Priest Gennady Emelyanov where he now works. According to your faith may it be for you... - Gennady Emelyanov

On the edge of a cliff, beyond which there is eternity,
You stand alone in the grip of strange dreams
And, having said goodbye to the world, you want to become carefree,
Play with the fire of alien thunderstorms.
Finally you are happy like no one else in the world,
Angel dust carries you upward.
Only she can control both delight and the wind,
Your laughter sounds in the “liquid skies”.
Angel dust -
This is a dream and reality!

A madman, a fugitive - there is no way,
You're seeing the wrong light.
Your angel lit a mirage of fire
He wants to kill you...
On the edge of a cliff, an unearthly song,
Music of the gods and voices of the goddesses.
You soar above the world, but the merchant of paradise
He will take the soul out of you for heroin.
You got tired of being a bird and fell like a stone,
Fell from a height, escaping fate.
On the edge of the cliff they fly into the flames again
Hundreds of suicide moths
(Margarita Pushkina. "Angel Dust")

There is a contagious Orthodox disease - craving for dope. Moreover, the stupider the nonsense, the stronger the craving. This is a kind of spiritual addiction - dissatisfaction with the ordinary Christian life and, as a result, a search for strong, exciting sensations ("grace-filled"). To get the “Orthodox high” you need spiritual drugs: “elders”, “prophecies about the end of the world”, “Antichrist”, “freemasons”, “sorcerers”, “INN”, “three sixes”, “healings” and the like. “Drug lords” with an Orthodox connotation are pseudo-elders, false blessed ones, various extremist loudmouths and... authors of dubious, to put it mildly, little books. And this “angel dust” is being spread among Orthodox Christians quite legally - through the church book network. There are now dozens of publications being published that should be labeled: “Caution! Psychotropic drug! Consult a psychiatrist!” But, unfortunately, now in the Church there is no censorship that would stop this drug flow of pseudo-spirituality. Therefore, we have to react and warn people about the spiritual danger of certain books only after they are widely distributed among the church people.

Today we are going to talk about one of the last “drugs” in an Orthodox package. This drug is called “Slavik”.

About the book

This book, which will be discussed, is called: “God says to His chosen ones...”. The author-compiler is Lydia Emelyanova, the wife of priest Gennady Emelyanov, who serves in the Church of St. Job the Long-Suffering, which is at the Volkov cemetery in St. Petersburg. It was this priest (if you believe the author) who compiled the “spiritual explanations” for the texts of the book. These explanations “are very important for readers for correct understanding and spiritual understanding” (p. 8). Remember these words - we will have to return to them more than once.

The book was written from the words of people who were familiar with the boy Slavik (the main character of this book), who received “healings” from him (that’s right - according to the new Orthodox spelling, the letter “s” is not used in prefixes for some reason. I am familiar with ultra-pious discussions about that you cannot write the prefix “demon-”, so as not to please the demons, you must write “without-” everywhere. What the “healing” was guilty of is not clear, and, probably, it is not clear to the authors themselves, because it sometimes appears in the texts " is-". Well, okay, this, as they say now, is all “internal scientific” disputes.). One of the main characters in the book is Slavochka’s mother, Valentina Afanasievna Krasheninnikova, who was the first to compile a brochure about her son: “Oh, mother-mama...”. Lydia Emelyanova met Valentina Afanasievna and became friends with her, based on this friendship a new book was created.

The events of the book mainly take place in the city of Chebarkul-4, Chelyabinsk region.

The book was published in 2007 at the Educational and Charitable Center "Annunciation" at the expense of a certain r. Alevtina of God "with the blessing of Archbishop Nikon of Ufa and Sterlitamak"

By the way, a note: some of the publishing house’s employees are also co-authors of the book, as they have experienced the miracles that come from Slavochka. But to make it even more convincing of the significance of everything that is written in the book, it is stated that the book was allegedly blessed by the spiritual father of the Emelyanov couple - “elder schema-abbot Alexy of Penza (Mikhail Shumilin)”, the Trinity-Sergius elders - Kirill and Naum; Priest Peter, who “is familiar with many famous people of the fatherland, often talks with His Holiness Patriarch Alexy” (p. 378) ... In general, it is made clear that any criticism is initially swept aside.

What is the brief essence of the book? Here's what we learn from the Preface:

“God’s mercy towards us is the appearance of a youth, whose whole life is serving God and people, and his prophecies are a clear translation for today of the Revelation of the holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian. Everything is possible with God, that’s why he was sent to us, according to the foretold providence of God , pure youth Vyacheslav" (p. 4).

For those who are not familiar with the intricacies of logic, let me explain: since “everything is possible” with God, then... you can continue to write whatever you want. And what if the author of the book knows some mysterious “predicted providence of God”!

“The youth Vyacheslav really wanted to help all people, to give them the opportunity to be healed from spiritual, mental and physical illnesses, and through healing to come to faith and God. At any moment of your life - difficult and joyful, in illness or sadness - you can turn to him : ask for help, pray, go to his grave for consolation, deliverance from illnesses, thanksgiving and admonition" (p. 7).

So, “the only one in the history of Orthodoxy”... Previously, unreasonable me, it seemed that in the history of Orthodoxy there is only one “only one” - Christ Himself... But let’s not distract ourselves from the story for now, it promises to be unique. (When quoting, I leave the text exactly as it was printed. Shame on the book’s proofreaders.)

"Life"

So that no one doubts the “holiness” of the boy Slavik, his “life” opens with a prayer and troparion (extremely, by the way, clumsy and illiterate), where the youth is given the title of “Ural and Siberian” and the rank of holiness: “prophet, healer and great martyr...” . Let us not again remind you of the prerogative of the highest hierarchy to introduce liturgical texts into use, otherwise we might be branded as nit-picking... It’s better to pay attention to some lines of the prayer:

“And as it was bequeathed about you by the holy Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, the Wonderworker, that the Lord will send His servant to Russia in recent times for the salvation of many.

Behold, we believe and pray to you, the all-valid Vyacheslav, who endured attacks, beatings, torments on earth and said to his mother in her pity: do not cry for me, my mother, such are the torments here, such are the rewards in Heaven.”

And this is already serious: God has one “Youth” - Christ, and “don’t cry for Me, Mother” - this is the irmos of the 9th song of the canon of Great Saturday, an appeal to the Mother of God. Such parallels are blasphemous, and besides, they run like a red thread throughout the book.

Slavik was born on March 22, 1982. A month before his birth, the boy’s parents woke up in the morning to “wonderful music,” loud and with an “unearthly sound.” Of course, no one except them heard this music (pp. 12-13).

The birth also took place with a sign. The baby was brought to the mother by a mysterious nurse with “deep eyes” and a voice “full of strength and authority.” The nurse in the hospital turned out to be unknown.

The boy was born unusual. He had such a “piercing gaze” that, according to his mother, he “saw through any person, with his character, illnesses, past and present. He knew literally everything about any person who turned to him, he saw his illnesses , ailments, internal organs, lymph nodes, and sometimes he directly said: “You know, auntie, you don’t have cancer.”

It’s also amazing, but Slavik saw what was going on at this man’s house, saw his family, knew the sins of his family, and also knew how to cure him” (p. 15).

A wonderful boy with very useful abilities. At Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh also had similar abilities in his youth, he even intended to become a doctor because of this, but then he prayed to God and said: “Lord, if this gift is from You, show me it, and if it is from the evil one, deliver me from it! ". And all these psychic gifts disappeared. But the boy is our “one and only” and unique...

At an appointment with a neurologist, it turned out that the boy “has a delicate nervous psyche, and he should not be vaccinated” (p. 16). Also relevant: in our time it has become good form to fight against vaccinations, now any pious fool can say that my child has a delicate psyche, and you are screwed with your vaccinations. Moreover, this doctor turned out to be out of this world, like that nurse - no one else saw her...

And here’s what Slavik himself said about himself (if, of course, you believe your mom):

"...Oh, mother, mother,

I'm not little anymore

Oh, mother, mother,

I'm many years old!.."

One day, singing these words from a song, Slavik came up to me and looking at me with his piercing gaze, very seriously said: “You know, mommy, I really am very old. I’m almost ancient!”

Slavik told me that he remembers himself before birth: “There was a canvas road, I rushed along it at great speed, and stopped only at a deep abyss, it had no bottom, you couldn’t get out of it. And next to me I saw a tall man, dressed as if in monastic robes. At the very tip of this man's index finger there was a small, burning lamp hanging on a chain. Accidentally, the slightly bent edge of the robe revealed a dazzling light that was impossible to look at. This man calmly stepped over the abyss and stopped on the other side. Turning to me, he looked at me carefully and said: “Jump!" I ran, jumped, and barely stayed on the opposite edge of the abyss. Then I was left alone, walked a little forward. Turned to the side onto some hard, dark the road, like a tunnel and... ended up with you, mommy!"

Slavik remembered how he was getting ready to come here to us:

The Most Holy Trinity and my friends gave me a little strength from themselves. And I went to you here on the sinful Earth.

“I, Mommy, then already knew that the Earth was sinful,” said Slavik, “but I went to do everything to help save people... Then, when I return back to Them and show Them my wounds, They will ask: “How did you survive all this?” And they will thank me very much for something...” (p. 17-18)

Well, you can understand the little boy that in his fantasies he did not know that the idea of ​​​​the pre-existence of souls has long been condemned as a heresy. His story can also be understood in such a way that he is an angel incarnate. His housewife mom is also unlikely to have heard that this is a similar heresy. But where was Father Gennady Emelyanov looking?! Or did he get bad marks in some subjects at the seminary, since he missed such obvious mistakes?..

In general, Father Gennady sometimes simply amazes with his “spiritual” comments (unless they were composed by Mother Lydia herself). Here is what he writes, for example, on the topic of Slavikov’s baptism:

“Every priest many times has to baptize people who are not believers, who are far from both the church and God. (!! - A.P.) But the very sacrament of baptism is a miracle, inexplicable, full of mystery. Sometimes the soul of the priest, participating in the miracle, is illuminated from within indescribable joy, which strengthens it, does not make it possible to perform this baptism mechanically. The godlessness of people is a heavy burden and one cannot overcome it on one’s own. But how the soul rejoices when God-loving people - such as Slavik - are baptized. This is already on Earth a reward for priests for confessing labor" (p.23).

It’s not clear: is this repeated baptism of non-believers “confessional work”?! And I thought that this was a grave sin for a priest, for which he would be punished as someone who neglects God’s work...

Gradually, the boy discovers more and more new talents: he knows in advance what will happen soon, sees some visions, constantly hears a voice:

“When Slavik was five and a half years old, his mother learned from him that he loves God more than all people, that he often hears a woman’s voice that tells him everything, that this voice is alive and speaks about the main thing. And the voices of the people around him seem to be dead and that people talk about such empty and insignificant things that he is very ashamed of them” (p. 29).

“And he also said that he knows the thoughts of our and the American president. And in general, he knows the thoughts of all people, where, what nuclear missiles are located and how many, that for him there are absolutely no secrets on earth. He was seven years old at that time, and already people came to him for treatment” (p. 33).

There are two options: either Slavik is the Lord God Himself, once again incarnate (for only the Lord can be omniscient), or someone really needs to be treated...

Slavik’s entire short life was, on the one hand, like that of an ordinary boy: he went to school, played with toys, with friends. But even from the ordinary, the authors of the book are constantly trying to draw unusual conclusions. So, at school in the 3rd grade, one boy offended Slavik. Slavik’s mother met this hooligan at school and asked:

"Why are you pestering Slavik? Why are you fighting? Did he offend you?

“I don’t know..,” Vova said and cried a lot, there was a feeling that he sincerely did not understand why he was doing this, and he was not happy with himself” (p. 42).

Of course, there’s nothing to be happy about - now your aunt will take you by the ear and drag you to your parents! But for some reason Father Gennady decided to make comments:

“A person does not know, but a demon knows what he is doing. He tries, through his inner circle, to annoy the one doing God’s work. By the way, this is one of the direct signs of his pleasing to God. It is not for nothing that they say that if a person has not suffered temptation for a good deed, then it is not accepted by God. When it comes to saving the soul, the entire demonic world is up in arms, without God’s help no one can resist here. Therefore, the boy did not understand why he pestered Slavik, but only cried" (p. 42).

Like this: if you were hit in the ear at the age of 9, then this is a “direct” sign of your pleasing to God and means that all hell has turned against you! Father, forgive me, you are delusional...

The boy Slavik loved to read. His favorite book is the Biblical Encyclopedia, which Slavik read to page 766 and stopped at “The Farewell Conversation of Jesus Christ with the Disciples”... He also studied the Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary and made bookmarks in languages: Phoenician, Greek, Ancient Arabian, etc. One day a boy was sitting and talking in an unknown language. Mom asked:

"- Slavochka, what's wrong with you? What language do you speak?

What language did Jesus Christ speak, Mommy!” (p.56).

“Slavik could speak other languages. I saw that animals, birds and plants understood him. When I asked: “Slavik, what is this language that you sometimes speak? I have never heard this anywhere." He replied: "This is not earthly" (p. 71).

To check Slavik's gifts, Valentina Afanasievna went with her son to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra to see Elder Naum. The boy grabbed the old man by the robe and said: “And I have gifts from God.” To which the elder replied: “Now we’ll deal with your gifts!” (p.61).

And he figured it out - he sent a nun - a doctor - to talk to Slavik... He himself only confessed his mother and gave Slavochka the Gospel and a prayer book. From all this, Valentina Afanasievna concluded that the elder “accepted” his son, and they are now “under serious spiritual protection.” Subsequently, the Krasheninnikov family once again visited Elder Naum, he talked with the boy and invited them to move to live closer to the Lavra. But the boy predicted to his mother his imminent death and therefore the impossibility of following the elder’s advice.

