1. on sources and “place in life”

„Sbrannoi Vojevode“ became known to me as part of the „hesperinos“/vespers – or evening-service in the Russian-orthodox chapel of Neuss at around 2007 and before. I however could evaluate, that this music normally is attached to the „feast of the Annunciation to the Theotokos / Bogorodize / Mother of God“ on 25th of March as „Kondak – Kontakion in the 8th tone“, which latter „tones“ may be compared with „-scales” in West-European music to a certain extent. We may guess: To sing every now and then “Sbrannoi Vojevode” in an evening-service was simply due to the fact, that our UKRANIAN conductor-lady of that years had a respective PERSONAL PREFERENCE for this “thriving music” ...

At that time we had single sheets – partly copies from handwritten manuscripts! - in musical quality whatever, which refugees had brought from years BEFORE 1990 and I remember, that “Sbrannoj Vojevode” was a photocopy of a PRINTED SOURCE with 3 VOICES only, which however in my “creative chaos” somehow got lost, but is to 90,5 % in the version BBWV 165.1 choir SAB, in which I made only very few changings in the BASSO.

Three voices we find normally in Bavarian “Drei-Gesang” and in the elder versions of the

1 “Pochaiv” in EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pochaiv 165.0 - Sbrannoi Vojevode – cover 2 2 of 37

“Salzburg Song – and Prayerbook” (say: around 1780-1820) – and we should assume, that 3 voices in especially Ukrainian surroundings may be as well a hint to the SIMPLICITY OF POPULAR CASUAL – and may be: “paraliturgical” - singing. But if we find a MUSICAL EXPERT like Allemanov writing settings for 3 voices, we indeed may take this as hint to his INTENTION, to somehow “purify” the singing-practise in sacred music of HIS time, such counterfighting the ITALIAN POLYPHONY of the Bortnjanski-style and / or the the “handling of as much as possible single voices” by (Alexander Tichonowich) Gretschaninow or the “infiltration” of musical usages stemming from the German PROTESTANT “hymns” (for use in church singing) into Russian Orthodox music-practise of Allemannov's times– not to speak of other IMPORTANT musicians influencing the overall “Orthodox music style” - not to speak of Rachmaninov and Tshaikovsky! - , musicians and composers, that eventually became estimated as “not Russian enough” and which I simply DO NOT KNOW myself, because I have not enough expertise in this field of learning. Somehow “concluding” it “therefor” MIGHT be reasonable to ASSUME, that Allemanov took a relativly “older melody” perhaps with some GREEK-BYZANTINE flavor and running more or less “melismatic”, so that West-European listeners at first may get the impression of “sometimes VAGUE tonal center”, which may be partly caused by ATTACHING THIRDS ONLY BELOW the “chosen melody” and attaching to that with some GENIUS a BASS-LINE. But to not overdo it: In THIS Allemanov-setting there is NOTHING coming even near the “old-fashioned” “(znamenny) RASPJEV”-music - “Знаменный Распьев»“2 , which was not Greek in origin, but from EARLY POPULAR SINGING of “Rus-people” themselves, adapted somehow at some point in time after Christening of the Rus at around 1000 AC under the “apostle-similar King Vladimyr of Kiev” into sacred music for use in church.

By the way: We will have later as DOCUMENT an example from ROCOR (Russian Church Abroad) in the U.S., in which someone added a “row of thirds”, but ABOVE the melody. To claim, that this should count as a solution to the sometimes demanding task within training of composition theory, to put the melody “in alto”, might be overdone. Because: In MY restricted of course experience putting thirds ABOVE a given melody produced only in ONE case “satisfactory results”, which was “Pod tvoju milost” (“sub tuum praesiduum”), BBWV 48. From my restricted experience we however would concede, that ADDING THIRDS and other intervals ABOVE a given melody may be understood as trial for some sort of “amplification”, which however in cases may tend to manieristic (or perhaps: fashionistically).

Allemanov by such techniques – of adding thirds BELOW a given melody - may indeed have met the OLDER POPULAR PRACTISE especially in UNEDUCATED RURAL surroundings of remote peasantry. I myself have seen printed “prayer-books” from GREEK-CATHOLIC origins from Ukrainia giving exactly that, which is a line of THIRDS mainly – to which as first step of musical development of course would be IMPROVISIZED

The reader from such observations easily may tend to assume, that those “rural surroundings” were “simple and POOR” in cases INDEED, sufficient musical knowledge sometimes restricted to the family-members of the priest only.

To have not spoiled the “thriving, near to military touch” in this music, I kindly may remind the user, that I wrote NOT 4/4-measures but “alla breve”, which latter is “counting in halfes” and can be conducted as such – and perhaps may be understood as “skilled choice” from musical methods, the musical professional Allemanov had knowledge and command of.

Otherwise I have to apologize, that my organ - and brass-settings are not in accordance with the AKRIBEIA of Orthodox CHURCH LAW, which is a vital source for Russian sacred music regulations, where we find everything except use of human voice strictly interdicted. We may find some sort of “forgiveness” PERHAPS, IF the principles of OIKONOMIA within this same Orthodox Church law applied – or not! It is however not here the proper occasion to repeat from my research3, that there are REAL DANGERS coming from a combination of TODAY ADVANCED “hyperphysics” as in books of P. Farrell for first time explained to the broader audience with today APPARATIVE MUSIC displayed in CHURCHES, may be PERHAPS, to “worship other Gods”, which might not have at heart the “common good” of this mankind, so that from other side the concerns of Orthodoxy for proper handling of music suddenly seem more reasonable. Which phrasing the words may indicate enough, that we precautionary may take into consideration possibilities, that on this planet MIGHT have dwelled SEVERAL mankinds – with different numbers of FINGERS of the hand for instance as in case of the ICA4-complex from Peru (hinting to times of DINOSAURS 50-60 million years ago, not to be mixed up with the “stone-map” on the Dashka-stone from Southern Ural hinting to - perhaps! - 120 million years ) – and other GROUPS of GODS, NOT stopping just with the URANIAN Gods of the GREEK mythology previous to the Gods of the Zeus-family and PERHAPS entertaining – say 10 – 3 million years ago? - a “cosmic war”5 within our planetary system, in which we should today assume possibilities for “weaponry based on music” for instance. At moment it seems additionally, that in Göbekli Tepe and in the

Denisova-complex (re-)appeared a “cosmic link” to the far away star-constellation of the “swan”6, which since eons is a circumpolar constellation. In other words: I would tend today, to rather better NOT assume, that those, that interfered with history of THIS mankind on THIS planet were AS scientifically restricted as our humankind! We will have some problems with the attached TEXT later, which by the ROCOR (Russian Church Abroad) in the U.S. normally has been given the incipit “To Thee, the Champion Leader”, which is a somewhat “practical approximation” of the ORIGINAL “Vojevode”, which we normally would place near the meaning of COMMON SLAVONIC (and Polish) “Woiwode”7, equivalent to “Воевода “ (reading: “Voevoda”) and “Войвода “ (reading: “Voivoda”) - which has a DOUBLE BASIC MEANING of “military leader” or “war-lord” and of “chief official” of an “administrative district”, be it in a or even in a province.

