The brother of Alexei Batalov revealed details of the actor’s personal life. Archpriest Mikhail Ardov vs Deacon Andrey Kuraev Do you think the role of the Russian Orthodox Church will grow or decline

Mikhail Ardov is a modern Russian memoirist, publicist and writer. He is a cleric of the so-called Suzdal Schism - a non-canonical Orthodox Autonomous Church. However, until 1993 he was a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church, serving in the Moscow and Yaroslavl dioceses.

Biography

Mikhail Ardov (photo above) was born into the family of actress Nina Olshevskaya and writer Viktor Ardov. In 1960, he graduated from Moscow State University (faculty of journalism) and works as a professional writer. Four years later he was baptized and in 1967 became a subdeacon in the Scorbaschensky Church, located on Ordynka. In 1980, in Yaroslavl, he was ordained as a deacon, and on Easter that same year he was ordained a priest.

In the summer of 1993, he left the Moscow Patriarchate and became a cleric of the Suzdal schism. In September 2006, Mikhail Ardov, in one of the programs on the ATV channel ("Author's Television"), aroused criticism of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church (Suzdal Schism). This was covered in several newspapers and news portals.

Life position

In the early nineties, the Izvestia newspaper published an article authored by Mikhail Ardov. In it, he spoke negatively about the beginning of construction of the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior; Ardov even vowed never to go to this temple. Later, the writer and publicist joked about it more than once, giving it the name “Temple of Luzhk the Builder” (note: construction was started by Yuri Luzhkov, who was the mayor of the capital in those years). Also, his joke circulated on the Internet for a long time that the architect Ton first built a temple on this site, and the second temple was built by the architect Moveton.

In 2012, Ardov announced that he does not recognize the Olympic Games and any other sporting competitions, and also believes that physical education and sports are unacceptable for Christians. He says that even innocent competitions, such as equestrian sports, are in fact spectacles, and a true Christian should not be a fan or a fan. He repeatedly spoke negatively about many cultural figures, painters and poets.

Ardov and Akhmatova

The great poetess was a close person to Mikhail Ardov and his brother. He says that Anna Andreevna raised them, explained the subtleties of the Russian language, for example, the difference between the verbs “put on” and “dress.” Akhmatova lived in a house on Ordynka. In the fifties, Pasternak often came to visit her; he read for her and for everyone present "Faust" in his translation and the first chapters of the novel "Doctor Zhivago", which remained the only one for the poet. Solzhenitsyn occasionally visited them, and Brodsky was a friend of their family.

Thus, from childhood he was not just in a creative atmosphere, this atmosphere was high-level. The future writer had someone to look up to. Ardov admits that, most likely, this is why he never wrote good poetry: when Anna Akhmatova lives in the next room behind the wall, and Pasternak comes to see her, serious things don’t happen.

Creation

More than a dozen books have been published under the authorship of Mikhail Ardov. "The Legendary Ordynka" was published in 1997 (Inapres publishing house). This is a collection of memories about life in their Moscow house, where many cultural figures came. The tragic historical period is presented here by Ardov from an unexpected and ironic perspective. The book includes the story “The Legendary Ordynka” by Ardov, as well as the story “Next to Akhmatova” by Alexei Batalov.

Another book telling about the same time is called “Around Ordynka: memoirs, stories.” The author again finds optimistic notes in the tragic and hopeless atmosphere of difficult times, emphasizes the funny, shows famous people without museum glitz and gloss, talks about them as witty and unbending individuals. The book tells about Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak, Dmitry Shostakovich, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Faina Ranevskaya, Korney Chukovsky, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Lydia Ruslanova and others. All of them come to life thanks to the author's keen and vivid memory.

Ardov writes in different genres, but his memoirs are most in demand. Communicating with the great figures of the Silver Age, he received an excellent additional education; they instilled in him a sense of taste for art, and the talent of a writer inherited from his father helped to put his memories into literary form.

Edition

Mikhail Ardov's books are popular among lovers of memoirs. The first book published was “Little things of archi..., proto... and simply priestly life” in 1995. Then, for several years in a row, his memoirs about life on Ordynka were published. “The Legendary Ordynka” in collaboration with relatives, Alexei Batalov and Boris Ardov, “Return to Ordynka”.

In 2004, Mikhail Ardov published a book about Shostakovich, written based on the memories of his daughter Galina, son Maxim and Mikhail Ardov himself. A year later, “Mother Nadezhda and Other True Stories” was published, and in 2005, “A Monograph about a Graphomaniac.” In 2006, the book “Everything is for the Better...” was published, and in 2008, “From Your Bell Tower”.

Often in search queries you can see one of the books authored by Mikhail Ardov. “Notes from the Dungeon” is the erroneous name for one of his last books, but the correct title is “Notes of a Cemetery Priest.”

Family

Mikhail Ardov was born into a creative family. Mother and father are talented actress and writer. His older brother on his mother's side is Alexey Batalov, also a famous actor. They were really close, and when his brother died, Mikhail was one of the first to know about it. Alexey was in a sanatorium, undergoing rehabilitation, recovering from a hip fracture. The younger brother saw that the strength of the people's artist was melting before his eyes. According to him, Alexei Batalov himself understood that there was not long left, he saw both himself and his condition, although he always perked up during the conversation. The actor died calmly, in his sleep.

The Ardov family (father's real name was Zigberman) lived in Lavrushinsky Lane until 1938, after which they moved to their famous house on Bolshaya Ordynka, and in the sixties they moved again, this time to Golikovsky Lane. Viktor Ardov was a talented person, but he was unable to realize his potential during Soviet times. For some time it was not published at all, only sometimes collections of humorous stories were published, but this, according to Mikhail, was a drop in the ocean. At that time, all satirists were punished, and Victor was not even published in the Krokodil magazine, of which he was one of the founders and for some period served as editor-in-chief.

Viktor Ardov fully felt the yoke of Soviet censorship. He wrote several scripts for films, and his plays were staged at the Satire Theater. However, all these small joys occurred on top of family tragedies. Olshanskaya’s parents were arrested precisely at this time; they could not bear the hardships of prison life. My grandfather on my father’s side was shot back in the twenties.

Father's influence

The media at that time also published articles only that were pleasing to the government, which is why Mikhail Ardov, whose biography and personal life were always very eventful, never worked in journalism. When he entered the journalism department, he almost immediately switched to the editorial and publishing department, precisely out of a desire to be away from radio and newspapers. After graduating from Moscow State University for a year and a half, his place of work was the department of satire and humor at the All-Union Radio.

His father's surname helped him at certain moments, but there were also times when it got in the way, since many did not like Victor. Mikhail Ardov admits that he considers acting a shame, although his mother and older brother work in this profession. This worldview, however, did not prevent him from maintaining excellent relations with Alexei Batalov. In one of the books, he often quoted him and inserted moments from his biography.

Christianity

Mikhail Ardov received baptism at a fairly late age and says that this happened partly under the influence of Akhmatova and all Russian literature in general. Quite quickly he realized that at that time there were very few good priests around, and he could replenish their camp. He admits that even life became easier, since many secular laws of life did not apply to clergy, they did not go to party meetings, they were treated as crazy or as swindlers. However, Ardov tolerated this easily.

