    This is the 4th, however, not the final, episode of the FrolovLeaks saga. If this is your first encounter with this saga, we recommend looking up the previous episodes in the Hacktivism section.

    Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA) hacktivists shared with InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community a massive data dump from the mailbox of Kirill Frolov, Vice-Director of the Institute for CIS Countries, spokesman of the Union of Orthodox Citizens and “church-going expert”.

    Frolov’s correspondence spans the period of 1997-2016, so we broke it down into several episodes. Of course, the most interesting parts are still ahead. In Episode IV, we are almost in 2011 and are exploring the “backstage” of fascinating schemes, recommendations “to become a Goebbels for the Patriarch”, manipulations in the top levels of power in Russia, attempts to influence the situation in Ukraine and recruit Ukrainian generals, as well as warmongering in Syria.

    The complete dump of Kirill Frolov’s mail will be posted together with the last part of our series and will be available to anyone wishing to research it in more detail.

    The original EML messages used in the preparation of this episode are available in the archive. The publication contains screenshots and attachments from those messages.

    In Kirill Frolov’s dump, 2011 was marked with intensified merging between the church and the state in Russia, creation and promotion of new technologies of infiltration of the so-called “Russian world” into Ukraine, introduction of new agents of influence and continuous arguments and church-related conflicts, particularly, about the candidates to the Kharkiv and Kyiv cathedras which, key for the Ukrainian Orhtodox Church.

    The tune of Russian influence over Ukraine is getting louder, for example: “In general, I do not understand this support of the subject of territorial integrity of Ukraine, deep inside I do not acknowledge Ukraine at all. Moreover, Patriarch Kirill does not acknowledge it, either (backstage he clearly says that the goal of his Patriarchial service is to merge Russia and Ukraine at the state level, not only in their spiritual unity)”.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[3]: From the secretary of Archbishop of Canterbury To: nicholas-savchenko@lycos.com <nicholas-savchenko@lycos.com> Fomenko is totally destructive for the Ukrainian politics. He sees father Dmitry Sydor who is being attacked by the Banderites as the enemy of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Sydor is a great man, the leader of the Rusyns. And if VPK becomes a pro-Bandera, pro-Mazepa organization, neither myself, nor Tabachnyk or Metropolitan Agaphangel who has been “forgotten” thanks to Fomenko, will ever set foot there. In general, I do not understand this support of the subject of territorial integrity of Ukraine, deep inside I do not acknowledge Ukraine at all. Moreover, Patriarch Kirill does not acknowledge it, either (backstage he clearly says that the goal of his Patriarchial service is to merge Russia and Ukraine at the state level, not only in their spiritual unity). If Galicia gets in the way – screw Galicia, cut off Banderia. It is Russia which must be saved, not Ukraine. At the same time, officially I talk this nonsense about the so-called integrity of Ukraine (www.donkr.dn.ua/index.php/home/2414–l-r). And we will go on talking this nonsense to stay free. And Tabachnyk talks it, too. However, for me the criterion of loyalty to the Cause is internal rejection of Ukraine. Sydor must not be given up for a phoney such as Fomenko. Generally, it seems we will have to make a choice between Sydor (with an enormous resource – he has built a great Cathedral, he is supported by thousands of people, he enjoys authority and faith, Sydor is the only one who opposes the Transcarpathian Banderites), Tabachnyk, Frolov – and Fomenko who has nothing but empty talk supporting the independent Ukraine. The same refers to Zatulin who is also forced to officially talk nonsense about the integrity of Ukraine – he is one of the greatest politicians with a lot of authority who will survive all his opponents. To ignore him is political short-sightedness.

    Frolov prepares an analysis of the Russian domestic politics for the Patriarch and based on it composes a proposition on creating an analytical center to enhance the role of the Russian Orthodox Church as the factor capable of preventing revolutionary disturbances – super-vazhno, analytycheskyj-tsentr. On 21.03.11 he sends a memo on the political situation in Russia to the Patriarch – v-ponedelnyk. On 10.04.11 he stresses the necessity of issuing an ultimatum to then-mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin — vashe-svyatejshestvo-2: “We need 600 churches, not 60!” – at the same time noting “please pass on to PK – this has been approved. This is really confidential”. PK stands for Patriarch Kirill, but who issued the approval – the Presidential Administration, the Federal Security Service, the Party? Also in his correspondence, Frolov instructs the future Chairman of the Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and Mass Media of the Moscow Patriarchate (who was appointed to the position in 2015, probably, not without Frolov’s scheming recommendations), Vladimir Legoyda:

     “Seize the power over mass media, become a Goebbels for our spiritual Fuehrer – the Patriarch. The political situation is favorable – take one channel, one newspaper, a hundred websites both from the Putin’s crowd and from the Medvedev’s, and speak to one side about the other – these bastards have already given us one button, now give us two more, then we will switch over to your side. This is the language they understand, therefore, this rational approach will not obstruct their catechesis”.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[2]: your mail To: Vladimir Legoyda <lvr@sinfo-mp.ru> If you’ve got it – so far so good. Seize the power over mass media, become a Goebbels for our spiritual Fuehrer – the Patriarch. The political situation in favorable – take one channel, one newspaper, a hundred websites both from the Putin’s crowd and from the Medvedev’s, and speak to one side about the other – these bastards have already given us one button, now give us two more, then we will switch over to your side. This is the language they understand, therefore, this rational approach will not obstruct their catechesis.

