Episode 5"},"content":{"rendered":"

This is Episode 5 of the #FrolovLeaks Saga. To our new readers, we recommend starting with the previous parts of the series in the Hacktivism<\/a> section where you can find the descriptions and backgrounds. In total, there will be seven episodes, the last one to include the full dump of the correspondence of the Kremlin\u2019s \u201cchurch-going expert\u201d on Ukraine, Vice-Director of the Institute for CIS Countries, spokesman of the Union of Orthodox Citizens Kirill Frolov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the hacktivists of the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA)<\/em><\/a>, we can now see and analyze the long journey of the political and clerical schemes of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate reflected in Kirill Frolov\u2019s correspondence in the period from 1997 to 2016. Today, we will briefly look at the year 2012 then moving on to the period of 2014-2016 when, in addition to the ideological war and manipulations, the Russian Federation also started a military occupation of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The UCA hacktivists are intently following the Russian backstage\u2019s reception of the #FrolovLeaks materials release. The next publication will be of a special interest to the member of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Director of the Institute for CIS Countries Konstantin Zatulin<\/strong>. The publications should also give some concern to the famous \u201cchurch-going\u201d Russian biker, leader of the Night Wolves motorcycle club Alexander \u201cThe Surgeon\u201d Zaldostanov<\/strong>, a Putin\u2019s minion and a close friend of Kirill Frolov. We also noticed certain interest on the part of Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin<\/strong> who recommends Frolov to deny everything in the usual \u201cThis is all a lie!\u201d<\/em> manner, at the same time playing a humble PR expert who is \u201cNot ashamed of anything described in that correspondence\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, Frolov\u2019s correspondence in 2012 (email dump<\/strong>)<\/a> reflects the main events of that period: mock elections of the President of the Russian Federation, parliamentary elections in Ukraine, events in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and the \u00a0Pussy Riot<\/strong><\/a> scandal. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pussy Riot is a Russian punk rock band who on February 21, 2012, performed a punk prayer titled \u201cVirgin Mary, Mother of God, Put Putin Away\u201d in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Note that it was Kirill Frolov and people close to him who wrote to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation demanding the band to be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Kirill Frolov\u2019s cooperation with law enforcement agencies and government authorities increased significantly. Among other things, we note his correspondence with someone named Vasiliy Vasilievich (platon2989@rambler.ru<\/a>), apparently a supervisor at the law enforcement or state security structures. The correspondence continued from March 31, 2011 till October 14, 2012 (294 messages<\/em>). Frolov sent him detailed reports of the meetings with foreign diplomats and journalists, Orthodox activists and priests. In his messages to this addressee, Frolov even described in great detail his meetings with Patriarch Kirill Gundyayev, <\/strong>the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.<\/p>\n

A couple of quotes:<\/em><\/strong>
\n
\n<\/em>\u201cHis Grace Agaphangel wants to send this article to Legoyda<\/em> as if \u201cfor approval\u201d, please make sure that Legoyda is informed that this article should be approved without any questioning and promoted in the central mass media of Russia! <\/em>[since December 24, 2015, Vladimir Legoyda held the position of Chairman of the Synodal Department for Church Public and Media Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate \u2013 IN] (21.01.12);<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201c\u2026Please also be informed that we have recruited 200 persons for the rallies to chant \u201cOur Patriarch Kirill \u2013 God has blessed him\u201d. I am working on increasing their number, planning a trip to Kyiv\u201d<\/em> (21.07.12);<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly Loginov could leak information to Pavlovsky \u2013 he worked in the Foundation for Effective Politics and is trying to sniff out my contacts\u201d<\/em> (9.07.12).<\/p>\n

Although Frolov sent such discreditable messages about political expert K.\u00a0Loginov, his partner in a number of clerical-political projects, to many people including the Patriarch, this is what he wrote to Loginov himself: \u201cBy the way, during these months I mentioned you in my recommendations only in a positive way, as a key person. Again, please do not believe the cheats, even those you consider to be your friends \u2013 I do not rule out a political version, however, a personal jealousy motive is also possible\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Frolov receives interesting assignments from \u201cVasiliy Vasilievich\u201d: \u201cAn Orthodox public reaction to the Pussy Riot case must be urgently arranged. We have to discuss our priority actions in the nearest future\u201d<\/em>. Later, this materialized in a number of aggressive actions on the part of Frolov and his associates.<\/p>\n

