Through various companies (including those using benefits provided by the church) and intermediaries, Patriarch Kirill at various times tried to enter other markets. For example, in the oil industry in the second half of the 1990s. It is believed that this business brought him the largest income, but it is not known exactly what.
In 2000, Vladimir Gundyaev began to deal with seafood - caviar, Kamchatka crabs, shrimp. From this he earned about $17 million.
He was also involved in the mining of Ural gems, the establishment of banks, and the purchase of shares and real estate.
Another of his businesses was related to cars. But all that is known about this is that he, as the ruling bishop of the diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church MP in the Kaliningrad region, participated in an automobile joint venture in Kaliningrad. His business team included Archbishop Clement (Kapalin) and Archpriest Vladimir Veriga. They also gained fame as participants in the “tobacco” scandal.

Actually, there are many links on the Internet on this topic, whoever has written about it, from Deacon Kuraev to Stas Sadalsky:

This is almost a recognition for future generations, isn't it?
I was interested in the words of A. Nevzorov in his interview on Echo this week:
O. Bychkova – In the history of modern Russia, all murders are mysterious. Because 20 years have passed since Listyev was killed and nothing is still clear.
A. Nevzorov – Yes, everything is clear there. There, simply no one will stir up that pile anymore, because in fact, both the customers and the performers have all been dead a long time ago. And there is, for example, the death of Ridiger, Alexy II, where not even a criminal case was initiated. Where was it released with such soft brakes, besides, I will tell you as an anatomist that in order to crush the posterior ear vein by hitting a toilet or some hard surface, in a small room, you need to hit this hard surface 15 times, and each time do this with increasing force. Because it is very well protected, and it has, as anatomists know, such unpleasant slipperiness. And there wasn’t even a criminal case. And no investigative experiments or anything at all.
Here's more about it:
About how the High Priest of Putin’s Reich, Patriarch Kirill, amassed his billion-dollar capital through speculation in tobacco and alcohol and oil (exempt from taxes and excise taxes) in the dashing 90s, how he, the head of the gangster empire of the Russian Orthodox Church, eliminated and liquidated his competitors, many have already written. Yes, yes, in those same dashing 90s, about which he once put it this way:
"The fact that a huge role in correcting this the crookedness of our history(the dashing 90s) were played by you personally, Vladimir Vladimirovich. I would like to thank you. You once said that you work like a slave in the galleys, with the only difference being that the slave did not have such a return, but you have a very high return.”
All patriarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church, including the current one, are KGB officers:
During the criminal tobacco war of the 90s, the winner of which was the future Patriarch, and then the head of the shadow business of the Russian Orthodox Church, Vladimir Gundyaev, many people were killed, including Zhirinovsky’s assistant Gennady Dzen, a bandit from Smolensk, the head of Roscontractpostavka, and another his assistant, Alexander Frantskevich. Zhirik himself also took part in this war. In those years, Gundyaev was assigned the thieves' pogonyalovo "Tabachny", but now he is more often called by another nickname - Lyzhneg, because he loves to go skiing in the soulless geyrop country of evergreen doormen of Switzerland, where he has his own villa, to which he flies on his own plane .
Materials from the KGB archives, studied in 1992 by a parliamentary commission headed by dissident priest Fr. Gleb Yakunin, revealed that most of the church hierarchy had ties to the secret police.
62-year-old Kirill Gundyaev bore the code name "Mikhailov", and Filaret was identified as agent "Ostrovsky". It is suspected that Kliment worked for the KGB under the pseudonym "Topaz".
Metropolitan Filaret, appointed Metropolitan of Minsk in 1978, was the head of the Department for External Church Relations in the eighties. In 1989, this powerful structure was headed by Metropolitan Kirill.
At the beginning of 1992, a commission of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of Russia officially drew the attention of the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church to the “deep infiltration of intelligence agencies” into the Church, which “represents a serious danger to society and the state.” That same year, meeting with Moscow State University students, Kirill asserted: “The fact of a meeting between the clergy and KGB representatives is morally indifferent.”
In addition to the villa in Switzerland, the Tobacco Ski-Patriarch has palaces in Peredelkino, in the Danilov Monastery, in Gelendzhik, next to Putin’s palace, and a penthouse with a terrace in the House on the Embankment - overlooking the Cathedral of Christ the Savior:
And the former right hand of his Eminence, Bishop Victor (in the world - Pyankov), now, having stolen, lives in the sinful States as a private person. Surely he indulges in fasting and prayers and, as Zhvanetsky said, “he’s terribly sorry.”
Read more in Novaya Gazeta, and also or see for yourself:
Since then, Gundyaev’s palace near Gelendzhik, for the sake of which a protected forest of red and other unique trees was cut down, has long been built. This is how the main priest of Russian morality lives:
Kirill’s residence, which occupied the entire territory from the sea to the highway, not only “gnawed off” half a kilometer of public shoreline and road, but also blocked people’s last opportunity for safe access to the forest and cemetery. Now they need to make a detour not a kilometer long, but three kilometers (!), one of which is along the highway.
This road was called “The Road of Death” because people die on it.
And all so that someone could stick out their belly and no one could see it.
When the Rev. Comrade came from Gebnya. Gundyaev, who replaced Alexy II, who was killed by him, the area of the residence increased 10 times (!), and 12.7 hectares of the State Forest Fund, covered with relict Pitsunda pine, were transferred for development, cutting down and complete fencing of the church, which were to be built up, cut down or fenced off THE LAW PROHIBITS IN PRINCIPLE.
Read about how the community tried to fight against all these lawlessness for many years, it contains a lot of details, links, photographs and documents.
The Patriarch still loves not only to teach people about life (well, for example: “ It is very important to learn Christian asceticism... Asceticism is the ability to regulate one’s consumption... This is a person’s victory over lust, over passions, over instinct. And it is important that both rich and poor possess this quality"), but also to brag about corruption and brand corrupt officials:
Asceticism is a good thing, especially when your fortune is 4 times greater than that of Rottenberg Sr. and 8 times that of Rottenberg Jr., and this does not even take into account the cost of the almost billion-dollar palace in Gelendzhik.
Such an ascetic Caudla...
P.S. As the famous philosopher Boris Paramonov writes, what Patriarch Gundyaev has in common with the spiritless geyropa is not only that he skis there, like Pastor Shlak. As it turns out, the patriarch himself is:
“We could talk about similar scandals in the Russian Orthodox Church. But here Deacon Kuraev has already said a lot. Except to remember that Metropolitan Nikodim (Rotov) of Leningrad was a homosexual, which everyone knew about, even my church-going mother-in-law. The current patriarch was with him, as they say in church language, “a night cell attendant” or, as it is written in Wikipedia, “performed the obedience of a personal secretary.”
The Pope has already renounced the cross,
and Patriarch Kirill improved it!
Earlier we already noticed the strange gesture of Pope Francis... who replaced his Cross with Jesus... with a certain shepherd of the Flock (cattle?)
http://cont.ws/post/212570
However, an equally “strange” fact from the biography of Patriarch Kirill became known - it turns out that he Mom had a maiden name Vekselman! And this means that our patriarch is from the Russian Orthodox Church... - halakhic Jew (!) Well, this then explains a lot (his servile “meeting” with Pope Francis, in particular!)... as well as the “improved” cross on the Head of the Patriarch, as well as the lack of general education and a MORE THAN STRANGE attraction to ecumenism.
Quote: “...Let us at least remember the speech on September 21, 2010 by Metropolitan Kirill - Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyaev, who publicly called the Slavs beasts. And this becomes understandable and explainable if you know the maiden name of Kirill’s mother - Vekselman. Everything comes primarily from the human gene pool. If a person is half-animal by nature, he will behave accordingly...”

