Wealth Patriarch Kirill: as the head of the RPC capital earned. Patriarch Moskovsky and All Russia Kirill did not lose in the nineties of time: in his professional piggy bank, the organization of tobacco, petroleum, automotive and food business. According to different estimates, all this rapid activity brought the head of the RPC capital of 1.5-4 billion dollars. Now at the disposal of the Patriarch Apartment in the famous "House on the Embankment", the watches of the Breguet worth about 30 thousand euros, the palaces in Transmekin and Gelendzhik, as well as a personal aircraft. "New Gazeta" published a compromising on his pages to the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, in Mira - Gundyaeva Vladimir Mikhailovich. According to the newspaper, in the 90s, the head of the ROC, being a modest head of the department of external church connections (OSDS MP), was actively engaged in business, thanks to which he had made a state of several billion. Yes, not rubles, but dollars.

The Patriarch business career began in 1993. Then, with the participation of the Moscow Patriarchate, the financial and trading group "Nika", whose vice-president became Archpriest Vladimir Veriga - Commercial Director of ABS MP. A year later, under the Government of the Russian Federation and at the same time, two humanitarian assistance commissions appeared: the first one could have been issued from taxes and excise taxes, and the second was imported this assistance for the church line and sold commercial structures. Thus, most of the assistance exempted from taxes spread through the usual trading network, at ordinary market prices.

On this channel, only in 1996, OVDS was rumped into the country about 8 billion cigarettes (the data of the Government Commission on Humanitarian Aid). It caused serious damage to "tobacco kings" of the time that were forced to pay duties and excise taxes and therefore lost in the competitive struggle of the MP.

According to the doctor of historical sciences Sergei Bychkov, who published several articles about the tobacco business of the Patriarch, when Cyril decided to get out of this business, there were "church" cigarettes on customs warehouses by more than $ 50 million. In the course of the criminal war, these cigarettes were killed, in particular, the assistant deputy of the Zhirinovsky Somety But Zen.

But the letter of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation to the Moscow Customs Department of February 8, 1997, concerning the "church" cigarettes: "In connection with the appeal of the Commission on International Humanitarian and Technical Assistance under the Government of the Russian Federation and the decision of the Government Chairman of January 29, 1997 for No. HF-P22 / 38 I solve the production of customs clearance of tobacco products in the prescribed manner with the payment of only excise fee enrolled in the customs territory until 01.01.97, according to the decision of the above commission. "

Here, in fact, since then, the new title - "tobacco" was consolidated by Metropolitan, writes "New Gazeta", refining at the same time that it is not tutulous now. Now the Patriarch is customary called "skiing" - with the light hand of Orthodox bloggers who have paid attention to great importance in the life and activities of Cyril His hobbies of mountain skiing (this passion is served by the villa in Switzerland and a personal aircraft, and in Red Polyana it helps to fix informal relationships with strong The world of this).

By the way, Kirill himself somehow tried to justify his participation in the tobacco business: "People who were engaged in this, did not know what to do: burn these cigarettes or send them back? We turned to the government, and it made a decision: to recognize this by a humanitarian cargo and provide an opportunity to implement it. " Representatives of the government categorically denied this information, after which the Patriarch of Alexy II liquidated the Commission of the SSSS MP and created the new Commission of the MP RPC on humanitarian aid issues led by Bishop Alexiam (Frolov).

In addition to the mentioned Foundation "Nika", OSDS MP made the founder of the Commercial Bank "Peresvet", JSC "International Economic Cooperation" (MES), JSC "Free People's Television" (SNT) and a number of other structures. The most profitable business of Cyril after 1996 was the export of oil through the MES, liberated at the request of Alexy II from customs duties. Kirill in Mace represented Bishop Victor (Pyankov), now living as a private person in the United States. The annual turnover of the company amounted to about 2 billion dollars in 1997.

Due to the closures of this information, it is now difficult to understand whether Kirill continues to participate in the oil business, but there is one very eloquent fact. A few days before the start of the US military operation against Saddam Hussein, the Deputy Cyril Bishop Feofan (Ashurkov) flew to Iraq.

