On September 19, 2010, specially hired divers (scuba divers in our opinion) dived into the cold waters of Avacha Bay. They caught a lot of sea urchins from which they extracted valuable caviar to make a vodka tincture for the main Pope of Russia. It turns out that His Holiness is a great gourmet. He loves not only raw hedgehog caviar, but also alcohol tincture on caviar, because it increases immune defense and... potency. This is what a scuba diver who participated in poaching sea urchins for the patriarch told me. They were hired by local fishing magnates, and they were asked to provide rare caviar to the main leader of the Russian Orthodox Church by people in civilian clothes.
By the way, when Patriarch Kirill was here, many could see that he tried to hide his famous watch on his left hand.
Where does he get such a love for expensive things, luxury apartments, where citizen Gundyaev fell in love with skiing? After all, back in 1969 he was tonsured a monk and took a vow of non-covetousness? Those. in a simple way - nothing should belong to him, neither a car, nor an apartment. Only churches.
It turns out that back in the 70s, priest Kirill worked in Switzerland in Geneva at the World Council of Churches. He was deputy to the Patriarchal Exarch of Western Europe, Metropolitan Nikodim (the exarchate is based in Paris), managing the patriarchal parishes in Finland. This is where the rumors about his connections with the KGB came from. The USSR had, in addition to diplomatic ones, various trade missions, Aeroflot, Intourist, Marine, as well as media offices, etc. Where the Kagebists certainly launched their tentacles. There were probably people in civilian clothes in the World Council of Churches from the Russian Orthodox Church in Geneva.