I may add last but not least: After 2000 we had the “visit of (a copy of) the icon “Potchaevskaja” in our Russian-orthodox chapel in Neuss, which I even met a second time in a Serbian-orthodox near Koblenz in the river Lahn-valley – and because of that I attached to this elaboration some pics and informations on this FAMOUS and MIGHTY icon of the Theotokos, which even is somehow correlated with the somewhat – STRANGE to “Westerners” - TEXT (in type of “kondak”) of the music presented here, because this text tries to explain or “express”, what in Orthodox understandings not even the “bodyless angels” could grasp, which is the MYSTERY of the INCARNATION of GOD into HUMAN FLESH, which was effectuated by SEVERAL WONDERS. ---xxx---

2. on D.V. Allemanov, 1864-1928

Information on Dmitry Vassiljevich Allemanov in the internet is until this moment in the beginning year of 2020 RARE and concentrated mainly in Russian-speaking internet. Because of this I implement here from the half-official “Pravoslavnaja Encyclopedia” of the Patriarchate of Moscow some bio-bibliographical informations, to which is added an automatical translation to English from google translate. From THESE sources it may become obvious, that we should expect a DRAMATICAL amount of REAPPEARING sacred music from 19th century Russia, provided the revisiting and reediting since the changings of 1990 after the socalled “collaps of the communist system” will be CONTINUED, such unearthing a VALUABLE TRESURE of MUSIC , mainly UNKNOWN outside Russia and nevertheless considered in my restricted understandings as PART OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THIS PLANET.

АЛЛЕМАНОВ Дмитрий Васильевич (22.10.1867, г. Бузулук Самарской губ., ныне Оренбургской обл.- 13.09.1928, Москва), свящ., композитор, исследователь церковного пения, педагог. Окончил Самарскую ДС. В 1883- 1895 гг. псаломщик Воскресенской ц. в г. Илецке (совр. Соль-Илецк), в 1895-1899 гг. регент архиерейского хора в Орле, в 1898- 1901 гг. псаломщик Введенской ц. в бывш. Новинском мон-ре в Москве. В 1900 г. получил аттестат регента 2-го разряда в Придворной певч. капелле. В 1901-1904 гг. жил в г. Мензелинске (Уфимской губ.), где принял священнический сан. С 1904 г. учитель пения в МДС и член причта ц. свт. Николая при семинарии, с 1909 г. член совета Общества любителей церковного пения в Москве (см. Общества церковно-певч.), в 1905- 1918 гг. член Наблюдательного совета при Синодальном уч-ще церковного пения, заведовал частными духовно-певч. хорами. В 1910- 1918 гг. преподаватель истории церковного пения в Синодальном уч-ще. В 1908-1918 гг. служил в ц. Похвалы Пресв. Богородицы в Башмакове в Москве. В 1925-1928 гг. член Союза драматических и муз. писателей (Драмосоюза). В 1912 г. подготовил план восстановления древнерус. церковного пения (собирание и изучение крюковых рукописей, греч. и визант. трактатов). А. был последователем теории Ю. К. Арнольда: отрицая попевочную теорию осмогласия, считал, что древнерус. распевщики свободно трактовали закономерности греч. ладов, по-своему их интонируя. По мнению А., специфика рус. интонационности отразилась в обиходном звукоряде. Стиль духовных сочинений и обработок А. не выходит за рамки общепринятых в церковном пении 2-й пол.

„Der siegreichen Herzogin als Siegespreis weihen dies Dankeslied vom Übel befreit wir, deine Diener, dir Gottesgebärerin. Bei dir ist Macht, unüberwindlich. So befrei' uns aus jeder Gefahr, auf daß wir dir rufen: Sei gegrüßt, unvermählte Braut!“

---xxx--- ultrashort commentary on text

It is absolutely necessary, to have for German-speaking people this German version of the text from Niederaltaich -Abbey, BECAUSE by the MYSTERIES of the INCARNATION of Jesus Christ as GOD and MAN into HUMAN FLESH happened NEW things NEVER SEEN BEFORE in known human history and therefor NOT EXPRESSED SO FAR into HUMAN LINGUISTICS. In other words: One of the MAJOR effects of Christianity on this planet was, that HUMAN LANGUAGES DEVELOPED NEW WAYS, PHRASES and WORDS, to - try to - EXPRESS, what by its very metaphysical nature AS SUCH CANNOT become expressed fully in just linguistics of just MORTAL HUMANS, but must be INDICATED “somehow” by application of NEW WAYS in LANGUAGE.

To these MYSTERIES and WONDERS refers for instance the STRANGE at first sounding phrase of a “unwedded bride”, in which is INDICATED the THREEFOLD wonder, that

St. Mary was “before, during and after” the nativity of Christ a virgin, for which in Orthodoxy normally is taken as source-text the socalled “Proto-Gospel of St. James” (“Proto-Evangelium des Jakobus”), which however in the WESTERN Christian churches led to HEAVY debates regarding its socalled AUTHENTICITY, which all for the needs of this MUSIC work may be summarized in very short to the following: BELIEVE IT – or not. And, please, do not take mistakenly a musical author as theologian! In other words: It MAY be, that the WESTERN socalled “Christian churches” have LOST the faith in this VERY SPECIAL virginity of St. Mary, which by the mercy of God however was not immediately punished as FUNDAMENTAL HERESY – so far! But IF the POSSIBILITY of STRANGENESS regarding human conception admitted, we suddenly would learn, that the STRANGENESS in human conception STARTED already with the MOTHER of St. Mary, which was St. Anna, who met with her husband St. Joachim at the “Golden Gate” of the temple of , where the PRIESTS had SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE and SPECIAL PROCEDURES regarding human conception, which however in case of this SPECIAL MEETING of the parents of St. Mary were SURPASSED by ANOTHER WONDER, the nature of which may have not been fully understood by those highly educated priests – and cannot become understood by us today!

With the kindly permission of the audience, I rather would like to NOT bother with all such MYSTERIES, but concentrate on the MUSICAL work, which, by the way normally is considered of such difficulty degree, that only VERY FEW are engaged in music writing as such, say in Germany at moment at maximum perhaps 1000 registered people – NOT more out of a total population of something between 81 – 82 million in Germany!