Another example \u2013 Frolov is coordinating the appointment of Vladimir Bukarsky<\/a>, a pro-Russian activist from Moldova, with the Presidential Administration referred to as “Staraya Sq.” by Frolov.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What does this freak have to do with this? The Association of Orthodox Experts is a serious organization, I was at the Staraya Square yesterday, you are being closely monitored! Delete this! Change it!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mon, 07 May 2012 16:14:46 +0400 from Vladimir Bukarsky <v-b1973@mail.ru><\/em><\/p>\n

Who are you afraid of \u2013 Belous?<\/em><\/p>\n

Subject: the future<\/em><\/p>\n

To: Vladimir Bukarsky <v-b1973@mail.ru><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have really been to the Staraya Sq. They are truly interested in you. You have to understand that to say openly that we do not care about their worthless lives will be TOO MUCH. You have written a harsh enough message already.<\/em><\/p>\n

A better message will be \u201cRiot Police \u2013 Act!\u201d If you say \u201ckill\u2019, it would look as if we are enjoying this. We are no sadists, violence is necessary, but as the \u201cleast-evil solution\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is how Putin puts it. So does the Patriarch.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are experts. And we strike in style.<\/em><\/p>\n

Please listen to me. You have your future ahead of you.<\/em><\/p>\n

My hugs and congratulations, but please hear what I am saying.<\/em><\/p>\n

He contacts Donetsk where the \u201cRusskiy Blok\u201d (Russian Bloc) political party and Donbasskaya Rus (Donbas Russia) NGO, as well as other pro-Russian organizations, hold their events \u2014 Donetsk celebrated the Day of Unity with Russia<\/a>, Regional Integration panel discussion<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Frolov\u2019s contact is Sergej Buntovskij<\/a>, a \u201cRussian movement\u201d visionary, leader of Donetsk municipal organization of the Russkiy Blok party.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An action group \u201cDonbas for the Eurasian Union (EAEU)\u201d is formed (Donbas for the Eurasian Union – about the movement.DOC<\/a>), which is supervised by A.\u00a0Bredihin<\/a> through the Cossacks. The Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) flag on the wall is another reminder of the fact that the war was not triggered by the Maidan, it had been started by the Russian intelligence agencies much earlier. The photo was made in February 2012.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Frolov pursues his ambitions to participate in political processes: \u201cI could be made member of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, there are 13 vacancies now due to the \u201cwhite ribbon\u201d deserters. Am I worse than someone like Oreshkin? Please assist\u201d. \u201cI am as good as Lebedev, Kholmogorov, Wasserman or Shevchenko! I want to speak at the rally!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For that purpose, he writes a message to S. Govorukhin<\/a>, head of Putin\u2019s election campaign team, and offers his resources. He also sends him an interview with Metropolitan Agaphangel of Odesa \u2014 interview.DOC.<\/a><\/p>\n

Frolov names the coordinators of the Association of Orthodox Experts <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pro-Russian activists in Ukraine are also involved in Putin\u2019s support campaign. For example, S. Moiseev from Kharkiv is planning a rally at the Russian consulate:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201c\u2026we need a contingency reserve; some of the Cossack leaders or other social activists may also demand money. Why? First, nobody would believe that Moscow allocates nothing to the leaders, whatever I say, people will think that Moiseev received money from Moscow and is not willing to share. Next time, no leaders will respond.<\/em><\/p>\n

List of organizations:<\/em><\/p>\n

Chernobyl Veterans Council, Proskurin<\/em><\/p>\n

Russkoe Veche (Russian Assembly), Makarov<\/em><\/p>\n

Margelov Followers, Gurin<\/em><\/p>\n

Cossack units: Vernoye, Sloboda Ukraine, Lozova, Chuhuyiv, Kutepov\u2019s Fund, Drozdov’s guys.<\/em><\/p>\n

To motivate the leaders, we actually need about 1000 UAH per leader,<\/em><\/p>\n