    Active measures were also taken in the Institute for CIS Countries where Frolov is responsible for Ukraine operations. For example, on January 26, 2011, the Institute hosted the Current problems of Russian movement in Ukraine seminar attended by leaders of the parties Russkoe Edinstvo (Russian Unity), Russkiy Block (Russian Bloc), non-governmental organizations Russkoe Sodruzhestvo (Russian Association) and Russkaya Obshchina Ukrainiy (Russian Community of Ukraine) — raspechat-zatulynu-rdu. Together with political expert Kirill Loginov, he writes a policy paper “for the top management” justifying the idea of the “Russian world”, the “Third Rome” and the politically active Orthodox Church as factors of Russian state modernizing — tretyj-rym-suverennaya-modernyzatsyya-doklad-supe-super-8. At the same time, in his message of July 31, 2011 he refers rather disrespectfully to his formal boss, Director of the Institute for CIS Countries Konstantin Zatulin: “In addition, he wants to be awarded a church order, come on, give uncle Kostia his bauble”, “Zatulin knows little about personnel matters. If I leave him, the Institute’s course may change to any direction” (September 2, 2011).

    He continues active correspondence with Sergey Moiseev from Kharkiv, he sends the note written by Igor Massalov, a pro-Russian activist from Victor Medvedchuk’s team, where he mentions the marginalization of Mykhaylo Dobkin, then the Governor of Kharkiv Oblast, and offers rationale for the work areas — massalov-o-nekotoryh-napravlenyyah-gumanytarnoj-polytyky.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re: Article about celebration of the 900th anniversary of Monomakh’s victory To: Sergey Moiseev <russ.tri@gmail.com> Makarov is a jerk. Zatulin is prepared to meet Massalov, Kartavykh and father Aleksandr Kanevskiy. We urgently need their profile summaries. From: Sergey Moiseev <russ.tri@gmail.com> Subject: Re: about Kartavykh To: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Kirill, I have never written such summaries. I thought I would send info on each of them and you will review it and maybe reword something. You know better how to present it to Zatulin. I will now gather the final info on the others, complete it, but, in any case, there is nothing wrong with you making some minor changes, as you have seen and heard a lot yourself. And as for Gepa (Ed.: the mayor of Kharkiv Gennadiy Kernes, has a known criminal record in his biography), I will not call him his nickname, but I will use his full name, like Gennadiy Adolfovych who was playing shell games, etc. March 30, 2011 14:21 Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> wrote: Look, are you crazy? What is this “Gepa” about? Make an adequate summary on all of them – who they are, what they are doing, call Gepa by his full name – Gennadiy Kernes, emphasize the main thing – Kartavykh has incriminating evidence on all elite. He is valuable. What you sent to me looks boring and discredits you – it is sloppy work.

    Of course, it is no coincidence that it was the organizations named by Moiseev here, for whom he solicits support, which played an active part in the attempted destabilization in Kharkiv in spring of 2014. He puts together a detailed file on them — spravka-po-obshhestvennym-organyzatsyyam. Particularly, on the leader of the Spasi i Sokhrani (Save and Protect) foundation: “When Vyacheslav Kartavykh worked in the district police department of Moskovsky District of Kharkiv, Gennadiy Kernes, the current mayor of Kharkiv, was a con artist playing shell games. In 1986, Kernes was caught in the theft of a gold chain. Then he agreed to become an informer for Kartavykh, a police officer who was then responsible for the agent network in the criminal circles. To escape a criminal sentence, Kernes agreed to cooperate, and was assigned the nickname Chertezhnik (Draftsman). Vyacheslav Ivanovych was one of the organizers of the Party of Regions network in Kharkiv region. When Gennadiy Kernes joined the Party of Regions, Kartavykh spoke against him as candidate for the position of the secretary of the city council, for which Vyacheslav Kartavykh was dismissed from the party and later accused of two attempted assassinations of Kernes. Also there were attempts to destroy Vyacheslav Kartavykh’s business in Kharkiv”.