In 2000, he was published in public about the attempts of Metropolitan Kirill to be implemented to the market of marine bioresources (caviar, crabs, seafood) - the relevant government structures were identified by the company established by the hierarch (region ") quotas for the catch of Kamchatka crab and shrimp (total volume - more than 4 thousand tons).

According to Kaliningrad journalists, Metropolitan Kirill, as the ruling bishop of the Diocese of the ROC MP in the Kaliningrad region, participated in the automotive joint venture in Kaliningrad. It is characteristic that Kirill, even becoming a Patriarch, did not appoint a diocesan bishop to the Kaliningrad department, leaving her under his direct control.

In 2004, a researcher at the Center for Studies of the Shadow Economy under the RSU Nikolai Mitrochin issued a monograph on the shadow economic activities of the ROC MP. The cost of assets that controlled Metropolitan Kirill was evaluated in this work at 1.5 billion dollars. Two years later, the journalists of the Moscow News tried to recalculate the assets of the head of the Church Mide and came to the conclusion they already had $ 4 billion.

And according to The New Times, in 2002, Metropolitan Kirill bought a penthouse in the "house on the embankment" overlooking the Church of the Savior. This, by the way, "the only apartment in Moscow, registered exactly on Metropolitan on his worldly name Gundyaev, about which there is an appropriate entry in the cadastral statement."

Another attribute of this life, which became the subject of a broad discussion, is the Breguet watches worth about 30 thousand euros, who fell on the left hand of the Patriarch next to the monastic rosary Ukrainian journalists. It happened the next day after Kirill had a highly broadcast in the live of the main Ukrainian TV channels: "It is very important to learn the Christian Askise ... Askeyza is the ability to regulate your consumption ... This is a person's victory over lust, over passions, over the instinct. And it is important that both rich, and poor owners are owned by this quality.

The luxurious cortices of the Patriarch Kirill, and the services of protection from the FSO, which he uses steel. In Moscow, when the Patriarch rides, all the streets are overlapping along the path of his follows, which naturally causes mass resentment of car owners. In Ukraine, the semi-kilometer corterates of Cyril was completely shocked by local residents: in the neighboring country, even the president rises much more modest.

It is necessary, however, pay tribute to Kirill: for official visits, he freres the aircraft of Transaero, and the personal aircraft enjoys only for personal purposes.

Separate and almost inexhaustible theme - Palaces and residence of the Patriarch. Kirill strives and in this matter is not to lag behind the first persons of the state. His permanent residential residence was considered the newly built palace in Peredelkin, for which several houses of local residents were demolished. From the windows of the trains of the Kiev destination, it looks like a big Russian Terem - like a terman palace in the Kremlin. Cyril does not like to live there: the railway passing next door is disturbing.

Therefore, the current Patriarch ordered a newly separated the palace in the Danilov Monastery, who did not look well before. It was not without scandals and the construction of the Patriarchal Palace in Gelendzhik, which caused the resentment of local ecologists first.

For the first time, the scandal around the Gelendzhik cottage of the Patriarch broke out a year ago, when activists of the "ecological watch" in the North Caucasus were penetrated into the territory of the facility under construction. During the inspection, they found out that at least 10 hectares of a unique forest fenced with a three-meter fence, and in the center there is a strange "pathoral" building, topped with domes - something mean between the temple and the mansion.

At the same time, according to the "New Gazeta" data, in 2004 the ROC received at its disposal a plot of land with an area of \u200b\u200bonly 2 hectares. Moreover, this land belonged to the forest fund, respectively, to build capital buildings on this land should not be erected. Nevertheless, large-scale construction began here. Environmentalists argue that during the construction they were cut off from 5 to 10 ha valuable forests, which is confirmed by snapshots from space.

In the ROC, they hurried to disprove the arguments of "green." Moscow Patriarchate referred to the act of Rospotrebnadzor, according to which there was no definition on the territory of the spiritual and cultural center of the facts of illegal deforestation. Environmentalists in turn indicate the fact that the document was drawn up in December 2010 - that is, several years after the destruction of the forest.