So in the end, we might be “left behind” in a certain sense, WONDERING WHY in good heavens name the birth of the CLAIMED “savior of mankind” Jesus Christ was PUT INTO TEXTS using linguistics of “urge for fighting” and “necessity for victory”, to gain a SPECIAL SORT of “salvation”, that CLAIMS some differences to “Buddhist liberation”, to Hindu “moksha” and all-Asian “freedom from necessit of reincarnation and rebirth”.

From the musical point of view we nevertheless perhaps would welcome a “thriving piece”, that gets and holds AWAKE the listeners because of its “drive”!

---xxx--- 4. on settings

Main training task was: a) better understanding of the possibilities within a 3-voices-setting, b) “filling up” a given setting to the “4-voices-standard” of the West-European music- history. And frankly: I simply implemented “Victor's bass-line” and made few changes – without touching the melody itself – to get the 4-voices-setting “functioning” …. Otherwise, I would be in heavy need of “oikonomia” of the Orthodox church law, which latter will exclude, that my organ – and brass-settings will see performance in any more strict “Eastern Orthodox” surroundings whatever!

7. Pochaiv / Pochayiv / Potshaev / Potschajiv / “(Ukrainian: Почаїв, also Pochayev, Russian: Почаев, Serbian: Почајев, Polish: Poczajów, Pochayuv)” 20 פוצ'אעיוב :romanized: Potshayev, Hebrew ,פָאשטשאעיעװ :Yiddish

In the case of Pochaiv / Почаев / Почаїв the lots of spellings do not indicate, as perhaps would be expected, “international connections”, but several CONFLICTS – which however are not the subject of this essay!

With regard to MUSIC we may but concede, that the Pochaiv-LAVRA (monastery and cloister) had “some impact” as “printing place” (since around 1650 and founded by St. of Pochaiv) - the OLD printing machines of Pochaiv said to have been 1924 (other meaning 1944) transferred “somehow” to Jordanville, NY today!21 - and in MUSIC, which are – so to say – a “Pochaiv music – and singing STYLE”, which seems to be somehow “embedded” into an “Ukrainian musical influence”, which latter we had for instance in a certain time window – say 1980 – 2010 - in the Russian-Orthodox Chapel under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Moscow in Neuss, Germany., which is hosting additionally until today a “community” of the “ROCOR” (Russian Church Abroad), in which we find the emigrants from Russia as far back as from the 1917 Communist-Bolsheviki revolution, with slightly OTHER music style.

We may say: People “feeling” UKRAINIAN bonds more often may show preferences for “Sbrannoi Vojevode” MUSIC and for the Pochaiv – Lavra (and perhaps for Ukrainian Easter- eggs!), which may not be misunderstood as socalled CAUSAL connections! We may continue considering, that if a connections seems not causal, it may be ACAUSAL and if acausal perhaps “synchron” in the sense of the famous THESIS on “synchronicity”22 by Carl Gustav Jung, which however cannot please really the engineer seeking for EXACT as possible REASONS, because there simply there are not such! In my own case, there MAY be links to Ukrainia from family history, which however so far are not backed by ANY documentary proof – thanks to NAZIS and perhaps Communists and Sowjets. And in the end, we may left behind ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS, HOW it could be, that I could help in the singing of liturgy in a Russian Chapel with a certain accent on Ukrainian music –

20 “Pochaiv” in Wikipedia EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pochaiv 21 We read from “Pochayiv Lavra” Wikipedia EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pochayiv_Lavra#St_Job_of_Pochayiv : “ The press continued to function until 1924, when it was taken first to , then to , and then, in 1946, to the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York.” - other meaning: “During the Russian Civil War, the renowned printing press of Pochaev was moved in 1923 by a group of the to safety at the new Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev in Ladomirova, Czechoslovakia. Here the press remained and was used by the brotherhood until 1944, when the monastic Brotherhood of St. Job moved it again, ultimately in 1946 to the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York to escape the advancing Soviet army.” in: “Pochaev Lavra of the Dormition of the Theotokos” in OrthodoxWiki EN URL https://orthodoxwiki.org/Pochaev_Lavra_of_the_Dormition_of_the_Theotokos 22 See “Synchronicitzy” in Wikipedia EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity 165.0 - Sbrannoi Vojevode – cover 2 16 of 37 and in such convincing manner, that people adressed me in Russian, of which I have not the slightest command! But because we are not in ASIA, where we have the concept of REINCARNATION and REBIRHT, we cannot go into more details here, because especially in Orthodoxy they are VERY touchy especially regarding this subject! We may close here in conceding: This my singing in Russian Orthodox liturgy is – respectively was - not the only RIDDLE and AMAZEMENT in my life! Otherwise we perhaps should be prepared to GROW UP to the possibility, that there are MORE connections on this planet, than most people would find acceptable – or bearable. People for instance normally may become shocked, if learning, that TODAY Tibeteans are SEARCHING for connections with the Tripolje- / Trypolje- / Tripillia-culture near Kiev, which MAY go back in time PERHAPS 20.000 years and even be “somehow interwoven” with another RIDDLE of history, which is the GEOLOCATION of what since SUMERIAN times is called “Aratta” , which is sounding so much near to “Harappa”. And in the end I kindly may hint to the fact, that I tend to withdraw from foreign or other relations, if those turning to too much inconveniences or stress – or even dangerous – which however says nothing about sympathy or not!

Secondly foreigners may not be aware because of the news-selection politics of non-Ukrainian and non-religious MEDIA, that due to the socalled “Ukrainian crisis” of TODAY – 2020 and before - there are and have been LOTS of GREAT “pilgrimages” in Ukrainia – and people in Western Europe hardly would believe the pictures from Pochaiv, showing THOUSANDS of people flocking at the Pochaiv - Lavra very probably literally outnumbering the approx. 7000- 8000 inhabitants of the nearby small town! This NON-AWWARENESS however is nothing to become concerned about, because we have a GENERAL unawareness regarding “marching with religious motivations people”, as for instance in case of the 4 KUMBH MELAS23 in India ( at Allahabad, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik), where the ALLAHABAD Kumbh Mela is said, to attract in single events – such as New Years Eve - more than 20 MILLION people and as “pilgrimage-campaign” within 2 months or so up to 70 (- 75) Million – and for RELIGIOUS reasons so. Imagine: 70 Million people “wandering lavishly around” for 2 month working NOTHING and earning NOTHING, but spoiling their savings! Such STRANGE behavior in Europe would really UPSET not only the employers from great industries, but the UNIONS as well! Because, as Greta Thunberg from the campaign “Fridays for futures” perhaps would say: “HOW DARE THEY?!