    From: Sergey Moiseev <russ.tri@gmail.com> Subject: Re: where are the conference coverage and photos To: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> I have not been able to get to my computer until today, I’m running around filing the quarter report to the tax authority, having the plotter repaired, doing all sorts of urgent stuff. After Makarov made his latest coverage, again saying that he had organized everything and taken charge, I have been hearing different opinions about him. Today I spoke to Margelov followers about the ways to oppose this: http://narodnapravda.org/photogallery/478-xarkovskie-patrioty-ukrainy-s-futbolnymi-fanatami-vnov-pugali-gorozhan-xarkov-u-mbotanicheskij-sad-17-aprelya-2011-gods.html. Proskurin suggested that the Patriarch upon his arrival may, as if by chance, award certificates of merit to our organizations – Pamyat Derzhavy (Memory of the Nation), a patriotic organization created by Chernobyl veterans, my Rus Triedinaya (Triune Russia), Kanevsky’s Roditelskiy Komitet (Parent Committee), Kartavykh’s Spasi i Sokhrani (Save and Protect) for monument erection, also Massalov’s Chest i Dostoinstvo (Honor and Dignity). First, he will then show that Moscow knows better about our affairs in Kharkiv, second, he will shake up Onufriy and Kit as well as Gepa (Kernes) and Dopa (Dobkin). And the people will receive a clear signal that Moscow recognizes the social activists’ efforts, which will inspire many and make people come to us in droves. In our turn, our delegation will suggest the idea of sainting Vladimir Monomakh, building a church in Spasiv Skit. Tomorrow I’m having a computer day, will be writing the article and preparing the newspaper issue.

    Agents of influence in Ukraine.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[2]: Forgiveness Sunday To: Hilarion Alfeyev <metropolitan.hilarion@gmail.com> It would be logical if the list of fighters against the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church who are worthy of institutionalization in the structures of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, included the names of Igor Markov, Deputy of Odesa city council, representative of the 2009 Church Council, Dmytro Tabachnyk, Minister of Education of Ukraine, Victor Voronin, PhD in history who is being forced out of the political elite by the ”autocephalic party”, Archpriest Dmitry Sydor, leader of the Rusyns, builder of the enormous cathedral in Uzhgorod, Denis Denisov, Vladimir Kornilov and Rostislav Ishchenko, distinguished political experts.

    In the end of 2010, a new trend can be seen in Frolov’s correspondence – he sends the most important materials and operational messages to D. Pakhomov <christe_eleison@mail.ru>, Director of the Khristianskaya Solidarnost (Christian Solidarity) International Foundation. The messages bear such subjects as “attn. security service”, “to the top”, “attn. Grishin”. For example, on July 12, 2011: “In the Institute we have Safargaliyev the Wahhabi, Zatulin does not understand anything while Safargaliyev is bringing Wahhabis from Pakistan. The likes of him must be thrown out of the Institute, somebody has to speak to Zatulin”.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: to the top To: Pakhomov Dmitry Vyacheslavovich <christe_eleison@mail.ru> Spoke briefly to Patriarch Kirill and Metropolitan Hilarion about raising their voices about the Russian language in Ukraine and Ukraine joining the Customs Union as an act or restoration of the Russian world. Patriarch Kirill and Metropolitan Hilarion will visit Ukraine on April 25-27 (Kyiv, Chernobyl) and on May 7-9 (Kharkiv, Donetsk).

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[2]: important / please interfere To: Pakhomov Dmitry Vyacheslavovich <christe_eleison@mail.ru> Let the Federal Security Service support us.

    And this is the photo of Frolov and Pakhomov taken at the meeting with Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Public Associations and Religious Organizations S. Gavrilov (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) which took place on December 7, 2016, which means that the well-developed mechanisms continue working even now.

    This is what Frolov wrote about the Communists’ aspiration to control this Committee in 2011:

     “Important.

    The Communist Party of the Russian Federation requests that a Committee on Public Associations and Religious Organizations is established in the State Duma. They want to insert Deputy S. Obukhov in the Committee, this person is no friend of the Church. The United Russia wants R. Abdulatipov (a Muslim) to become the first deputy. There may be a representative of Islam in a special-purpose committee of the State Duma, however, not as first deputy and not in the situation when the committee chairman is a Communist. In the current situation, this is a slap in the face of the Orthodox faith.

    There is still time to save the situation with negotiations at the top level”.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: important To: Fr. Vsevolod Chaplin <fchaplin@mospatr.ru> Important.

