Russia: Holy procession held in Moscow on anniv. of Baptism of Rus'
A religious procession was held in central Moscow, Friday, to mark the anniversary of the Orthodox baptism of Kievan Rus, Friday.
The ceremony was led by Metropolitan of Krutitsy and Kolomna Juvenile. The procession began at the Dormition Cathedral, situated to the north of the Cathedral Square of the Moscow Kremlin, and ended at the St. Vladimir statue.
Although the Christianisation of Kievan Rus' occurred in several stages, the definitive date of the Christianisation of Kiev dates back to the baptism of Vladimir the Great in 988. St. Vladimir was baptised at Chersonesos before he went on to baptise his family and residents in Kiev.

I Was an Nkvd Agent: A Top Soviet Spy Tells His Story Paperback – September 12, 2007
by Anatoli Granovsky
Anatoli Granovsky (born 1922)[1] is a former NKVD agent who defected to the West in 1946 and authored an autobiographical book about his career in Soviet intelligence. After defecting to Sweden in autumn 1946, Granovsky wrote the book I Was an NKVD Agent.
Defection
Granovsky, after working in eastern Europe, was reassigned a new cover as a member of the Merchant Navy in summer 1946. In Odessa Granovsky had been approached by the MGB, successor to the NKVD, and asked to be their spy aboard the ship Petrodvorets, with which he would rendezvous in Stockholm after traveling aboard another ship. On July 10, 1946, Granovsky arrived in Stockholm. On July 21 he slipped away from his colleagues in a crowd and went to see the assistant U.S. Military Attache. Because he could not speak English and the American could not speak Russian, they went the supervisory Military Attache, a Colonel who spoke German (in which Granovsky was experienced).
The Americans refused to grant Granovsky asylum and he was arrested by Swedish authorities. On November 8, 1946, shortly before he was to be repatriated to Soviet authorities, which was a veritable death sentence, Granovsky was granted asylum by King Gustaf V of Sweden.
Gustaf V (Oscar Gustaf Adolf 16 June 1858 – 29 October 1950) was King of Sweden from 1907 until his death in 1950. He was the eldest son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Sophia of Nassau, a half-sister of Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
Following his death at age 92, he was implicated as a homosexual in the Haijby affair. His supposed lover – career criminal and accused pedophile Kurt Haijby – was imprisoned in 1952 for blackmail of the court in the 1930s. (Homosexuality was a criminal offense in Sweden until 1944, though Gustaf's position would have granted automatic immunity.)
The House of Bernadotte, the current royal house of Sweden, has reigned since 1818. Between 1818 and 1905, it was also the royal house of Norway.