In the nineties, he, along with like-minded people, believed that if communism falls, then all clergy should repent for “their behavior”, for indulging the authorities, but nothing happened. Ardov, together with a group of people, decided to join the Russian Church Abroad, but, according to him, it soon practically dissolved under the close supervision of the KGB.

Religion and creativity

Since Mikhail Ardov was ordained, he has not written works of art, only journalism and memoirs. He compares himself to Tolstoy, who stopped writing novels when he stopped being interested in love stories. Ardov says that once during a long flight to America he took with him a volume of Anna Karenina, but could not read it due to lack of interest, although the book is truly brilliant. But he loves to read memoirs.

He considers the religious component in books to be superfluous, so there is no emphasis on it in his work, perhaps that is why the clergyman’s books are so popular. He considers all his ideas from the everyday side, and not through the prism of religion.

The free newspaper Metro, published by a Swedish media holding, is fooling its readers in St. Petersburg. A column by Archpriest Mikhail Ardov appeared in it. Mikhail has a huge cross hanging on his chest, but you would be mistaken if you classify the columnist as a member of the Russian Orthodox Church. Metro is silent about the fact that he is not an archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church, but the ROAC is the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, non-canonical. However, Ardov considers the Russian Orthodox Church to be a non-canonical structure.

Original taken from kimura in Archpriests of de-Sovietization

Recently, the processes of de-Sovietization have literally begun to accelerate exponentially. These processes result in slanderous information campaigns, renaming of streets and other objects.
One of the powerful directions is to rethink the activities of General Vlasov.

Kiril Alexandrov defends his doctoral dissertation on the topic of the phenomenon of collaborationism http://arctus.livejournal.com/106374.html.
And Vesti.fm is already softly whitewashing Vlasov in its supposedly scientific programs http://friend.livejournal.com/2274320.html?view=74182672#t74182672.

There are also concrete attempts to include the Orthodox community in this struggle on the side of the de-Sovietizers. Our people have inner wisdom and, in general, understand that those who supposedly came from the Soviet “soul” are actually licking their lips in the style of Hitler’s solution to the Russian question.

Let's look at it in detail. So, first Ardov expresses his admiration for the work of M.A. Bulgakov. The archpriest notes the “Diaboliad”; this work in metaphorical form can be interpreted as an identification of the devilry and the early Soviet Union. It is not for nothing that Ardov draws a parallel with Kafka and his Kafkaesque bureaucracy.

Next, the author moves on to the writer’s most famous novel, “The Master and Margarita.” He immediately makes a reservation about the rejection of blasphemy in the dialogue between Yeshua Ha-Nozri and Pontius Pilate. And moves on to explain the rest of the novel. The essence of Ardov’s interpretation of the novel comes down to the identification of evil spirits with Soviet power. And only the threat of reprisals prevented Bulgakov from directly making the Lubyanka or the Kremlin the source of devilry, writes the author. One wonders how the archpriest has information about Bulgakov’s motives, especially such hidden ones.

Then Ardov reduces the motive for the activity of the literary “devils” in the work to Bulgakov’s resentment towards the surrounding bureaucracy, read the Soviet bureaucracy. And this supposed formation of motives by the writer leads the archpriest to the idea that Bulgakov hoped that the novel would be published. Any writer hopes for the publication of his works; this idea of ​​a publicist is not original.

It’s interesting here how the novel came out, what role Bulgakov’s wife Elena Sergeevna Shilovskaya played in its publication, and who she herself was. A deeper consideration of the topic of the publication of the work would distract from the topic of the post. What is interesting is what exactly Ardov had in mind when he called his note “A Knownly Authorized Masterpiece”; who authorized it? Ardov does not give an answer. I will only say one thing: the novel was first published in 1969 by the Posev publishing house in Frankfurt am Main. The publishing house was organized by the People's Labor Union (NTS) in 1945 in the American zone of occupation of Germany. Moreover, the novel is both anti-Orthodox and anti-communist, that is, extremely anti-Russian.

Archpriest Ardov interprets the novel in the spirit of not accepting blasphemy, but for part of the identification of evil spirits with the Soviet system, he calls the novel a masterpiece. How blasphemy and a masterpiece can coexist in the head of a believer at the same time is an open question.

In one of the next issues of the newspaper, Ardov’s text “The Lying Pen” was published, about the Soviet writer Marietta Shaginyan. In the text, Ardov expresses his negative position towards the writer, and this position is due to the fact that the writer was devoted to the “Lenin-Stalin cause.”

The central topic of the conversation was Stalin and repressions; in the conversation, Shaginyan defended Stalin. Ardov, through the mouth of his friend, tells an outright lie about 22 million killed. This lie about millions of people killed is read by millions of citizens who commute to work by subway. Moreover, this lie is told by a person with Orthodox rank, and people may perceive this as the official position of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC).

Who is Archpriest Mikhail Ardov? Born in 1937 in Moscow. Father Viktor Efimovich Zigberman, in the literary field, took the pseudonym Ardov. The ancestors of the Siegberman-Ardovs were, on the one hand, Sephardic Jews (a community formed in Spain), and on the other, German. Therefore, at first the pseudonym was Sephardov, later the first three letters dissolved. Mother Nina Olshevskaya, Soviet theater actress. By the way, the famous Soviet actor Alexei Batalov is the maternal brother of the discussed Mikhail Ardov.
In 1960 he graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. He was baptized in 1964, and in 1967 he became a subdeacon in the Skorobyashchensky Church on Ordynka. In 1980 he was awarded the rank of priest. In 1993, he left the Russian Orthodox Church and joined the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, becoming a cleric of the Suzdal diocese, headed by Valentin Rusantsov. In 1995, together with Rusantsov, he left the ROCOR. They created the Russian Orthodox Free Church, which in 1998 was renamed the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church. This church is not canonical.

Ardov himself speaks about the reasons for his churching on Radio Liberty as follows:

http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

For the ignorant, internal emigration is an evasion from participation in the political and social life of the state as a consequence of internal disagreement with the dominant ideology; unwillingness to follow the given rule; spiritual alienation from the state; an alternative to real emigration. That is, the motivator for leaving for Orthodoxy was not faith, but a radical rejection of the Soviet system, which prompted them to escape to another world.

There he expresses his attitude towards Stalin:

Ardov connects the ugliness of modernity with the activities of Stalin, and Stalin is to blame for the events in Ukraine, Stalin is to blame for everything, the damned one has reached out. The communists destroyed the Russian Empire, Ardov probably forgot that the empire existed until the February Revolution of 1917, and was renamed a republic. We see that Ardov does not accept not only what is Soviet, but also what is Russian. There is no “Russian World” for him, an interesting way to pose the question. What about Pushkin: " There is a Russian spirit, there is Russiasmells"! It's just that Archpriest Ardov knows more about Russianness than the great Russian poet. For the publicist, there is no crisis of religious identification, which was caused by the Modern project; it was this crisis, coupled with the incapacity of the elite, that led to February. I will note that it was February, not October. If it weren’t for him, they would still be living in the Russian Empire. And Zigberman, in my personal opinion, does not accept the “Russian world” because he chose communism.