    Moscow seriously discusses a project of replacing Metropolitan Nikodim (Rusnak) with Hilarion Alfeyev at the Kharkiv cathedra. Frolov sends a big letter to Alfeyev and other influential contacts with the information on Kharkiv, mentions non-governmental organizations Rus Triedinaya (Triune Russia) (chairman – S.V. Moiseyev), Pamyat Derzhavy (Memory of the Nation) (chairman – V.S. Proskurin), foundations Chest i Dostoinstvo (Honor and Dignity) (president – I.E. Massalov), Spasi i Sokhrani (Save and Protect) (chairman – V.I. Kartavykh) as well as Roditelskiy Komitet (Parent Committee) with priest Aleksandr Kanevsky as the leader referred to as a “long-term companion in the struggle, convinced supporter of the Russian world”, journalist – vashe-vysokopreosvyashhenstvo. Frolov also sends the same information to Pakhomov, probably, to be forwarded to the Federal Security Service.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re: TSERKVA.INFO: Patriarch Kirill wants to replace Metropolitan Nikodim (Rusnak) with Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) To: Maksim Markov <m.markov@mail.ru> Strange as it may seem, I support this choice – Sabodan has no successors in Ukraine. Hilarion of Donetsk, Metropolitan Pavel of Chernobyl? They are both rednecks! And look how the dissenters are shitting bricks about this project!

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Kharkiv To: Hilarion Alfeyev <metropolitan.hilarion@gmail.com> Your Eminence! Please find attached the article from the website of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church where a certain author speculates about your move to Kharkiv and Kyiv retaining your position as Head of the Department of External Church Relations. I do not know whether this is true or not. However, the author, in fact, tells the truth when saying that neither Metropolitan Hilarion Shukalo, nor Metropolitan Pavel Lebed or Metropolitan Onufriy Berezovskyi or, with all due respect, Metropolitan Agaphangel (for his age) can be effective vehicles of the Moscow Patriarchate cause. And the author makes no secret of being terribly afraid of the plan he is describing. The author of the article, judging by his style, is father Petr Zuyev – “their” man within the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, the visionary of the “orange-autocephalous party” of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, a clever enemy of the Russian Church. I wonder who is leaking information to him from Moscow. So, I give my counter-arguments under his article – why a person from Moscow can very well be Metropolitan of Kyiv and that a person from Moscow is better than a person from Washington. If the plan described by Tserkva.Info exists, I am hereby, just in case, sending you the information on the people you can rely on in Kharkiv. Besides, let me remind you about Zatulin’s and my own close informal connections to N. Azarov, Vice-Prime Minister Tykhonov and other key persons. Also please be informed that the Vicar of Goloseyevo Hermitage Archpriest Isaakiy (Andronik) is the confessor of V. Khoroshkovskyi, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine.

    On May 6 through 8 Patriarch Kirill visits Donetsk and Kharkiv, and Moiseev and Makarov are instructed to bring out people dressed in Drozdovsky movement uniform. Frolov sends them the following message: “You and Margelov’s people must by all means be there”, which means there were already organized and equipped groups.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: strike back at the bastards – come out to the theater carrying flags and wearing the Drozdovsky uniform To: Sergey Moiseev <russ.tri@gmail.com> The court prohibited the rally by the Party of Regions and Svoboda in Kharkiv on the day of Patriarch Kirill’s visit, according to the Svoboda members. Kharkiv, May 6. INTERFAX – Kharkiv district administrative court prohibited the Party of regions and All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda to hold rallies in Kharkiv on Saturday due to Patriarch Kirill’s visit, according to the information received by Interfax from the chairman of Kharkiv regional organization Ihor Shvaika. According to Shvaika, the court sustained the claim of Kharkiv City Council for prohibition of rallies on May 7 at the Kharkiv Opera and Ballet Theater where Patriarch Kirill is going to congratulate Metropolitan Nikodim of Kharkiv and Bogodukhov on his jubilee. The Mayor’s office explains the rally prohibition by heavy traffic along Sumska Street where the theater is located and by the fact that the Kharkiv residents favor the area in front of the theater as their place of leisure, according to I. Shvaika. However, the Svoboda members are nevertheless going to hold their rally, as their application was filed by the city party organization while the court prohibited the rally to the regional organization.

    Moiseev: “We are getting ready for the meeting. Today, the Margelov’s people are taking their oaths, they should be there too. What a surprise the Banderites are going to get”.

    Frolov puts his stake on Moiseev: “Now the media will start quoting you as their source in Orthodox NGOs of Ukraine. We are going to actively promote you now. You should become a new Kaurov but without his mistakes”.

    In the end of December, 2011, during the protests in Russia, Moiseev offered to use his thugs: “We announce that we are prepared to organize a friendship train to Moscow. I have already spoken to the Cossacks, Margelov followers, Chernobyl veterans. We can gather a crown of a thousand people, get a train from the Russian Railways, upon our arrival, the office of the Mayor of Moscow will supply buses and we will march with posters and flags, including imperial ones, covering Moscow with stickers on our way”.

