[QUOTE="OrthoSerb, post: 1548353, member: 24061"] The reason I asked is because I typically hear language relating to "Sergianism and Stalinist USSR" from old calendarists outside of the canonical Orthodox Church. In any case its slightly strange that you've read a book you denounce twice. What examples do you have of the promotion of Sergianism and Stalinist USSR? Unlike you I only read it once but can't recall anything of the sort. I recall stories relating to the following types of people: [LIST] [*]Father John Krestiankin who was arrested and sent to labour camps by the Soviet authorities [*]Bishop Mark of ROCOR [*]Bishop Basil Rodzianko who was an emigre priest broadcasting into the Soviet Union [*]Various other nuns and monks who were living under the radar in Soviet times [/LIST] I don't think anyone could claim that stories which positively reflect on these individuals promote Sergianism and Stalinist USSR. But if you have some counter evidence I'd be interested to hear it. [/QUOTE]