Another scandal around the cottage of the Patriarch, again initiated by ecologists, flared up in October of the past year. Then activists said that a fire broke out at the end of September the same year in the territory of the spiritual and cultural center of the Moscow Patriarchate could become a result of arson. As the "new", according to the law, the builders are obliged to pay monetary compensation in hundreds of thousand rubles for the destroyed trees. And if the trees burned down on fire, then payment compensation can be avoided.

At the beginning of 2011, the press appeared in the press that the RPC object under construction under Gelendzhik is nothing more than a cottage for the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill. However, the information department of the Moscow Patriarchate These arguments denied, stating that the spiritual center of the Russian Orthodox Church in the south of Russia is being erected in this place, along with already existing centers in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Luxurious transport always causes envy and unreasonable conversations. Especially when it comes to the ministers of the Church. So the yacht Patriarch Kirill in 2011 made a lot of noise.

The most beautiful yacht in Russia

It is impossible to ban billionaires to spend your money on luxurious ships and stylish sea yachts. But how to be, if such expensive transport is seen in the owner of the servant to God? We are talking about the most beautiful yacht "Pallada". This is a gorgeous black ship with tinted glasses. The cost of such a "toy" is $ 4,000,000. The numbers are shocking, and the question arises: "Is this a personal yacht of Patriarch Kirill or he just decided to ride with the breeze?"

The ship was built back in 2003, it was developed by the architect of Guido de Grot. The total length of the yacht is 32 meters, its width is 7.45 meters. Initially, this ship was listed for the President of the Russian Federation. Today it is a yacht Patriarch Kirill. It includes four team members who live in two cabins. Guests to accept the vessel can also, but in the amount of 8 people.

What is inside the yacht?

The yacht of the Patriarch of Moscow Kirill is equipped with the most powerful devices. The design of each cabin royal. It is impossible not to mention the luxury white tree, which was used for interior decoration. Also, designers used a mahogany and oak. All furniture is made according to special sketches from expensive material, it is trimmed with genuine leather.

The deck of snow-white color is perfectly combined with a dark case. Pallada yacht Patriarch Kirill regularly hosts guests from all churches of the world. High-ranking spiritual leaders are resting in a luxurious living room. There is not only a bar, but also the best home cinema. The room is well isolated, so it is pleasant to be in it, even when the weather is raging.

In the dining room can dine eight people. The royal bed is placed in each bedroom. In the bathroom you can take all the necessary water treatments and even enjoy the heat of the sauna. For those who do not represent life without exercise, a full-fledged fitness room is provided.

Where did the yacht from the Patriarch of Moscow?

The personal life of the leaders of the Orthodox world is always of interest among ordinary people. And when there are strange news about luxurious transport or expensive accessories, the people begin to criticize and be accused of dishonesty every minister of the Church. That is what happened when the yacht of Patriarch Kirill was discovered.

Journalists on the Internet were indignantly to argue about expensive apartments and about how they will affect the prayer attitude of all those present. But the very first question that every person asked was very logical: "Where did Patriarch Kirill Yachta come from?"

Gifts of oilmen

In 2005, July 25, the former Yacht Vladimir Vladimirovich was seen on the pier of the Cross Island. Valaam monastery received such water transport through intermediaries. The vessel gave the famous oil

The monastery has long has its own fleet, consisting of ten courts. That's just the status vessel in this collection was not. Guests with special spiritual status should be rolled on special yachts. Therefore, the gift came to the yard, and it is not entirely scary that the name is the pagan.

Attraction unknown generosity?

Many noise did the yacht Patriarch Kirill. What says the ROC (Russian Orthodox Church) about her, is still unknown. Her representatives prefer to just shrink and breed. Of course, this is a gift, but for the gifts it is not accepted.

Press secretary of the NK "LUKOIL" Dmitry Dolgov gave an interview to many printed publications. That's just about what such gifts give, he is silent. The man only told that the yacht was not used by the company itself. She specifically acquired for Gundyaev, who represents the entire clergy community of our country.

Who is a pallada?

