	cars - Maximus, Metropolitan of all Rus
		During the war between Nogay and Tokhta Khan of the Golden Horde and war between the latter and the Polovtsy, Maximus left Kiev in 1299 and transferred the metropolitan chair to Vladimir.
		Maximus is known for his ecclesiastic trips to the Golden Horde and mediation between the quarreling princes of the Northeastern Russia (e.g., Dmitry Alexandrovich and Andrey Alexandrovich, sons of Alexander Nevsky).
		In 1301, Maximus attended a patriarch council in Constantinople.

	Joasaph, Bishop And Hieromartyr Of Chistopol And Those With Him
		Early in 1922 Metropolitan Cyril was released from prison and was met in Kazan by Bishops Joasaph and Athanasius and a large crowd of Orthodox, for whom Metropolitan Cyril already had the aura of a confessor of the faith.
		Maximus Mikhailov, could not pronounce the exclamations from emotion, and the service was several times interrupted because of the general weeping.
		The majority (even of those who later submitted to Metropolitan Sergius) considered that such actions were undoubtedly inspired by the authorities, and that his expressed opinion concerning those who were in prison, that they were being justly punished for their supposedly criminal activities, was an immoral act unworthy of the conscience of an Orthodox hierarch.

	Aleksandra Sulikowska. "New Constantinople": Byzantine Traditions in Muscovite Rus' in the 16th Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The subject of this paper is the problem of relations between Rus' and the Balkans in the 16th century which is still the one of the least discussed questions of Orthodox art.
		They reached Rus' as early as the first half of the 14th century and the first reaction to them was the Novgorod bishop's "address" to Theodor, vladyka of Tver (1347) relating to the controversy of a material or transcendental Paradise.
		The tragic vicissitudes of Maximus, his lawsuits and imprisonment made a background for the change in the position of the Moscow hierarchy regarding the Byzantine Church in the first half of the 16th century.

	Maximus Bishop And Hieromartyr Of Serpukhov And Those With Him
		And after Bishop Maximus was raised to the episcopate and became the leader of the movement in the Moscow region, in a short period a significant proportion of the parishes of Zvenigorod, Volokolamsk, Kolomna, Klin, Zagorsk, Skhodny and other cities and villages joined the Josephites.
		Vladyka Maximus arrived in the fourth department of SLON (the Solovki camp of special destination on the island of Solovki in the White Sea) at the end of October, 1929.
		Metropolitan Sergius and all the 'sergianists' categoricallydenied the existence of the Catacomb Church.

	Glorification
		Also represented will be quite a large assembly of those who preserved canonical unity with Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky), and those who were not in agreement with one or another element of the ecclesiastical politics of Metropolitan Sergius, but who at the same time testified to their righteous way of life by the exploit of martyrdom.
		In this stance Metropolitan Cyril and his adherents differed from the stance of Metropolitan Joseph.* However, although the question of the glorification of Metropolitan Joseph will not be raised at the Sobor, a number of hierarchs, such as, for example, the Hieromartyrs Victor (Ostrovidov) and Seraphim (Zvezdinsky) will be glorified.
		In 1934, while Metropolitan Peter was still living, Metropolitan Sergius lawlessly assumed the title of Metropolitan of Moscow, and in 1936 declared himself to be the Locum tenens of the Patriarchal Throne.

		Rus' was immediately included in a definite and previously elaborated network of ties and actions.
		Rus' was in intimate contact with Patriarch Euthymius' 37 Bulgaria during the fourteenth century, and for this reason the example of Metropolitan Kiprian is instructive.
		His quarrel with Metropolitan Makarii was a clash of two religious and esthetic orientations: traditional hieratic realism as opposed to a symbolism nourished by a heightened religious imagination.

		Metropolitan Anthony (Andrei Borisovich Bloom) was born on 19 June 1914 in Lausanne, in the family of a member of the Russian diplomatic corps.
		Despite the fact that from 1957 he was a Bishop and from 1966 a Metropolitan of the Moscow Patriarchate, the authorities of the land of state atheism did not dare attempt to silence his voice.
		Metropolitan Anthony had another very rare gift – he was able to expound the most complex spiritual concepts so clearly and simply, that they were equally comprehensible to all, from the most complicated soul to the simplest.

	Opinions of the New Martyrs of Russia concerning the Moscow Patriarchate
		Metropolitan Sergei brings into the Church service, a heresy unheard of in the history of the Church, the heresy of modernized departure from God, -of which the natural consequence became confusion and division in the Church.
		Metropolitan Sergei, by his self-wise and evil-worshipping declaration and the anti-Church work which followed it, has created a new modernized schism or Sergian modernism, which while preserving for the 'little ones' a fiction of Orthodoxy and canonicity is even more criminal than the first two modernizations of 1922 and 1925.
		Metropolitan Sergius, by his self-wise and evil-worshipping declaration and the anti-Church work which followed it, has created a new renovationist schism or Sergian renovation, which while preserving for the 'little ones' a fiction of Orthodoxy and canonicity is even more criminal than the first two renovationisms of 1922 and 1925.