Vladimir Gundyaev - Bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church (Stages of the Great Path!)
1) BEFORE starting your church activities graduated from eight grades of high school. He also tried himself in geology - from 1962 he worked as a cartographic technician in the Leningrad Geological Expedition. After three years of fruitful work, he entered the theological seminary, and upon graduation, the theological academy of the city of Leningrad.
In 1969, Vladimir was tonsured a monk and named Kirill. A year later, he graduated from the academy with honors, having a candidate's degree in theology. In 1971, Hieromonk Kirill was elevated to the rank of archimandrite. A great achievement of his path was the appointment of Kirill as the representative of the Moscow Patriarch in Geneva, where the World Council of Churches is taking place. (more than a strange and dizzying career in 2 years from a simple monk to an archimandrite!!!)
One of the first scandals that arose with the mention of the name of Metropolitan Kirill was the case of the use of tax breaks on the import of alcohol and tobacco products in the early 90s. Novaya Gazeta published an article that spoke of the Metropolitan’s personal interest in transactions for the import of excisable goods. However, the vast majority of religious leaders said that this was nothing more than a provocation; a planned campaign that aims to tarnish the name of an honest man.
Metropolitan Kirill was also accused of having connections with the KGB. In 2003, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin received a letter that directly stated that Kirill was a KGB agent. The author of the letter was a priest of the Moscow Helsinki Group, but his provocation did not bring any results.
In 2012, a new scandal arose with the name of Patriarch Kirill related to an apartment he owned. His second cousin, registered with the Patriarch, sued her neighbor because, according to her, construction dust from his apartment contained harmful substances and was hazardous to health. The total amount of damage was about 20 million rubles. The Patriarch himself, in response to thorny questions about the vow of non-covetousness replied that he personally had nothing to do with his sister’s lawsuit. He considers all the noise raised on this issue aimed at undermining his authority and humiliating the Russian Orthodox Church as a whole.

