Throughout the 1914 Russian Empire were listed 54,174
Christian churches. In addition there were 25,593 chapels, 1,025 monasteries,
military churches and cemetery chapels. By 1987 only 6,893 churches and 15
monasteries remained. During the Jewish martyrdom of the Church the clergy of
Western churches remained silent, media complicit, and capitalism flourished.
The German Reich from 1941 ~ 1945 was the only saviour of the crucified Church
and its celebrants.
Airbrushed from the Western
narrative is the malign Jewish influence on what has been dubbed the Second
Crucifixion of Christ. The Bolshevik martyrdom of Christianity was celebrated
by atheists and those whose faith is to be discovered between the pages of the
Talmud.

The desecration of all
non-Jewish places of worship permeated from the top echelons of Soviet
government. Genhrik Yagoda (Yenokh Gershevich Iyeguda) was director of the
notorious Bolshevik security apparatus known as the NKVD. Under his direction
10 million people are known to have died. Yet, those hooked on Western media
have never heard of the worst killer in history.

Genhrik Yagoda and his closest
associates burned with a satanic hatred of all things Christian. An eyewitness
account reveals that in Yagoda’s palatial home was an assortment of plundered
Church icons. Genhrik Yagoda with other Bolshevik commissars enjoyed cavorting
naked in the dacha’s dressing rooms. As they frolicked they pumped rounds of
ammunition into priceless Orthodox artifacts. Finally, tiring of their
perversity, they would bathe together.
Following his death Genhrik
Yagoda’s two Moscow apartments and countryside dacha were examined. Discovered
were 3,904 pornographic photographs, eleven pornographic films, 165
pornographic toys such as artificial penises. Also found were the two bullets
that had killed his former associates Zinoviev (Hirsch Apfelbaum) and Lev
Kamenev (Lev Rozenfeld).
Bolshevik propaganda and
strategy was aimed at degrading the Christian faith, destroying its places of
worship whilst slaughtering millions of non-Jewish celebrants. Hand-in-hand was
opportunity to strip all places of worship of every vestige of Christian
symbolism. Most artefacts were priceless and irreplaceable. Seized were the
gold-plated domes of cathedrals and churches, gold iconostasis. Plundered were
gold and silver rizas. Rizas is the precious metals, gems and diamonds that
decorate holy icons. Stripped churches were demolished and some converted into
museums celebrating Bolshevik history. Many were transformed into storehouses,
houses of Soviet culture, even private apartments.