But in order to consolidate the “divinity” of Slavik’s gifts, after Elder Naum they went... to the “Examination Center for Extrasensory Capabilities”! And there they found out from these psychic servants of Satan that the boy had no psychic abilities:

“He has something completely different. He has different abilities, he is a seer! Even the revolution of 1917 was made in order to destroy people ... like your son!” (p.68).

Delighted that the demons confirmed Slavik’s “chosenness”, mother and son went to eat ice cream and have fun... What can I add here...

The remaining time of his short life, Slavik was mainly engaged in “diagnosing” the diseases of everyone around him, receiving the sick and treating them, fighting sorcerers and making prophecies. At the age of ten, Slavik fell ill and died five days before his eleventh birthday.

“Slavik said: “God has shortened my life because people betray God very quickly, and therefore I won’t have time to grow up, otherwise I would have become first a doctor, and then a monk.” And he also said that “some people will be very angry to my prophecies. When they begin to come true, they will call me an evil sorcerer, but these events are destined to happen by God’s will for the sins of people; I have only been given the power to prophesy to you about the future" (p. 66).

What are these important prophecies that make people “angry”?

Prophecies

I won’t retell the prophecies, otherwise you’ll suddenly think that the priest drank Cahors and was joking... Let’s give the floor to the authors of the book:

“Slavik said that the so-called aliens, i.e. demons, are in the airspace and when planes and helicopters begin to crash frequently, it will not be because they are old or something is broken in them, but this will happen before until people understand that it is undesirable for them to occupy airspace, since human flights prevent UFOs, i.e. demons, from performing their actions in the air, because they are preparing for war with God and fool people’s heads by being in contact with the powerful people of this world.

Slavik said that aliens drag people away alive and use them as slaves; they have many places where “missing” people work in slavery. So, for example, on Earth there is what people call the Mariana Trench, at the bottom of this trench lies a thick layer of silt and other water sediments, and under them there is another bottom, where Atlantis fell through. The city is in good condition, and it is guarded by UFOs, that is, demons, so that people do not find this place. UFOs have living people in their slaves, whom they steal, but do not show themselves to them so that they do not go crazy, because the appearance of these “aliens” is terrible (p. 80).

(...) Slavik also said that semi-material UFOs use diamonds (diamonds) as fuel, which are supplied to the demons for UFOs by the “powers of this world,” that is, “initiates” from the World Government. The bigger the diamond, the better for “them”, so stories of the theft of large famous diamonds are always associated with the murder of a large number of people, not at all because of the value of these diamonds, but because they must be kept by certain people.

After some time, people will learn to make the same ships as UFOs, only using a different fuel. People will believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior, and in each aircraft there will be an unquenchable lamp and an icon of the Lord. This will be a short period when the Lord will give man the opportunity to fight with demons under the supervision of heaven.

Slavik said that when aliens take skin from a person, supposedly for analysis, then, in fact, from a small piece of skin they grow a whole layer of human skin, which they cover themselves with. They are preparing to descend on us in large numbers under the guise of aliens, driven by “evil cosmic forces”, and in fact by God, but their real appearance will be heavily disguised and they will act in the real world under the guise of real people, and sometimes a terrible “substitution” will occur " - instead of the stolen person, “this one” will appear, completely outwardly indistinguishable from the real person, and the stolen people will either be destroyed or sent into slavery.

Demons will invite people into landing UFOs all over the Earth for medical examination and treatment. People will go to them en masse for health, and will come out as “healthy zombies.” This is just one type of fooling people; there will be other methods of zombification, depending on the spiritual level of a person (p. 81-82).

(...) This is what Slavik once told his mother: “There will be one scientist who, Mommy, will really believe in me, and he and his scientist friends will invent a device for identifying demons disguised as people.

(...) Slavochka didn’t just tell stories, he seemed to be present in a future reality, so his stories about future events are surprisingly alive and reliable” (p. 83).

Well, you haven’t yet felt like a “healthy zombie” - you haven’t called a psychiatrist?.. So Father Gennady hasn’t called either, he completely agrees with Slavik:

“Today, demons are already looking at us from cartoons, from television screens, from billboards and even from the covers of school notebooks. They will come as old acquaintances and will not cause negative emotions in most people. In modern jargon, they look “cool”, and some are even attracted with your appearance. What about tomorrow?" (p.84).

It’s not at all “cool”, father, that you couldn’t find anything smarter to say about such nonsense...

Well, dear ones, do you still believe in all the blessings of the elders on such “prophecies”? Still in doubt? Then let's continue - monsters to the studio!

“He also said that soon almost all the demons will crawl out to the surface of the earth along with the devil, and in hell for some time it will be calmer than on Earth. The demons remaining in the underworld will not do their work so diligently (p. 138).

(...) Slavik said that there is a place in hell where the main big worm and many other worms crawl into a person’s nose, mouth, eyes, ears and it is very painful. Also, Slavochka told me not to go to the cemetery alone, since the worm is very smart and hears well and, sticking out a little, grabs and drags those walking alone underground.

It happens that the ground collapses under a person’s feet, and he flies into the utter darkness of hell, where he sees only many, many fiery blinking eyes surrounding him. The attacking evil spirits-demons instantly tear such a poor fellow alive into small pieces" (p. 139).

"Slavochka told many people about dinosaurs and their appearance. He said that dinosaurs would appear all over the Earth, only at different times. Everywhere underground there are voids - huge spaces where pure, clear water flows, there are rivers, many trees and many plants, very soft. Those dinosaurs that lived on Earth went underground. Due to underground nuclear explosions, they are now very large in size and are still gaining strength. In the walls of underground spaces there are a huge number of dinosaur eggs, when the climate warms, the earth will open up, there will be "the movement of huge layers of earth in different directions, or there will be holes in the ground, or landslides...", everywhere in different countries and even regions of the same country, the appearance of dinosaurs will be different. Dinosaurs will be different: herbivores and predators, and although they will not be around for long They will have time to cause a lot of trouble to the Earth” (p. 277).

Haven't you gotten sick of this kind of "wormy" gruel yet? If not, then, of course, you will eat all the other apocalyptic prophecies (which, I’m sure, the authors of the book are preparing zombified readers for). The rest of the prophecies are not much different from the collection of panicky nonsense that wanders from book to book: the last times are coming, which many of us will live to see; Disasters await us, failures of cities, famine, diseases, the “skewed” Chinese will conquer everyone, the medicines will be counterfeit (very relevant!), everyone will be given three sixes (where would we be without them!), everything will be “barcoded”, the Antichrist will come and so on, and so on... “Crystalline lattices” will fall on us from the sky, and then Angels will fly in and carry blocks of earth and level the surface of the planet... And in the end:

“When you find out who I am, you will be very frightened, because you treated me freely, and then you will rejoice and be proud of me” (p. 288). It’s unlikely - after the cemetery worms and dinosaurs outside the window, nothing can scare us anymore...

One prophecy went a little wrong: according to Slavik, the people will want to tear Gorbachev and Yeltsin to pieces when they find out the truth about them. I won’t say anything about Gorbachev, but Yeltsin let us down: he died calmly and with all honors...

Jokes aside, but it could have ended there - psychiatry is obvious. But let’s wait a little, let’s look at the topics of “healing” and “sorcerers” - they are very relevant in the church environment.

Healings and miracles

As Slavik himself said, God gave him the power to heal people so that they would believe in his prophecies. We must admit: psychologically this is true. Indeed, in essence, the “god” of many Orthodox Christians is their own “skin,” or rather, its health. Therefore, for the sake of healing, people are ready to do anything - to believe in any nonsense (as long as their backs don’t hurt!), and to hold a pebble in their cheek, and to take communion, and to sprinkle water on everything, and to worship any “warbler”. After all, if we sum up all the testimonies of the “healed”, then we clearly see what was previously called deism: God went to bed, and instead of himself left us a miracle boy, and our whole task is to obey Slavochka (or rather, his mother).

During his lifetime, Slavochka treated many people, and the description of the “treatment” has no analogues in the lives of saints for two thousand years, but one to one it resembles treatment by psychics:

“Throughout November and December 1991, Slava treated me almost every day. The treatment took from several minutes to one hour. During the treatment period, I did not take any medications. Throughout November, he seemed to be “pulling out” the infection. I felt a tingling in my cheek and pulling out something something" (p.87).

“During the treatment, I subjectively felt that very gently, almost imperceptibly, something was stretching from my head in the form of a bunch of strings” (p. 158).

Of course, treatment (like almost any “grandmother”) is always accompanied by prayers, confession, and communion, but it is absolutely clear that the power of treatment lies in Slavochka, and everything else is for the accompanying effect.

In general, Slavochka had a very unique understanding of the causes of diseases and methods of treatment. So, in the hospital, he refused to have a blood transfusion, because “with someone else’s blood, other people’s sins enter into a person, but the blood still does not take root, does not unite with one’s own blood, since it is dead” (p. 113). O. Gennady immediately echoes him, saying that blood “preserves the genetic memory of its owner, and will not live in another, but sins will come to life...” (p. 114). It’s strange, when it comes to the Jehovah’s Witnesses with their refusal to give blood transfusions, we happily make noise about how ignorant and heretical these sectarians are! Apparently, the nonsense coming from the mouth of the “holy” youth and respectable priest miraculously changes sign from minus to plus and becomes a revelation...

Other diseases in humans appear in this way:

“Once we were drinking tea and talking in the kitchen. Suddenly a pain pierced my temples very strongly, it suddenly appeared and quickly disappeared. Noticing this, Slavochka explained: “Mommy, evil spirits constantly attack a person from above. Demonic energy in the form of black clots constantly moves at high speed, trying to penetrate a person, pierce him, and if they fail, then the person still experiences sharp pain somewhere in his body, including like you are experiencing now in the temples."

Of course, we get the bulk of illnesses from sorcerers, from the evil eye and damage (we can’t do without this; prayer books with prayers “how to be healed from damage” are now sold in our church shops!). The testimonies of those “healed” are mainly related to this. Of course, you won’t find salvation in the clinic, especially since they are gradually preparing poisonous drugs, deadly vaccinations, and 9 out of 10 doctors are psychics and masons. Salvation is only in Slavochka and his shrines. After the death of a boy, a whole industry of “healings” begins: mass manifestations of the boy, a grave, where every pebble, earth, snow, air, marble is such a great and healing shrine that only the Diveyevo shrines come close in power to Slavikov’s:

“Valentina Afanasievna taught us how to use the earth, that you can simply dilute a teaspoon of it into a liter bottle of holy water and drink it as needed: for any ailments, spiritual and physical. You can sprinkle a little earth into a tablespoon and drop a few drops of holy water - with this life-giving earth -apply the cream with a cross on the sore spot - head, leg, arm - it helps amazingly, because we asked Slavochka, and through the boy the Lord helps us. And I also immediately dipped marble pebbles from the grave into the holy water, and with this water you can wash, sprinkle and drink with faith and hope for help" (p. 376-377).

And we don’t need priests - people handle pebbles and snow just fine on their own, chew them and you’re healthy! Even priest Gennady Emelyanov completely agrees with this:

“Of course, even priests can pray to God for the healing of people, pity and console them. Sometimes the Lord hears them and sends what they ask for, but here is something different. For Slavik there were and are no barriers to communication with the Heavenly world. He became His a guide..." (p. 164) Another thing is interesting: does the St. Petersburg bishop sometimes hear what the priest is carrying him?

Moreover, Slavochka’s shrines, in addition to healings, can even inspire repentance!

R. tells Bozhi Fedor (by the way, one of the workers of the educational center where the book was published):

"... I got sick. And then I remembered Slava’s scarf. I think, let me tie the scarf around my sore throat and ask Slavik to intercede for my healing.

Before I had time to tie my throat and stand up for prayer, a miracle happened! Where did the lukewarmness that just possessed me go? I stand and weep about my unworthiness! About my meanness and baseness, about vile gluttony (..) The Lord Himself is crucified for my sake, maddened in my lukewarmness! " (p. 353).

Every year it becomes more convenient to be saved - you don’t need to go into the desert to repent, now it’s enough to have the necessary scarf (pebble, etc.) and that’s it - the gift of tears is guaranteed!.. After all, this is simply incomprehensible - we have slipped into primitive paganism with amulets, fetishes, totems, and at the same time you are sure that the Lord was crucified for this?!

Slavochka’s main emphasis in healing was on cancer, because it is known that people are not afraid of anything else as much as cancerous tumors. “Slavochka said that people would learn to recover from cancer, but he did not say that scientists or doctors would create new drugs for cancer, namely, that people would learn to recover from cancer” (p. 312). To make it easier for people to learn, Slavochka left them a considerable number of recipes (mostly herbal). Can you imagine what will happen here now, how many crazy people will start to develop their diseases, which were still treatable in the early stages, and begin to inhale burning “cocklebur seeds”?! But I’m afraid that few people will heed the warnings: if they believe in dinosaurs, then for the sake of their health they will lose the last remnants of prudence.

We could analyze the miracles and healings from this book for a long time, but I think the main thing is already clear: there is no Orthodoxy here, no Christ - people pray for Slavochka and for their health.

Sorcerers and enemies

Slavik is a unique phenomenon. According to his mother: “Slavik’s main purpose was to fight evil spirits, he himself said so several times” (p. 149).

Indeed, this is the first time in the history of Christianity when the fight against demons is considered the “main purpose.” There is not a single saint in our Church who not only said such things about himself, but even thought of them! Christ himself came to Earth to deliver people from the power of sin, the devil and death, but not for exorcism. In fact, Slavik is likened to the Archangel Michael, who fought with Satan.