Including Rus Triedinaya (<\/em>Triune Russia), we have ten organizations which makes 10000 UAH.<\/em><\/p>\n

TOTAL: 122500 UAH or approximately 15-16 thousand USD.<\/em><\/p>\n

We will arrive with the flags of organizations, posters, newspapers, leaflets and other creative ideas\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After a failed rally where few people showed up, Moiseev again writes about money explaining his failures with lack of financing. He should have already realized that a pro-Russian movement did not take off in Kharkiv not for lack of money but for the absence of social grounds.<\/p>\n

Frolov is thinking more and more of himself, for example, he sends the following note to V.\u00a0Voronin, a Ukrainian official, First Deputy Chairman of the State Archival Service of Ukraine, partner and co-author of D.\u00a0Tabachnyk and his communication channel to the top authorities of the Russian Federation: \u201cLook, why would I need Zatulin<\/strong> for the rest of my life? I have to work in the Presidential Administration!\u201d.<\/em> Other message: \u201cNow another youngster, Sasha Bosykh, has been appointed Head of Government Commission on Dialogue with the Young People of Caucasus. I, the social activist, am left out again\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

He writes to A.\u00a0Grachev<\/a>, Deputy Chief of the Presidential Directorate for Interregional Relations and Cultural Contacts, ex-Consul General of Russia in Odesa: \u201cWe have to give something to Metropolitan Pavel. Kharkiv? Archbishop Ioanafan must also get something \u2013 he is the most pro-Moscow blogger in Ukraine who has been openly condemning Drabinko for many years. What could it be? It must be a large metropolia. If not Kharkiv, then Zhytomyr. Or we can place Sergiy to Zhytomyr and give Odesa to Ioanafan \u2013 he has a sense of humor, he is a blogger and a missionary actively communicating with journalists and the public, Odesa will like that\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is interesting how such citizens of Russia as Kirill Frolov are meddling with the matters of the Ukrainian church.<\/p>\n

He mentions Tabachnyk and Voronin often in his messages, for example:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From: Kirill Frolov <frolov_moskva@mail.ru><\/em><\/p>\n

Subject: Tabachnyk<\/em><\/p>\n

To: marina <ima1646362@yandex.ru><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why have I paid attention to the Minister of Education of Ukraine D.\u00a0Tabachnyk? He is in very close contact with the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, as is his assistant, Deputy Chairman of the State Archival Service of Ukraine Viktor Voronin \u2013 that one is recklessly pro-Russian. Tabachnyk writes all those anti-Bandera books. Also, Tabachnyk and Voronin like me, because I am in contact with Archbishop Seraphim (Zaliznytskiy), who used in serve in Bila Tserkva and is now Archpriest of the Cathedral on the Yauza in Moscow \u2013 he has been driven out by the Ukrainian nationalists, Archbishop Seraphim baptized Tabachnyk and made him a true man. Before his Holy Baptism, Tabchnyk was an ordinary pragmatist supporting Kuchma and afterwards he became a Russophile.<\/em><\/p>\n

In one of his messages, Kirill Frolov lays down Russia\u2019s key interests in Ukraine: \u201ca) Ukraine joining the Customs Union and then the Eurasian Union; b) official status of two languages \u2013 Russian and Ukrainian; c) democratization and federalization of Ukraine, in more honest terms \u2013 maximal weakening of the Ukrainian state; d) cementing of Ukraine\u2019s position as the canonical territory of the Moscow Patriarchate; e) establishment of the Black Sea Fleet on its historical base in Sevastopol and maximal development of its infrastructure; f) discontinuation of attempts to falsify history and Banderite trends in education and upbringing, restoration of the all-Russian self-identification of the triune Russian people; and g) Russian control over the gas transportation system and key industries of Ukraine; h) military union, eradication of Banderite trends in the Ukrainian army and security services\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