The afrya dairy sister wore a palladium name. This pagan title was sacked by a yacht intended for the leader of the state. No one paid attention to this until the yacht belongs to the RCP. In 2007, the ministers of the church promised that they would change the name on the Christian - "Church". It is so called the icon of the Mother of God. But so many years have passed, and the yacht has not yet become referring differently.

Journalists often asked questions to the ministers of the church about this. Those, in turn, found strange explanations to such behavior. Another of the Russian Federation, located on the vessel, is still a special indignation. As you know, the state emblem cannot be used by the RCP.

Ground transport Patriarch Kirill

To carry the word of God in the masses, you need to move all the time. Yacht Patriarch Kirill supplemented a collection that is available on the balance of the Russian Orthodox Church. As the gift itself approves from the oil company, by the way. This is despite the fact that church leaders have already had ten ships at their disposal. Yacht, of course, noticeable transport, but there are other, not inferior to the vessel on luxury and assembly:

• The fleet required for movement on land. In the collection of the Patriarch of Moscow - Mercedes Super Suite S, Toyota Land Cruiser, Limousine and even the Soviet Rarith "Victory".
• Armored car with icon on the facade.

Other generous gifts

Patriarch of Moscow Cyril regularly bring gifts thousands of parishioners. Among them are sufficiently secured people who can afford gifts for $ 30,000. It is so much the wrist watch brand Breguet. In them, the leader of Christianity has repeatedly appeared in the frame, but sometimes they were removed by diligent editors. After all, such accessories will cause outrage from many people.

And the cottage in the form of the temple still shocks everyone who was next to her. These choirs are located on the coast of the Krasnodar Territory. For their construction, hundreds of trees of the Forest State Fund were cut down.

Other yacht Patriarch

People did not have time to forget about generous gifts from oilmen to the servant of the Church, as a new scandal broke out in September 2015. In the center of events - again the ship, the cost of which is about $ 600,000. Patriarch Kirill is seen on a yacht in August with local residents, but the information leaked to the expanses of the worldwide network 22.09. Even photos were made. They can see that the gray-haired old man stands behind the steering wheel. Next, pictures showing the bathing of the patriarch. The action takes place in the Blue Bay, which is located nearby the village of Divnomorsky (Krasnodar Territory).

Journalists with special zeal began to call everyone who could confirm the finding of Cyril on Azimut yacht. But the rest of the clergy representatives preferred to be silent about the sea walk of the Patriarch. Silence only added questions, therefore, this could be. It is also known that the Patriarch Kirill himself repeatedly wrote letters servants of rural churches. They accuse him that he encourages debauchery and closes his eyes on expensive gifts that are inappropriate for everyone who serves the Christian faith.

But Alexey Nevzorov (famous publicist) openly indicates that all the leaders of the clergy live on the money of the parishioners and taxpayers. People simply put inconceivable amounts in the RCP wallet, buying candles, icons and other church attributes. He writes that ordinary mortal men and women who like luxury, expensive cars and large amounts in the accounts are hidden behind all these regions. They are people who forgot about what sin is and how to give their property for the benefit of faith. These people simply promote righteous glances, but are not ready to throw gold and status from their shoulders.

This is how scandals arise when the Patriarch Kirill rides on the yacht. The refutation appeared immediately after unscrupulous accusations on the Internet. But in these words there was a lot of general and little information on the fact of Kirill Bathing in the Black Sea.

How does Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia live?

In 2014, in one interview, Kirill said the phrase, which was shelled the entire Internet: "We live today so richly, as never lived after the revolution." This statement caused a lot of comments. People tried to decipher what the minister of the church was meant. Perhaps the proposal was addressed by the ROC. Since the people live quite poorly, especially in 2014, when the financial crisis began in the yard. The economy of the country was also in the best form, because the prices of raw materials fell with catastrophic speed. The budget of the state was replenished at the expense of taxes and fines.

Today, the Patriarch of Moscow also lives well. Especially if the Black Sea waves cut on the yacht, the cost of which is about $ 600,000. Its close argue that this person is once distracted by holidays and entertainment of ordinary mortals. He prays every day about the salvation of Russia and all of her people. And the fact that there is a few best cars in his fleet, at the pier there is a yacht of the patriarch of Moscow Kirill Gundyaeva, and the car is made from a bulletproof material, it's just the costs of his life. He is a public person, so you need to meet the status.