But let's continue quoting:

Analyzing the above remark, it can be assumed that the departure from the Russian Orthodox Church is also due to the attitude towards Stalin. It was Joseph Vissarionovich who recreated the institution of the patriarchate in 1943. In this regard, Ardov declares that the Russian Orthodox Church is a non-canonical structure. Here the question immediately arises: which structure is canonical? With this formulation of the question, one can reach not only Peter I. Next, Ardov-Zigberman provides interesting information about the relationship between the KGB and the party in the formation of the Russian Orthodox Church. Further development of this topic would take us far beyond the scope of this post. Nevertheless, it is clear that the archpriest knows firsthand about the conflict between “brahmins” and “kshatriyas” in Soviet reality.

So, from the pages of one of the most popular newspapers, a publicist, as if speaking on behalf of the entire Orthodox community (no one will bother to figure out who Archpriest Mikhail Ardov is), pours out Russophobic poison on society. And if I were the hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church, I would think about this collision, since this poison suits their souls.

Archpriest Mikhail ARDOV:
" It is not profitable for the authorities to compromise the Church."

Mikhail Viktorovich ARDOV was born in 1937 in Moscow.
In 1960 he graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. He was a professional writer. In 1980, he was ordained in the Yaroslavl diocese of the Moscow Patriarchate, and subsequently served in the Moscow region. In the summer of 1993, he transferred to the Russian Church Abroad, becoming a clergyman of the Suzdal diocese, headed by His Grace Valentin (Rusantsov).

Interview - Andrey MOROZOV*

Mikhail Viktorovich, you served both in the Moscow Patriarchate and in the foreign Russian Orthodox Church. Now in your interviews you accuse both of them of being under the control of the KGB.

This is certainly true. If the foreign Church were not under this hood, then it would not have agreed to unite with other KGB officers.

- But the foreign Church did not come to reconciliation with the Russian Orthodox Church, accusing it of betrayal?

But now she doesn't blame. There was a coup there in 1985, and the KGB brought them to this point in order to seize property and subordinate them to the Moscow Patriarchate. It's very simple - Russian officials want to seize the huge property of a foreign church abroad and gain influence on emigration. According to Lenin’s law, which is still in effect in our country, the Church has no right to property; all property belongs to the state. And our officials are very greedy. At one time, in 1948, when Stalin helped Israel gain a place in the UN and international recognition, the Israelis, in gratitude for this, gave the Patriarchate, or rather, the Soviet state, all the property of the Church Abroad, which was located on the then territory of Israel. Subsequently, Khrushchev exchanged part of this property for oranges, which rotted on the way to Odessa. Now the Jerusalem City Hall stands on land that once belonged to the Russian Church.

- In one interview, you said that you do not recognize Patriarch Alexy II. Is this really true?

Certainly. How can I recognize him if he belongs to an organization that was founded by Stalin and Beria in 1943? He is an exposed KGB agent nicknamed "Drozdov" and, moreover, was elected to this post by order of KGB Chairman Kryuchkov.

- Why is the current government getting closer to the Russian Orthodox Church, and not to Muslims?

Our bosses for the most part belong to the Slavic ethnic group. The number of people in Russia who in one way or another consider themselves Orthodox is quite large. There are actually no more than three percent of true believers. But I believe that this is a very harmful alliance both for the authorities and for the Church. More precisely, this alliance is, of course, tactically beneficial for both the Church and our embezzlers, but strategically it is a huge mistake both for the authorities and for the Moscow Patriarchate. In fact, if the Patriarchate were not a corrupt pseudo-religious organization, but a real Church, it would stay as far away as possible from these thieving officials. But, alas...

- It’s somehow strange: you are talking about the Patriarchate, which is considered to be something spiritual, like the White House.

It's worse than the White House. The people who are there - but in this case we are not talking about ordinary priests and monks - are completely corrupt, cynical, very often depraved, and among them there are even unbelievers. This is an ugly organization. The fact that they did not even take half a step, having received freedom, towards repentance, says that they are corrupt people.

- Why is the Church today closed from society even more than the army?

I wouldn't say it's very closed. It is closed in terms of income and in terms of corruption. No one is simply interested in her. Nobody needs it except those who are in it.

- As far as I know from knowledgeable people, there are intrigues there too, and what other ones!

Of course, and this is all material for compromising evidence. That's why they are closed. For example, in Novaya Gazeta there was a publication that when the generals stole the money received from the sale of Western Group property, they spent the money through a pseudo-church fund. The criminal case was not brought to an end because it was necessary to arrest Metropolitan Kirill and his assistants. The authorities did not agree to this. And as soon as the money passed through this pseudo-religious fund, it immediately disappeared. It is clear that such things need to be hidden. It is not profitable for the authorities to compromise the Church. This is such a mutually beneficial alliance. The same hierarchs do not denounce thieves-governors and thieves-officials. This is a business partnership.

- You know, what strikes me most when I come to church is the difference between icons and priests. The icons show sorrow, but the faces of the priests are well-fed and satisfied.

- We live in the last Christian times. The world is sliding towards the apocalypse at very high speed. The Moscow Patriarchate is not only a False Church because it was founded by the atheist Stalin and his bandit henchmen, but also because it belongs to the so-called “World Orthodoxy”, that is, it is connected with modernists, ecumenists, with all those who, in the end, will constitute the religion of the Antichrist. There are no more Orthodox patriarchs in the world now; they are all mostly “New Calendarists”; among them is the Moscow Patriarch with his entire synod and his bishops. This is already a parody of the Church, this is not the Church.

No. There is also a genuine Church. Besides us, there are “catacombs”. There are “Old Calendarists” Greeks, Romanians, Bulgarians.

- What happens - everyone beats themselves on the chest and says: “Here I am a true Christian, but everyone else is not”?

Did you think it would be different? This was all predicted by the holy fathers, and the Gospel says that there will be false Christs, that there will be false prophets. There has never been anything simple and easy in spiritual life. Of course, something was always wrong, but there were no such ugly times as now.

Mikhail Viktorovich, and if it turns out that your Church becomes close to the authorities, like the current Russian Orthodox Church, will you then tell the authorities that it is criminal, and that officials are embezzlers?

This is the reason why they will never bring us closer. And we will never go there. We don't need this. In my sermons I say that we do not pray for power. We pray for the suffering, for the country, for its Russian and Orthodox people. And the Moscow Patriarchate prays for power. We pray for the country, but we cannot pray for such a government.

- Vysotsky has a line: “The domes in Rus' were always covered with pure gold, so that God would notice more often”...

I think she's pretty vulgar. By the way, I don’t take any of Vysotsky’s songs seriously, only humorous ones.

- Was Tolstoy right when he argued that the Church does not need so much gold?