This settled we now may try to put in orderly succession the main events from history forming eventually the “evolutionary process of the Pochaiv-complex”.

pics: Pochaiv-Lawra, first layer of origins: the appearance of “Our Lady of Pochaiv” and her foot-mark left behind, filling with water

It seems, that we at first had “2-3 monks” claimed from the Kiew-Lawra – it is not quite clear, whether “wandering or runaway or fleeing from the Mongols24” monks of whatever sort -, that had in MEDIEVAL ages, say PERHAPS something between 1200 – 1300 or perhaps something between 1240 (Mongols in Kiev) and 1241 (Mongols in Esztergom and Legnica) – which is very near the meaning of the GERMAN Wikipedia on “Marä- Entschlafens-Kloster (Potschayiw)”, where we reed indeed: “Das Kloster soll laut der Überlieferung 1240 gegründet worden sein, als Mönche des Kiewer Höhlenklosters vor den heranziehenden Tataren nach Westen flohen.”25 - , an “apparition” of something like a “Mother-of -God within a corona of FLAMES from something similar to FIRE” on the 50-

60 meters small hill of Pochaiv, where now is the Lavra and monastery. This was not only a RARE type of apparition in history of iconography, but the “apparition” left behind some “mark for memory”, which is a MIRACULOUS “footprint in stone” of said apparition. Whether a REAL “footprint” or just a “small deepening” in the stone, whether water from rain or from a well-source, that suddenly came into existence, this WATER until today is believed to be “healing water” and therefor MIRACLEWORKING – and may eventually come along ready for use - BOTTLED. But this “” may not be mixed up with the “Holy Water” of the “St. Anna well” in Pochaiv, which has such a lot of water, that people are bathing within that. We as shy as possible may add: The motif of the “devil' s foot” and the complex of “sign in stone”, AS IF THE STONE “behaved” similar to wax and suddenly became “formative without application of other means”, is really WIDE spread – and therefor may be found combined with quite a lot of “oral traditions”, to have some sort of “explanation for the inexplicable”!

pics: St..Anna well of Pochaiv (used for healing bathing-cures) plus example of “bottled holy water”, which is a COMMON OFFERING ELSEWHERE to pilgrims as some sort of “souvenir”

The second layer of the historical evolving Pochaiv - complex may be considered the appearance of St. Job of Pochaiv26 (German: Hl. Hiob von Potchaev), perhaps (1551)-1651 who seemingly renewed the more discipline directed aspects of community-life suited for “directing males” to favorable personal development combined with creating benefits for the broader society. This same St. Job /Yob of Pochaiv was granted by a certain – landowner and lady from nobility - Mrs. Anna Gogskaja (or: Hanna Hoyska – or: “Anna Gojskaja”27 - or: “A. Hoiska”28) - in 1597 the icon, which today is known as the ICON OF OUR LADY OF POCHAIV. Now we would like to get to know, from WHOM Mrs. Anna Gojskaja of whatever name- spelling, got the icon, she later gave to St. Job of Pochaiv, AFTER – as is told – a relative of her was cured from blindness by this icon.

26 See “Job of Pochajiv” in Wikipedia EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_of_Pochayiv 27 Vgl.

We read for instance: “Anna had received the sacred image from the Greek metropolitan Neophyte... “29 We read secondly: “This image, traditionally known as Our Lady of Pochayiv, was given to Hojska by a passer-by Bulgarian bishop, and helped to cure her brother from blindness.“30 We read again: “Das berühmteste Heiligtum des Potschajewer Himmelfahrtsklosters ist die wundertätige Ikone der Heiligen Gottesmutter Maria, welche der Konstantinopoler Metropolit Neofit auf einer Pilgerreise im 16. Jahrhundert in Wolhynien verschenkte und vor der sagenhafte Wunder und Zeichen geschahen.” 31 Before offering an educated guess, we may have a look at the CORE of WHAT EXACTLY the “icon of our Lady of Potchaiv” is – and find some – relatively small - “pic on paper” as is shown below on the right!

pics: The Icon “Our Lady of Pochaiv”, a) with ornament-shield (granted on intervention of a Prince Potocki by Pope Clement XIV, Roman Pope 1769-1774) , b) the RATHER SMALL “original picture”32

Now the first thing, to learn is, that this paper-pic is showing a SPECIAL TYPE of GREEK ICON, I don't know exactly whether the Greek type “Eleousa” or “Glycophilousa”, which are both rather similar, and both with the Jesus-boy on the RIGHT side of the Theotokos.

pic left: Icon “Our Lady of the Don”, by Feofan / Theophanes, the Greek – cleary in style and type of the GREEK icon “Glykophilousa”33 (“sweet kissing”) or “Eleousa”34 (“sweet caressing”) - pic right: original “Glycophylousa” in Philotheou-monastery (“Moni Filotheou”) on Mt. Athos – please note: the “Jesus-child” is on RIGHT side and arm of the Theotokos!

The second thing, to learn, is, that in the “list of Partriarchs of Konstantinople”35 in German Wikipedia is a) NOT A SINGLE “Neophyt” or “Neofit” and especially NOT in b) the 16th century.

The third thing however is, that we can trace 3 examples of a personal name “Neofit” in : a) Neofit Rilski36 (from the famous RILA-monastery, 1793-1881) b) Neofit Bosweli37, 1785-1848, priestmonk and writer, born in Bulgaria, died in Chilandar- Monastery on Mt. Athos (which is the monastery of the Serbians – and NOT the monastery of the Bulgars with name “Zografou”38) c) Neofit (of Bulgaria)39, *1945, elected of Bulgaria since 2013

After this checking and sorting the sources, we as cautious as possible may form the following NEW ASSUMPTION in type of “educated guess”: In1597, as the Icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv came to Potchaiv monastery, then under /

Igumen St Job of Pochaiv, BULGARIA was under OSMAN rule, meaning suppression if not persecution for the FEW Christians, that had survived the Osman conquest. So to say: Christians in THAT time in Bulgaria were near to a wonder in itself! This GENERAL DIFFICULT situation for Christians in Bulgaria at around 1592 MAY deliver a GENERAL MOTIVATION, WHY a bishop and metropolite MIGHT have traveled Wolhynia, we don't now whether to ESCAPE Osman-Turkish rule or – as may be indicated by distributing small “papers with religious pics” for MEMORATING a visit of a bishop – as today in Western countries small papers with religious pics are given to to the people to remember the EASTER-day or the first communion of the children etc. pp. - perhaps collecting money and supplies for his very probably rather poor diocese in Bulgaria. NOW, IF SO, if THIS RATIONALIZING correct and perhaps even near to the historical TRUTH, we may COMPARE these aspects around the Pochaiv-ICON with the foundation of the KEVELAER40 pilgrimage at the Rhine, near the Dutch border, since 1642, where we have as CENTER OF DEVOTION a SMALL and “not elaborated” copy-print on paper in black and white of the St. Mary-icontype of “Our Lady of Luxemburg”, which is more than 300 years – and a matter of NON-concern to anybody!