Of course, condemn the patriarch or not - this is a personal matter of everyone. No one knows what secrets this person keeps and how it communicates with the creator. In any case, his word believe, and thousands of Christians are ready for him. And cars and yachts are the elementary needs of civilized people. He should not live in a hut from the Samana and ride on the cart. Especially since the yacht has become an ordinary gift. So the rest of the transport was presented as a gift or purchased for money ROC. The budget in this execution is far from small. Cyril spoke many times about the fact that all the transport he enjoys is not his property. It remains only to believe the words of this great person, while the next provocative snapsters did not leak on the Internet.

Patriarch Kirill (Gundyaev Vladimir) - Bishop of the Russian ROC, as well as after the elections in 2009, the Local Cathedral - Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, Chairman of the OSDS and a permanent member of the Holy Synod.

According to other reports, this manor will mostly carry out the dacha function and is built mainly for the summer holiday Patriarch.

Apartment Patriarch Kirill

While Metropolitan, he lived in Silver Bor for a long time in a small wooden house. The area of \u200b\u200bthe land plot is about seven thousand square meters. On the territory there are economic buildings and buildings for educational and church activity, but the main house is small and already thick enough.

During this period, President Boris Yeltsin and his entourage decided to improve the housing conditions and presented the clergyman five-room apartment in the size of 140 square meters. meters. The living space is located in the famous "House on the Embankment" on Street Serafimovich House 2.

Here he does not live and never lived. Initially, the presented property was in very poor condition and is not suitable for housing. Over time, the apartment was put in order and transported a collection of rare books here, which in Soviet times began to collect the father of Kirill.

The apartment is located on the very upper floor of the building and has a magnificent view of the Church of Christ the Savior. This is the only real estate officially owned by Vladimir Gundyaev.

According to Cyan, apartments at Serafimovich, 2 more than 100 square meters. meters cost from 95 to 300 million rubles.

Patriarch Moskovsky and All Russia Kirill did not lose in the nineties of time: in his professional piggy bank, the organization of tobacco, petroleum, automotive and food business. According to different calculations, all this rapid activity brought the head of the RPC capital of 1.5-4 billion dollars, writes RU-COMPROMAT. Now at the disposal of the Patriarch apartment in the famous "House on the Embankment", the cloguet watches worth about 30 thousand euros, palaces in Transmekin and Gelendzhik, as well as a personal air park.

"New Gazeta" published on its pages a compromise on the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, in the world - Gundyaev Vladimir Mikhailovich. According to the newspaper, in the 90s, the head of the ROC, being a modest head of the department of external church connections (OSDS MP), was actively engaged in business, thanks to which he had made a state of several billion.

"SKZHNEG"

By the way, Kirill himself somehow tried to justify his participation in the tobacco business: "People who were engaged in this, did not know what to do: burn these cigarettes or send them back? We turned to the government, and it made a decision: to recognize this by a humanitarian cargo and provide an opportunity to implement it. " Representatives of the government categorically denied this information, after which the Patriarch of Alexy II liquidated the Commission of the SSSS MP and created the new Commission of the MP RPC on humanitarian aid issues led by Bishop Alexiam (Frolov).

"Ascetic" Patriarch Kirill watches for 30 thousand euros

The luxurious cortices of the Patriarch Kirill, and the services of protection from the FSO, which he uses steel.

According to different estimates, all this rapid activity brought the head of the RPC capital of 1.5-4 billion dollars. Now at the disposal of the Patriarch apartment in the famous "House on the Embankment", the cloguet watches worth about 30 thousand euros, palaces in Transmekin and Gelendzhik, as well as a personal air park.

"New Gazeta" published on its pages a compromise on the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, in the world - Gundyaev Vladimir Mikhailovich. According to the newspaper, in the 90s, the head of the ROC, being a modest head of the department of external church connections (OSDS MP), was actively engaged in business, thanks to which he had made a state of several billion. Yes, not rubles, and dollars.