Of course it's wrong. Without the Church you cannot be saved. We must be careful to belong to the true Church. If a person seeks the truth, then he will find the true Church. And if he needs Christianity for some other purposes - for peace of mind, for relaxation, or for some other base purposes, then he will not look for the true Church, but will be satisfied with what he meets on his way, for example, some beautiful temple , pseudo-spiritual father. False eldership also flourishes in the patriarchy, which disfigures human souls. Many are drawn to this because Soviet people are infantile and are not accustomed to any choice or responsibility; they are very happy if someone commands them.

- But there is not much gold in your temple.

What kind of gold is there!.. We need to build, make a dome, a bell tower. For the fourth year now, we have been coordinating documents and an architectural design with Luzhkov officials. In my opinion, Luzhkov surpassed Kafka in many ways. Our money is spent not on gold, not on decorating the temple, but on bribes.

Judging by the literature, in Tsarist Russia society was very religious. And if you read religious literature, there were miracles. Why are there no miracles now? Not enough faith?

Miracles still happen, but no one notices them. And the audience that would watch this has narrowed. But there was a lot of bad things in Tsarist Russia. If everything had been so good, then neither Russia nor the Church would have collapsed. John of Kronstadt and his predecessors predicted what would happen to Russia if the Russian people did not repent and return to the fold of the Orthodox Church. This mainly concerned, of course, the educated class, the intelligentsia. But it was they who finished off Russia.

- Judging by the same literature, it can be assumed that by the 17th year the people were losing patience not only with the tsar and landowners, but also with the priests. It’s no secret that they were popularly called “world-eaters” or “parasites.”

The Russian intelligentsia, which is to blame for the national catastrophe, has been deliberately corrupting the people since the 19th century. The fruits of this corruption could not but be felt. There was such a wonderful bishop and preacher Ambrose of Kharkov. He said: “You can not only predict, but also calculate when a catastrophe will occur, when the fall of the Russian people will occur. This will be when there will be more people who are excommunicated from Christianity and are engaged in fashionable enlightenment than Christian moral people.” This balance was just disrupted by the 17th year. By that time, the best believers, loyal to their monarch, had died in the war. Then those moral people who joined the white movement were also either killed or forced to emigrate. So all this, as you see, was predicted. Even with amazing details. So, for example, somewhere in 1907, Archbishop Anthony Khrapovitsky, who later became metropolitan and founder of the Church Abroad, said in his sermon: “If there is no monarchy in Russia, then all nationalities will demand autonomy. Even such nationalities will demand autonomy. of whom we don’t hear anything now, for example, the Kazan Tatars.” This was predicted in 1907. But, unfortunately, Russian intelligentsia like Alexander Blok preferred to “listen to the revolution.” Well, we've heard enough.

“It ended very sadly for him.”

For everyone, not just him. He wrote the satanic poem "The Twelve" and faded away in his prime.

- Why don’t you like the Russian intelligentsia so much?

Because it was she who destroyed Russia. She overthrew the empire and the Church.

- But you’re not a worker yourself, are you?

It doesn't matter who is from where. You need to be objective. Indeed, the Russian intelligentsia bears the greatest sin against Russia. She overthrew the empire and died under its ruins. Bandits like Lenin, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky came to power, and they took good care of destroying the intelligentsia. After all, Lenin is not just a fiend from hell. Lenin is a Russian intellectual taken to his logical conclusion.

- Maybe you're right. If you read Rozanov’s “Solitary,” you can only wonder: why would the intelligentsia propose to reform the Church at their religious meetings? The same Rozanov suggested organizing wedding nights in the temple, albeit in a special chapel.

All this was monstrous... Rozanov is generally a rather stinking figure, at the end of his life he repented... This is a man without any convictions - either he glorified the Jews, then he became an anti-Semite, then he glorified Russian priests, then he condemned the Church.

- Why, by the way, is anti-Semitism so developed among churchmen?

This is not characteristic of the Church, it is characteristic of almost all nations. During the war, Stalin sent Mikhoels to the United States to collect money from Jews for the Red Army. He made quite a lot of money there. Einstein received him and asked: “Does anti-Semitism exist in the Soviet Union?” Mikhoels arrived as a Stalinist agitator and began to say that in the Soviet Union all nations are equal, to which Einstein told him: “Leave it, I know that anti-Semitism is the shadow of the Jewish people, which it casts wherever it appears.” In addition, it so happened, and this is understandable, that among the Bolsheviks, revolutionaries, and then the security officers there was an incredibly huge percentage of Jews. Then, however, they also paid for it by killing each other. So it's a natural human reaction. In addition, according to Berdyaev, whom I dislike, but here I completely agree with him, Christianity is tolerant of any nationality, for Christianity there is no nationality, but the Jewish people are an exception, because the Mother of God was a Jew, Christ was incarnated among the Jewish people, and the Jews will be the Antichrist. Therefore, Christianity treats Jews with particular caution.

- Is it true that in Israel it is almost criminally prohibited to preach Christianity?

No, not criminal. But those priests who baptize Jews do get into trouble. But on what legal basis this is being done, I don’t know. Proselytism is not very welcome there. It is clear that this is an instinct of self-preservation.

When perestroika began, the enormous interest in the Church was somehow understandable: people had lost faith in the CPSU, and the Church could take this place. But how can we explain the almost indifferent attitude towards the Church today?

Christianity was forbidden fruit, so it attracted some interest. But this interest dissipated after 1988, after the millennium of the baptism of Rus' was magnificently celebrated. The Moscow Patriarchate was not ready for this and missed this moment. They did not repent and did not really do anything to attract even more people, and they could not do this, because at that time they did not have enough educated people capable of preaching in the modern world. Accordingly, interest gradually began to fade away. Yes, it was not deep, because modern people have no serious religious

The Universe is a living organism, but created, and God is Living, not created and not born, pre-eternal, the very creator of the life of the Universe. The named totality defines the concept of “Life” in the most extreme way...">life is not needed - they are all busy pursuing earthly goods following the example of Western societies. In our country, only 3 percent of the population goes to Orthodox churches. It is clear that under the communists there were atheists , and churches were destroyed, priests were killed. But in England the same 3 percent go to Anglican-Catholic churches. This is a normal percentage for the modern Christian world, it will decrease even more. For example, Moscow, a city with a population of 12 million people. In Moscow 150 thousand, at best 200 thousand people come to churches on Easter night, and anyone who does not go to church on Easter night is not considered an Orthodox person.

- You said several times that the Russian Orthodox Church has not repented. What exactly should she repent of?

They are not Christians, but heretics, hustlers. Christianity begins with repentance. Here is the definition of Christianity given by John Chrysostom: “A Christian is a repentant person.” But they don’t repent. In this they are even more stupid than the CPSU, which is similar to them. There, at least, their predecessors were condemned and some mistakes were admitted. Even Zyuganov now says that what they did was wrong, that they killed priests and closed churches. They are not even able to condemn their predecessors, who congratulated Stalin on his 70th birthday in a completely servile, shameful tone. They could not even condemn such things as the glorification of Stalin, because these people are not capable of repentance, and since they are not capable of repentance, it means that they have nothing to do with Christianity.