With this we have reached the THIRD layer within the Pochaiv complex, which is the SIEGE OF 1675 by OSMAN-TURKISH troops, which abruptly was STOPPED -as is told – by the – second - APPEARENCE of the THEOTOKOS accompanied by St. Job of Pochaiv, which resulted not only in the Osman troops running in despair, but – as is told – caused LOTS of MUSULMANS and -believers to CONVERSE TO CHRISTIAN FAITH, which seems such a RARE event, that it is remembered until today! We have to add in 2020, when the UNBELIEVABLE really happened, and the Erdogan- “out of the blue” really did it and sent troops to LIBYA: If Turkey intervened diplomatically already in the case of the Krim-Tartars, would this mean, that Turkey will REITERATE CLAIMS on POCHAIV or any other geographical point, the OSMANS in former centuries fought for? If so, we might feel an urge, to have geographical coordinates of Pochaiv, which are: Latitude 50°0′10″N and Longitude 25°30′35″E, which might rise insofar concerns as Prag and , Main /Germany are nearly on the SAME LATITUDE. Dont believe me and check it: Frankfurt geographical coordinates are in the web with LATITUDE 50.1109221N and LONGITUDE 8.6821267 E (of Greenwich).

As FOURTH layer we find in the Pochaiv-complex the affair and WONDER of the POLISH Magnate Prince “Nicholas Potocki” - this name spelling not sufficient for research! - , who gave order for the construction of the DORMITION- (of the Theotokos)- Cathedral on the Pochaiv hill, which was built 1771-1783, but out of a STRANGE reason: this Prince Potocki fired three times in anger a pistol against a fellow kinsman and FAILED

THREE TIMES, to kill him with this method! This caused such a profound shock to the Prince, that he became a great fan of Pochaiv – and indeed was buried there in the Dormition-Cathedreal, which was built on his orders!! - , which from the military view is quite reasonable, because: Please consider, what it really might mean, if the use of pistols by HEAVENLY INTERVENTION suddenly would make USELESS all the nice to look at troops on parade? The Potocki-family rooted from the “Pilawa-clan”41 - fighting the old PAGAN “Prussian tribes” - and INDEED had several remarkable members, which all are in the history books, so that it really would be nice, to get to know, which Potocki EXACTLY the sources regarding Pochaiv are speaking of – and we read: “After 1720, when the monastery was given to Greek Catholic Basilian monks. The process was reversed due to a seemingly miraculous occurrence. In 1759, a coach of Count Mikołaj Bazyli Potocki capsized near the monastery walls. In a fit of anger, Potocki fired at his driver three times, all without avail. Attributing this failure to the divine intercession, Potocki settled in Pochayiv and started to lavish gifts upon the cloister. In 1773, Potocki (who was originally a Roman Catholic, and later became Greco-Catholic) petitioned the Pope to recognize the Pochayiv icon as miraculous and St Job as a Catholic . Only the former petition was accepted. Upon Potocki's death in 1782, he was interred at the Assumption Cathedral whose construction he had subsidized “42 We learn here, that this Prince (Nikolai)/ Mykola Bazyli Potocki43 was POLISH and CATHOLIC and eventually became GREEK-CATHOLIC (according to the socalled “”44-(Litowsk), 1595/96 – Polish: Brześć Litewski – not to be mixed up with “Brześć Kujawski “45 in Poland – or any other of the long list of places in Serbia, Bulgaria, , Tshechia, Slovenia, and even Germany with the “place-name” BREST46 ) We may go as far, as to state, that it seems for other historical questions necessary, to have a special chapter on the changing of religious jurisdiction in Pochaiv from the original “Russian Orthodox” to the “Greek-Catholic” denomination under the Pope of 1717 – 1835 , which might not be mixed up with TODAY quarrels among all the suddenly appearing “Ukrainian Orthodox” denominations, that TODAY along with the TODAY “Ukrainian crisis” suddenly have emerged, making everything even more complicated than in former centuries under the Russian Tsars and under the Emperors of Austria-Hungary!

What is missing here, to make us really happy, might be considered, something similar to a “passphoto from the identity card” - and, well, here it is:

I may hint to a FIFTH layer within the Pochaiv-complex, because on my wall at home is for some odd reasons a poster showing 4 venerable, if not “holy” monks from Pochayiv, which are: - Venerable Archimandrit Methodius48 of Pochaev, claimed eyewitness of the apparition of the Theotokos in Mongol times, which is 1240 ante quem non, as evaluated above; - St. Job (Hiob) of Pochayiv49, (1551) – 1615, inccorrupted known since the 17th century; - St. Amphilochios (Amphilochius - Amfilohije) of Pochayiv50, 1894 – 1971, canonosized 2012, a learned medical doctor and in a military field doctor, (with incorrupted remains?); - St. Theodosius (Theodor?) “kn. Ostrosch ...”, which obviously needs some research … especially if someone not born Ukrainian nor experienced in history of Orthodox countries!

To make it short, we jump in case of the riddle of someone “Theodosius … Ostrosch...” to the ONE PROBABLE solution, which is, that we should apply a RUSSIAN – RUTHENIAN spelling to that, which would be “ Ostrozhsky “, from which we may reach the POLISH spelling of “Ostrogski”, which is a well known noble family, so that we in the end might search for a “Feodor Ostrogski”55 (1360-1446 in the meaning of Wikipedia) , which INDEED is in the history books!

We however should not become overly surprised, if SOME people – especially foreigners! - nevertheless have listed a “Theodor of OSTROG”, which ”Ostrog”59 is a PLACE in Serbia and even a famous monastery of the province of housing the famous “Vassile of Ostrog” (other spelling: Vasilije Ostroski”60 (pronaunce: Ostroshki) from the Serbian “Василије Острошки”61 ) - a “Basil”62 and NOT a “Theodor” / “Feodor” or Bulgarian “Fodor”! - , which Ostrog monastery even saw a GESTAPO raid of NAZIS searching for the last King of Jugoslavia, Peter II Karadordevich, and the Partriarch Gawrilo of Serbia during Second Wolrd War.

Now we might got the impression, that we REALLY learned “something”, which is in very short: Yes, there is a Feodor Ostrogski / Ostrozhsky, that may be pronounced “Ostroshki”, that changed from NOBLE PRINCE – with really impressive WILD LIFE including perhaps engagement against the Ordo Teutonicus or the German Knights in the “Battle of Grundwald”63 or “Schlacht bei Tannenberg (1410)”64 ! - to MONK “Theodor” (may be “Theodosios”) and died “near to 1483” (or rather 1446?) in the KIEV LAVRA, which is contradicting telling a life-time of 1360-1446 – and really should NOT be mixed up with the two famous Fathers of the Kiev Lavra “Anthoni65 and Feodossi66” at around 1000 AC.

All these details more or less settled, we suddenly may remember, WHY we started this RAID, which was, that I wanted to know, why on my poster from Pochaiv, that on strange ways reached me, are shown and designated with their names FOUR monks, in numbers: “4”!

