		Because monasteries were major custodians of Christian spiritual and cultural values and were significant autonomous centers of wealth and economic enterprise, the Bolsheviks launched a direct attack against them on November 8, the first day of Soviet power, in the Decree on Land.
		This act, which nationalized monastery land and all other forms of property, was but the first salvo in a long barrage of legislative acts with the ultimate objective of rooting monasteries and convents completely out of the old Russian culture that the Bolsheviks despised and sought to annihilate.
		A welcoming party from Kirillov met Patriarch Aleksii at nearby Ferapontov Convent-Museum (Denisov, 606-09), where a bell-ringing ceremony was performed for him on bells loaned by Kirillo-Belozersk Monastery-Museum (Denisov, 583-85) for the occasion.