Kirill Tobacco

The Patriarch business career began in 1993. Then, with the participation of the Moscow Patriarchate, the financial and trading group "Nika", whose vice-president became Archpriest Vladimir Veriga - Commercial Director of ABS MP. A year later, under the Government of the Russian Federation and at the same time, two humanitarian assistance commissions appeared: the first one could have been issued from taxes and excise taxes, and the second was imported this assistance for the church line and sold commercial structures. Thus, most of the assistance exempted from taxes spread through the usual trading network, at ordinary market prices.

On this channel, only in 1996, OVDS was rumped into the country about 8 billion cigarettes (the data of the Government Commission on Humanitarian Aid). It caused serious damage to "tobacco kings" of the time that were forced to pay duties and excise taxes and therefore lost in the competitive struggle of the MP.

According to the doctor of historical sciences Sergei Bychkov, who published several articles about the tobacco business of the Patriarch, when Cyril decided to get out of this business, there were "church" cigarettes on customs warehouses by more than $ 50 million. In the course of the criminal war, these cigarettes were killed, in particular, the assistant deputy of the Zhirinovsky Somety But Zen.

But the letter of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation to the Moscow Customs Department of February 8, 1997, concerning the "church" cigarettes: "In connection with the appeal of the Commission on International Humanitarian and Technical Assistance under the Government of the Russian Federation and the decision of the Government Chairman of January 29, 1997 for No. HF-P22 / 38 I solve the production of customs clearance of tobacco products in the prescribed manner with the payment of only excise fee enrolled in the customs territory until 01.01.97, according to the decision of the above commission. "

Here, in fact, since then, the new title - "tobacco" was consolidated by Metropolitan, writes "New Gazeta", refining at the same time that it is not tutulous now. Now the Patriarch is customary called "skiing" - with the light hand of Orthodox bloggers who have paid attention to great importance in the life and activities of Cyril His hobbies of mountain skiing (this passion is served by the villa in Switzerland and a personal aircraft, and in Red Polyana it helps to fix informal relationships with strong The world of this).

By the way, Kirill himself somehow tried to justify his participation in the tobacco business: "People who were engaged in this, did not know what to do: burn these cigarettes or send them back? We turned to the government, and it made a decision: to recognize this by a humanitarian cargo and provide an opportunity to implement it. " Representatives of the government categorically denied this information, after which the Patriarch of Alexy II liquidated the Commission of the SSSS MP and created the new Commission of the MP RPC on humanitarian aid issues led by Bishop Alexiam (Frolov).

Kirill Oil

In addition to the mentioned Foundation "Nika", OSDS MP made the founder of the Commercial Bank "Peresvet", JSC "International Economic Cooperation" (MES), JSC "Free People's Television" (SNT) and a number of other structures. The most profitable business of Cyril after 1996 was the export of oil through the MES, liberated at the request of Alexy II from customs duties. Kirill in Mace represented Bishop Victor (Pyankov), now living as a private person in the United States. The annual turnover of the company amounted to about 2 billion dollars in 1997.

Due to the closures of this information, it is now difficult to understand whether Kirill continues to participate in the oil business, but there is one very eloquent fact. A few days before the start of the US military operation against Saddam Hussein, the Deputy Cyril Bishop Feofan (Ashurkov) flew to Iraq.

Kirill Marine

In 2000, he was published in public about the attempts of Metropolitan Kirill to be implemented to the market of marine bioresources (caviar, crabs, seafood) - the relevant government structures were identified by the company established by the hierarch (region ") quotas for the catch of Kamchatka crab and shrimp (total volume - more than 4 thousand tons).

According to Kaliningrad journalists, Metropolitan Kirill, as the ruling bishop of the Diocese of the ROC MP in the Kaliningrad region, participated in the automotive joint venture in Kaliningrad. It is characteristic that Kirill, even becoming a Patriarch, did not appoint a diocesan bishop to the Kaliningrad department, leaving her under his direct control.