Slavik was not afraid of sorcerers, he treated them “calmly”. He considered his main enemies to be the Freemasons and followers of the famous clairvoyant and telepath V. Messing (p. 171).

Everything is clear with the Freemasons - they are enemies of everyone, always and in everything. It has become good form among Orthodox loudmouths to blame the Freemasons for all the sins of the human race, starting with Cain (the first Freemason).

It's more interesting with Messing. The fact is that the talents of Slavochka and the famous telepath are extremely similar. Messing also predicted the future. So, he predicted, for example, the defeat of Hitler if he went to war against the Soviet Union. Because of this clairvoyant, the Jew was persecuted by the Nazis, and he had to move to live in the USSR, where he spent the rest of his life performing on stage, guessing the thoughts of the audience and finding hidden objects. He saw people's illnesses and could amazingly control his psyche and body. Messing could induce in himself a cataleptic state similar to death, his body would become stiff and could lie flat between two chairs, he would stop breathing, and at the appointed time he would return to normal.

Now let’s listen to Valentina Afanasievna: “Slavochka sometimes asked me not to be disturbed, since he “needed to rest and gain strength to fight the spirits of evil.” Then he lay motionless for several hours, as if frozen, I carefully watched him, checking whether he was breathing, because it was not visible from the outside.

Now I often think, maybe at this very time the struggle was taking place? After all, he sometimes got up after 2-3 hours, very tired, as if after hard, long work, and asked for food” (p. 149).

So, it's worth thinking about. Messing, by the way, spent his whole life searching for where he got these talents from, he wanted his abilities to be scientifically studied, he lived a very modest life and did not pretend to be a prophet, unlike the “unique” youths... But the authors of the book are sure of the opposite, they Messing's abilities are clearly defined as demonic and the verdict is passed:

“Communication with demons is always self-destructive in essence, no matter what forms it takes - be it treatment, predictions, manipulation of consciousness, etc. As a rule, people are seduced by the external side of all kinds of miracles, especially if it concerns their physical health, and are not at all think about their source. If a miracle means God is doing it, this is the generally accepted opinion - all kinds of sorcerers and healers speculate on this" (p. 178).

Well said! I am ready to subscribe to every word - but this sentence must be applied to the book itself and to all those who were seduced by it! But no: Slavik’s holiness and chosenness cannot be doubted:

“When we talk about spiritual gifts, the main and primary question is about their source, since it can be difficult to determine it purely externally, and an error has an extremely detrimental effect on physical and spiritual health.

Just as harmful as recognizing a lie as the truth is the opposite - recognizing the truth as a lie. Very educated people who independently study the Holy Tradition often sin with this, and sometimes this happens with young priests. Only one’s own spiritual warfare, under the guidance of an experienced spiritual mentor - an elder, is capable of, with humility, revealing the secrets of the spiritual world, but only personally, experimentally. Outside of the battle waged by the youth Vyacheslav, spiritual life is impossible” (p. 179-180).

For this, all that remains for me is to put aside my godless critical pen, for I am young and have studied university sciences, and the elder is “not an imam” - and fall at the feet of Father Gennady (it was his “spiritual” explanations that were just quoted) and Mother Lydia, who they were not offended by age, and they had an elder, and they went through the abuse “according to Slavochka” perfectly, and we give them praise for their patristic instructions, despite the numerous spelling and grammatical errors...

During Slavochka’s life, sorcerers and sectarians jumped around him, tried to win him over to their side in order to make money on his gifts, and then, embittered, tried in every possible way to harm him. Juna, Kashpirovsky, and Longo were interested in Slavochka, they sent checks for a million (!) to his loved ones to charge amulets in his holy room... And when Slavik died, evil forces took up arms against his relatives and all those who helped in the creation of books about a wonderful youth. As one of Slavochka’s followers said: “It’s impossible to list all the troubles that befell us, helping Valentina Afanasievna after and during the creation of the book about Slavochka. If we start telling everything, we’ll immediately be sent to a mental hospital” (p. 108). Yes and indeed...

The fight was waged on all fronts: they planted mines, they fired, and files about Slavochka disappeared from computers, and computers were stolen, and they gave enchanted dresses, and they did a lot of things that psychiatrists would quickly figure out...

And what happened to the common people who pray to Slavochka! And the dog’s horns grew, and the husbands “meeked” (maybe it’s the husbands who have problems with horns?), and in Slavochka’s cemetery some dark forces are always flying around those who are suffering and want “healing”, and, forgive the naturalism, feces the child was “covered with pink little dragons,” which miraculously disappeared as soon as the nurse appeared...

It is necessary to fight such demonic guards fully armed:

“A parishioner of the temple, Valentina, once complained to Sveta that something unpleasant was happening at her home, something was scaring her, knocking, and she was very scared to be alone. Sveta took the pebbles from Slavochka’s grave, which were with Valentina, and laid them out in four corners , and in the center they placed a pebble from the Diveyevo Mother of God Canal, and sprinkled Epiphany water in and around the house. Sveta and Valentina walked around the house with icons, prayed, especially asked Slavochka to protect those living in the house. After that, the knocking stopped, and the house became better , calmer. Valentina now often turns with gratitude to the youth Vyacheslav, and left the holy stones in the corners. Thank God for the help, otherwise how can one live in a house if it is anxious and scary?" (p369)

Have you written down the recipe? Do not confuse the layout of the stones - this is important. Just don’t even think about calling a priest, otherwise he will suddenly not understand this “Orthodoxy” and will hit him on the head with a censer...

But laying out pebbles is not enough to save the soul. As one elder said to Valentina Afanasievna: “in our time it is not enough to wear one cross, we need either relics or some other shrine” (p. 367) ... Well, of course - the Cross of the Lord is not enough, and the Resurrection of Christ is not enough - it is much more important to put a pebble in your cheek and shout: “Glory to you, our Slavochka, glory to you”!..

Let's stop there. You can delve into this “witchcraft” madness for a long time, but it’s better to say in time: enough is enough.

Diagnosis

Of course, on the one hand, any smart person, having read such a book, will shrug his shoulders and say: “What nonsense!” Then he will laugh, throw away this nonsense and forget about it. But! There is another problem - we have thousands of Orthodox people snapping up copies of this book, signing up in queues and simply raving about it - which means we won’t be able to simply turn away from it. We need to make an accurate diagnosis of this disease - maybe there will be people who can be sobered up by it?

I have already read and analyzed a lot of “yellow” pseudo-Orthodox waste paper - about super miracle workers, and about prophecies for every taste, and about shrines, and about much more. I can honestly say that this book is unique. Its release shows how our Orthodox readers are prepared by previous false church books to accept such madness. Because the book about Slavik is unequivocally insane, just a ready-made doctoral dissertation for a psychiatrist. Apparently the authors are so confident in our idiocy that they boldly put the bishop’s blessing on the title page. As one admirer of Slavik told me: “What are you talking about! There’s the bishop’s seal, and the signature, and photographs of the elders!” This is a lie - you have to be simply insane to bless something like this.

After reading the book, I had a question - “was there a boy”? That is, he probably lived, and was cute, and perhaps had strange, extrasensory abilities. But everything else is prophecies, miracles, etc. - isn’t it the fruit of the creativity of other people, in particular, first of all, his mother, Valentina Afanasievna and mother Lidia Emelyanova?

Throughout the book, both of these ladies are busy praising each other, assuring readers of how “significant” they are. It’s not for nothing that the boy supposedly appears to everyone every now and then and assures him that his mother “does everything right”... In fact, his mother took on the functions of a kind of “keeper of prophecies,” a medium through whom Slavik broadcasts from the “heavenly world.” All prophecies are known mainly only from her lips. And miracles are very simple: do you want me to announce tomorrow that I am a miracle worker and an elder? In a month you will have several bags of letters about healings and help in all matters, including the purchase of currency (as in one case with Slavik). Just whistle to our people - they will confirm anything. Here, recently, one hieromonk was deprived of his rank for soul-destroying pastoral activities, and some claim that in the chapel where he served, there is still light left from his grace...

In this book, the authors tried (wittingly or unwittingly) to collect almost all the heresies that are now in fashion among our people: these are everyone’s favorite “sixes”, barcodes, vaccinations, sorcerers, “king-redeemer”, etc. In Slavik’s room, for example, in the iconostasis in the very center hangs an “icon” of the “elder” Rasputin with Tsarevich Alexy in his arms. It is unclear why they brought in the “Miracle of Fatima”. For them, Slavik himself is either God, or an angel, or a mysterious “highland” alien-rescuer.

But the main thing, it seems to me, is different in this book. As in all similar books, it conveys very subtly, but at the same time effectively, a destructive idea: the official Church is the Antichrist without five minutes. Slavik allegedly says that almost “all the priests” will accept him, except one (me, or what?), but! - there is not a word about the bishops, whether they will accept it. And about bishops, this is slightly hinted at:

“And the persecutors of holiness were not always outside the Church, it also happened inside it. Christ himself was condemned to death by the Sanhedrin, the highest body of spiritual power among the Jews, and “which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute?” (p. 387)

It is not for nothing that these words were included in the Afterword - these words are invited to be remembered and pondered. The following passages constantly appear throughout the book:

“The time will come when psychics and unbelieving careerists will move into the church, and fewer ordinary people will attend it, feeling the insincerity of the church ministers.” (p. 203)

“Much more often, complacency in the sinlessness and correctness of one’s life unites the priest with the parishioners, contact is maintained, but at what level? There is no place left for eldership and the prophecies of the holy fathers in such a spiritual life, they are expelled as superfluous, considered an object of delusion, while real delusion is firmly established takes root in the souls. This occurs due to the secularization of the spiritual consciousness of both the pastor and the laity." (p.204-205)

I am sure that this is the main goal of this book: to prepare people to distrust the Church, the hierarchy and “ordinary” priests. And although it is said that all this is “coming”, but, naturally, people transfer the “future” to the present, and are already beginning to look for the “true”, “prophetic” elders who are hiding in “secret places” and preparing to serve the liturgy in times Antichrist, which many of us must live to see, according to Slavochka. This book is like a bold move, a zero-sum bet: if people believe in dinosaurs, they will believe in everything! We must admit: unfortunately, the move turned out to be successful - many already believe in dinosaurs...

And finally, I would like to say one thing: we ourselves saw the branch on which we sit. After all, I repeat, this “angel dust”, this spiritual heroin, is not distributed under the counter in doorways, but is regularly brought to our diocesan warehouse. Priests and laity take these books, trusting the “officiality” of the purchase, and then it’s too late... At least the priests need to control this issue: check every book that ends up in the parish store or library. Maybe then the spiritual drug trade will return to its illegal, criminal status.

P.S. I confiscated a book about Slavochka from one of his admirers, for which they almost clawed my eyes out and called me “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” So, according to Father Gennady Emelyanov, this is a “direct sign” of the godliness of this critical article?..

About the false veneration of the youth Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov (Chebarkulsky)- Statement of the Missionary Department of the Chelyabinsk Diocese, Statement of the Diocesan Expert Commission, Statement of Metropolitan Job of Chelyabinsk and Chrysostom - Chelyabinsk Diocese

Alexy Pluzhnikov, priest

The most authoritative, respected and revered elder in Russia, Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov), blessed its publication, saying: “I bless you, print the book as quickly as possible...”. Everyone who loves the Holy Trinity, confesses the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God - is not indifferent to the holy Truth - the Truth about the Youth Vyacheslav. Several books have been published. In what spirit were they written, who are their authors? On this issue, I decided to personally contact the mother of the Youth Vyacheslav, Valentina Afanasyevna Krasheninnikova.
Question: The Orthodox audience of millions has many questions about your involvement in all the published books about your son, the Youth Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov.
Please explain how the very first book appeared and who is its author?
Answer from Valentina Afanasyevna: In 2001, at the insistence of the priest, when I became quite seriously ill, he said: “What if suddenly something happens to you? Where will I look and how will I collect materials about your son?” I told him that people themselves bring materials about my son. I didn’t collect them on purpose, some are lost, some remain. And at present there is enough evidence of the Youth’s help in the chest of drawers.
One church-going man, whom Otrok helped a lot, Alexander Lyamkin, collected all this material. I designed it in the form of a book to make it easier to read, and called this book “Oh, Mama, Mama...”
And at the insistence of the priest, he took her to the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra. Naumu. Upon arrival at T.S.L. I stood with him for a very long time on an important issue. He worked as a laborer in the Lavra. For several weeks, Alexander was constantly at Fr. Nahuma. He never invited him. One monk observed this situation and asked Alexander: “Why are you standing by him for so long? “To which Alexander replied: “They say Fr. Nahum the seer! If he is a seer, then why doesn’t he understand what important issue I’m standing here on?!” The monk asked: “Tell me, on what issue are you standing with him for so long?!”
Alexander replied that he was blessed to bring a book about a boy and was told not to show it to anyone except Fr. Nahuma. The interested monk asked to show him this book, and when he saw it, he began to beg Alexander to let him read it. This was the only copy of the collected material, and Alexander made the monk promise that in two hours he would return it.
Two days later, when, according to Alexander, he was ready to beat this monk, he suddenly saw him walking with such a joyful smile and saying: “Go, Fr. Kirill (Pavlov) is calling! “By the will of God, the collected material came to the confessor of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra - Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov). Having read the booklet brought by Fr. Kirill blesses to begin collecting material for the canonization of locally revered saints - the Youth Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov.

r.B. Alexandra O. Kirill awarded him a cassock and sent him to serve as an altar boy at the Spaso-Vifansky Metochion T.S.L. Soon, the confessor of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov), became seriously ill.
And the material fell into the hands of Gennady Pavlovich Bystrov.
Then everything started spinning according to their scenario. The latter independently released, without my knowledge or permission, completely unprocessed material with unacceptable distortions, in the form of that very small book called “Oh, Mama, Mama...” For example, they wrote: “The youth said that when they change the Creed, it’s all the same to the church you need to go for confession and communion” - and they put an end to it. In fact, the Youth said that when the Creed is changed, you still need to go to church for confession and communion, because not all priests will betray God. And you need to go to those churches where the priest serves in the old way.
Do you feel the difference?
Then, G.P. Bystrov wrote an article for the newspaper “Rus Sovereign”, where he compared the Youth with the devil. Having written that the Youth remembers himself before birth, he is many, many years old, he is almost ancient - this is what he says about himself, the enemy of the human race is the devil.
And the Youth began to help people. Send letters with requests, with evidence of healings, to their address indicated in this booklet... And these human voices sank into obscurity. I don’t know where all this information goes.
But the machine began to produce more and more new editions of “Oh Mama, Mama...” I tried to prevent all this, but G.P. Bystrov told me: “Who are you?” And it seems that the production of these books and trade continues to this day. Here, for example, is a request from the Internet dated April 5, 2012 at 10:31 “Good day everyone! I have a question, how can I purchase both films “Russian Angel” and the book “Oh Mama, Mama...”?
This is how the first book “Oh Mama, Mama...” appeared.