    Frolov gets coordinates with the FSB church appointments in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate via Pakhomov – avtobyografyya-ygum-venyamyn. This example refers to the Bishop Veniamin of Novi Sanzhary, Vicar of Poltava eparchy, vice-rector of Poltava Missionary Theological Seminary (Volodymyr Valentynovych Pogrebniy).

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: to the top – candidate for Dneprodzerzhynsk cathedra To: Pakhomov Dmitry Vyacheslavovich <christe_eleison@mail.ru> 1 attachment – AUTOBIOGRAPHY of hegumen Veniamin.doc

    In Donetsk, Kharkiv and other cities, lots of pro-Russian and pro-imperial events were held by the same scenario. While the Kharkiv event commemorated Mikhail Drozdovsky, the one in Donetsk – Ivan Paskevich – v-donetske-vspomynaly-paskevycha.

    Frolov promotes the idea of using the “Victory in World War II” as a unifying symbol of the post-USSR space. However, at the same time, he is consistently and, apparently, sincerely opposing the revival of Stalinism. Under his influence, Patriarch Kirill visits the General Staff where he meets with the high command and the generals of the Russian Armed Forces and makes a speech. As we can see from Frolov’s correspondence, the agenda included a discussion of “churching” of the Victory Day and introduction of the military chaplains, thus institutionalizing the influence of the church in the Russian aggressive defense and law enforcement agencies. This later resulted in the restoration of Stalinism and the use of the Church to justify Russia’s military crimes by clergymen blessing the missions to Ukraine and Syria. There is also some evidence of participation of several priests of the Russian Orthodox Church and Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in military actions and aiding the illegal armed groups.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[6]: the Patriarch has read the note. He did not wait till June 12 and said everything today in the General Staff To: Kirill Loginov <kloginov@gmail.com> I said that I had handed over our note (not your note, but our note) to Patriarch Kirill, that he again showed that he responds to me and positively at that, and that he accepted the reasoning. This is not just a favor.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[4]: the Patriarch has read the note. He did not wait till June 12 and said everything today in the General Staff To: Kirill Loginov <kloginov@gmail.com> Do you really think that it is a favor to you? This is a response to our REASONS. You were not objective in judging Patriarch Kirill’s words. I repeat, Patriarch Kirill destroyed Chaplin by showing that the Victory Day is almost as big as one of the Twelve Great Feasts and not some “pagan custom”.

    Together with his accomplices, Frolov prepares a project of establishing an analytical center – Analytical center — 1 and develops the methods of using the Church’s potential for political purposes, for the benefit of the United Russia party – — All-Russia frontline-1; Working group for movements at the Synodal Department for Public and Media Relations of the Church — 1; Working_group_recommendations_4. One of his ideas (01.08.11): “The Patriarch’s plan includes establishing eparchies not matching the borders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. For example, an eparchy stretches over several districts of Rostov region and several districts of Luhansk region. The task is to override the borders between Russia, Ukraine and Belarus”.

    Frolov lays down his plan of promoting Hilarion Alfeyev to the Kharkiv cathedra and writes him a message marked “strictly confidential”. However, if you study the dump closely, you will see that even before that, he sent the same message for the Patriarch, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to Glazyev and FSB (via Pakhomov). Some “confidentiality” – when three know it, all know it. The same mailing pattern is used in many other cases, in one of his messages to Mikhail Kuksov, an assistant to the Patriarch, he even stresses that he appeals only to the Patriarch, that he has no ways to approach the government of the country, while in fact he sends the same proposal to a deputy for direct resolution (18.08.11). He is plotting and scheming behind the Patriarch’s back.

    On June 15, in Odesa Metropolitan Agaphangel met S. Naryshkin, head of Russia’s Presidential Administration at the time. The main topic of their negotiations was Metropolitan Agaphangel’s attitude to the assignment of Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev), Head of the Department of External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, to Kharkiv and then to Kyiv. Frolov writes a note about it – On the results of the conversation of Head of the Administration of the President of Russia S, where he mentions such a promising area as work with young episcopate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, particularly, with such representatives of this episcopate as the Head of Cossack Department Bishop Iosif of Glukhiv (Maslennikov), Head of the Department of Pastoral Patronage of Afghanistan Veterans Bishop Feodosiy of Brovary (Snigirev). Once he abandons his project of Alfeyev’s promotion, Frolov immediately switches to promoting his trusted persons for the Council – Minister of Education Dmytro Tabachnyk, Andrey Novikov, Dimitry Sydor, Nikolay Donenko, Valerij Kaurov, Igor Markov, Valeriy Kovalyov, Sergey Moiseev, Valentin Lukyanik, Yevgeniy Maksymenko, Rector of Pochayiv Theological Seminary Archimandrite Nafanail (Krykota), Yuriy Yegorov.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: important To: Vorobyuv Vorob <AVorobyuv@yandex.ru> His Holiness Patriarch Kirill confidentially mentioned that he does not intend to let Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev go to Kharkiv and Kyiv. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill awarded an Order of Saint Seraphim of Sarov to the secretary of Odesa eparchy Andrey Novikov “for his efforts to protect the canonical Orthodox faith”. You can regard this award as a sign of support for Metropolitan Agaphangel as candidate for the position of Metropolitan of Kyiv. In a private conversation, His Holiness expressed his strong objection to Drabinko’s appointment as regular member of the Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and requested Metropolitan Agaphangel to abort Drabinko’s promotion to “locum tenens” at the Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church on July 8.