He distributes the correspondence of allegedly one of the pro-Ukrainian priests of the Ukrainian Church of the Moscow Patriarchate \u2013 we cannot evaluate its authenticity, therefore, will not quote it here. At the same time, we can confirm the authenticity of Frolov\u2019s dump, thus we can quote him saying that this discrediting correspondence became disclosed thanks to Bishop Ionafan (Yeletskykh) of Tulchyn for whom this \u201cspirit child\u201d works at the media company Liviy Bereg. From another message we understand that he refers to Sonya Koshkina: \u201c\u2026Sonya Koshkina is a pocket journalist of Vice Prime Minister Kolesnikov, for her to fly to Thailand is like to go out for breakfast\u2026 She was the one who took the correspondence to Archbishop Ionafan and to Chalenko. Smart Sonya \u2013 got everything out of \u2026 and then leaked it. Thumbs up!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

General Pedchenko, Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine, continued his activities aiming to assist the Russian Federation. Frolov writes to Alexey Mukhin<\/a>, Director General of the Centre<\/a> for Political Information, about Pedchenko requesting a meeting with Sergei Ivanov<\/a>, Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia: \u201cIt is entirely possible that he becomes Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine soon\u2026 Pedchenko is not just a pro-Russian top official, he is closely connected to Oleksandr Yanukovych, son of the President of Ukraine, who is now putting together a group of people personally loyal to Yanukovych, and placing them at key positions \u2013 in the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense, etc. And this is not all. Please also be informed that H.\u00a0Pedchenko is not just going to church, he has started confessions with Archpriest Andrey Novikov. Of course, the Archbishop will never break the seal of confession in respect of personal sins, however, he can share strategic information <\/strong>as well as influence Pedchenko for Russia\u2019s benefit\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

In another message he says that he is connected to O. Yanukovych via his associate, General Abrosimov.<\/p>\n

His messages show Frolov\u2019s increasing radicalism: \u201cthere will be no stepping back in Moscow. Only forward, to Berlin!\u201d,<\/strong> \u201cseparatists \u2013 to the gallows!\u201d<\/strong>, \u201cthe enemy has been eliminated\u201d<\/em>, and so on. He starts joint events with Enteo, a known agent provocateur. He vents his hate and contempt towards any opinion which is different from his own. In his messages, he trashes many Russian Orthodox activists and priests. In this correspondence, there are some futile attempts to resist Frolov\u2019s insanity, for example, Yury Belanovskiy<\/a> writes the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn three years, Kirill has provided conditions for the destruction of everything which existed in the domain of missionary activities, catechesis and work with young people while Patriarch Alexy was in power. It will be stupid to deny it. He is methodically working on creating a bureaucratic establishment, encouraging ass-kissing and total departure from reality!<\/strong>.. Kirill, stop acting like a Komsomol member. If you do not want to criticize clerical hierarchy \u2013 then don\u2019t. But don\u2019t deny the truth at the same time! You have to understand that all your protectors and friends will throw you out like garbage if, all of a sudden, they find they no longer need you. I have seen such things happen!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It is funny that in his correspondence Frolov spreads gossip even about the private life of the Putins<\/strong> who were still a couple then. Obviously, he continues along the line of fake stories<\/a> about Lyudmila Putina’s pregnancy<\/a>, <\/strong>that started to circulate in the church circles after her absence from the Easter celebrations.<\/p>\n