In the church there are very strict canons and laws, to violate which means to place yourself both outside the church and outside Christ.
However, these canons are very calmly violated by the last two “patriarchs”, both the departed Ridiger and the scandalous and odious Gundyaev.
The Orthodox shrug their shoulders, but..... remain silent.
Only recently did part of the priesthood come out against ecumenism, which has been developing in the Russian Orthodox Church since the 60s.
Few people know that Gundyaev’s spiritual teacher was the blue Metropolitan Nikodim (Rotov), who died as an ardent heretic at the feet of the Pope.
This is the same Nicodemus to whom one saint predicted during his lifetime: “You will die like a dog at the feet of the Pope.”
This is what it is now - the “Russian Church”.......
Not long ago, Izhevsk priests spoke out against the ecumenists (only against the ecumenists).
Gundyaev and his clique “excommunicated” them, and just like in the USSR, this entire flock of the false patriarch rallied around their “great master” the heretic Gundyaev and began barking in unison, drooling, red eyes lit up, claws and tails with teeth in their robes vigorously. scratched the ground.
There is a strong smell of sulfur, feces and smoke.
The heirs of communism became enraged en masse.
This whole pack of post-communist dogs felt that their thrones were shaking under them, that they were threatening to lose huge money to rich false bishops and priests in the MP.
The Mercedes and Bentleys in the palaces of these monks lurk in horror.
These are not poor rural priests from some unknown Udmurtia.
The well-fed does not understand the hungry - Moscow has its own problems, jamon, parmesan, moth in fur storage, small pearls, risotto and kohlrabi with Roquefort are not the same.....
Blessed are those who were exiled for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven - so said the Lord Himself.
If we look at other mortal sins of Gundyaev and others like him, we will see that the Russian Orthodox Church has not been in the country for a long time.
It’s not a wonder - what kind of Russian church can there be under the foreign regime of Putin’s foreigners in the Kremlin!

Rules of St. Apostle
62. If anyone from the clergy, fearing a man, a Jew, or a Greek, or a heretic, renounces the name of Christ: let him be rejected from the church.
65. If anyone from the clergy or layman enters a Jewish or heretical synagogue to pray: let him be expelled from the sacred rank and excommunicated from church communion.
70. If anyone, a bishop, or a presbyter, or a deacon, or in general from the list of clergy, fasts with the Jews, or celebrates with them, or accepts from them the gifts of their holidays, such as unleavened bread or something similar: let him be cast out. If he is a layman, let him be excommunicated.

Saint Anthony the Great (+358): “The time will come, my children, when the monks will leave the deserts and flow instead to rich cities, where instead of these deserted caves and cramped cells, proud buildings will be erected that can rival the chambers of kings; instead of poverty, the love of collecting wealth will increase; humility will be replaced by pride; many will be proud of knowledge, but naked, alien to good deeds corresponding to knowledge; love will grow cold; instead of abstinence, gluttony will increase, and many of them will care about luxurious dishes no less than the laity themselves, from whom the monks will not differ in anything other than their attire and headpiece, and, despite the fact that they will live among the laity, they will call themselves solitaries . Moreover, they will magnify themselves, saying: I am Pavlov, I am Apollosov, as if the whole strength of their monasticism lies in the dignity of their predecessors; they will be magnified by their fathers, as the Jews were by their father Abraham. But at that time there will also be those who will turn out to be much better and more perfect than us; for more blessed is he who could have transgressed and did not transgress, and did evil and did not do it, than he who was attracted to good by the mass of zealots striving for it.”
Saint Niphon of Constantinople (XV century): “In the last time, those who will truly serve God will safely hide themselves from people and will not perform signs and wonders among them, as at the present time, but will follow the path of work, dissolved in humility, and in the Kingdom There will be more Fathers in heaven, glorified by signs. My son! Until the end of the century the saints will not be destitute! But in recent years they will hide from people and will please God in such humility that they will appear in the Kingdom of Heaven higher than the first miraculous fathers. And such a reward will be for them because in those days there will be no one before their eyes who would work miracles, and people themselves will accept the zeal and fear of God in their hearts, for at that time the rank of bishop will not be skillful and will not become to love wisdom and reason, but will only care about self-interest. Monks will be like them from the possession of large estates; from vain glory their spiritual eyes will be darkened, and they will despise those who love God with all their hearts; the love of money will reign in them with all its strength. But woe to the monks who love gold: they will not see the Face of God! Monks and Belets, who give gold at interest, if they do not quickly stop this evil, will be called covetous here too, and their prayer will not be accepted, and fasting without benefit, and offering sacrifices to God, and alms - everything will be counted against them as abomination and defilement. They will walk along the broad path... But I don’t want to talk much about them. For I myself, from youth to old age, did not care about my salvation. Know then that all evil will increase from ignorance of the Scriptures.”