Question: And the second book, “God speaks to His chosen ones,” is the author Lidiya Nikolaevna Emelyanova?
Answer from Valentina Afanasyevna: On December 16, 2005, a woman arrived from St. Petersburg - Lidiya Nikolaevna Emelyanova. She introduced herself as mother, the wife of priest Gennady Emelyanov; her mother is a nun, her grandfather is buried on Mount Athos; is the director of the Blagoveshchenie publishing house, St. Petersburg. She graduated from the academy in St.P.B., worked for Metropolitan Fr. John (Snychev) while he was alive. He is cared for by the Elder Schema-Hegumen Alexy of Penza (Mikhail Shumilin), who, at present, has already departed to the Lord. But before her death, he blessed her to write about the Youth, and there are witnesses to this - later, two nuns, Maria and Anastasia, came and confirmed that this was true.
The Russian proverb says: “When you get burned with milk, blow on water,” I couldn’t believe it 100%, of course, but the woman looked worthy, smart, well-educated, tastefully dressed, very well-groomed, and churchgoer.
Both my neighbors and acquaintances whom Slavochka cured, also people with higher education and more than one, far from stupid people, believed her. And they asked me to trust this man - with one goal - to warn people about the impending dangers about which the Youth Vyacheslav, our son, prophesied. This conviction had an effect on me. I agreed. I agreed - for the sake of the people. We went to a law office in the city of Chebarkul and I signed a power of attorney for her, in which, of course, not a single word about copyright was written. This power of attorney was issued on March 21, 2006 - for a period of three years, that is, on March 21, 2009, this document expired.
I gave Emelyanova L.N. permission to manage and dispose of the collection of documents, photographs, and eyewitness testimony. And as the director of Annunciation, she was allowed to have the book published by their publishing house.
Of course, Lidiya Nikolaevna Emelyanova is not an author at all. Youth Vyacheslav's parents are alive. And all the basic information about the Youth Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov is the testimony of his parents, through whom, by the will of God, they were collected, preserved and conveyed to people - all his prophecies without changes, in their true form.
For the survey and collection of material, Emelyanova L.N. came twice or three times. I invited people who knew the Youth and myself gave all the detailed information about my son. Even, at her invitation, she visited St. Petersburg and lived in their house for almost a month. Clarifying all the details of eyewitness accounts.
I thought that Lidiya Nikolaevna Emelyanova, as a Mother, as the author and direct witness of all events, understood me correctly.
When the book “God speaks to His chosen ones” came out, it surprised me. It’s surprising that the author of the book is L.N. Emelyanova herself. She took out all the copyrights on herself, and besides, she doesn’t allow anyone to republish it, including me.
On April 29, 2007, they brought the book “God speaks to His chosen ones,” the “author” “blessed” me with 498 pieces and that’s it.
With this money, the Otrok's canopy was built. That's all. There were no more books. It was written on the book that the circulation was 2000 copies, but on one of the packs the outer label remained untorn, where it was indicated that the circulation was 10 thousand copies.
I realized that this was another “Oh, mother, mother...” I did not bless either G.P. Bystrov or L.N. Emelyanova. - trade my son. And if they tolerate any attacks, they tolerate it purely because of their own benefit. And the Youth said: “THE WHOLE WORLD WILL DESTROY - BENEFIT!”
At this point, communication with L.N. Emelyanova was completely stopped. That did not stop L.N. Emelyanova from releasing more and more books (on her own), audio, video materials - without even informing her parents, the Youth’s mother - not to mention the blessing and permission for their creation, release and trade.
So, what kind of enrichment of the Youth’s mother and his parents are they talking about in all the media?
And just like G.P. Bystrov, people began to turn and write testimonies about the help of the Youth Vyacheslav and all their requests to this “author”.
And this lawlessness has been going on for almost a decade, before the eyes of the people, today, of the whole world.
I had a telephone conversation with Emelyanova L.N., a year after the release of the book “God speaks to His chosen ones,” where I said: “Stop selling my son!” To which she replied: “Yes, please!” I don’t have any more books anyway.” This conversation took place at the end of 2007.
I realized that further conversations with this person were pointless and I relied on the will of God and the will of the Youth, thinking: “Maybe this is how it should be?” I don’t know - God knows!”
In addition to this, she had other books, for example: “The Youth
Vyacheslav."

http://lavka-palomnika.ru/product/bog-govorit-izbrannikam-svoim/
This is all I have already observed from the side. People brought books and asked them to sign them on the Youth’s grave... I explained to people that I had nothing to do with all this trading, the publication and release of these books and other video and audio materials. I have not given my permission to do this to anyone, and I will not sign anything. Then, by mail, in a single copy, an unknown book by the “author” L.N. Emelyanova came to me. "Tell the whole world about it." In which an akathist with a distorted name of the Youth is placed. Like the entire book, the spirit of the author is brought into the akathist and it is completely composed from the mind.
And Bishop Diomede didn’t talk to me about this either. Where this blessing came from in the book: “Tell the whole world about it” - I don’t know. When Bishop Diomede was in power, he blessed me - Valentina Afanasyevna Krasheninnikova, for any of my undertakings.
And the last straw that overflowed the cup of my patience was the distribution, release and sale of L.N. Emelyanova. - akathist with a distorted name!
Question: What is this, name fighting?
Answer from Valentina Afanasyevna: I will never believe anyone that the editor, priest Gennady Emelyanov, and the person responsible for the publication, Lydia Emelyanova, do not understand what they are doing when they call the Youth Vyacheslav - the Youth Vecheslav.
The name Vecheslav is not in the calendar.
The name Vyacheslav is God's Eternal Glory, as one monk told me.
VYACHESLAV is a male two-basic Russian personal name, of Old Russian origin; formed from the stems of the ancient Russian words VYASCHE (vyache) - “more, better” + glory.
Glory is glorification…. The glory of the Lord is a theological concept. “Bigger, better” + fame. Compounding the stems with the meaning “more glorious.”
And in the Orthodox calendar of our time it is translated and indicated - Vyacheslav - The most glorious, glorified, known for loud glory, famous, famous, revered, exalted, praised everywhere. Generally good, excellent, good quality. Glorifier, Glorifier, glorifying whom….
Vladimir Ivanovich Dal: Glorify Christ.
Glory: glorification is the action of the verb. Only glory in the world. Glory to God in the highest, Glory to God, pour out praise and thanksgiving. The name Vyacheslav in Russia until the 19th century was found only in monastic circles. Short form - Slava. In the Christian name book, the name Vyacheslav correlates with Saint Vyacheslav of Bohemia (10th century). Vyacheslav of Czech - prince, passion-bearer - March 17, October 11, days of remembrance. And the Youth Vyacheslav went to the Lord - on the day of memory of his saint - Vyacheslav of the Czech Republic, March 17.
According to V.I. Dahl’s dictionary: Veche or veche, cf. old To broadcast a covenant, a national assembly, a meeting, a secular gathering. At one meeting, and not just speeches. Big veche..., small or veche, private gathering and conference, often unauthorized, seditious.
So who do the Christians who bought this akathist, which is sold everywhere, pray to?! The editor is priest Gennady Emelyanov, published by the Annunciation Publishing House. In which the “spirit of the author” is introduced and it is completely composed “from the mind.”
And how many years will this deception, dirt, cunning worm its way around the name of the Youth Vyacheslav secretly until it becomes obvious before the eyes of the whole world? And this is while the Youth’s parents are alive - they are trying to distort the Truth and prophecies. And they say that the Youth’s mother makes money from this.
Haven’t you read, the Lord said: “So, do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known” - Ev. from Matt. 10.26.
What, the name has already been stolen? Take, for example, the patronymic Pavlovich... and replace just one third letter “v” with “d” and what kind of middle name will you get?
--?!
Not only do they disgrace me, by the will of God, the mother of the Youth Vyacheslav - to the whole world, that I am for the sake of money, and not for the sake of
It’s true that I’m doing something “not pleasing to God.” How many souls are seduced by this “money”, deceived that the Youth’s mother is making money from the death of her son.
Those who buried their children, forgive the disturbed memory, know that while still physically alive, the mother dies along with her child. So how much pain can you inflict on a deceased person?
This is what priest Gennady Emelyanov and Lidiya Emelyanova, who was responsible for the release, tried to do.
Are these highly educated Orthodox Christians so ignorant that they don't understand what they are doing?
And how unpleasant it was for me, as a mother, to see these akathists, which two very elderly women brought in their backpack on the day of memory of the Youth Vyacheslav to His grave - and began to distribute alms from Lydia Emelyanova. This was the last straw of my patience.
“God’s help comes only when you pronounce the name of the saint correctly, otherwise it can be regarded as name-wrestling.” - Archbishop Nikon.
With the blessing of Valentina Afanasyevna, a request to people who long for the salvation of their souls with fear and trembling.
Whoever has this akathist, on the cover of the akathist, correct Vecheslav to Vyacheslav, remove the sheet on which the Youth and His grave are depicted, so that there is no sin on you - burn the rest.
In a book completely unknown to Valentina Afanasyevna Krasheninnikova, author Emelyanova L.N. “Tell the whole world about this” the same akathist was printed with a distorted name.

Prophecies of Elder Alexy (Shumilin): myth and reality.
[article from a series on the history of prophecies].

Letter:
“Are you familiar with the prophecy of Elder Alexy of Penza?:
“Russia will have a new life. And again the righteous will rise from our Land, and again, once again, the Mother of God will show us what to do with the Russian Land. Russia will rise again, but through great difficulties, tears and poverty. If we are poor, but strong in spirit, we will be saved. As a result of the global war, the whole world will pass to the Russians. In the Third World War, Russia will remain aloof from the conflict without striking back. The main battle will take place between the United States, Europe and China, which will mutually bleed each other, eliminating governance, defense, power potential and ruining the economy. After the war, only Russia will have integrity and power potential for global leadership. Meeting the universal request of the peoples, she will announce world patronage, proclaiming the formation of the Holy Russian Empire. At the same time, as a global Power, he will leave behind autocracy: on weapons, on the state-information apparatus, on the military-scientific-industrial complex, and, most importantly, on the Church of Christ.”