    After the death of Metropolitan Nikodim (Rusnak), Frolov proposes to fill the vacancy at the extremely important Kharkiv cathedra with Archbishop Ionafan (Yeletskykh) of Tulchyn whom he considers to be on his side. At the same time, due to the deteriorating health of His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir, Frolov considers different ways of strengthening the Russian influence – by neutralizing the supporters of separation of the Ukrainian church, exchange of priests (by sending Ukrainian priests to Russia at the same time filling Ukrainian parishes with Russian people), promotion of his influence agents – Metropolitan Agaphangel of Odesa, A. Novikov, Ye. Maksimenko and others.

    Frolov is actively corresponding with the addressee of <sirius1919@mail.ru>. “Vladimir is in intensive care, this is the turning point when there is an opportunity to promote Agaphangel to the Primate”, “DV (Tabachnyk – G.B.) talked to His Holiness and stressed how much you personally had done to preserve the unity of the Russian Church and fighting against the orange lobby in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”.

    From: t-tt <sirius1919@mail.ru> Subject: Re: Viktor, act To: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Kirill, thank you, it was a great meeting! DV told everything which concerns you to His Holiness and stressed how much you personally had done to preserve the unity of the Russian Church and fighting against the orange lobby in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He suggested that His Holiness assisted your assignment to the Presidential Administration to coordinate Ukrainian matters with the focus on church problems. His Holiness responded very positively to this – he also mentioned your services and promised to resolve this matter. He said he wished there were more fighters like you))). At the same time, he said that you have many enemies, particularly, in Moscow. As I understand, he hinted at your closeness to Zatulin and at the fact that it is now often used to discredit you. In any case, I think, there will be some development now. What are we going to do?

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[6]: nobody calls me, there is no development To: t-tt <sirius1919@mail.ru> The “infiltration by Zatulin” version is easily overturned – Zatulin has an interest in me as in a subordinate employee whose intellect can be used. In addition, if I go, Zatulin is left with no support from the church. So, Zatulin is BY NO MEANS interested in my leaving the Presidential Administration. I would also like to ask you to deal a counter-strike – those in the Moscow Patriarchate who are against me are against not only Russia’s national interests but also against the Patriarch. Kirill Frolov is Patriarch Kirill’s trusted informational weapon who always helps His Holiness in difficult informational situations and organizes informational wars. So, it is essential to inform both the Presidential Administration and the Patriarch that those who fight against me are, in fact, fighting against His Holiness, playing their own game and will betray the Patriarch just as in the 17th century the “inner circle” betrayed and maligned Patriarch Nikon (this historical precedent is important). Also, the counter-arguments to “Frolov being infiltrated by Zatulin” are also important. Thank you in advance. ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL!

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Viktor, this must reach the Old Square To: t-tt <sirius1919@mail.ru> As you know, on February 2-4, the Bishops’ Council of the Russian Orthodox Church resolved on effective annulment of the autonomy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – the actual powers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are cancelled, the most important being the staffing policies (the right to appoint bishops and establish eparchies), self-administration of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church remains on paper only. This is not just a historical event – this is a cause to say “at the top” that this historical resolution became possible thanks to, among others, V. Voronin and K. Frolov. Of course, it is all based on Patriarch Kirill’s political will. However, we have added our “two cents” to make sure that this will is expressed. This includes both the long-term activity in this area and the specific analytical materials on Filaret Denysenko’s blackmail which could not have gone unnoticed and indirectly helped to pass this fundamental resolution.

    “Sirius” is a person close to D. Tabachnyk, his co-author, historian, official, diplomat Viktor Voronin who is also one Frolov’s connections to FSB, besides Pakhomov. This is how Russian People’s Line describes their author:

    Many issues are discussed with father Yevgeniy Maksimenko, a pro-Russian priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate who was expected to become the confessor of the runaway ex-President of Ukraine V. Yanukovych.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re[9]: To: Archpriest Yevgeniy Maksimenko <archpriest-evgeniy@i.ua> The Ukrainian Orthodox Church should also be divided into metropolitan districts directly subordinate to Moscow: Malorossiya, Galicia, Carpathian Ruthenia, Volyn, Crimea, Novorossiya.