	CHAPTER I
		Metropolitan Filaret and the editorial board for the journal The Works of the Holy Fathers in Russian Translation obviously anticipated his appeal for a "return to the Fathers." The Orthodox emigrés in Paris were working clergy and laymen trying to acclimate Russian Orthodoxy to the ecumenical challenges of the twentieth century.
		Rus' was in intimate contact with Patriarch Euthymius'[37] Bulgaria during the fourteenth century, and for this reason the example of Metropolitan Kiprian is instructive.
		Since 1299, when the metropolitan see "of all Russia" was transferred from Kiev to the north (and subsequently to Moscow), this region had known a constant drive for ecclesiastical autonomy.

		Metropolitan Sergius did not proceed from the premise that the Soviet authority was a satanic power, but rather that it was like any other civil authority.
		On the other hand, having separated themselves from Metropolitan Sergius because they were unwilling to subscribe to his oath of "allegiance," they bore, in the eyes of the persecutors of the Faith, the stigma of being disloyal citizens, and by that very fact were condemned to persecution.
		Metropolitan Peter (Polyansky), Metropolitan Cyril (Smirnov) and many other bishops and clergymen who did not agree with Metropolitan Sergius were quickly arrested and ended their lives in exile and prison.

	The Importance of Sobornopravnist in Church Government
		It is not to be tampered with by popes, patriarchs, metropolitans, archbishops, bishops, priests, or laity.
		Metropolitan Ilarion referred to early Greek accounts proving unanimously that St. Andrew preached the Gospel “even in the far barbarian Scythia,” the first being from the father of church history, Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea in Palestine.
		All church offices were elective from highest to lowest, the metropolitan was elected by the National Sobor, the bishop by the Sobor of Bishops with representatives of lay people, the parish church administration by the parish — the parish elected the candidate for ordination, but the bishop blessed and ordained him.

	THE BATTLE FOR THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
		Thus Metropolitan Philaret of Kiev was present at the “prayers for peace” in Assisi, Italy in 1986 at which were present not only the Pope of Rome and the Anglican Primate, but also the Dalai Lama (who considers himself a god) and North American worshippers of the snake.
		But we must remember that the unity of the Russian Church was destroyed already in 1927 by Metropolitan Sergius and his Moscow Patriarchate, which strengthened this satanic deed by betrayal and the shedding of the blood of the best representatives of the Russian land.
		Maximus the Confessor was a simple monk, but he said: “Even if the whole world enters into communion with the heretical patriarch, I will never do so.” And several years later, the Orthodox world, which almost completely fallen into the heresy of Monothelitism, recognized that St. Maximus had been right.

		The characteristics of this Golden Age are worth noting: a deep faith among the people, tireless efforts by the hierarchy of the Church to eradicate old pagan ways, missionary fervour, a healthy monastic presence with a charitable rather than legalistic bent, and the penetration of Orthodoxy into every area of the people’s lives.
		Instead of a college of ruling Bishops with honorary Metropolitans and Patriarchs among them, as envisioned by the Seven Councils, a college of ruling bishops subject to a powerful Pope characterised the hierarchy.
		Maximus the Greek studied in Florence, Italy, the cradle of the Renaissance (the rebirth of pagan culture) and eagerly pursued Humanist ideals.

	APPENDIX III. THE DOGMATIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ORTHODOX AUTOCRACY
		In the first, although Metropolitan Sergius gives a negative answer to the question (first of all in relation to the Pope), this negative answer is not so much a matter of principle as of empiricism.
		And although the metropolitan declares that this universal leader is not the vicar of Christ, this declaration does not look sincere in the context both of his other theological opinions and of his actions in accordance with this theology."
		In the second cited article, Metropolitan Sergius explained the differences in the reception of heretics and schismatics, not on the basis of their objective confession of faith, but on the subjective (and therefore changeable) relationship of the Church's first-hierarch to them.

		This apostasy reached its height in March, 1927, when Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky), after being held prisoner by the Bolsheviks for several months, was released, and soon thereafter, on 24 June of the same year, issued the notorious Declaration, in which the Russian Church solemnly extolled the godless communist regime.
		Metropolitan Sergius thereby made his church organization an accessory propaganda organ of the communist government.
		It had the solemn task of freely, without ideological pressures, preaching in various corners of the world the truth of Orthodoxy and the truth concerning the sufferings of the Russian Church, and of continuing the rich spiritual and intellectual tradition of pre-Revolutionary Russia.