Answer:
This is the first time I’ve heard about Elder Alexy (Shumilin); after some research on the Internet, I suggest readers read the article “Dust of the Elder” by Abbot Nektary (Morozov) for 2008:
“The book “According to your faith be it done to you...” received a review thanks to its famous authors. It was published by the St. Petersburg publishing house “Annunciation” in 2007, and it was compiled by priest Gennady Emelyanov and his mother Lydia, now familiar to all Orthodox Russia as the creators and distributors of the cult of the false saint “youth Vyacheslav of Chebarkul.”
The new book is dedicated to the spiritual father of the Emelyanov couple - the Penza “elder” schema-abbot Alexy (Shumilin), who died in 2005.
By the way, according to Lydia Emelyanova, it was with his blessing that she wrote a book about the boy Slavik:
“When I came to Schema-Hegumen Alexy in Penza and told the priest that I had read a book about the amazing youth Vyacheslav and immediately asked:
“Is this a boy from God, father?”
- A child from God. – the elder said this immediately, affirmatively and somehow solemnly.
– Father, this book is so important in content, but it is written like a summary. I would like to meet the boy's mother...
- I bless you...
– To visit where he lived, studied, meet people, in general, you need to write a new book...
- I bless..., I bless..., I bless!!!
Father blessed all my proposals warmly and somehow expectedly, there was a feeling that the Elder was thinking about the boy, just like I was all these days, and, as a result, joyful - I bless [...]" (L. Emelyanova, "God says to his chosen ones...", St. Petersburg, PBC "Annunciation", p. 5, 2007).
As everyone now knows after the official statement of Metropolitan Job of Chelyabinsk and Chrysostom, the youth was “obviously not from God” (or rather, the story about the youth), and Mother Lydia was a distributor of false cults. Therefore, the new creation of the Emelyanovs requires close attention.
After the publication of my article about the cult of the “youth Vyacheslav” (“Angel Dust”), I had to hear several critical comments addressed to me: they say that the work was written without love and pity for the poor boy, I speak too “harsh words” about Slavik. I had to explain that my article was dedicated to the image of “The Youth Vyacheslav” that was imposed on us by the authors of the book about him. These are different things: I wrote not about the boy, but about the superstitious schism teachers, who really received harsh words, because their “creativity” brought enormous spiritual harm.
So now, in order to prevent reproaches of disrespect for the “holy elder” (whom I have never seen or heard), I will immediately make a reservation that I am writing a review not about the elder, but about the creativity and spiritual position of the Emelyanov couple.
The book “According to your faith be it unto you...” is compiled according to the same scheme as “God says to his chosen ones...”.
The “Preface,” written by a certain E. Popova, is intended to convince readers of the significance of this work and the personality of the elder himself:
“It is important to trace how gradually the “outer” person, under the influence of the elder’s prayer, acquires spiritual understanding, which he did not previously know in himself. It is important to understand that spiritual understanding does not come from theological sciences, not from the “planned” study of patristic Traditions, not from “new products” of spiritual literature and not from Orthodox printed organs, where church-wide problems are discussed [...]” (p. 15- 16).
This is the main leitmotif of the entire book: in the first place are the Elder and books about him, and all the other “printed organs” are something secondary and unimportant. And the creation of a book about the Elder is “an extremely difficult matter” and “a high verbal culture is needed, which has always distinguished any work of ancient Russian spiritual literature, whose traditions we are obliged to sacredly preserve, observe and continue to this day [...]” (pp. 4-5 ).
That this book of the Emelyanovs is full of “high verbal culture” I was convinced by studying it: like the “work” about Slavik, it is replete with spelling and grammatical errors, the writing of the prefix “without-” everywhere (apparently to wipe the demons’ noses) and constant confusion in “andHealings” and “andHealings”. The deeply vulgar style of all the authors is also, probably, a continuation of the “Old Russian spiritual traditions”...
The first part of the book is the “life” of Elder Alexy, written by the famous “hagiographer”, a specialist in finding “saints”, Mother Lydia Emelyanova.
The second, largest part is the story of a certain Nadezhda about her spiritual path under the guidance of an elder. As in the book about the youth, her stories are interspersed with “spiritual comments” by Father Gennady Emelyanov.
The third part of the book contains an akathist and prayer to the “great martyr and healer” Elder Alexy of Penza, so that no one doubts his holiness and the ability of the authors to find and glorify “God’s chosen ones,” the elders and holy youths. As in the case of the boy Slavik, the elder was awarded the rank of “great martyr,” although no one shot him or executed him. And in the clumsy and extremely illiterate, with pitiful attempts at rhyming, the akathist hints at all future critics: “Rejoice, schema-abbot, shame on the bookish wise men [...]” (p. 479).
So now try to “be smart” - they will immediately “put you to shame”...
I will not retell the “life”, I will highlight only some features. The main bewilderment is the very “fact” of the ordination of the future elder to the priesthood. Contrary to all conceivable and inconceivable church canons, a man was ordained, a disabled person from childhood, unable to use his arms or legs, chained to a chair, unable to hold his head up, with serious speech impediments. But, as Mother Lydia assures, this was the “Providence of God,” and it is now difficult to verify the truth of “Providence.”
Like any elder, Hieromonk Mikhail, and later schema-abbot Alexy, was engaged in “incessant prayer, guidance of spiritual children, receiving confessions, and building a monastery in the village of Pobeda.” In between, he “chastised the possessed, healed, received his sight, and prophesied.” Moreover, his ability for insight was close to absolute, like that of the youth Slavik: he knew everything about man, and about his sins, about the future and the past, he understood all the little things of life, right down to knowledge of the radio business, although he had never studied anything anywhere.
The elder’s peculiarity was a mysterious “incomprehensibility”:
“When Father was asked questions, he answered with parables, very laconic phrases, the meaning of which had to be “unraveled.” “Father showed what was yet to happen, appealed to the deep truth, revealed to him, but not to us. Therefore, understanding did not come immediately, and not always. It was also difficult for those who heard the elder for the first time. To their joy, Mother Zinovia, who spent many years next to the elder, helped people understand his words (...)
Full communication with Father was possible only if one was tuned in to a single spiritual wave (...)” (pp. 60-61).
This is a banal scheme for creating sects - we had a “savior”, a “chosen one”, whom only we, his “apostles” could understand, because we are on the “same spiritual wavelength”. Therefore, we will explain it to you, explain it, and direct you to the true path. We also have “holy mothers” who will interpret the “apostles.” This is how all cults are created, a striking example is the sect of Porfiry Ivanov, a madman, but around whom candidates of sciences gathered and usurped the right to understand and interpret his delirium. And that many, including priests, perceive the spiritual children of Elder Alexy as a sect is confirmed by priest Gennady himself:
“Much later I visited the Church of the Martyr Tatiana in Nizhny Novgorod. We had a meal with the father’s children, we sat and talked peacefully, remembering the elder. Everyone's heart is warm.
The priest looks in, asks something and immediately leaves. I intercept his prickly gaze.
I remember how the elder jokingly asked Deacon Andrei: “How are your heels doing?”
Maria Stepanovna, as if sensing my mood, explains: “He considers us all sectarians.”
It's a pity. I also recall other words of the elder: “Whoever does not seek elder care will destroy himself and his parish.”
But this is today’s reality (...)” (pp. 416-417).
As Archpriest John Meyendorff said: the main feature of sectarians is the confidence that only they will be saved, and the rest will all perish. And yet, they get great pleasure from this thought.
Isn't that what Fr. is talking about? Gennady?
All their work together with Mother Lydia persistently preaches this idea: only the children of our Elder and the children who worship the youth Vyacheslav will be saved. At the same time, the authors unobtrusively remind us to whom we should be grateful for the “discovery” of the elder:
“Father Alexy, shortly before his death, said to one woman:
“When you arrive in Moscow, call Father Gennady and Mother Lydia, who wrote the book (“The Road to the Elder”) and sent you here, that I love them very much. Be sure to pass it on. Definitely" (...)" (p. 407).
According to Mother Lydia, the elder prophesied a lot, but there are few prophecies in the book and they are banal, in no way comparable to the “revelations” about dinosaurs of the “youth” Slavik. Thus, the elder urged not to rely “on worldly bosses, pension funds,” promised a quick war from the north “for the Faith,” advised to stock up on wheat, “sit” on the land in order to survive with one’s own vegetable garden, and wait for hunger and cannibalism. Indeed, the prophecies are modest, but I think we will still hear the continuation of the prophecies, because there are “apostles” who keep them until time, and will also be rewarded with “visions” and “revelations.”
Laconic and modest (according to hagiographers), the elder sometimes said not entirely modest things about himself:
“And the elder in spirit heard our whole conversation how we boasted to each other about our prayerful exploits. And he suddenly says quietly, sadly and very seriously:
“Grains of sand... You are grains of sand before God, and I am a mountain. Your prayer without mine is nothing..." (p. 368).
“Father said: “Whoever helps me, four generations will be saved” (...)” (p. 382).
“You will not have a spiritual father after me. They will be in beautiful clothes, in gilded vestments, but you will never have anything like this again. Come to my grave, ask, and I will help you (...)” (p. 415).
After the death of the elder in 2005, the main occupation of his children became the collection of materials, memories of him, for his further glorification (and they clearly do not hope for official canonization, they are more satisfied with “popular” veneration).
The basis of the book is the “memoirs” of Nadezhda’s spiritual daughter, who was cared for by the elder for several years and lived nearby. Nadezhda, a simple village woman, a veterinarian. Over the course of 400 pages, Nadezhda reveals to the reader all her sins, including prodigal ones, describes the sorrows sent for these sins, and Father’s help on the path of correction and awareness of her sinfulness. At the same time, talking about her fallenness, Nadezhda does not forget on the next page to turn from a sinner into a “preacher and denouncer” of the general depravity of the human race. The elder himself promised her that she would “prophesy”, “tell people about God.”
And she has no doubts about her role as a “prophetess”:
“At this very time, the decision to tell about my spiritual father became stronger in me. I picked up a pencil and placed the sheet of paper in front of me. At first I was scared: how will I write it? And then it was as if someone invisible was dictating, and I barely had time to write it down, and the words kept coming and going.
Then I’ll re-read the sheets and think: did I write all this? As if it’s not me, but who then?
Got it: I was just taking notes. The elder dictated to me in spirit, and I only fulfilled the will of God (...)” (p. 431).
Here is the new “John the Theologian” in a skirt from the village of Pobeda...
I don’t know how aunties like her read all these “outpourings” (probably with delight), but, to be honest, such vulgar “spirituality” made me nauseous. Moreover, if you look at Nadezhda’s life as a whole, it consisted mainly of diseases caused by ancient sins (for example, her female organs fell ill as punishment for a prank committed... at the age of six!) and healings from them through the prayers of the elder; from atrocities on the part of neighbors, envious people, and especially from witchcraft and corruption, salvation from which becomes possible only under the intercession of an elder. I counted 10 cases of witchcraft and damage directed personally at Nadezhda, her house and livestock. In fact, the narrator’s faith is a banal mixture of women’s superstitions, paganism and Orthodox terminology.
But the strangest thing in the second part is the comments about. Gennady Emelyanov. Just like in the book about Slavik, on any everyday trifle (even about the barking of a dog) he pours out a portion of “philanthropic” speeches, the meaning of which he ultimately boils down to one thing: without the Elder there is no salvation:
“Unlike us, the elder, as a co-hidden man of God, lives in the spirit of the Holy Trinity and has all the fullness of knowledge in all areas on which the attention of his will is concentrated (...)” (p. 275).
“The elder for us is the eye of God on earth: he sees everything, strives to help everyone (...)” (p. 390).
Absolutization of the role of the elder is the main idea of ​​this book.
As one priest joked: “Orthodoxy is a minefield, you can’t get through it without an elder sapper.”
It seems that this book is in many ways even more dangerous than the cult of the “youth Vyacheslav,” for “Slavik” is an outright heresy, nonsense, from which any sane person will turn away. But having read such a book about the Elder, in which there is no blatant madness about dinosaurs and UFOs, but only a muddy stream of “spirituality,” an Orthodox person will make only one conclusion: it’s time to get ready for the journey in search of the Elder, for there is no salvation for us in ordinary parish life, no there is no point in reading the Holy Fathers or the Gospel, because spiritual life is still impossible outside of old age care, when you need to take a blessing for every inhalation and exhalation.
The elder becomes the “dad”, the “vicar of God” on earth, in whose hands is our salvation!!!
As church historian A. Kartashev once said regarding his candidate’s work in theology:
“...where is Christ, where are the apostles, where is the Church? Everything was eclipsed by the huge shadow of the Elder...” (Quoted from the protopr. A. Schmeman. Diaries. M., “Russian Way”, p. 539, 2005).
And here is information from the official portal of the Saratov Diocese regarding the first edition of the book “According to your faith, may it be done to you...” (09/16/2006):
“If we summarize the impressions of the book we read, we can say this: it emanates some kind of terrible spiritual malaise; moreover, it is all imbued with not only a charming, but also a sectarian spirit in the full sense of the word.
Naturally, since the book bears the blessing of the ruling Bishop of the Penza diocese, Archbishop Philaret of Penza and Kuznetsk, employees of the information and publishing department of the Saratov diocesan administration turned to the diocesan administration in Penza for clarification. There the following answer was received: Vladyka Philaret did not give his blessing for the publication of this book. And moreover, there are no documents for such a cleric as Schema-Abbot Alexy (Shumilin) ​​in the Penza diocese.
Meanwhile, the book we are talking about is only one of five that have already been published in this “series”. And these publications are actively distributed not only in the Penza, but, in particular, in the Saratov diocese. Serious “propaganda” (there is no other way to say it) work is being carried out, funds are being collected for a “chapel on the elder’s grave”, for a “monastery” and for other, perhaps less specific goals. And people who had encountered the pressure of admirers of “Elder Alexy” and were embarrassed and discouraged by this pressure had already called and contacted the diocesan administration. And someone has already managed to donate money and is now mourning the fact that they could have spent it more usefully, however, there is no turning back.
Who was “Father Alexy”?
Hard to say. The only feeling that arises towards him after reading his biography is acute pity. One priest, looking through the photographs published in the book, saw a photograph in which the “elder” was lying, literally strapped with seat belts to the back seat of a Gazelle. And all he could say was: “Why did they torture him so much, poor thing! (...)"
It really is cruel. But here we can’t do anything. Another is no less cruel: for people seeking spiritual food to place a “stone” in the form of such a biography, “miracles” and an akathist into an outstretched hand. That is why we warn all potential readers of this book: “According to your faith it will be done for you.” Therefore, do not believe lies, believe only the truth” (Hegumen Nektary (Morozov)).

old man's shadow
(review of the book “According to your faith may it be done to you...")

The book “According to your faith be it unto you...” received a review thanks to its famous authors. It was published by the St. Petersburg publishing house “Annunciation” in 2007, and was compiled by priest Gennady Emelyanov and his mother Lydia, now familiar to all Orthodox Russia as the creators and distributors of the cult of the false saint “youth Vyacheslav of Chebarkul” (see my article “Angel Dust”) .

The new book is dedicated to the spiritual father of the Emelyanov couple - the Penza elder schema-abbot Alexy (Shumilin), who died in 2005. By the way, according to Lydia Emelyanova, it was with his blessing that she wrote a book about the boy Slavik:

“When I came to Schema-Hegumen Alexy in Penza and told the priest that I had read a book about the amazing youth Vyacheslav and immediately asked:

Is this a boy from God, father?
- A child from God.

The elder said this immediately, affirmatively and somehow solemnly.

Father, this book is so important in content, but it is written like a summary. I would like to meet the boy's mother...
- I bless you...
- To visit where he lived, studied, meet people, in general, you need to write a new book...
- I bless..., I bless..., I bless.

Father blessed all my proposals warmly and somehow expectedly, there was a feeling that the Elder was thinking about the boy, just like I had been all these days, and, as a result, joyful - I bless.”