Kirill Luxury

In 2004, a researcher at the Center for Studies of the Shadow Economy under the RSU Nikolai Mitrochin issued a monograph on the shadow economic activities of the ROC MP. The cost of assets that controlled Metropolitan Kirill was evaluated in this work at 1.5 billion dollars. Two years later, the journalists of the Moscow News tried to recalculate the assets of the head of the Church Mide and came to the conclusion they already had $ 4 billion.

And according to The New Times, in 2002, Metropolitan Kirill bought a penthouse in the "house on the embankment" overlooking the Church of the Savior. This, by the way, "the only apartment in Moscow, registered exactly on Metropolitan on his worldly name Gundyaev, about which there is an appropriate entry in the cadastral statement."

Another attribute of this life, which became the subject of a wide discussion, is the Breguet watch worth about 30 thousand euros, who filmed On the left hand of the Patriarch next to the monastic rosary, Ukrainian journalists. It happened the next day after Kirill had a highly broadcast in the live of the main Ukrainian TV channels: "It is very important to learn the Christian Askise ... Askeyza is the ability to regulate your consumption ... This is a person's victory over lust, over passions, over the instinct. And it is important that both rich, and poor owners are owned by this quality.

The luxurious cortices of the Patriarch Kirill, and the services of protection from the FSO, which he uses steel. In Moscow, when the Patriarch rides, all the streets are overlapping along the path of his follows, which naturally causes mass resentment of car owners. In Ukraine, the semi-kilometer corterates of Cyril was completely shocked by local residents: in the neighboring country, even the president rises much more modest.

It is necessary, however, pay tribute to Kirill: for official visits, he freres the aircraft of Transaero, and the personal aircraft enjoys only for personal purposes.

Separate and almost inexhaustible theme - Palaces and residence of the Patriarch. Kirill strives and in this matter is not to lag behind the first persons of the state. His permanent residential residence was considered the newly built palace in Peredelkin, for which several houses of local residents were demolished. From the windows of the trains of the Kiev destination, it looks like a big Russian Terem - like a terman palace in the Kremlin. Cyril does not like to live there: the railway passing next door is disturbing.

Therefore, the current Patriarch ordered a newly separated the palace in the Danilov Monastery, who did not look well before. It was not without scandals and the construction of the Patriarchal Palace in Gelendzhik, which caused the resentment of local ecologists first.

Kirill Scandalous

For the first time, the scandal around the Gelendzhik cottage of the Patriarch broke out a year ago, when activists of the "ecological watch" in the North Caucasus were penetrated into the territory of the facility under construction. During the inspection, they found out that at least 10 hectares of a unique forest fenced with a three-meter fence, and in the center there is a strange "pathoral" building, topped with domes - something mean between the temple and the mansion.

At the same time, according to the "New Gazeta" data, in 2004 the ROC received at its disposal a plot of land with an area of \u200b\u200bonly 2 hectares. Moreover, this land belonged to the forest fund, respectively, to build capital buildings on this land should not be erected. Nevertheless, large-scale construction began here. Environmentalists argue that during the construction they were cut off from 5 to 10 ha valuable forests, which is confirmed by snapshots from space.

In the ROC, they hurried to disprove the arguments of "green." Moscow Patriarchate referred to the act of Rospotrebnadzor, according to which there was no definition on the territory of the spiritual and cultural center of the facts of illegal deforestation. Environmentalists in turn indicate the fact that the document was drawn up in December 2010 - that is, several years after the destruction of the forest.

Another scandal around the cottage of the Patriarch, again initiated by ecologists, flared up in October of the past year. Then the activists that the fire broke out at the end of September the same year in the territory of the spiritual and cultural center of the Moscow Patriarchate could be the result of arson. As the "new", according to the law, the builders are obliged to pay monetary compensation in hundreds of thousand rubles for the destroyed trees. And if the trees burned down on fire, then payment compensation can be avoided.

At the beginning of 2011, the press appeared in the press that the RPC object under construction under Gelendzhik is nothing more than a cottage for the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill. However, the information department of the Moscow Patriarchate These arguments denied, stating that the spiritual center of the Russian Orthodox Church in the south of Russia is being erected in this place, along with already existing centers in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