- I managed to visit, probably, the holiest place in Russia - Optina Hermitage...

This is not the holiest place in Russia.

- May be. Nevertheless, Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Leo Tolstoy came there. But I had a strange feeling that this was such an exemplary monastery.

The fact is that there are no genuine monasteries in Russia. Either these are tourist centers or kibbutzim. Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov, a real monk, said that “monasticism is a feat not given to our time.” He predicted that there would be a fall of the monasteries. And indeed, the fall occurred, all monasteries in Russia were closed. Those who are in monasteries today are very far from monasticism; there are no genuine monks now and there cannot be. The Old Calendar Greeks have several monasteries and several monasteries on Mount Athos, but this is “a feat not given to our time.”

You are a prominent publicist, and it is interesting to read your memories of Akhmatova, your thoughts about literature. But it’s somehow awkward to read how you trashed the novel “The Master and Margarita” in just a few pages. Researchers are writing volumes about this novel, and you crossed out everything in a few pages.

This is a monstrous, blasphemous work. What does Bulgakov write about Christ? That he was not the Son of God. He refutes all the evangelists. This is a satanic novel. Devils are brought out as positive heroes, and at the center of this novel there is a black satanic mass with ritual murder, with this cup from Berlioz's head. And besides, this is an unsuccessful thing, a literary failure. The ends don't meet there. Thank God it went out of fashion, and I think it will soon be forgotten.

- Well, if we remembered about devils, then I would like to ask: why have all sorts of satanic sects spread so much? Why are they so attractive?

Of course, this is much easier than the Christian feat of fasting and prayer. Then all this is surrounded by some kind of halo, young people are generally prone to negativism, it is quite easy to lure them there, because all this happens at night, in some kind of clothes. But how many young people are seduced by this scoundrel Limonov! I don't care what he writes. I imagine the unfortunate parents of those children whom he sends either to Latvia or somewhere else to misbehave, and then they are sent to prison. It ruins their life.

- Tell me, does anyone who is not involved in the Church and is not baptized pass into the power of the devil?

No. You can't say that. But it is certain that those who do not seek salvation in the church fall under its power to one degree or another. The power of the world is the power of the devil. That is, a person who lives in worldly concerns and does not care about his salvation, of course, is in the power of the devil. But there are conscious Satanists, adherents of vile cults, and there are passive ones who simply live to get rich, have dachas, cars, debauchery, and overeat. Here they are in the power of the devil.

- And who do you think is more numerous on earth now?

At all times, there were more people who did not think about their salvation and did not want to think. Christianity is an unnatural religion. Everything that sinful human nature desires is prohibited in Christianity. Accordingly, there have been very few true Christians at all times. While there were Christian empires in the Middle Ages and those who are called today the elite of society were to some extent oriented towards the church and salvation, ordinary people were drawn to this. After all, there were holy princes and righteous landowners, there were merchants - pious temple builders. And now everyone sees that influential and educated people are busy organizing their earthly affairs. That's why everyone else is doing it.

A person enters a church, sees all this splendor, sees the satisfied faces of the priests... How can he distinguish: where is the false Church and where is the true Church?

To do this you need to read Christian books. As for gold, in the Old Testament the Lord also ordered that gold be brought to the temple and jewelry made from the most precious materials. Gold should not confuse anyone; its absence or presence does not add anything. A person who wants to work on his salvation should not look at priestly vestments or decorations of icons, but should read books, listen to sermons and see how much this corresponds to the teachings of the Orthodox Church. Where it corresponds, there is truth.

The famous Boris from “The Cranes Are Flying” and Gosha from the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” was a unique actor and a very private person, he didn’t want to talk about personal things.

For the first time, Alexei Batalov’s brother revealed details of the artist’s private life.

Father Mikhail, known in the world as Mikhail Ardov, is the younger brother of Alexei Batalov. The famous actor and he have the same mother, but different fathers. They were truly close people with Batalov.

Mikhail Ardov: “Our connection was never interrupted, I tried to visit them.”

My brother was one of the first to know about the death of Alexei Batalov. The People's Artist died in his sleep in a sanatorium, where he was undergoing rehabilitation after a hip fracture. The brother saw that the people's artist was fading away.

Mikhail Ardov: “When I last visited him three weeks ago in the hospital, he was completely unwell. And such a pale face that I have never seen such a pale face on any person in my life. He perked up and smiled. He laughed when I joked, but I realized that this was not far away.”

His wife Gitana fought for the actor’s life until the very last day. She believed: Alexei Batalov would return home and hug his daughter. Alexey Batalov was the main breadwinner of the family. The actor’s daughter, 49-year-old Maria, is a disabled person from childhood. She has cerebral palsy. Batalova’s wife, a former circus performer, devoted herself entirely to caring for her only child. And now friends are worried about who will take care of his family after Batalov’s death.

Natalya Drozhzhina, actress: “They told Masha right away at seven o’clock in the morning. She just cries. You know, it's very difficult for her to talk. They say: “We don’t even know how to live further.”

Batalov’s brother suggests that the actor’s daughter from his first marriage will help the widow take care of Maria. Nadezhda is 62 years old, she already has her own children and grandchildren.

Contrary to rumors, the People's Artist never abandoned his first wife and eldest daughter. I didn’t consider it necessary to simply explain how things happened.

Mikhail Ardov: “Complete lies. His first wife left him on her own. My mother told him about this, and he sat and cried. We had a wonderful dog - the dachshund Tsigel. He came up and howled and sympathized. I can’t forget this scene.”

A family friend confirms: the eldest and youngest daughters of Alexei Batalov were friends and met on holidays.

Natalya Drozhzhina: “Every year Masha loved to celebrate her birthday at the House of Writers. And she always invited Nadya. Nadya came with flowers and gifts. I saw how Alexey Vladimirovich hugged and kissed her.”

According to friends, Alexey Batalov indicated both daughters in his will. True, with one caveat. All the little property that the actor acquired during his lifetime, namely the apartment and the dacha, will first go to the youngest, 49-year-old Maria, and after her death the property will be inherited by the eldest, 62-year-old Nadezhda.

Farewell to Alexei Batalov will take place on June 19, the people's artist will be buried at Preobrazhenskoye Cemetery. The People's Artist was 88 years old.

Ardov clan

Humorist writer, screenwriter, cartoonist Viktor Ardov - Jewish

Viktor Efimovich Zigberman (writing under the pseudonym Viktor Ardov) was born in 1900 in Voronezh, in the Russian Empire. In some sources, Radov's real surname is given incorrectly - Zilberman. That's right - Siegberman. Viktor Efimovich Zigberman is Jewish by nationality. Father - railway engineer, graduate of the Kharkov Institute of Technology - Jewish Efim Moiseevich Zigberman. In those years, he was a member of the economic board of the Voronezh Jewish community.