(L. Emelyanova. “God says to His chosen ones...” St. Petersburg, PBC “Annunciation”, 2007, p. 5.)

As everyone now knows after the official statement of Metropolitan Job of Chelyabinsk and Chrysostom, the boy was clearly not from God (or rather, the story about the boy), and Mother Lydia was a distributor of a false cult. Therefore, the new creation of the Emelyanovs requires close attention.

After the publication of my article about the cult of the “youth Vyacheslav” (“Angel Dust”), I had to hear several critical comments addressed to me: they say that the work was written without love and pity for the poor boy, I speak too harsh words about Slavik. I had to explain that my article was dedicated to the image of “The Youth Vyacheslav” that was imposed on us by the authors of the book about him. These are different things - I wrote not about the boy, but about the superstitious schism teachers, who really deserved harsh words, because their “creativity” brought enormous spiritual harm.

So now, in order to prevent reproaches of disrespect for the “holy elder” (whom I have never seen or heard), I will immediately make a reservation that I am writing a review not about the elder, but about the creativity and spiritual position of the Emelyanov couple.

And here is information from the official portal of the Saratov Diocese regarding the first edition of the book “According to your faith may it be done to you...” (the article was also published on Russian Line on September 16, 2006):

• “If we summarize the impressions of the book we read, we can say this: it emanates some kind of terrible spiritual malaise; moreover, it is all imbued with not only a charming, but also a sectarian spirit in the full sense of the word.

That is why we warn all potential readers of this book: “According to your faith it will be done for you.” Therefore, do not believe lies, believe only the truth.” (Hegumen Nektary (Morozov))

This is far from the only critical study regarding books about Elder Alexis that can be found on the Internet. But, unfortunately, there are no less enthusiastic, touching reviews (mostly from women). A year and a half ago, Abbot Nektariy published an article, but nothing has changed: new publications are being published, the number of the elder’s followers is increasing. For several years now, the Emelyanov couple have been corrupting fragile Orthodox souls, creating sectarian groups, promoting false cults, false spirituality, together with the “Enlightenment” center “Annunciation” they are sowing confusion in the dioceses, juggling false archpastoral blessings - and, as if nothing had happened, priest Gennady continues serve, perform on the radio...

I talked with a man who delivers books from the Annunciation publishing house to dioceses, and I asked: why is there a “blessing” on the book of the Penza bishop, and not the St. Petersburg bishop? He became embarrassed: “It’s not easy to get to him...”. But I think the real reason is different: if this book had landed on the table of the diocesan bishop, then Fr. Gennady Emelyanov would have serious problems. In the meantime, he lives and serves without problems, creating them for thousands of other people. Therefore, I would very much like the creativity and activities of this priest and his mother to be given an official assessment in the St. Petersburg Metropolis.

There is a contagious Orthodox disease - craving for dope. Moreover, the stupider the nonsense, the stronger the craving. This is a kind of spiritual addiction - dissatisfaction with the ordinary Christian life and, as a result, a search for strong, exciting sensations ("grace-filled"). To get the “Orthodox high” you need spiritual drugs: “elders”, “prophecies about the end of the world”, “Antichrist”, “freemasons”, “sorcerers”, “INN”, “three sixes”, “healings” and the like. “Drug lords” with an Orthodox connotation are pseudo-elders, false blessed ones, various extremist loudmouths and... authors of dubious, to put it mildly, little books. And this “angel dust” is being spread among Orthodox Christians quite legally – through the church book network. There are now dozens of publications being published that should be labeled: “Caution! Psychotropic drug! Consult a psychiatrist!” But, unfortunately, now in the Church there is no censorship that would stop this drug flow of pseudo-spirituality. Therefore, we have to react and warn people about the spiritual danger of certain books only after they are widely distributed among the church people.

Today we are going to talk about one of the last “drugs” in an Orthodox package. This drug is called “Slavik”.

On the edge of a cliff, beyond which there is eternity,
You stand alone in the grip of strange dreams
And, having said goodbye to the world, you want to become carefree,
Play with the fire of alien thunderstorms.
Finally you are happy like no one else in the world,
Angel dust carries you upward.
Only she can control both delight and the wind,
Your laughter sounds in the “liquid skies”.
Angel dust -
This is a dream and reality!
A madman, a fugitive - there is no way,
You're seeing the wrong light.
Your angel lit a mirage of fire
He wants to kill you...
On the edge of a cliff, an unearthly song,
Music of the gods and voices of the goddesses.
You soar above the world, but the merchant of paradise
He will take the soul out of you for heroin.
You got tired of being a bird and fell like a stone,
Fell from a height, escaping fate.
On the edge of the cliff they fly into the flames again
Hundreds of suicide moths (Margarita Pushkina. "Angel Dust")

About the book

This book, which will be discussed, is called: “God says to His chosen ones...”. The author-compiler is Lydia Emelyanova, the wife of priest Gennady Emelyanov, who serves in the Church of St. Job the Long-Suffering, which is at the Volkov cemetery in St. Petersburg. It was this priest (if you believe the author) who compiled the “spiritual explanations” for the texts of the book. These explanations “are very important for readers for correct understanding and spiritual understanding” (p. 8). Remember these words - we will have to return to them more than once.

The book was written from the words of people who were familiar with the boy Slavik (the main character of this book), who received “healings” from him (that’s right - according to the new Orthodox spelling, the letter “s” is not used in prefixes for some reason. I am familiar with ultra-pious discussions about that you cannot write the prefix “demon-”, so as not to please the demons, you must write “without-” everywhere. What the “healing” was guilty of is not clear, and, probably, it is not clear to the authors themselves, because it sometimes appears in the texts " is-". Well, okay, this, as they say now, is all “internal scientific” disputes.). One of the main characters in the book is Slavochka’s mother, Valentina Afanasievna Krasheninnikova, who was the first to compile a brochure about her son: “Oh, mother-mama...”. Lydia Emelyanova met Valentina Afanasievna and became friends with her, based on this friendship a new book was created.

The events of the book mainly take place in the city of Chebarkul-4, Chelyabinsk region.

The book was published in 2007 at the Educational and Charitable Center "Annunciation" at the expense of a certain r. Alevtina of God "with the blessing of Archbishop Nikon of Ufa and Sterlitamak"

MS Note. The blessing of Archbishop Nikon for the publication of this book was indeed received, but neither the bishop himself nor anyone from the diocese read this book. Lydia Emelyanova persuaded the bishop for about two hours and persuaded... Unfortunately, the official revocation of this blessing has not yet happened.

By the way, a note: some of the publishing house’s employees are also co-authors of the book, as they have experienced the miracles that come from Slavochka. But to make it even more convincing of the significance of everything that is written in the book, it is stated that the book was allegedly blessed by the spiritual father of the Emelyanov couple - “elder schema-abbot Alexy of Penza (Mikhail Shumilin)”, the Trinity-Sergius elders - Kirill and Naum; Priest Peter, who “is familiar with many famous people of the fatherland, often talks with His Holiness Patriarch Alexy” (p. 378) ... In general, it is made clear that any criticism is initially swept aside.

What is the brief essence of the book? Here's what we learn from the Preface:

“God’s mercy towards us is the appearance of a youth, whose whole life is serving God and people, and his prophecies are a clear translation for today of the Revelation of the holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian. Everything is possible with God, that’s why he was sent to us, according to the foretold providence of God , pure youth Vyacheslav" (p. 4).

For those who are not familiar with the intricacies of logic, let me explain: since “everything is possible” with God, then... you can continue to write whatever you want. And what if the author of the book knows some mysterious “predicted providence of God”!

“The youth Vyacheslav really wanted to help all people, to give them the opportunity to be healed from spiritual, mental and physical illnesses, and through healing to come to faith and God. At any moment of your life - difficult and joyful, in illness or sadness - you can turn to him : ask for help, pray, go to his grave for consolation, deliverance from illnesses, thanksgiving and admonition" (p. 7).

So, “the only one in the history of Orthodoxy”... Previously, unreasonable me, it seemed that in the history of Orthodoxy there is only one “only one” - Christ Himself... But let’s not distract ourselves from the story for now, it promises to be unique. (When quoting, I leave the text exactly as it was printed. Shame on the book’s proofreaders.)

"Life"

So that no one doubts the “holiness” of the boy Slavik, his “life” opens with a prayer and troparion (extremely, by the way, clumsy and illiterate), where the youth is given the title of “Ural and Siberian” and the rank of holiness: “prophet, healer and great martyr...” . Let us not again remind you of the prerogative of the highest hierarchy to introduce liturgical texts into use, otherwise we might be branded as nit-picking... It’s better to pay attention to some lines of the prayer:

“And as it was bequeathed about you by the holy Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, the Wonderworker, that the Lord will send His servant to Russia in recent times for the salvation of many.

Behold, we believe and pray to you, the all-valid Vyacheslav, who endured attacks, beatings, torments on earth and said to his mother in her pity: do not cry for me, my mother, such are the torments here, such are the rewards in Heaven.”

And this is already serious: God has one “Youth” - Christ, and “don’t cry for Me, Mother” - this is the irmos of the 9th song of the canon of Great Saturday, an appeal to the Mother of God. Such parallels are blasphemous, and besides, they run like a red thread throughout the book.

Slavik was born on March 22, 1982. A month before his birth, the boy’s parents woke up in the morning to “wonderful music,” loud and with an “unearthly sound.” Of course, no one except them heard this music (pp. 12-13).

The birth also took place with a sign. The baby was brought to the mother by a mysterious nurse with “deep eyes” and a voice “full of strength and authority.” The nurse in the hospital turned out to be unknown.

The boy was born unusual. He had such a “piercing gaze” that, according to his mother, he “saw through any person, with his character, illnesses, past and present. He knew literally everything about any person who turned to him, he saw his illnesses , ailments, internal organs, lymph nodes, and sometimes he directly said: “You know, auntie, you don’t have cancer.”

Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov with his mother, who made enormous efforts to turn her son into a “saint”

It’s also amazing, but Slavik saw what was going on at this man’s house, saw his family, knew the sins of his family, and also knew how to cure him” (p. 15).

A wonderful boy with very useful abilities. At Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh also had similar abilities in his youth, he even intended to become a doctor because of this, but then he prayed to God and said: “Lord, if this gift is from You, show me it, and if it is from the evil one, deliver me from it! ". And all these psychic gifts disappeared. But the boy is our “one and only” and unique...

At an appointment with a neurologist, it turned out that the boy “has a delicate nervous psyche, and he should not be vaccinated” (p. 16). Also relevant: in our time it has become good anti-vaccination tone, now any pious fool can say that my child has a delicate psyche, and you are off with your vaccinations. Moreover, this doctor turned out to be out of this world, like that nurse - no one else saw her...

And here’s what Slavik himself said about himself (if, of course, you believe your mom):

"...Oh, mother, mother,

I'm not little anymore

Oh, mother, mother,

I'm many years old!.."

One day, singing these words from a song, Slavik came up to me and looking at me with his piercing gaze, very seriously said: “You know, mommy, I really am very old. I’m almost ancient!”

Slavik told me that he remembers himself before birth: “There was a canvas road, I rushed along it at great speed, and stopped only at a deep abyss, it had no bottom, you couldn’t get out of it. And next to me I saw a tall man, dressed as if in monastic robes. At the very tip of this man's index finger there was a small, burning lamp hanging on a chain. Accidentally, the slightly bent edge of the robe revealed a dazzling light that was impossible to look at. This man calmly stepped over the abyss and stopped on the other side. Turning to me, he looked at me carefully and said: “Jump!" I ran, jumped, and barely stayed on the opposite edge of the abyss. Then I was left alone, walked a little forward. Turned to the side onto some hard, dark the road, like a tunnel and... ended up with you, mommy!"

Slavik remembered how he was getting ready to come here to us:

The Most Holy Trinity and my friends gave me a little strength from themselves. And I went to you here on the sinful Earth.

“I, Mommy, then already knew that the Earth was sinful,” said Slavik, “but I went to do everything to help save people... Then, when I return back to Them and show Them my wounds, They will ask: “How did you survive all this?” And they will thank me very much for something...” (p. 17-18)

Well, you can understand the little boy that in his fantasies he did not know that the idea of ​​​​the pre-existence of souls has long been condemned as a heresy. His story can also be understood in such a way that he is an angel incarnate. His housewife mom is also unlikely to have heard that this is a similar heresy. But where was Father Gennady Emelyanov looking?! Or did he get bad marks in some subjects at the seminary, since he missed such obvious mistakes?..

In general, Father Gennady sometimes simply amazes with his “spiritual” comments (unless they were composed by Mother Lydia herself). Here is what he writes, for example, on the topic of Slavikov’s baptism:

“Every priest many times has to baptize people who are not believers, who are far from both the church and God. (!! - A.P.) But the very sacrament of baptism is a miracle, inexplicable, full of mystery. Sometimes the soul of the priest, participating in the miracle, is illuminated from within indescribable joy, which strengthens it, does not make it possible to perform this baptism mechanically. The godlessness of people is a heavy burden and one cannot overcome it on one’s own. But how the soul rejoices when God-loving people are baptized - such as Slavik. This is already on Earth a reward for priests for confessing labor" (p.23).

It’s not clear: is this repeated baptism of unbelievers – “confessional work”?! And I thought that this was a grave sin for a priest, for which he would be punished as someone who neglects God’s work...

Gradually, the boy discovers more and more new talents: he knows in advance what will happen soon, sees some visions, constantly hears a voice:

“When Slavik was five and a half years old, his mother learned from him that he loves God more than all people, that he often hears a woman’s voice that tells him everything, that this voice is alive and speaks about the main thing. And the voices of the people around him seem to be dead and that people talk about such empty and insignificant things that he is very ashamed of them” (p. 29).