Our RESULT such would be DESASTROUS: I could not find out, WHAT the monk Theodossi Ostroshki (Ostrozhsky) has to do with Pochaev in such extraordenary manner, that he was depicted and printed on my poster from Pochaev! We simply may “guess as intelligently as possible”, that Prince Feodor Ostrogski acted not only as maezenas for the Kiew Lavra, which is in the history books, but as well for the Pochaev monastery in some ways, which I simply could not find out, because of lack in my language training!

And THIS, folks, we really call “true science”! Who has laughed over there?!

But before anybody gets the impression, that “everything is clear” by now, I may hint to the POSSIBILITY only, that there is someone called “blessed Peter of Pochaev, fool for Christ”67, which would refer to - Russian “Jurodiwy (юроодивый)”68 - Greek “Salo” - (“ο (δια τον Χριστόν) Σαλός”)69 - German “Narren in Christo”70 - English “fool for Christ”71

Now, if we wonder, that “real saints” may have escaped registration in the Church-books, I may add, that I accidentally indeed recently came across a saint, who was born in Ukrainia, was captured by the Osmans to work in their horse-stables – and somehow by this profession acquired the “smell of sanctity” afterwards became a martyr, got known in

It perhaps should be added, that it seems, that somewhere in Moscow is a church of St. John the Russian from Ukrainia, who lived in Turkey to become saint in ! I of course would admit, that this is really sideway to our main subject here, but may kindly hint, that we nevertheless LEARN SOMETHING, which is, that I have the WRONG SMELL, because where I learned farming, we only had cows and pigs, and nothing such noble like horses! We secondly seem to learn, that there are some people from Ukrainia not aware of St. John the Russian – who is in the records nevertheless, which everybody might access – provided he knows the proper keywords in proper languages!

We now approach as SIXTH layer in the Pochaev – complex a level, which covers such unpleasent political implications, that people from the East probably would prefer, to introduce the use of “trudno”, which is understood nearly everywhere in Eastern Europe and may be translated to “diplomatic difficult” or “rather to be avoided topic”. With the kindly permission of the audience I therefor may stick here especially meticulous to something strange from the CODEX FOR NOBILITY of 18th century and restricted to the “perfect Gentleman”, which once was called “desinvoltura”, something near in English language perhaps to “disengagement”, which means, that I in VERY short list 2 or 4 related facts from history, whithout commenting them too much!

- We may start with the following information, reading: “In 1712, the Russian Tsar visited the monastery several times together with Feofan Prokopovich (the reformer of the ). … From 1713 to 1832, Pochaev monastery was a Greek-Catholic monastery. In 1730, Pochaev printing-house was opened, 187 books were published.”80 Here we have 2 things: a) The great energy for REFORMS coming from Tsar Peter, the Great, included a strong interest in affairs of the Church, which in Russia until today shows the characteristics from the historical paradigma of socalled “State-Church”, which indicates, that the relation between State and Church is NOT balanced or on “equal feet”, but the State tending to predominance. To which LUTHERIAN historians perhaps would answer: Very well, IF such an unbalanced predominance of a Church-THEOCRACY AVOIDED. The quotation tells furtheron, that Tsar Peter had besides him a REFORMER coming from inside the Church itself, which was “Feofan Prokopovich”81 (1681-1736) and which may be looked up in any encyclopedia - because we must get finished here. It is nearly self evident, that REFORMERS would need something to SPREAD their new ideas, and such we do NOT wonder, that Peter and Feofan visited POCHAEV, because there was since 16th century a fully equipped PRESS and PUBLISHING HOUSE, even unprecedented near and far, which means: near to SINGULAR!

- If we now jump into 19th century, we have the historical observation, that something in Pochaev is MISSING, for what the monastery Optina-Pustyn82 (pronounce: “Pushtyn”) became really prominent and famous for, which is “Старчество”83 (“starzestvo”), derived from “Starez”84 = “elder”, which was known from Greek already as “Gerontas” / “Gerontoi”, but got starting in Optina ,so to say, a new “flavor” or “touch”. But if we check the “Liste der Starzen”85 in German Wikipedia, we will not find any famous “старец” / “Starez” coming from Pochaev, if one single at all – IF not we would go as far, as

Now, what exactly might mean “Starez” AFTER the twist in development starting in Optina-(Pustyn)?

pic: the “gerontoi” / “starcestvo” of the monastery Optina-Pustyn

Well, if we go back to GREEK origins of Russian , we would find especially on Mt. Athos, that the “elders” or “Gerontoi” are a special type of “FATHERS”, which are TRAINED and EXPERIENCED MONKS, which may have developed “miracoulous” abilities, as for instance “knowledge of the soul” (of others, not only the own!), “knowledge of future”, “knowledge of healing” and other abilities, which in today categorization of sciences would be called “parapsychological”. We may perhaps say: If the “starez” understood as “spiritual father” giving GUIDANCE, such approach may claim roots in the writings of Apostle Paul, which latter however may refer to mysteries of the Christian faith, I do not feel inclined to deal with here – see for instance New Testament / Gospel, St. Paul, 2 Cor. 3,3. It is however quite obvious in which directions “spiritual parenting” may deviate and decline, which are mainly GERONTOCRACY, MANIPULATION and LACK OF INDEPENDCE, so to say, never getting ADULT really and therefor tending to fixation of behavior from puberty, if not childhood and infancy, resulting all in all in some sort of “self- deception” by “two-way manipulation”, sometimes more harmless as in case of really old married couples, sometimes however not really favorable! To have it short here, I may add some hints for further reading86, which perhaps may include some little surprises.

We perhaps should add here: Even if it is historical true, that Dostojewskij visited not only Optina-Pushtyn, but took the “Starez Amwrossi” of Optina of his times as template for his fictional character “Starez Sossima” in his novel “The Brothers Karamasow”87, we should stay CLEAR, that Dostojewski had NEVER in mind, to give a full coverage of the HISTORY OF GERONTOI throughout the history of monasticism around the great monastic centers in Greece (Athos), Serbia (Ochrid) , Bulgaria (Rila), Russia (Sergeij Possad, the Lavras in Pskow, Kiev, Pochaev and others) and even Ethiopia (region of town Gonder / Gonda with said 300 or so , organized similar to Mt. Athos “monastic republic”, which latter, by the way, may have had HELP FROM ROMAN-CATHOLIC monastic orders in the times of the formation of the Athos, say until around 1000 AC)! So it is seldom mentioned, we perhaps should hint, that it might be, that there is SOMETHING to be learned on the special Russian flavor within the complex of “fool for Christ” / “Jurodowi”, if reading again Leskow's88 short story on “Pamphalon the Mountebank (1887)” - (German Der Gaukler Pamphalon89) - even if showing some – camouflaged - critical, if not satirical views on the Tsarist Orthodox State-Church. And we finally may give in, as said before: IF we seek SOMEONE in the history of Pochaev monastery coming near the Optina-type of “Starez”, our choice would be St. Amphilochius, who is however from 20th century mainly and a trained medical professional. We may state: This observation we have in the Western Christianity as well, which is a TENDENCY to have implemented TODAY some knowledge from psychology, psychiatry and neurology into the “working methods” of TODAY priests whatever “religious”. This however is not the right place, to evaluate the DIFFERENCES between “worldly scientific and cleverly” psychiatrists, who by today state system are given a LOT OF POWER, may be in