The city of Voronezh was located outside the “Pale of Settlement,” but gradually the clever Jews penetrated there, multiplied greatly, and strengthened themselves. For example, the famous Jew Vladimir Aleksandrovich Goldstein in Voronezh ended up here around 1840. At first a printing worker, then he converted to Orthodoxy, was assigned to the guild artisans, at the end of 1850 the Jew became a merchant of the 2nd guild, then he opened “lithography and metallography,” and already in May 1859 he founded the first private printing house in the city. Goldstein was the publisher of the first private newspaper in the province, “Voronezh Leaflet,” and then published the “Voronezh Inquiry Leaflet.” Since 1869, this Jew became the publisher of the Voronezh Telegraph newspaper, the largest and most respectable newspaper in the city, published until June 1918. He successfully zombified the Russian population of the province, especially the upper class. There were pogroms in 1905, but in Voronezh they were small. In Voronezh, Jewish merchants, Jewish bankers, Jewish doctors, Jewish engineers, Jewish officials multiplied... The ancestors of the children's Jewish writer Marshak and the Soviet Jewish writer Baklanov lived here... When the Cadet Party appeared, the Jews rushed there too. The Jewish Efim Zigberman also became a member of the Cadet Party...
(Brief history of the Voronezh Jewish community of the 19th-20th centuries). http://base.ijc.ru/new/site.aspx?IID=47933&SECTIONID=47912&STID=248594

Actress and “TV star” Anna Ardova recalls:
- My grandfather Viktor Ardov had ancestors on the one hand, German Jews, on the other, Sephardic Jews. (Sephardim are a subethnic community of Jews formed in Spain). By the way, my grandfather’s real name is Siegberman. That is, I, in theory, was supposed to become Anna Borisovna Zigberman. Sounds nice. But since in Soviet times it was not very welcome to be a Jew or have a Jewish surname, the grandfather-writer first decided to become a Sephardov, and then the first three letters disappeared by themselves and it turned out to be Ardov...

From the memoirs of Ernst Edel, a former employee of Crocodile magazine:

Who are you, Viktor Ardov?

Drunk A. Tvardovsky saw Viktor Ardov in the House of Writers: “Somehow I don’t like your last name...” Ardov immediately answered: “That’s because it is the middle of yours!” Probably, the author of “Terkin” meant that “Ardov” is a pseudonym. It seems that Ardov himself forgot his real name, a Jewish one? He was generally known as an ideological assimilationist, believing that Jewish names and surnames were unpleasant to the Russian ear. By this logic, all nationalities (nationalities) of the USSR should become Ivanovs and Petrovs? I didn't agree with this. But writers and other Jewish figures, hiding behind Russian pseudonyms, remained, as it were, in eternal underground, under nicknames like criminals.
(Ernst Edel. Intellectual tales from Edel. Archive, No. 10 (22), October 2002).
http://www.florida-rus.com/archive-text/10-02edel.htm

Maybe Ardov was an “assimilate”, maybe he was embarrassed by the surname Zigberman, maybe he changed his surname in the interests of his career... Ardov preferred to keep a low profile on this topic.

Voronezh is a good city, but Moscow is better. The Zigberman Jews move to Moscow at the beginning of the war. In 1918, Victor Zigberman graduated from the First Men's Gymnasium in Moscow.

His son Mikhail Ardov wrote in his memoirs: “By the time of the revolution, at seventeen years old, Viktor Ardov was already an established person and quite consciously shared the program of the Cadet Party. I remember a funny episode that took place in the early sixties. A certain artist, whom his father had somehow benefited, came to Ordynka and expressed his gratitude in these words:
- Thank you, Victor, for helping me out... You are a true Bolshevik-Leninist... since 1920. In 1947-1951. Deputy of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR.
- You are an idiot! - Ardov answered him. - What kind of Leninist do you think I am? I've been a liberal all my life! I am a supporter of bourgeois democracy..."
Of course, he didn’t openly say that then.

Mikhail Ardov:“In the nineteenth and twentieth years he had the opportunity to serve in some Soviet institutions, but he had a desire to study at the institute. However, there was an obstacle to entering a Soviet university, namely, being “from the civil servants” or even “from the philistines.” At that time, a workers' faculty already existed, and the institutes recruited mainly “proletarians” and “peasants.”
But here Ardov’s patronage helped: one of his aunts was married to the Marxist historian, later academician V.P. Volgin...”

This is wrong. Mikhail Ardov is lying. Proletarian and peasant origin then, of course, mattered when entering college. But Jewish origin was also very significant. After all, the majority of the Jews who filled the institutions, as well as the governing bodies, were not of proletarian and peasant origin. But, of course, it mattered if Viktor Ardov’s father, Efim Zigberman, was an owner and a rich man before the October coup, and also a cadet.

In 1925, Viktor Ardov graduated from the Faculty of Economics of the Moscow Plekhanov Institute of National Economy. But if you believe the words of his son Mikhail, he did not receive a diploma. The fact is that the Komsomol committee demanded that he, as the son of rich relatives, donate some money for general needs. Ardov refused, then they threatened him that he would not receive a graduation diploma.
- You can wipe yourself with my diploma! - Ardov told them and left the institute building forever.

He didn't really need a diploma. Zhidovin Viktor Ardov did not intend to work as an economist. It’s good to be an economist, but it’s better to be a “Russian writer.”
When he was studying, he was already working as an actor and entertainer in the “Don’t Cry” cabaret. In 1921, he began publishing his own cartoons with accompanying text in the magazine “Spectacles.” In order to hide his Jewish roots, he already performed under the name Ardov. Then he began to illustrate his humorous collections himself. He was regularly published in the humorous magazines “Crocodile” and “Red Pepper”. Together with L.V. Nikulin he wrote the comedies “Squabbles” and “Article 114 of the Criminal Code” (1926), “Cockroachism” (1929). (Many Jewish biographers classify Nikulin among the Jews). Together with the Jew Massom, he composed the comedy “Birthday Girl,” and independently composed the comedy “Small Trumps” (1937). Altov often wrote humorous monologues for pop artists (for Zhidovin Khenkin, Rina Zelenaya, for Zhidovin, Raikin, for Zhidovin, Petker and others). Since 1927, the Jewish Ardov was in charge of the literary part of the Leningrad Satire Theater. The name of the theater, of course, is incorrect; there could and was no legal satire under the dictatorship. Therefore, the Jew Ardov cannot be classified as a satirist. He was just a Jewish humorist.

This Jew Ardov (Zigberman) composed in Russian in the USSR - more than forty collections of humorous stories, feuilletons, theatrical sketches, essays, film scripts for the films “The Shining Path” (1940) and “Happy Flight” (1949) and theoretical works on conversational techniques genre on the stage and in the circus. A book of memoirs, “Studies for Portraits” (1983), about Mayakovsky, Bulgakov, Akhmatova, Zoshchenko, Ilf, Petrov, Svetlov, Olesha, Koltsov, Ilyinsky, Ranevskaya and others was published posthumously. The book of this Jew, entitled “The Great and the Funny,” was republished in 2005. And until now there is not a single study on the stultifying effect of this zombie Jew and similar Jewish comedians on the consciousness of the Russian people.

