Your spiritual guardian

We remind readers of some pages of the biography of Vasily Boyko-Veliky, who recently once again became the hero of the news.

The Ruzskoe Moloko company made a loud statement, explaining to consumers, why is the barcode crossed out on the packaging of her products red cross, the so-called Andreevsky. Thus the management of the company expresses his negative attitude towards the “number of the beast”, which, as it (management) believes available on barcodes [1] (since it is impossible to sell products without a barcode, Ruzsky Moloko you have to put on the packaging this sinister “seal of the Antichrist”).

Nothing surprising this is not. The owner of Ruza Moloko, Vasily Boiko-Veliky, is known to the general public for the fact that likes to appear in public in ancient Russian caftans embroidered with gold and morocco boots, as well as the fact that he forced all the employees of his firm get married and study the foundations of Orthodox culture [2] .

A long time ago, in the mid 80's Vasily Boyko (then still without the prefix "Great") graduated from the Moscow Institute of Engineering Physics with a degree in Theoretical and Nuclear Physics and worked on research in plasma physics. But "perestroika" broke out, and the failed young scientist became quite a successful entrepreneur. In 1992 year he organized the company "Your Financial Trustee", which exists still.

Troubles in the way of businessman Vasily Boyko to success began in 2007. Territorial dispute over land in Ruzsky district led the head of the company "Your Financial Trustee" to prison. Before the case did not reach the court, Boyko was released in 2009. Stay in dungeons of the regime had an absolutely indelible impression on the former physicist. After leaving prison, he changes his surname to "Boyko-Veliky", begins to wear caftans and becomes devoutly Orthodox.

However, land disputes in the Ruza district did not end even after the Boyko-Veliky to freedom. January 5 and 6, 2012 near the village of Krivosheino in Ruza district in a collision with the use of traumatic weapons participated at least 50 people [3] .

January 21, 2012 year, the Ruzskoye Moloko company held an “Orthodox rally” on the embankment Taras Shevchenko, where there was a demand to protect the company from "police lawlessness." At the action, it was announced the creation of the party "People's Movement "Saint Rus” (of course, Orthodox). Those gathered were blessed by the miter archpriest Alexey Averyanov, spiritual mentor of Vasily Boyko-Veliky.

Archpriest Alexey Averyanov himself deserves close attention. As it became known from various sources, 1990 Averyanov was a priest of the Russian Orthodox church, then came under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCOR), from where he was expelled in 1996 for bigamy.

Deprivation of dignity Averyanov did not recognize and since then serves independently.

In the early 90s, father was known for close contacts with the famous National Patriotic front "Memory", which in 1992-1993 shared its headquarters with The Synodal Metochion of the ROCOR in the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent [4] .

Averyanov family associated with Boyko-Great close ties. The priest's son - John Averyanov, general director of CJSC "Your financial trustee" [5] . Wife, Valentina Averyanova - owner of the Russian clothing salon "Valentina's House Averyanova, where they sew those very intricate caftans in which flaunts on political get-togethers "Orthodox businessman" [6] .

Crossed-out barcode is not the only innovation of a fanatical entrepreneur. In recent years Boyko-Veliky, under the sensitive spiritual guidance of Averyanov, more than once became hero of the day. At the end of 2013, he called for removal from the Tretyakov Gallery Repin's painting "Ivan the Terrible Kills His Son", announced the award a year earlier for revealing the names of the participants in the punk prayer service in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior [7] .

They also distinguished themselves by an even more bizarre initiative - an "attempt to reform" the Holy Scriptures. Boyko-Veliky and Averyanov proposed to change the 50th psalm: "let the walls of the Kremlin be built" instead of the "wall of Jerusalem" - before time, when the normalization of the political life of Russia [8] .

What else will surprise the public with an odious entrepreneur under sensitive spiritual guidance - one can only guess. However, it is possible rejoice that Vasily Boyko-Great authorities do not seem to perceive seriously.