As said before: We today have more than ever the problem to see a CLEAR line between just “wordly clever tricks” as offered by today socalled “progress in science” - which tomorrow already may turn out FALSE! - and the INTERFERENCE truly COMING FROM THE true LEVEL OF GOD, which among humans more often may rise subconscious and irrational “metaphysical” FEAR of some sort, which may HINDER especially “modern man”, as socialized in Western European contexts, to give in, what is explained in the VERY FEW pages of the Aristotelian “proofs for the existence for God”, which is , that INDEED there IS some GOD on the level of “creator of Cosmos” – especially a GOD ABOVE all CLEVERLY SCHEMING of MORTAL humans. We are not joking here and may hint for further study to the today nearly overlooked elaboration of Henri Lubac91 “on cognition of God”, which insofar might reflect Aristotle correctly, as it is condensed to a small booklet and considerably SHORT as well, even if not using the today “formal logics”! But given in: Last but not least we have to mention here, that searching for the wisdom of Elders among TODAY Kremlin officials and VIP's seems to be rather prominent again, and again somehow connected with Optina – Pushtyn, even if foreigners hardly will believe this!92 (And please: Don't give up SCRUTINY with means of SCEPTICAL RATIONALISM, so not by accident leaving REASONABLE HANDLING of MEANINGS and REPORTS! Lots of Westerners for instance, seem not really to understand, that Putin93 is on record stating, that Communism was some “primitive excerpt” from New Testament and that “political rituals” of the Communist party “borrowed somehow” from Christian traditions – which indeed seems backed by solid analysis of solid research – to which however precautiously may be added the second possibility, that Communism was not only some sort of “defective Christian utopy”, but may be some sort of “defective utopy from JUDAISM” as well, especially if we contemplate the JEWISH roots of Karl Marx himself and the JEWISH – and Ukrainian Jewish - roots of the LOTS, that engaged in the Bolshewiki Communist-Socialist revolution of 1917! If I understand this Putin-argument correctly, we perhaps might go as far as to put the thesis, that SIMILARY in PHENOMENOLOGY may not mean simultaneously PERFECT UNDERSTANDINGS of the IMMANENT characteristics of those similar parts, coming from their ORIGINAL ROOTS and MEANINGS, which seem to have been misread such severely, so that great parts of mankind were subdued to DEFECTIVE “theories if not utopies of well-being” causing MILLIONS of dead … In other words: People did NOT listen to Orthodox “elders” and “gerontoi”, did NOT listen to Chassidic REBBES – and, so to say, choosed

- We make another JUMP to END of 19th century Russia, to stumble upon something not enough in the focus of most observers of history: May be because Pochaev was a publishing center with printing machinery or not, but we have to admit, that Pochaev at some time became connected with the “black hundreds” 94 - Чёрная сотня / Tschornaja sotnja – “movement of the Black hundreds” / Черносотенцы (“tshernosotence”- and affiliated with “Union of the Russian People”95 / “Союз русского народа” and other “prefashistoid” organizations (as detailed in Wikipedia EN “Black Hundreds”96) , which had a lot of sympatizers especially among the clergy of the Church in the last decennia of Tsarist rule. We may concede, that in a State-Church-system a contamination with politics within the Church may be inevitable to a certain degree, but we cannot just skip the “BLACK THINGS” they REALLY DID in the “black hundreds”, which the trained left-wing revolutionary probably would call “FASHISTOID”, which however in APPEARENCE and PHENEMENOLOGY may not such heavy differ PRINCIPIALLY from the BLOODY EXCESSES, for which especially the GREAT RUSSIAN BOLSHEWIK-SOCIALIST- COMMUIST REVOLUTION of 1917 has become known for as TERRIBLE EXAMPLE for ALL HISTORY! It may be considered sufficient here, to have a short quotation on the HISTORICAL link between Pochaev and the “Black hundreds”, as follows. Start of quotation:

8. Finals

Now, WHAT TO LEARN from this preface elaboration?

Well, there are a LOT of people EVERYWHERE, trying to brew the BULLSHIT of 19th century AGAIN – for DARK and SINISTER objectives and EGOCENTRISMS whatever, so that we are not overly impressed, to find a NEW anti-semitism, a NEO -nationalism and even NEO-NAZISM in Easteuropean countries after the socalled “breakdown” of Communism in Russia of 1990 – perhaps - who knows for certain? - even the US-American KU-KLUX-KLAN98 trying to open a branch in Russia – as said before: PERHAPS! - , as he did already in Germany, how farfetched this seems at first!

I may add especially regarding the new antisemitism in Poland and Ukrainia, which is sometimes combined with explicit neo-Nazism: We cannot erase from the registers of world heritage of this mankind the contributions of especially the Chassiduth and the Chassidim of what today is Poland, Lithuania and Ukrainia, - the Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav in Podolia, - the Rebbe Israel ben Eleazer, called Baal Schem Tow of Podolia, - the Rebbes of Beltz (near Rawaruskaja, where my mother – Maria Buike, * 2.Aug.1920, Blankenburg/Uckermark - claimed – without documentary proof so far - to have been after release from NAZI-KZ in Tchechia, something between 1945 – 1952), - the Vilnius Gaon, Rebbe Elija ben Salomon - the Lubliner, Jaakow Jizchak Horowitz, - the “Maggid”, Dow Baer of Mesritsch of Wolhynia, today Ukrainia. We cannot erase those Chassidim literate men of sanctity and wisdom and – God beware – list instead all the other socalled “Jews”, that became eventually involved in the Bolshewiki Communist-Socialist revolution of 1917, as for instance a certain Lew Davidovich Bronstein, who later was called Leo Trotzki and MANY others! And if we do not find ANYTHING from especially the GERMAN NAZISM in the registers of world heritage of mankind, this has the simple reason,, that there is not ANYTHING REMAKABLE, the NAZIS contributed to history of mankind out of OWN GENIUS! (In which is the assumptions, that NAZISM may have been PARASITIC from the roots!)

It however should and can be DISTINGUESHED from the old proverbial saying, that LOVE and HATRED enable, to TRULY SEE, what is going on in CONFIRMED REALITY, which in the end may NOT resemble a black-and-white picture, but a vast scale of GRAY within an “ocean of ambiguity”, as the Berezhnaya quotation above phrased the words.

