🇬🇧🇷🇺🇺🇦🇱🇹Intelligence Agencies Accused of Targeting Russian Orthodoxy Russian intelligence alleges British agencies are supporting the Ecumenical Patriarchate's efforts to weaken the Russian Orthodox Church abroad, mirroring tactics previously used in Ukraine. The SVR claims Patriarch Bartholomew, backed by Western intelligence, aims to dismantle Russian Orthodoxy across the Baltics and beyond, replacing it with Constantinople-aligned structures. Reportedly, plans include granting autocephaly to the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, challenging the Serbian Orthodox Church and potentially fracturing global Orthodoxy. The Foreign Intelligence Service now accuses Patriarch Bartholomew of being an "Antichrist in a cassock" who is obsessed with removing Russian Orthodoxy from the Baltic states. The SVR also called him the "devil incarnate" and alleges he relies on local nationalists and neo-Nazis to lure priests into Constantinople-created structures.