Viktor Ardov (Zigberman) died in 1976. The coffin with his physical body was buried at the Preobrazhenskoye Cemetery (Moscow). A photograph of the grave monument is given on the Jewish Memorial website.
http://jewish-memorial.narod.ru/Ardov.htm

Wives, children, grandchildren.

Ardov's (Sigberman) first wife was Irina Konstantinovna Ivanova. The already famous actress Nina Antonovna Olshevskaya became his second wife in 1933. By nationality - half-Polish. Her five-year-old son Alexei Batalov (future artist) became Ardov’s stepson. A little later, the successors of the Ardov family were born. In 1937, the future writer-memoirist and priest Mikhail Viktorovich Ardov was born, and in 1940, the actor and cartoon director Boris Viktorovich Ardov was born. The granddaughter of Viktor Ardov, actress Anna Borisovna Ardova, will also become famous. Great-grandchildren, actors Anton Shavrin and Sonya Ardova, will also become a little famous.

Actor, animation director Boris Ardov -
son of Viktor Ardov (Zigberman)

Boris Ardov was born in 1940 in Moscow. By nationality - Jewish on his father's side. Father - writer and screenwriter - Jewish Viktor Ardov (Zigberman). Mother - Moscow Art Theater actress Nina Olshevskaya, half-Polish.

In 1961 he graduated from the MXAT Studio School. He worked as an actor at the Sovremennik Theater. In 1972 he graduated from the Higher Directing Courses. From 1974 to 1987 he worked as a director and production designer at the Multitelefilm studio of TO Ekran. Since 1975 he taught at VGIK. He was an associate professor of the acting department, a candidate of art history. He headed the Akhmatova Cultural Center in Moscow (although Akhmatova was not a Jew).

Died in 2004 in Moscow. His physical body is buried in the Preobrazhenskoye cemetery along with his father. A photograph of the grave monument is given on the Jewish Memorial website.

Wives and children

Zhidovin Boris Ardov was married four times and fathered seven children. The first wife is Mira Ardova (née Kiseleva), an artist of the Youth Theater (then she is the wife of the actor Igor Starygin, then she is the wife of the theater director Lev Davydovich Vaisman). From his first marriage there are two children - designer Nina Ardova and actress Anna Ardova.
When Boris Ardov was married to Mira, he met a student at the Textile Institute, Lyudmila Dmitrieva, who dreamed of becoming an actress. Ardov began to prepare her for a theater university and at the same time began to mate with her. And his wife at that time began dating theater and film actor Igor Starygin. The artist Lyudmila Dmitrieva later admitted publicly that she had several abortions from Ardov. He injected his seed into her body without thinking about the consequences. When she was in her third year at the Moscow Art Theater, she became pregnant again, but decided to give birth. Daughter Maria was born. Lyudmila Dmitrieva knew that Boris Ardov was very lustful, he had a lot of ladies, he loved to copulate with different ladies... “And one day she returned home and found her husband in the company of several ladies at once. She couldn’t restrain herself and shouted: “Prostitutes, get out of here!” However, for the time being, Borya respected and loved me. And then for a long time I couldn’t choose between me and the animator Olga, the daughter of the famous cameraman (Jew) Eduard Rozovsky, who shot “White Sun of the Desert” and “The Three Musketeers.” I cried, and my mother-in-law reassured me: “Don’t cry, you stay, and let him go.” Divorced when Masha was 6 years old. With (the Jewish woman) Rozovskaya, who now lives in America, he had a daughter. After the separation, Ardov married for the fourth time and had three more daughters. His last wife is no longer alive, as is Bori himself, who died in 2004 from cirrhosis of the liver. Both were killed by alcohol, their girls were left orphans and live with their grandmother.”

Writer of memoirs and priest Mikhail Ardov -
son of the Jew Viktor Ardov (Zigberman)

Mikhail Ardov. photo: Alexander Astafiev (www.mk.ru)

Mikhail Ardov was born in 1937 in Moscow. By nationality - Jews. He is the son of the Jewish writer-humorist Viktor Ardov (Zigberman). Mother is actress Olga Olshanskaya (according to the memoirs of Mikhail Ardov, she has Polish roots). “My mother, Nina Antonovna Olshevskaya, was born in Vladimir on July 31/August 13, 1908. Her father, Anton Alexandrovich, was the son of the chief forester of the Vladimir province. And the wife of this great-grandfather of mine was a Polish aristocrat, born Countess Poniatovskaya.”
http://modernlib.ru/books/ardov_mihail/vokrug_ordinki/read/

In 1960 he graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. But being a Soviet propagandist-journalist was not tempting. But writing satire is not given, and it’s scary, I also didn’t dare to write novels and stories, I also didn’t dare to become a professional comedian, to make the goyim laugh, because they would compare me with my then famous father-humorist... It’s obedient and completely standard to live in the USSR in a mask “ I'm very tired." And in 1964, Mikhail Ardov was first baptized. Then, from 1967, he was already a subdeacon at the Sorrow Church on Ordynka. In 1980 he was ordained a deacon in Yaroslavl in the church in the name of St. Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow. On Easter 1980 he was ordained a priest by Metropolitan John (Wendland). He served in village parishes of the Yaroslavl and Moscow dioceses.

And in the summer of 1993, the Jew Mikhail Ardov left the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate and transferred to the Russian Church Abroad. He became a cleric of the Suzdal diocese, which was then headed by Valentin Rusantsov. Together with Rusantsov he went into schism. Since 1995, Mikhail Ardov has been a cleric of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, which is administratively and canonically independent from the ROCOR. In 1998, this church was renamed the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church.

And it is clear that he did not become a hieromonk for higher reasons. There is nothing interesting about Faith, about God, about the Supreme Meaning of Life in his writings and speeches. He became a hieromonk not only because he was “very tired of it.” Some biographers noted that “to go into religion meant in those years one of the forms of protest against Soviet power and Soviet reality.” And he himself admitted: “And then, I didn’t immediately understand this reason: coming to church was internal emigration. We fell out of Soviet life. We are outcasts. These were the two reasons.”
http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

Moreover, it was no longer dangerous to walk around with a beard and a cassock. Even serving in the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church was no longer dangerous.
The Jewish poet Joseph Brodsky responded correctly to the new appearance of Mikhail Ardov when they met in 1995 in New York. Seeing an old friend in a cassock, he said:
- What a masquerade!
http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

Long before this, back in the mid-60s, in Moscow, answering the question of the convert Ardov whether he was thinking of being baptized, Brodsky said in English:
- I am Jew. (I am Jewish).
http://sta-sta.ru/?p=15251

The Jew Mikhail Ardov, of course, began to stupidly yap at the Russian Orthodox Church.
“The Moscow Patriarchate, the Russian Orthodox Church, is to a large extent fulfilling what the propaganda department of the CPSU Central Committee did in Soviet times. This also includes the desire to introduce the Law of God in secondary schools. It seems to me that this decision is not only not very correct, but, I would say, not very smart. Because the tragedy that occurred in the Russian Empire was largely predetermined by the fact that Peter I turned the Orthodox Church into a spiritual department and an appendage of the state. And, by the way, the Law of God was taught in all educational institutions. We know how it ended in 1717...”

