For modern Russian observer hidden springs of many important social and political processes taking place in Ukraine today, are either not well understood or completely unknown.To a large extent this applies to the problems of the church, more precisely, to that particular religious and political situation, which is already more than ten years, it is an obstacle to the restoration of Orthodox unity in Ukraine, obtaining the hoped-believers of the church in the world.
This situation is a result of peculiarities of development of Ukraine, historically dating back to the first decades of the twentieth century, the Ukrainian national movement.For it was at this time it is the first attempt to establish a persistent separatist Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which has nothing to do with the Moscow Patriarchate.The most important feature of this nationalistic in nature movement autocephalous church is its close relationship with Ukrainian separatism at all possible levels.
Modern church nationalists not only did not give up their program plans, but increasing attack on the canonical Orthodox Church, uniting in its bosom of the same faith the people of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, were baptized into Christ the Savior in general Kiev font.At the same time they act as an open, not hiding their views and goals and gradually outwardly Rada supposedly for the good of the Russian Orthodox Church and its integral part - the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox.Second can be called kriptoavtokefalistami, understanding this secret supporters of the idea of "nezalezhnoy Church", fortunately, are not finding supporters among the faithful of the Church in Ukraine.One of the notable trends subversion kriptoavtokefalistov now become discredited church leaders, opposing split and pro-historical unity with the Moscow Patriarchate.To those workers into the field of anti-Catholic reasonably be attributed priest Alexy Slyusarenko and Alexander Slesareva.The main focus of activities in recent years were "exposing" attacks on prominent representatives of both Moscow and the Ukrainian theological schools and other educational institutions.
This activity has its own explanation.After kriptoavtokefalistam dreamed would clean the church space of all possible opponents split, so as to create conditions for a new division of the church - a self-care of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Moscow Patriarchate.This attack is mostly done through the Internet, where supporters of.Alexis and Alexander Slyusarenko Slesareva replicate their unsubstantiated accusations against the professor of the University of Lugansk O. Borisova, the church recognized scholar, author of textbooks for Harvard and Oxford, as well as against the doctor of theology Archpriest Alexander Fedoseyev, writer Rassulina and other serial fighters church split.
noteworthy that the purpose of defamation Rassulina kriptoavtokefalnaya group forged unheard of and totally awkward term "Orthodox sectarian."Thus, instead of the fraternal and pastoral admonition discuss possible shortcomings of a product (if any) they hang a man awesome antichurch label pushing seeker author of the Church.Thus any criticism of our staff "whistleblowers" begins with personal attacks against their opponents and end indiscriminate condemnation of the church authorities, some or other spiritual institutions and of the Holy Patriarch.
It is obvious that attention to the books Archpriest Alexander Fedoseyev secret raskolouchiteli paid in connection with one of the final chapters of the book "From Luben to Kharkov," called "Triumph of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill to Ukraine."Being formally members of the canonical Church, they can not afford to openly oppose the Most Holy Patriarch and therefore circumvent trying to discredit the author of scientific work, condemning such acts as they are - they are like-minded associates.And as Archpriest Alexander Fedoseyev more than half of his life has been studying Ukrainian splits, and his works are including evidence about the nature of the activities actually avtokefalistskom about.Alexey and Alexander Slyusarenko Slesareva.
The actions kriptoavtokefalistov To warm up, we see the idea of a split in the nationalist basis, the ultimate goal of which is thought deposition of Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the present and its autocephaly, opposed by the vast majority of believers in Ukraine.The above kriptoavtokefalistskaya duality in one voice say that the theology of the UOC MP allegedly ideologically impoverished and requires urgent reform - of course, on the basis of the national Ukrainian Orthodoxy and identity in her opposition to the universal dimension of the Ecumenical Orthodox unity and indissolubility of the historic Ukraine and Russia.In this spirit the separatists do not stop resorting to the most unworthy methods to achieve their goals - forgery, discredit, labeling.
kriptoavtokefalistov feverish activity was recently explained by the fact that supporters of the policy of split with the Moscow Patriarchate today, losing in the confrontation with the "pro-Moscow", but rather, general church position.This, in particular, said Ukrainian political analyst Volodymyr Fesenko, "Inside the UOC-MP was a difficult situation, health-related primate, Metropolitan Volodymyr.This, of course, is the conflict of interests and the question - who will come after him.For any question of a successor to the social institution is always difficult.And in our case there is a problem associated with the struggle within the Church two currents - Autocephalists and so-called "pro-Moscow group."
Forced and certain forces very necessary revival of the autocephalous movement did not go unnoticed, not only Ukrainian political scientist, but also some other analysts.In particular, write about Sergei Pavlyuchenko: in his article "Alexei Slyusarenko - a priest and a provocateur," he very clearly indicates the actions of the harmfulness and the danger of a clergyman, and Eugene Pavlyuk in the study "Alesya Slyusarenko - Lugansk Father Gapon."
«It is evident that the actions of a priest Alexei Slyusarenko not just purposeful - they are also very skillfully coordinated.In light of his statements can confidently say that these actions are directed against the representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine, especially against the strongest secular and theological schools.This is the way of separation of church schism.Alex Slyusarenko priest and a group of his associates seek autocephaly UOC on a national basis, engaged in discrediting the "Muscovites" in the moment. "
autocephalous movement in Ukraine has more than a century, but can not completely suppress any, nor achieve its harmful Ukraine objectives.It is obvious that as long as there will be staunch Ukrainian nationalists or simply dishonest people take personal advantage of artificial provoking conflict between Orthodox Ukraine and Russian Orthodox, will be maintained and the idea of autocephaly.
current kriptoavtokefalizm - a new shell of the old secessionist movements to be hard to suppress the name of the Church's unity.The Church has the right, duty and responsibility to oppose all those who encroach on the age-old principles of its ecclesiological dispensation, all the means at its disposal canonical means.