looting a church.
The Western narrative is that
the Bolsheviks viewed ‘religion as the opiate of the people’. Untrue, the
Jewish religion was spared. “Fifteen years after the Bolshevist Revolution the
editor of the American Hebrew could write: ‘According to such
information that the writer could secure while in Russia a few weeks ago, not
one Jewish synagogue has been torn down, as have hundreds, perhaps thousands of
Catholic Churches. In Moscow and other large cities one can see Christian
churches in the process of destruction; it is said the Government needs the
location for a large building,” (American Hebrew, Nov. 18, 1932, p. 12)
“Apostate Jews, leading a revolution that was to destroy religion as the
“opiate of the people” had somehow spared the synagogues of Russia.” (p. 211)
February 1918, Lenin published
his notorious decree that separated the Church from state and schools. Church
property became state property. Soviet power from the very first days set about
the total destruction of Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussia Christendom.
On March 19, 1922, Vladimir
Lenin in a letter to Bolshevik leaders: “The removal of values, especially the
richest laurel, monasteries and churches, must be carried out with ruthless
determination, stick at nothing stopping and pick up values in the shortest
possible time. The greater the number of representatives of the reactionary
bourgeoisie and reactionary clergy will be able to shoot it will be better for
us.” (Kremlin archives in 2 books / Book 1, The Politburo and the Church
1922-1925. M. Novosibirsk, Siberian Chronograph, 1997, p. 143).
Credulous
peasants were told Church wealth resulted in their poverty.
Many monasteries, including
the internationally acclaimed Miracles Monastery situated in the Kremlin, were
plundered. After being totally stripped of all valuables this magnificent rival
to St Paul’s and St Peter’s was completely destroyed until no trace remained.
Monasteries were converted into factories and workshops. Some were used as
shelters for cattle, arsenals, prisons, concentration camps, places for detention
in which torture and the casual murder of prisoners was routine.
Deliberate starvation led to
ten million peoples deaths in Ukraine; the figure is Stalin’s estimate. During
this dreadful period the Soviets exported wheat and other arable foodstuffs to
the West. Confiscated produce was sold on the German market to help fund the
1918 – 1922 thwarted attempt to overthrow the post-war German government.
The artificial famine served
useful as a means of destroying the Christian Church. As a stroke of master
deception, the Bolsheviks in December 1921 requested the Patriarch of All
Russia for donations to assist the needy. The Bolsheviks used this ploy to
justify the plundering of churches before the eyes of the credulous peasantry.
During the first months 33 pounds of gold, 24,000 pounds of silver and
thousands of precious stones were seized. Priests and laity were massacred in
their thousands as were hundreds of thousands of those who kept the faith. Rome
and the heads of Western churches remained silent as did Western media.
Seized and
melted down.
The Church and Christian faith
became a state sponsored object of abuse and mockery. In 1918-1920 the
Bolsheviks pursued an active anti-church campaign. Opened, defiled and
plundered were gold and silver tombs containing saintly relics. During the
Resolution of the People’s Commissariat of Justice present at the opening of
tombs there was much satanic symbolism and mockery practiced.
The strategy was to
institutionalise, weaken and discredit the Russian Orthodox Church. Its purpose
was to eliminate veneration of holy relics and as a means to plunder the wealth
of the Christian Church. A program of public denigration of saints was
practiced. Reference to the mortal remains of saints and the martyred were publicly
mocked as ‘blackened bones, dust and trash.’ Each opening of a holy tomb was
filmed and photographed. In some cases gross blasphemies were made by committee
members. These sacrileges were made by committee members at the opening of the
relics of Saint Sabbas of Storozhi. The Saint was an Orthodox monk and saint of
the 14-15th century. One member of the Bolshevik committee was seen to spat
several times on the skull of the Saint.
On March 29, 1922 Donskoy
Monastery was pulled apart after the silver tomb of St. Alexis of Moscow had
been removed. During 1919-1920 years no less than 63 last resting places of
Christian saints were opened, pillaged and destroyed. After two decades the
destruction of the visible structure of the Church was close to completion. The
programme of total destruction of non-Jewish places of worship was extended to
all Central and Eastern European countries ceded to Joseph Stalin by Britain’s
unelected Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S President Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Media obligingly spun the betrayal of Europe in a way they thought
digestible; otherwise all was censored.

Some gold or silver
reliquaries and tombs were placed in Soviet museums. The fate of most of the
plundered precious metals is unknown. One can assume from the earlier
disappearance of Imperial Russia’s gold reserves it ended up in the vaults and
counting houses of Western banks.
The destruction of
Christianity paused only during World War Two. Throughout German Occupied
Europe and Russia the Church was restored, faith was encouraged and all places
of worship were reinstated. Land was returned to private ownership. Repression
and destruction resumed only after the Red Army, re-armed by American and
British war industries, occupied regions previously occupied by the Reich.
Tyranny would continue until
1955-1957. However, in 1959 under First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev (the
darling of the West) there began a new and terrible persecution. During
Khrushchev’s tenure were closed more than 5,000 churches most of which had been
earlier restored by the armies of the Reich. The Church in Bolshevik Europe no
longer existed; the only ecclesiastic buildings permitted were Jewish
synagogues.

Although Christianity has
since been restored in Russia repression resumed in Ukraine since the U.S
inspired coup that ousted legitimate President Yanukovych in February 2014.
Under Ukraine’s present government led by Jewish President Pytor Poroshenko and
Jewish Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman the Christian Church is once again
threatened.
In Dnepropetrovsk on April 28,
2016 bandits attacked the home of the Archpriest Anatoly Lysenko, rector of one
of the great city’s churches. Needlessly, the brigands brutally tortured him
and killed his wife. His tormentors, after placing the martyr in the trunk of a
car, transported the unfortunate cleric to a nearby forest where torture was
resumed. When the priest finally lost consciousness he was abandoned. The
following morning the priest was able to reach the nearest settlement where he
pleaded for help. Later, the priest found his wife dead. The Church leader
eventually recovered after a period of care in hospital.