Celebration of Christmas in the Diocese of New Nakhijevan and Russia

Holy Assumption Cathedral, Vladimir
The Island of Valaam. / Остров Валаам.
Valaam is the island in Republic of Karelia of Russia, located in the Northern part of the largest freshwater lakes in Europe - Ladoga, it is the largest island in the Valaam archipelago. On the island there is the village of Valaam, and the monument of Russian architecture - the Valaam monastery, founded before the baptism of Russia, in the year 960, the monk Sergius and Herman, the Greek Holy monks. Transfiguration monastery became the spiritual center of Ladoga lands. It is believed that in ancient times on the island, was located the main temple of Veles (or Volos) and Perun, who were the main deities for the Gentiles living close. The monastic tradition says that the Holy Apostle Andrew, enlightener of the Scythians and the Slavic peoples, moving along the route from the Varangians to the Greeks, blessed of cross the mountain on the island. In the 15th century the monastery was called the Great Lavra or the Northern Athos. Here was the center of world Orthodoxy and writing of books. By the early 16th century in the monastery lived 600 monks. Now in the monastery about two hundred inhabitants. Life revived in All saints, the Baptist, St. Nicholas, Svyatoostrovsky, Sergievsky sketes.
Period 1839-1917 is the heyday of the monastery. In 1989 on December 13, the day of memory of St. Andrew, when the island came six monks, the monastery began the process of revival. And 16 years later, in 2005, was first heard 1000-pound bell Andrew, mounted on the bell tower in the monastery in the framework of the restoration of an ancient belfry. The feast of the Nativity of the blessed virgin Mary September 21, 2008 Patriarch Alexy II consecrated the St. Vladimir skete on Valaam island and conducted the first divine Liturgy in the temple. Resurrection skete, located above Big Nikon Bay, on the mountain, was built in the early twentieth century in the place where according to tradition St. The Apostle Andrew erected a stone cross. Valaam island attracts every year thousands of tourists. The reason - the Valaam Islands have a unique nature, pine forests on the cliffs, warm and quiet inland lakes, the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Valaam monastery. During its formation, the monks brought the land, seeds and seedlings of plants from different parts of our country. For such a Northern location is not usual to see some trees and grass. The age of some of them is over three hundred years. The work of the Valaam monks are so fundamental that some areas are truly hand-made. Balaam - the natural reserve, a unique monument of Park art. There are more than 480 species of plants. The island was visited repeatedly by emperors Alexander I, Alexander II, and other members of the imperial family and also Tchaikovsky and Mendeleyev.
The present life of the monastery, another indication that faith invariably raises and restores the monastery from the ruins. So it was throughout the history of Valaam barbarous raids of the Swedes in ancient times, the bombing and the uncertain fate of the monastery during World War 2, it complete, it would seem that the devastation in the era of atheism – monastic life always has returned to these shores.

RUSSIA: ORTHODOX EASTER CELEBRATIONS
Russian/Nat
Russia's faithful will be celebrating the festival of Orthodox Easter this Sunday.
Freed from decades of state repression, the Russian orthodox church will greet the holiday with a wealth of holy pageantry.
But the religious are attracting a different type of political attention today.
Russia's presidential candidates have realised that the Orthodox Church is a potential source of large numbers of votes.
And from President Yeltsin to Communist Party boss Gennady Zyuganov, the race is on for the political soul of Russia's churchgoers.
With decades of state-sponsored atheist ideology laid to rest, Russia remains in the grips of an astonishing religious revolution.
The scaffold around the Church of the Holy Mother of God in a Moscow suburb bears witness to the hours of work and billions of rubles devoted to reconstructing the Orthodox tradition.
Once shunned as followers of the cult, the Orthodox faithful now enjoy unprecedented freedom of worship.
More than that, donating money to the church has become the vogue among Russia's rich new entrepreneurs while politicians battle it out for the hearts and minds of the Moscow Patriarchy.
It was not always so. The brutal communist campaign against religion destroyed over 50,000 churches across the country and outspoken priests were consigned to prison camps.
The destruction on Stalin's orders of Moscow's Christ the Saviour
Cathedral, Russia's largest, became a symbol of the regime of terror.
Now all but reconstructed, Russia's politicians are carving a role for it as the nation's spiritual centre.
And a role for themselves as the friends of Russia's increasingly powerful Patriarchy.
From President Yeltsin to extreme nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the church photo opportunity has become a key event in political propaganda.
Others too, with an eye on June's presidential elections, are latching on to the idea.
The monastery complex at Sergiev Posad outside Moscow was the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church under the communists.
Recently, it hosted the communists' current leader Gennady Zyuganov.
Zyuganov said he was on a fact-finding mission to learn more about Russia's spiritual heritage.
His opponents claim he used three hours of talks with church officials to lobby for support in the June elections.
In any event, while not claiming to be a believer himself, Zyuganov denies any plans to turn the clock back.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Our relations with the church normalised long ago. Our political programme allows for freedom of conscience and maximum respect for all that it is connected with Russian culture
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, Communist Party leader.
Gleb Yakunin, an orthodox priest defrocked for his outspoken politics and criticism of the Russian church, says the Patriarchy must make a stand.
Himself jailed for his beliefs in the 1970's, Yakunin believes that flirting with the communists is not worth the risk.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
As far as the reaction of simple believers is concerned, they are afraid. The church was dreadfully repressed for 70 years. Young believers do not support the Communists anyway, but old folk remember the years of repression and are deeply worried.
SUPER CAPTION: Gleb Yakunin, Member of Russian Parliament
Priests at the newly-restored Patriarchy, converted into a juvenile prison under the communists, insist there is no cause for alarm.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
It is clear that the Communist Party and other left-wing political groups have renounced atheism in words. The church has no grounds not to believe them - the church must always believe. The church cannot treat politicians or anyone else with prejudice

