Yurgens Vladimir Putin has dominated the Russian political scene since 1999. But he is now in what should be his final term as president. He faces economic, social and foreign policy problems; and he has to decide what will happen at the end of his term of office. The performance of the Russian economy in recent years has been mixed. Inflation has fallen, foreign reserves have risen and the ruble’s exchange rate is relatively stable; but growth has been anaemic and real disposable incomes have fallen. Putin has set ambitious economic targets for his final term, but is unlikely to achieve them. Russia is not investing enough in education to enable it to modernise and diversify the economy. The oil and gas sector is too dominant. Structural reforms (such as moving investment from the defence sector to other, more productive areas) are not on the cards. Russia has suffered from demographic problems since the Soviet period. With a shrinking working- age population and an increasing number of unhealthy pensioners, Russia risks stagnation, while countries like China leap ahead. Putin has yet to give any hint of his thinking about his successor. He could find a trusted individual to take over as president; change the Russian Constitution to allow himself to run again; or create a new position from which he could still exercise power. But if he stays in power too long, Russia could become like the late Soviet Union – a system unable to renew itself.