The correspondence shows that there were two pro-Russian activity centers in Ukraine \u2013 Donetsk and Crimea, of which we became witnesses after the events of 2014. The Sevastopol branch of the Institute of CIS Countries was very active, for example, it hosted several visits of the journalistic school with students and young journalists from Crimea, Luhansk Region and other regions of Ukraine. Among the participants, we can find the names of Oksana Shkoda, political expert Dmitriy Vydrin, Konstantin Zatulin, Russian MP, and others. The lists of mass media include Novoross.info<\/a> (Sergey Georgiyev, Alexey Goncharov) \u2014 List 30.03<\/a>; List of attendees with origins<\/a>; List of attendees_alphabetical13062011<\/a>; Links<\/a>; List of Odesa journalists<\/a>. After the trainings, the attendees rated Frolov rather poorly, he responded with an outpour of accusations of a conspiracy against him personally. He informs Zatulin about Crimean consul V.\u00a0Andreyev<\/a> reporting on him. And having been dismissed as instructor in one of the sessions, Frolov complains about Zatulin \u201cto the top\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Frolov, who calls himself in one of his messages \u201cthe Patriarch\u2019s favorite\u201d<\/strong>, was one evening received by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Kirill Gundyayev<\/strong> who charged him with a media special op.<\/strong> Frolov is asked to hush up the so-called \u201cdusty case<\/a>\u201d \u2014 a scandalous court case exposing Gundyayev\u2019s lavish lifestyle and an apartment in a premium-class housing estatecovered in dust from repairs in a neighboring apartment<\/strong> which coincided with the Pussy Riot case and another scandal around Patriarch’s expensive watch \u201cerased through Photoshop\u201d. In that meeting Frolov also put forward suggestions about interfering with the affairs of the Ukrainian church and politics and was promised assistance and protection. The result was the appearance of the text under the title Who2<\/a> (an urgent assignment by the Patriarch)<\/strong> written under the pseudonym A.\u00a0Globa suggested by the Gundyayev himself (we believe that this is a reference to the pseudonym of Archimandrite Alexander Globa<\/a>, a friend of priest Yu.\u00a0Shevchenko, the defendant in the \u201cdusty case\u201d). The text was distributed by the mass media and loyalist bloggers. Afterwards Frolov reported to his customer: \u201cYour Holiness! A.\u00a0Globa\u2019s article caused a great stir, the mission has been accomplished. Standing by for the next \u201cmilitary operations\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Confidential. I have described your new level of relations with His Holiness to Zatulin in great detail. I mentioned that you were received by His Holiness for an hour while Metropolitans were kept waiting \u2013 I would like to specifically emphasize that here I quoted Kuksov, not you. This had an effect on Zatulin who started telling me that the Patriarch can only trust the most loyal people one of whom is Frolov. I supported that to the utmost. So, as you see, I can make it worth your while. But remember: I learned everything from KUKSOV.<\/em><\/p>\n

    From Frolov\u2019s correspondence, it becomes clear that Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev is sponsored, as well as influenced, by Leonid Mikhailovich Sevastianov who was sent<\/a> for training to Rome and Washington by Gundyayev when he was still Metropolitan of Smolensk and Kaliningrad. Immediately after that, Sevastianov became a co-founder and director general of StratinvestRu international company that provided consulting services on all business matters (commerce, legal, tax, financial) in such industries as power production, communications, transportation, and infrastructure. Since 2009, he has been a member of the board of directors<\/a> of PROTEK<\/a> OJSC pharmaceutical company and head<\/a> of St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation. Frolov plans to engage Sevastianov for eventual financing of the \u201chumanitarian mission\u201d in Crimea intended to \u201cexpand recruiting opportunities<\/strong>\u201d and to influence the Ukrainian parliamentary elections. Frolov also looks to introduce Sevastianov to Sergey Gavrilov, Deputy of the State Duma from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, a member of inter-factional group on the protection of Christian values.<\/p>\n

In any case, today he is the only one in Ukraine who can turn everything towards Russia and block all those Drabinkos and corrupt politicians from Bankova. He seems to have written everything correctly and to make correct proposals. Maybe, it is time to start communicating with him, as Yanukovych, I guess, has already dumped everybody?<\/em><\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s the link: http:\/\/vybor-ua.org.ua\/index.php<\/em><\/p>\n

    The administrative activity in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate was picking up speed \u2013 synods were held, decisions made, and Frolov was closely monitoring it all, writing recommendations that were not followed as often as they used to be. The resistance within the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was running strong.<\/p>\n

    The next Synod is scheduled for May 27 in Kharkiv to celebrate the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of the Kharkiv council.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The Jubilee Synod is the perfect time for taking revenge!<\/em><\/p>\n

    On May 15 Yanukovych will be in Moscow. As you know, the West has abandoned him, and Interpol is about to start searching for his money.<\/em><\/p>\n

    He has nowhere to go except Moscow.<\/em><\/p>\n

    It is critical that he visits His Holiness where everything should be settled.<\/em><\/p>\n

    It is a unique chance! It must not be wasted<\/em><\/p>\n

    New assignments were planned in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate to increase the Russian influence.<\/p>\n