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of people gathered in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in central Moscow on Sunday for Easter Mass led by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill.
The service lasted several hours, well into the early hours of Sunday.
Patriarch Kirill entered the cathedral and symbolically lit a torch with so-called Holy Fire brought from Jerusalem, as the cathedral lights were turned on.
The Holy Fire ritual, celebrated in Jerusalem the day before the Orthodox Easter, honours the belief that a Holy Fire appears spontaneously from Jesus' tomb as a message that he has not forgotten his followers.
The ritual dates back at least 1,200 years, and the precise details of the flame's source are a closely guarded secret.
The Holy Fire was brought to Moscow on a special flight from Jerusalem, but it was delayed due to bad weather in the Russian capital.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and his wife, and Moscow's Mayor Sergey Sobyanin also attended the service.
Russian Orthodox Easter is being celebrated throughout Russia and at tens of thousands of Russian Orthodox churches across the world.
For Russian Orthodox Christians, Easter is their main religious celebration.
Orthodox Christians follow the old, Julian calendar, so mark Easter this Sunday, whereas Roman Catholic and Protestant congregations that observe the new, Gregorian calendar, held their Easter celebrations at the end of March this year.

Funeral of Vladimir Belyayev
Vladimir Nikolaevich Belyayev, a variant spelling of Vladimir Markof-Belaeff (known professionally as Mario V. Markoff) -- born in Salzburg (Austria) on 15 December 1947 (although the official birth record indicated 15 January 1948), the son of Галина Яновская (née Halina Janowska in Poland) and Николай Владимирович (also known as Александр Ефимович) Беляев, both of whom were victims of Bolshevik persecution due to their class enemy status, the mother coming from a distinguished family of Russian priests, and the father from a prominent military family loyal to the Last Emperor. Reposed on 3 October 2013 in the city of San Francisco. Like his parents before him, he continued the family tradition of teaching, lecturing, researching, writing, publishing (primarily on subjects related to the true history of Russia and Russians, their culture and economic history as well as future prospects. Multilingual, he received his education at the Colegio Almirante Brown in Buenos Aires, San Francisco State University and the University of California at Berkeley. Greatly valued by his colleagues, he was a brilliant mathematician, an exceptionally knowledgeable electronics engineer who worked tirelessly to improve and secure the information resources and communications capabilities of his employers in the USA. In his spare time, he taught the accurate version of Russian history to young Russian-Americans in San Francisco and was a devout, committed and active member of the Russian Orthodox Church as well as the greater flock of faithful throughout Christendom. From 2008, he was the Editor-in-Chief of the Russian-language newspaper in San Francisco, Russian Life -- a sacrifice of his time that sadly undermined his health, as he performed his duties, as he did everything else in life, with enormous diligence and care. Never married, he was devoted to his surviving sisters, nieces and nephews, and a cherished friend to both brothers-in-law. The funeral service, on 12 October 2013, was solemnly offered at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY, with Hieromonk Theophylact and Protodeacon Victor Lochmatow leading the service, and the traditional Russian Orthodox funeral rite sung by a choir of monastery and seminary residents, under the direction of Nikolai Kotar. God's servant Vladimir was interred at the monastery cemetery, where he rests next to his mother, as was his last wish. This video recording at the request of the family was shot and produced by Deacon Ephraim WIllmarth.