“And he also said that he knows the thoughts of our and the American president. And in general, he knows the thoughts of all people, where, what nuclear missiles are located and how many, that for him there are absolutely no secrets on earth. He was seven years old at that time, and already people came to him for treatment” (p. 33).

There are two options: either Slavik is the Lord God Himself, once again incarnate (for only the Lord can be omniscient), or someone really needs to be treated...

Slavik’s entire short life was, on the one hand, like that of an ordinary boy: he went to school, played with toys, with friends. But even from the ordinary, the authors of the book are constantly trying to draw unusual conclusions. So, at school in the 3rd grade, one boy offended Slavik. Slavik’s mother met this hooligan at school and asked:

"Why are you pestering Slavik? Why are you fighting? Did he offend you?

“I don’t know..,” Vova said and cried a lot, there was a feeling that he sincerely did not understand why he was doing this, and he was not happy with himself” (p. 42).

Of course, there’s nothing to be happy about – now your aunt will take you by the ear and drag you to your parents! But for some reason Father Gennady decided to make comments:

“A person does not know, but a demon knows what he is doing. He tries, through his inner circle, to annoy the one doing God’s work. By the way, this is one of the direct signs of his pleasing to God. It is not for nothing that they say that if a person has not suffered temptation for a good deed, then it is not accepted by God. When it comes to saving the soul, the entire demonic world is up in arms, without God’s help no one can resist here. Therefore, the boy did not understand why he pestered Slavik, but only cried" (p. 42).

Like this: if you were hit in the ear at the age of 9, then this is a “direct” sign of your pleasing to God and means that all hell has turned against you! Father, forgive me, you are delusional...

The boy Slavik loved to read. His favorite book is the Biblical Encyclopedia, which Slavik read to page 766 and stopped at “The Farewell Conversation of Jesus Christ with the Disciples”... He also studied the Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary and made bookmarks in languages: Phoenician, Greek, Ancient Arabian, etc. One day a boy was sitting and talking in an unknown language. Mom asked:

"- Slavochka, what's wrong with you? What language do you speak?

What language did Jesus Christ speak, mommy!” (p56).

“Slavik could speak other languages. I saw that animals, birds and plants understood him. When I asked: “Slavik, what is this language that you sometimes speak? I have never heard this anywhere." He replied: "This is not earthly" (p. 71).

Iconostases of some “Orthodox” admirers of Slavik Chebarkulsky

Slavik Krasheninnikov: like a saint, so are his admirers..

To check Slavik's gifts, Valentina Afanasievna went with her son to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra to see Elder Naum. The boy grabbed the old man by the robe and said: “And I have gifts from God.” To which the elder replied: “Now we’ll deal with your gifts!” (p.61).

And he figured it out - he sent a nun - a doctor - to talk to Slavik... He himself only confessed his mother and gave Slavochka the Gospel and a prayer book. From all this, Valentina Afanasievna concluded that the elder “accepted” his son, and they are now “under serious spiritual protection.” Subsequently, the Krasheninnikov family once again visited Elder Naum, he talked with the boy and invited them to move to live closer to the Lavra. But the boy predicted to his mother his imminent death and therefore the impossibility of following the elder’s advice.

But in order to consolidate the “divinity” of Slavik’s gifts, after Elder Naum they went... to the “Examination Center for Extrasensory Capabilities”! And there they found out from these psychic servants of Satan that the boy had no psychic abilities:

“He has something completely different. He has different abilities, he is a seer! Even the revolution of 1917 was made in order to destroy people ... like your son!” (p.68).

Delighted that the demons confirmed Slavik’s “chosenness”, mother and son went to eat ice cream and have fun... What can I add here...

The remaining time of his short life, Slavik was mainly engaged in “diagnosing” the diseases of everyone around him, receiving the sick and treating them, fighting sorcerers and making prophecies. At the age of ten, Slavik fell ill and died five days before his eleventh birthday.

“Slavik said: “God has shortened my life because people betray God very quickly, and therefore I won’t have time to grow up, otherwise I would have become first a doctor, and then a monk.” And he also said that “some people will be very angry to my prophecies. When they begin to come true, they will call me an evil sorcerer, but these events are destined to happen by God’s will for the sins of people; I have only been given the power to prophesy to you about the future" (p. 66).

What are these important prophecies that make people “angry”?

Prophecies

I won’t retell the prophecies, otherwise you’ll suddenly think that the priest drank Cahors and was joking... Let’s give the floor to the authors of the book:

“Slavik said that the so-called aliens, i.e. demons, are in the airspace and when planes and helicopters begin to crash frequently, it will not be because they are old or something is broken in them, but this will happen before until people understand that it is undesirable for them to occupy airspace, since human flights prevent UFOs, i.e. demons, from performing their actions in the air, because they are preparing for war with God and fool people’s heads by being in contact with the powerful people of this world.

Slavik said that aliens drag people away alive and use them as slaves; they have many places where “missing” people work in slavery. So, for example, on Earth there is what people call the Mariana Trench, at the bottom of this trench lies a thick layer of silt and other water sediments, and under them there is another bottom, where Atlantis fell through. The city is in good condition, and it is guarded by UFOs, that is, demons, so that people do not find this place. UFOs have living people in their slaves, whom they steal, but do not show themselves to them so that they do not go crazy, because the appearance of these “aliens” is terrible (p. 80).

(...) Slavik also said that semi-material UFOs use diamonds (diamonds) as fuel, which are supplied to the demons for UFOs by the “powers of this world,” that is, “initiates” from the World Government. The bigger the diamond, the better for “them”, so stories of the theft of large famous diamonds are always associated with the murder of a large number of people, not at all because of the value of these diamonds, but because they must be kept by certain people.

After some time, people will learn to make the same ships as UFOs, only using a different fuel. People will believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior, and in each aircraft there will be an unquenchable lamp and an icon of the Lord. This will be a short period when the Lord will give man the opportunity to fight with demons under the supervision of heaven.

Slavik said that when aliens take skin from a person, supposedly for analysis, then, in fact, from a small piece of skin they grow a whole layer of human skin, which they cover themselves with. They are preparing to descend on us in large numbers under the guise of aliens, driven by “evil cosmic forces”, and in fact by God, but their real appearance will be heavily disguised and they will act in the real world under the guise of real people, and sometimes a terrible “substitution” will occur " - instead of the stolen person, “this one” will appear, completely outwardly indistinguishable from the real person, and the stolen people will either be destroyed or sent into slavery.

Demons will invite people into landing UFOs all over the Earth for medical examination and treatment. People will go to them en masse for health, and will come out as “healthy zombies.” This is just one type of fooling people; there will be other methods of zombification, depending on the spiritual level of a person (p. 81-82).

(...) This is what Slavik once told his mother: “There will be one scientist who, Mommy, will really believe in me, and he and his scientist friends will invent a device for identifying demons disguised as people.

(...) Slavochka didn’t just tell stories, he seemed to be present in a future reality, so his stories about future events are surprisingly alive and reliable” (p. 83).

Well, you haven’t yet felt like a “healthy zombie” - you haven’t called a psychiatrist?.. So Father Gennady hasn’t called either, he completely agrees with Slavik:

“Today, demons are already looking at us from cartoons, from television screens, from billboards and even from the covers of school notebooks. They will come as old acquaintances and will not cause negative emotions in most people. In modern jargon, they look “cool”, and some are even attracted with your appearance. What about tomorrow?" (p.84).

It’s not at all “cool”, father, that you couldn’t find anything smarter to say about such nonsense...

Well, dear ones, do you still believe in all the blessings of the elders on such “prophecies”? Still in doubt? Then let's continue - monsters to the studio!

“He also said that soon almost all the demons will crawl out to the surface of the earth along with the devil, and in hell for some time it will be calmer than on Earth. The demons remaining in the underworld will not do their work so diligently (p. 138).

(...) Slavik said that there is a place in hell where the main big worm and many other worms crawl into a person’s nose, mouth, eyes, ears and it is very painful. Also, Slavochka told me not to go to the cemetery alone, since the worm is very smart and hears well and, sticking out a little, grabs and drags those walking alone underground.

It happens that the ground collapses under a person’s feet, and he flies into the utter darkness of hell, where he sees only many, many fiery blinking eyes surrounding him. The attacking evil spirits-demons instantly tear such a poor fellow alive into small pieces" (p. 139).

"Slavochka told many people about dinosaurs and their appearance. He said that dinosaurs would appear all over the Earth, only at different times. Everywhere underground there are voids - huge spaces where pure, clear water flows, there are rivers, many trees and many plants, very soft. Those dinosaurs that lived on Earth went underground. Due to underground nuclear explosions, they are now very large in size and are still gaining strength. In the walls of underground spaces there are a huge number of dinosaur eggs, when the climate warms, the earth will open up, there will be "the movement of huge layers of earth in different directions, or there will be holes in the ground, or landslides...", everywhere in different countries and even regions of the same country, the appearance of dinosaurs will be different. Dinosaurs will be different: herbivores and predators, and although they will not be around for long They will have time to cause a lot of trouble to the Earth” (p. 277).

Haven't you gotten sick of this kind of "wormy" gruel yet? If not, then, of course, you will eat all the other apocalyptic prophecies (which, I’m sure, the authors of the book are preparing zombified readers for). The rest of the prophecies are not much different from the collection of panicky nonsense that wanders from book to book: the last times are coming, which many of us will live to see; Disasters await us, failures of cities, famine, diseases, the “skewed” Chinese will conquer everyone, the medicines will be counterfeit (very relevant!), everyone will be given three sixes (where would we be without them!), everything will be “barcoded”, the Antichrist will come and so on, and so on... “Crystalline lattices” will fall on us from the sky, and then Angels will fly in and carry blocks of earth and level the surface of the planet... And in the end:

“When you find out who I am, you will be very frightened, because you treated me freely, and then you will rejoice and be proud of me” (p. 288). It’s unlikely - after the cemetery worms and dinosaurs outside the window, nothing can scare us anymore...

One prophecy went a little wrong: according to Slavik, the people will want to tear Gorbachev and Yeltsin to pieces when they find out the truth about them. I won’t say anything about Gorbachev, but Yeltsin let us down: he died calmly and with all honors...

Jokes aside, but it could have ended there - psychiatry is obvious. But let’s wait a little, let’s look at the topics of “healing” and “sorcerers” - they are very relevant in the church environment.

Healings and miracles

As Slavik himself said, God gave him the power to heal people so that they would believe in his prophecies. We must admit: psychologically this is true. Indeed, in essence, the “god” of many Orthodox Christians is their own “skin,” or rather, its health. Therefore, for the sake of healing, people are ready to do anything - to believe in any nonsense (as long as their backs don’t hurt!), and to hold a pebble in their cheek, and to take communion, and to sprinkle water on everything, and to worship any “warbler”. After all, if we sum up all the testimonies of the “healed”, then we clearly see what was previously called deism: God went to bed, and instead of himself he left us a miracle boy, and our whole task is to obey Slavochka (or rather, his mother).

During his lifetime, Slavochka treated many people, and the description of the “treatment” has no analogues in the lives of saints for two thousand years, but one to one it resembles treatment by psychics:

“Throughout November and December 1991, Slava treated me almost every day. The treatment took from several minutes to one hour. During the treatment period, I did not take any medications. Throughout November, he seemed to be “pulling out” the infection. I felt a tingling in my cheek and pulling out something something" (p.87).

“During the treatment, I subjectively felt that very gently, almost imperceptibly, something was stretching from my head in the form of a bunch of strings” (p. 158).

Of course, treatment (like almost any “grandmother”) is always accompanied by prayers, confession, and communion, but it is absolutely clear that the power of treatment lies in Slavochka, and everything else is for the accompanying effect.

In general, Slavochka had a very unique understanding of the causes of diseases and methods of treatment. So, in the hospital, he refused to have a blood transfusion, because “with someone else’s blood, other people’s sins enter into a person, but the blood still does not take root, does not unite with one’s own blood, since it is dead” (p. 113). O. Gennady immediately echoes him, saying that blood “preserves the genetic memory of its owner, and will not live in another, but sins will come to life...” (p. 114). It’s strange, when it comes to the Jehovah’s Witnesses with their refusal to give blood transfusions, we happily make noise about how ignorant and heretical these sectarians are! Apparently, the nonsense coming from the mouth of the “holy” youth and respectable priest miraculously changes sign from minus to plus and becomes a revelation...

Other diseases in humans appear in this way:

“Once we were drinking tea and talking in the kitchen. Suddenly a pain pierced my temples very strongly, it suddenly appeared and quickly disappeared. Noticing this, Slavochka explained: “Mommy, evil spirits constantly attack a person from above. Demonic energy in the form of black clots constantly moves at high speed, trying to penetrate a person, pierce him, and if they fail, then the person still experiences sharp pain somewhere in his body, including like you are experiencing now in the temples."

Of course, we get the bulk of illnesses from sorcerers, from the evil eye and damage (we can’t do without this; prayer books with prayers “how to be healed from damage” are now sold in our church shops!). The testimonies of those “healed” are mainly related to this. Of course, you won’t find salvation in the clinic, especially since they are gradually preparing poisonous drugs, deadly vaccinations, and 9 out of 10 doctors are psychics and masons. Salvation is only in Slavochka and his shrines. After the death of a boy, a whole industry of “healings” begins: mass manifestations of the boy, a grave, where every pebble, earth, snow, air, marble is such a great and healing shrine that only the Diveyevo shrines come close in power to Slavikov’s:

“Valentina Afanasievna taught us how to use the earth, that you can simply dilute a teaspoon of it into a liter bottle of holy water and drink it as needed: for any ailments, spiritual and physical. You can sprinkle a little earth into a tablespoon and drop a few drops of holy water - with this life-giving earth -applying the cream with a cross on the sore spot - head, leg, arm - it helps amazingly, because we asked Slavochka, and through the boy the Lord helps us. And I also immediately dipped marble pebbles from the grave into the holy water, and with this water you can wash, sprinkle and drink with faith and hope for help" (p. 376-377).