So if we find recently in the news a quotation from President Putin, that “all journalists” should be counted as “potential spies”, which would imply, that “all foreigners to a country are potential spies” - as for instance the ESTIMATED 2 million (don't believe it, check it here99) “post-Soviet Russian-speaking migrants” in Germany and the thousands of Russians in the U.S. - we perhaps may not forget, that strange other quotation from President Putin during a visit to Holy Mt. Athos (Agios Oros) (which is from memory, because I cannot recover the original, that was somewhere in youtube), where he adressed the “assembly of monks and gerontoi” surprisingly, that it is his, the President's hope, to learn from the “brotherhood of Mt. Athos” something for to build the “brotherhood of man” - even based on the philosophical-metaphysical-theological principles they on Mt. Athos are TRYING to follow, as best as mortal humans can accomplish!

Such even the contemporary music-writer if not composer, may give in into the hope, that we are not condemned to what Beethoven once is said to have uttered, that he would not play “for those pigs” - which we today may expand to, that nobody can be forced, to play for today MAFIA from Big Music Business, as were the allegations around Frank Sinatra for instance. ---xxx---

So in the end the essence of this elaboration may have come near banality, if we try to resume:

According to common human experience IT IS POSSIBLE even after meeting with HARH realities far from ANY “dreamland”, to stay TRUE to the “first love”, with which everything once started, may be even triggered by BEAUTY, which in the Aristotelian GREEK view once led to the “world of the heavenly Muses”100, and was declared one of the

99 See “Russischsprachige Bevölkerungsgruppen in Deutschland” in Wikipedia DE URL https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russischsprachige_Bev%C3%B6lkerungsgruppen_in_Deutschland - see Loshkin, Pavel: Wie viele Russischsprachige leben in Deutschland?; in: “Mediendienst Integration” vom 21.04.2019 URL https://mediendienst-integration.de/artikel/wie-viele-russischsprachige-leben-in- deutschland.html – Both sources are referring reseearch of Jannis Panagiotidis at Osnabrueck University (URL https://www.imis.uni- osnabrueck.de/personen/imis_mitglieder/panagiotidis_jannis.html ), who estimates, that there are ACTUAL and TODAY approx 6 million “Russian-speaking” people in Germany, out of which may be 2-3 million “post-Soviet migrants”(whicha rrived after 1990) .- see “Jannis Panagiotis” Curriculum vitae in academia-edu URL http://cogsci.academia.edu/JannisPanagiotidis/CurriculumVitae - please note: THIS WOULD NEED ADAPTING VIEWS AND UNDERSTANDINGS TO NEW INFORMATIONS COMING FROM STATISTICS, which ARE NOT RECOGNIZED by the broader public! IF TRUE, that there are 2-3 million NEWLY arrived Russians in Germany TODAY, then PERHAPS QUESTIONABLE, that the SAY only, that total population of Germany shall be 81 million! We may add to this NEW DEMOGRAPHICAL situation, that CORRECT numbers of “post- 1990 Polish immigrants to Germany” may be 1 million! 100 See and compare: Pieper, Josef: Was heisst akademisch. Oder: Der Funktionär und der Sophist, München: Kösel 1952, 1. Aufl. - see page 38 f; keyword “Akademie als Kultvergand” - see chapter: “Neue Einwurzelung im Kult”, S. 85 f - additional “persuasive argument”: they INDEED in , Egypt have excavated in meantime not only remains of the famous LIBRARY but attached to that an important building called “MUSEION”, which is just that; “a place for the 165.0 - Sbrannoi Vojevode – cover 2 36 of 37 major goals of Fine Arts and Music – besides TRAINING and LEARNING! -, so that mortal humans was opened a viable gate, to participate in the “higher enjoyments”, that were inherited by the OLD GODS, to which the Christians CLAIM, that those with the “epiphany and arrival to this planet of Jesus Christ” even were SURPASSED!

The are not overly surprised, that in the background, there is shining an old theorem, which is: The Beatifuk, the True and the good are one! Which may be expanded to: “He, the beautiful, he, the true, and he, the godd, are one! Which is exactly the reason, why there has survived music OUTSIEDE the STRUCTURES, that were installed by all those WORLDLY MIGHTY POWERS, that govern and manipulate mankind – even to the limit, that here, where I am living in 2020 MAKING MUSIC PERSONALLY and SINGING IN PERSON is dying out!

If referring to “first love” sounding an IMPOSSIBILITY, we may add from the TEXT of “Sbrannoi Vojevode” the OTHER IMPOSSIBILITY, that the “strange taletelling” around the conception of and by St.Mary MAY IMPLY the TEMPLATE for CHANGING CONCEPTION for our entire mankind, as PHANTASTIC this may seem to the dull and restricted working-capacities of the human brain of our own times!

I may perhaps add, because I got some glimpses into Orthodoxy during my “spiritual and artistic socialization”:

The Orthodox icon-painter for instance would approach his work not without applying some methods before, which have nothing to do with the fine arts, but may count as “spiritual preparations” elevating the human body and mind to a necessary considered level of PURITY – which has “something” to do with “purity of heart” (and motivations) -, as for instance FASTING, PRAYING and religious contemplation – not to forget invocation of the PATRON SAINTS, which would be here in Europe in case of painting St. Luca and in case of music Santa Cecilia of Trastevere (Roma) – and / or Saraswati in all Indian and Hindu lands – which is other than in antique Greek times, where all learned ones had to attend special worship of the Muses, becoming members of a socalled “cult-brotherhood” first.

OTHERWISE we have to face the REALITY of REAL HISTORY, which is AFTER Stalin's Archipel GULAG and AFTER Hitler's “music-orchestra” in Nazi-KZ Auschwitz, AFTER CIA and KGB interfering with regulations for music, after setup of PROGRESSIVE “state governed” BIG MUSIC BUSINESS …

The “modern artist” believing whatever and “experimenting” with whatever cannot grasp the Orthodox Christian nor the Hindu Indian approach! Which would mean, that this elaboration may meet deaf ears101 – so that we can light

MUSES”! 101 The today level of European classical music needs awareness of HEALTH RISKS coming form “high performing sports” and must be counterbalanced by SPECIAL physical training and “REHA- gyms” (“rehabilitation for high performance sports”) , not to mention, that it is IMPOSSIBLE, to stay healthy if engaging in socalled “modern music” or “contemporary music”, not to mention the risks of 165.0 - Sbrannoi Vojevode – cover 2 37 of 37 heartedly come to the end – and have our well earned BREAK not only from music, but from all this TERRIBLY educated guessing, which we underwent, to PREVENT becoming CHARLATANS102 in Arts and Music, which in the end would be near BETRAYAL on the audience and BETRAYAL of truth!