    From: Archpriest Yevgeniy Maksimenko <archpriest-evgeniy@mail.ru> Subject: To: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Those in Ukraine who are against God and Patriarch Kirill find death. It may be physical or political, but death it is. Vasyl Chervoniy was struck with lightning as judgment for what he said – he said that Patriarch Kirill would visit Ukraine only over his dead body. This is exactly what he became. Yushchenko is dead as a politician. Dzharty spoke against the Holy Cross – cancer. Tymoshenko chose Filaret to guide her – dead as a politician. Who else wants to challenge God? Who’s next? Will it be he who tries to go around Patriarch Kirill in the arrangements with Varfolomey…

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re: your mail To: Archpriest Yevgeniy Maksimenko <archpriest-evgeniy@mail.ru> I see December 14, 2011, 19:41 from Archpriest Yevgeniy Maksimenko <archpriest-evgeniy@mail.ru>: It’s a secret! Not a word to anyone for now! Our faggot Grace pulled a good one yesterday – he put no less than 3 million UAH on a month-term deposit in the Luhansk branch of one of the banks. Cool, isn’t it? I have a copy of his agreement number as well as his and his accountant’s facsimile used to open the account. Now I am going to get him by the balls!!!!!

    The following message refers to Yuriy Anatoliyovych Ladniy, a Ukrainian diplomat who since 2006 worked directly with V. Yanukovych, in 2011 was an adviser to the President of Ukraine, Head of the Chief Department for Constitutional and Legal Modernization of the Presidential Administration. Since 12.03.12 he has been member of the Supervisory Board of the Diplomatic Academy of Ukraine at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Re: your mail To: Archpriest Yevgeniy Maksimenko <archpriest-evgeniy@mail.ru> Send him all my materials on Ukraine. Now Yanukovych is deciding between Moscow and Brussels, now each our stroke will help to fell the oak. November 25, 2011, 23:42 from Archpriest Yevgeniy Maksimenko <archpriest-evgeniy@mail.ru>: I have sent this material of yours to Yu.A. Ladniy http://kirillfrolov.livejournal.com/1542087.html Let them read it, analyze it and realize that we know everything.

    Frolov notices the emerging tensions between Putin and Patriarch Kirill and immediately suggests using them to strengthen the church power. He talks about a partnership between the church and the state, particularly, in the TV and movies industry – strictly confidential text. He does a lot of work to strengthen the position of the Church, suggests moving the Patriarch’s residence to the Kremlin, promotes turning the church into an element of the government machine: “In Russia – the “Third Rome” – the church must become the “factory of senses”, the center of their formation as well as the key institution of the civic society. It is both natural and appropriate that the Church expresses its position on all current issues of the state and social life. Only a socially active Church can perform a mission”. He proposes establishing an expert council under the auspices of the Patriarch and makes a list of its members including the following persons from Ukraine: Sergiy Kichigin, editor-in-chief of the “2000” newspaper, Dmytro Tabachnyk, Minister of Education and Science, Petro Tolochko, an academician, Volodymyr Kornilov.

    The church in Ukraine is under constant pressure, for example: “Under the circumstances, the situation can be saved only by a call from a top secular person (all church channels have been used already) from Moscow guaranteeing that Metropolitan Agaphangel will not be dismissed from the cathedra if tomorrow he says what needs to be said. There must be a similar call regarding Metropolitan Onufriy of Chernovtsy. Otherwise, the autocephaly trends in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will become irreversible”.

    Kirill Frolov interferes also with the affairs of the structures of the Russian Orthodox Church. In December, 2015, Vsevolod Chaplin was dismissed, however, the email dump of Frolov the “church-going expert” mentions his dismissal as early as in September, 2011, when he writes a note to the Patriarch with the following subject: “Eventual side effects of the decision on replacement of Head of the Synodal Department for Public and Media Relations of the Church in October, 2011”. He sends the same note to Chaplin, however, as a shortened version with the following passage removed: “The most probable scenario is the delay of the personnel decision regarding Head of the Synodal Department for Public and Media Relations of the Church until the spring of 2012, when the presidential and parliamentary elections campaigns will have been finished. Until then, the recommended solution is implementing a “probation period” during which father V. Chaplin will have to eliminate the existing drawbacks in his work. He is to be assisted in his activities (including political and media planning, organization of a regional network of eparchial departments for Church public relations) by auxiliary structures, including expert and analytical ones, as well as by additional approved persons”.