The poor fellow did not even understand that the point, first of all, was that the Christian Religion came into conflict with Big Science in all countries. It is really too late to teach the law of God, but, of course, it is necessary to teach a brief history of the main religions. Every Russian schoolchild should know the basics of paganism, Orthodoxy, Islam and Buddhism. And you should know a little about Judaism, the Torah and the Talmud. You should know a little about the Russian-Jewish question.

In the 1990s, the Izvestia newspaper published his article against the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The Jew Ardov vowed to himself never to enter this temple. Don't go. At least go to the synagogue. Mikhail Ardov publicly spoke out against the Olympic Games and any sports competitions. Christians are not even allowed to engage in physical exercise and sports. Physical education and sports are “caring for the flesh,” and the supreme apostle Paul warned us against this (Romans 13:14). He spoke out against imprisoning girls who were jumping half naked in a Christian church...

On September 22, 2006, Mikhail Ardov was “attacked” on the air of the Author’s Television (ATV) program “New Time” by the Deputy Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate (DECR MP), Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin. The incident was covered in some media. Chaplin called the priest Mikhail Ardov a “schismatic.” Chaplin called on clergy and laity to refuse to jointly participate in television and radio programs with Mikhail Ardov, a cleric of a schismatic group centered in Suzdal. Chaplin noted that in the journalistic community the ROAC has been given the title of “pedophile sect.” This sect is famous for scandals with pederast priests and pedophile priests.

Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov wrote a dozen books in Russian for Russian goyim: “Little things of the archi..., proto... and simply of priestly life”, “Return to Ordynka. Memoirs, journalism”, “Around Ordynka”, “Legendary Ordynka. Portraits", "Monograph about a graphomaniac. Memoirs”, “Notes of a Cemetery Priest”, etc. But he is dissatisfied.

Mikhail Ardov: “I have an unhappy fate... the clergy consider me a writer, and the writers consider me a clergyman, and both of them do not show me the slightest respect.”
(Mikhail Ardov. Monograph about a graphomaniac. - M. 2004, p. 528).

Rusantsov declared himself in 1995 the head of the Russian Orthodox Free Church. He managed, with the support of local authorities, to seize 19 churches in the city of Suzdal, where the center of this schism is located. On February 19, 1997, he was deposed by the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church. On March 15, 2001, by decision of the Synod of Bishops of the ROAC, Rusantsov was elevated to the rank of metropolitan and recognized as First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church. He is the Metropolitan of Suzdal and Vladimir, died in 2012. And this church has no prospects. And the Jew Mikhail Ardov has no prospects. Few people know Mikhail Ardov as a priest or religious preacher of the “Russian Free Church”. He is a boring and timid priest.

And, of course, pop-Jew Mikhail Ardov stubbornly ignores in his memoirs and appearances in the media the important topic of homosexuals and pedophiles in robes... He has never spoken out in favor of introducing a law in Russia prohibiting pederasty in Russia and increasing the sentences for pedophilia. And, of course, he never spoke out on the topic of the danger of the expansion of the Jews into the Christian Church... He did not say a word in his memoirs about the First Great Leap of the Jews into power, into cinema, into the stage, into publishing houses, and then into the TV Box... But he should have known well that the Soviet stage was overflowing with Jews, and even now there are tons of Jews on the stage...

He scolds Stalin on Radio Liberty, who “who first annexed the Donbass to the Poltava region and Kyiv, and then two more pieces of Poland and one piece of Austria-Hungary. Such a state cannot exist. Stalin, as Gorbachev once said, mined the entire country! In Georgia, who came up with Abkhazian autonomy? Who cut Ossetia into two parts? Who gave Karabakh to the Azerbaijanis? He did the same in Central Asia. Who gave the Yaik Cossacks to Kazakhstan? I have been to Samarkand twice. This is a wonderful city inhabited by Tajiks, which belongs to Uzbekistan. He mined the entire country. It was not the Democrats who destroyed the Union, but the Communists who destroyed the Russian Empire. And this expression “Russian world” is a new invention. There was no Russian world in Russia. There was the Russian Empire. There was no nationality there either. There was only religion..."
http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov hides that the reduction of the Russian Empire, the collapse of the Russian Empire and the stupid stitching of pieces into a “Soviet blanket” - in the USSR began under Lenin and Trotsky, under the dictatorship of six Jewish dictators, and not under Stalin. Stalin then completed and remade Lenin's work. Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov is not able to consider the historical process also from a national perspective. It is the pop Jews who do not see or hide the Great Leap of the Jews into power after 1917. This pop-Jew does not see or does not want to see the Second Great Leap of the Jews into power after 1991. He doesn’t see that the “democrats”, and if we look at events from a national perspective, then it was the Jews and other nationalities who ruined the country. And they even eliminated the nationality column in passports and application forms in order to make the Second Great Leap to power easier for themselves. Eh, poor priest, thick forehead... or smart-ass priest...

Actress Anna Ardova is the granddaughter of the Jew Viktor Ardov (Zigberman)

The granddaughter of the Jewish Viktor Ardov, Anna Borisovna Ardova, was born in Moscow in 1969. Her mother, Mika Ardova (Kiselyova), worked at the Youth Theater at that time, and her Jewish father, Boris Ardov, was a director and animator. The girl received her name in honor of her grandmother's friend, poetess Anna Akhmatova.
Anya Ardova's mother divorced her Jewish father. Afterwards she married famous men from the artistic community. Anya even became friends with Igor Starygin, but she could not find a common language with director Lev Davydovich.

Anya Ardova was able to enter GITIS only on her fifth attempt. Graduated from GITIS in 1995. Since 1995 - actress of the Moscow Academic Theater. V. Mayakovsky.

Anna began acting in films in 1983. She starred in several films.

For five seasons she played in the sketch comedy “Women's League” on TNT (a sketch comedy is a small play of comedic or poignant content with two, less often three, characters). Gained some fame. In 2009, Ardova was offered the main role in the show “One for All” on the Domashny TV channel. Biographers write that the project became one of the main hits of the channel. Adova received the TEFI Award for Best Actress in a Television Series in 2010.

Started acting in TV series. In 2004, she played in the TV series “Only You”, and also got the main role in the film “The Secret of the Blue Valley”. In 2006, she was offered a role in the TV show "Women's League." The series was popular with undemanding viewers, and Anna began to be recognized on the streets. She began work on a new project, “One for All.”

Her husbands and children
Anna got married for the first time when she was still in her second year, to actor Daniil Spivakovsky. His last name on the Jewish website 7:40 is highlighted in blue (“Know ours”!).
http://www.sem40.ru/index.php?newsid=216602

“My grandfather, Semyon Davidovich Spivakovsky, was a Jew,” Spivakovsky himself admitted in an interview,”
http://www.jewish.ru/culture/cinema/2009/09/news994278227.php