    Frolov’s dump also mentions interference with the Ukrainian army. At the suggestion of A. Novikov, a pro-Russian priest from Odesa, Frolov was contacted by General Hryhoriy Pedchenko, then Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine. Frolov describes Pedchenko as follows: “One of the few people with pro-Russian views, an Orthodox member of the Moscow Patriarchate, his confessor is Archpriest Andrey Novikov, secretary of the Odesa eparchy, who is well-known for his anti-Bandera and strong pro-Moscow views. Pedchenko’s next political ambition is the position of Minister of Defense. This will serve Russia’s interests in view of the fact that the current Minister of Defense, Yezhel, has got exposed in provocations against Russian Black Sea Fleet. Pedchenko’s aide and authorized representative, General Vladimir Abrosimov is prepared to arrive to Moscow promptly” (the message contains an error in the name, the correct name is Pavel). Frolov attaches great significance to this contact and plans to arrange a meeting between the generals and Putin. Pavel Abrosimov did come for a visit, and on the negotiations outcome, Frolov develops an action plan for prevention of conclusion of the Free Trade Area Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, particularly, by influencing Yanukovych through the Church: “In this matter all available options must be used, including the underestimated ones. The first such option is the factor of fear. Yanukovych’s trusted persons must open his eyes to the fact that his rating drops faster than the stock indexes, faster than Yushchenko’s rating was dropping. However, contrary to Yushchenko, he is of no interest to anyone in the West, so his only destiny is trial and prison. His only savior is Russia”. On this matter, he writes to Viktor Voronin to support him within the FSB.

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: extremely important To: sirius1919 <sirius1919@mail.ru> Viktor, have you forwarded my previous material to the right people? Please push on the Staraya Square about me – now is a good opportunity.

    There is one more important text

    From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru> Subject: Abrosimov To: kfzatulin <kfzatulin@gmail.com> Grachov is speaking against Abrosimov, because Grachov is jealous about someone else contacting the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

    Quote: “Another important achievement for Russia. Secretary of Metropolitan Agaphangel, Archpriest Andrey Novikov who is close to Patriarch Kirill, has become confessor of Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine, General Hryhoriy Pedchenko. Pedchenko requests a meeting with His Holiness and Naryshkin in January, 2012. This is a good chance of making Archpriest Andrey Novikov, a passionate supporter of Ukraine-Russia reunion, the confessor of Yanukovych, Azarov and Tabachnyk”.

    He is making plans: “According to our sources in Odesa, Viktor Nusenkis is desperately trying to convince Patriarch Kirill of the absence of candidates to the position of Metropolitan of Kiev except Metropolitan Hilarion of Donetsk. Nusenkis refers to the position of V. Yanukovych. At the same time, after the service on November 23 in Kiev, Metropolitan Agaphangel of Odesa became a true popular hero among Orthodox believers of Kyiv. Moreover, they fear that if the choice is to be made between Hilarion and Onufriy, Onufriy will win. At the same time, if the choice is to be made between Agaphangel and Onufriy, Agaphangel will win which will be the best outcome for Russia.
    In the current situation, I believe that the opinion of the President and the Prime Minister of Russia in favor of Metropolitan Agaphangel should outweigh the opinion of Yanukovych and Nusenkis. If absolutely necessary, there may be a compromise – Metropolitan Agaphangel becomes the Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, Archbishop Ionafan (Yeletskykh) – Head of the Department of External Church Relations of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, Archpriest Andrey Novikov – Head of the Department for Church Public Relations which has to be created within the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. Also he has to be given the cathedral of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate at the Verkhovna Rada, which is currently served by some mediocrity, while Novikov could actively promote the pro-Russian views”.

    Before the council of the Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church on 20.12.13, he is trying to promote Agaphangel and Novikov through the Patriarch – Your Holiness-nov.

    The messages suggest that there is a direct channel of influencing Yanukovych, someone close to him, and the influence is exercised not only at the rational level, but also through fear at the psychological level. However, the influencing person’s name is never mentioned in the analyzed part of the dump.

    In November, 2011, the Patriarch flies to Syria where peaceful protests have been going on for the previous six month met by savage crackdowns by the government. On the occasion of this visit, Frolov writes the following note: “Patriarch Kirill’s pastoral visit to Syria is especially vital “here and now”, because those who seek to establish a “new world order” where, by the way, there will be no place for Russia (“a small republic on the ruins of Russia” is a colony), seek to bring down the President of Syria Bashar al-Assad, a friend and partner of Russia. If he suffers the fate of Gaddafi, the Islamists supported by the “Washington Central Committee” will not leave alone either the Patriarchate of Antioch or the Russian Navy base in Syria. So, the Patriarch’s visit to Syria is extremely important, it is not just a “protocol visit” but a visit of a spiritual leader about to change the course of the world history for the better”.

    Now we know what this interference with the course of history brought. The entire world shuddered at the Aleppo events which had started in a seemingly innocent manner, with a visit of the Patriarch…