And we don’t need priests - people handle pebbles and snow just fine on their own, chew them and you’re healthy! Even priest Gennady Emelyanov completely agrees with this:

“Of course, even priests can pray to God for the healing of people, pity and console them. Sometimes the Lord hears them and sends what they ask for, but here is something different. For Slavik there were and are no barriers to communication with the Heavenly world. He became His a guide..." (p. 164) Another thing is interesting: does the St. Petersburg bishop sometimes hear what the priest is carrying him?

Moreover, Slavochka’s shrines, in addition to healings, can even inspire repentance!

R. tells Bozhi Fedor (by the way, one of the workers of the educational center where the book was published):

"... I got sick. And then I remembered Slava’s scarf. I think, let me tie the scarf around my sore throat and ask Slavik to intercede for my healing.

Before I had time to tie my throat and stand up for prayer, a miracle happened! Where did the lukewarmness that just possessed me go? I stand and weep about my unworthiness! About my meanness and baseness, about vile gluttony (..) The Lord Himself is crucified for my sake, maddened in my lukewarmness! " (p. 353).

Every year it becomes more convenient to be saved - you don’t need to go into the desert to repent, now it’s enough to have the necessary scarf (pebble, etc.) and that’s it - the gift of tears is guaranteed!.. After all, this is simply incomprehensible - we have slipped into primitive paganism with amulets, fetishes, totems, and at the same time you are sure that the Lord was crucified for this?!

Slavochka’s main emphasis in healing was on cancer, because it is known that people are not afraid of anything else as much as cancerous tumors. “Slavochka said that people would learn to recover from cancer, but he did not say that scientists or doctors would create new drugs for cancer, namely, that people would learn to recover from cancer” (p. 312). To make it easier for people to learn, Slavochka left them a considerable number of recipes (mostly herbal). Can you imagine what will happen here now, how many crazy people will start to develop their diseases, which were still treatable in the early stages, and begin to inhale burning “cocklebur seeds”?! But I’m afraid that few people will heed the warnings: if they believe in dinosaurs, then for the sake of their health they will lose the last remnants of prudence.

We could analyze the miracles and healings from this book for a long time, but I think the main thing is already clear: there is no Orthodoxy here, no Christ - people pray for Slavochka and for their health.

Sorcerers and enemies

Slavik is a unique phenomenon. According to his mother: “Slavik’s main purpose was to fight evil spirits, he himself said so several times” (p. 149).

Indeed, this is the first time in the history of Christianity when the fight against demons is considered the “main purpose.” There is not a single saint in our Church who not only said such things about himself, but even thought of them! Christ himself came to Earth to deliver people from the power of sin, the devil and death, but not for exorcism. In fact, Slavik is likened to the Archangel Michael, who fought with Satan.

Slavik was not afraid of sorcerers, he treated them “calmly”. He considered his main enemies to be the Freemasons and followers of the famous clairvoyant and telepath V. Messing (p. 171).

Everything is clear with the Freemasons - they are enemies of everyone, always and in everything. It has become good form among Orthodox loudmouths to blame the Freemasons for all the sins of the human race, starting with Cain (the first Freemason).

It's more interesting with Messing. The fact is that the talents of Slavochka and the famous telepath are extremely similar. Messing also predicted the future. So, he predicted, for example, the defeat of Hitler if he went to war against the Soviet Union. Because of this clairvoyant, the Jew was persecuted by the Nazis, and he had to move to live in the USSR, where he spent the rest of his life performing on stage, guessing the thoughts of the audience and finding hidden objects. He saw people's illnesses and could amazingly control his psyche and body. Messing could induce in himself a cataleptic state similar to death, his body would become stiff and could lie flat between two chairs, he would stop breathing, and at the appointed time he would return to normal.

Now let’s listen to Valentina Afanasievna: “Slavochka sometimes asked me not to be disturbed, since he “needed to rest and gain strength to fight the spirits of evil.” Then he lay motionless for several hours, as if frozen, I carefully watched him, checking whether he was breathing, because it was not visible from the outside.

Now I often think, maybe at this very time the struggle was taking place? After all, he sometimes got up after 2-3 hours, very tired, as if after hard, long work, and asked for food” (p. 149).

So, it's worth thinking about. Messing, by the way, spent his whole life searching for where he got these talents from, he wanted his abilities to be scientifically studied, he lived a very modest life and did not pretend to be a prophet, unlike the “unique” youths... But the authors of the book are sure of the opposite, they Messing's abilities are clearly defined as demonic and the verdict is passed:

“Communication with demons is always self-destructive in essence, no matter what forms it takes - be it treatment, predictions, manipulation of consciousness, etc. As a rule, people are seduced by the external side of all kinds of miracles, especially if it concerns their physical health, and are not at all think about their source. If a miracle means God is doing it, this is the generally accepted opinion - all kinds of sorcerers and healers speculate on this" (p. 178).

Well said! I am ready to subscribe to every word - but this sentence must be applied to the book itself and to all those who were seduced by it! But no: Slavik’s holiness and chosenness cannot be doubted:

“When we talk about spiritual gifts, the main and primary question is about their source, since it can be difficult to determine it purely externally, and an error has an extremely detrimental effect on physical and spiritual health.

Just as harmful as recognizing a lie as the truth is the opposite - recognizing the truth as a lie. Very educated people who independently study the Holy Tradition often sin with this, and sometimes this happens with young priests. Only one’s own spiritual warfare, under the guidance of an experienced spiritual mentor - an elder, is capable of, with humility, revealing the secrets of the spiritual world, but only personally, experimentally. Outside of the battle waged by the youth Vyacheslav, spiritual life is impossible” (p. 179-180).

For this, all that remains for me is to put aside my godless critical pen, for I am young and have studied university sciences, and the elder is “not an imam” - and fall at the feet of Father Gennady (it was his “spiritual” explanations that were just quoted) and Mother Lydia, who they were not offended by age, and they had an elder, and they went through the abuse “according to Slavochka” perfectly, and we give them praise for their patristic instructions, despite the numerous spelling and grammatical errors...

During Slavochka’s life, sorcerers and sectarians jumped around him, tried to win him over to their side in order to make money on his gifts, and then, embittered, tried in every possible way to harm him. Juna, Kashpirovsky, and Longo were interested in Slavochka, they sent checks for a million (!) to his loved ones to charge amulets in his holy room... And when Slavik died, evil forces took up arms against his relatives and all those who helped in the creation of books about a wonderful youth. As one of Slavochka’s followers said: “It’s impossible to list all the troubles that befell us, helping Valentina Afanasievna after and during the creation of the book about Slavochka. If we start telling everything, we’ll immediately be sent to a mental hospital” (p. 108). Yes and indeed...

The fight was waged on all fronts: they planted mines, they fired, and files about Slavochka disappeared from computers, and computers were stolen, and they gave enchanted dresses, and they did a lot of things that psychiatrists would quickly figure out...

And what happened to the common people who pray to Slavochka! And the dog’s horns grew, and the husbands “meeked” (maybe it’s the husbands who have problems with horns?), and in Slavochka’s cemetery some dark forces are always flying around those who are suffering and want “healing”, and, forgive the naturalism, feces the child was “covered with pink little dragons,” which miraculously disappeared as soon as the nurse appeared...

It is necessary to fight such demonic guards fully armed:

“A parishioner of the temple, Valentina, once complained to Sveta that something unpleasant was happening at her home, something was scaring her, knocking, and she was very scared to be alone. Sveta took the pebbles from Slavochka’s grave, which were with Valentina, and laid them out in four corners , and in the center they placed a pebble from the Diveyevo Mother of God Canal, and sprinkled Epiphany water in and around the house. Sveta and Valentina walked around the house with icons, prayed, especially asked Slavochka to protect those living in the house. After that, the knocking stopped, and the house became better , calmer. Valentina now often turns with gratitude to the youth Vyacheslav, and left the holy stones in the corners. Thank God for the help, otherwise how can one live in a house if it is anxious and scary?" (p369)

Have you written down the recipe? Do not confuse the layout of the stones - this is important. Just don’t even think about calling a priest, otherwise he will suddenly not understand this “Orthodoxy” and will hit him on the head with a censer...

But laying out pebbles is not enough to save the soul. As one elder said to Valentina Afanasievna: “in our time it is not enough to wear one cross, we need either relics or some other shrine” (p. 367) ... Well, of course - the Cross of the Lord is not enough, and the Resurrection of Christ is not enough - it is much more important to put a pebble in your cheek and shout: “Glory to you, our Slavochka, glory to you”!..

Let's stop there. You can delve into this “witchcraft” madness for a long time, but it’s better to say in time: enough is enough.

Diagnosis

Of course, on the one hand, any smart person, having read such a book, will shrug his shoulders and say: “What nonsense!” Then he will laugh, throw away this nonsense and forget about it. But! There is another problem - we have thousands of Orthodox people snapping up copies of this book, signing up in queues and simply raving about it - which means we won’t be able to simply turn away from it. We need to make an accurate diagnosis of this disease - maybe there will be people who can be sobered up by it?

I have already read and analyzed a lot of “yellow” pseudo-Orthodox waste paper - about super miracle workers, and about prophecies for every taste, and about shrines, and about much more. I can honestly say that this book is unique. Its release shows how our Orthodox readers are prepared by previous false church books to accept such madness. Because the book about Slavik is clearly madness, just a ready-made doctoral dissertation for a psychiatrist. Apparently the authors are so confident in our idiocy that they boldly put the bishop’s blessing on the title page. As one admirer of Slavik told me: “What are you talking about! There’s the bishop’s seal, and the signature, and photographs of the elders!” This is a lie - you have to be simply insane to bless something like this.

After reading the book, I had a question - “was there a boy”? That is, he probably lived, and was cute, and perhaps had strange, extrasensory abilities. But everything else is prophecies, miracles, etc. - isn’t it the fruit of the creativity of other people, in particular, first of all, his mother, Valentina Afanasievna and mother Lidia Emelyanova?

Throughout the book, both of these ladies are busy praising each other, assuring readers of how “significant” they are. It’s not for nothing that the boy supposedly appears to everyone every now and then and assures him that his mother “does everything right”... In fact, his mother took on the functions of a kind of “keeper of prophecies,” a medium through whom Slavik broadcasts from the “heavenly world.” All prophecies are known mainly only from her lips. And miracles are very simple: do you want me to announce tomorrow that I am a miracle worker and an elder? In a month you will have several bags of letters about healings and help in all matters, including the purchase of currency (as in one case with Slavik). Just whistle to our people - they will confirm anything. Here, recently, one hieromonk was deprived of his rank for soul-destroying pastoral activities, and some claim that in the chapel where he served, there is still light left from his grace...

In this book, the authors tried (wittingly or unwittingly) to collect almost all the heresies that are now in fashion among our people: these are everyone’s favorite “sixes”, barcodes, vaccinations, sorcerers, “king-redeemer”, etc. In Slavik’s room, for example, in the iconostasis in the very center hangs an “icon” of the “elder” Rasputin with Tsarevich Alexy in his arms. It is unclear why they brought in the “Miracle of Fatima”. For them, Slavik himself is either God, or an angel, or a mysterious “highland” alien-rescuer.

But the main thing, it seems to me, is different in this book. As in all similar books, it conveys very subtly, but at the same time effectively, a destructive idea: the official Church is the Antichrist without five minutes. Slavik allegedly says that almost “all the priests” will accept him, except one (me, or what?), but! – there is not a word about the bishops, whether they will accept it. And about bishops, this is slightly hinted at:

“And the persecutors of holiness were not always outside the Church, it also happened inside it. Christ himself was condemned to death by the Sanhedrin, the highest body of spiritual power among the Jews, and “which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute?” (p. 387)

It is not for nothing that these words were included in the Afterword - these words are suggested to be remembered and pondered. The following passages constantly appear throughout the book:

“The time will come when psychics and unbelieving careerists will move into the church, and fewer ordinary people will attend it, feeling the insincerity of the church ministers.” (p. 203)

“Much more often, complacency in the sinlessness and correctness of one’s life unites the priest with the parishioners, contact is maintained, but at what level? There is no place left for eldership and the prophecies of the holy fathers in such a spiritual life, they are expelled as superfluous, considered an object of delusion, while real delusion is firmly established takes root in the souls. This occurs due to the secularization of the spiritual consciousness of both the pastor and the laity." (p.204-205)

I am sure that this is the main goal of this book: to prepare people to distrust the Church, the hierarchy and “ordinary” priests. And although it is said that all this is “coming”, but, naturally, people transfer the “future” to the present, and are already beginning to look for the “true”, “prophetic” elders who are hiding in “secret places” and preparing to serve the liturgy in times Antichrist, which many of us must live to see, according to Slavochka. This book is like a bold move, a zero-sum bet: if people believe in dinosaurs, they will believe in everything! We must admit: unfortunately, the move turned out to be successful - many already believe in dinosaurs...

And finally, I would like to say one thing: we ourselves saw the branch on which we sit. After all, I repeat, this “angel dust”, this spiritual heroin, is not distributed under the counter in doorways, but is regularly brought to our diocesan warehouse. Priests and laity take these books, trusting the “officiality” of the purchase, and then it’s too late... At least the priests need to control this issue: check every book that ends up in the parish store or library. Maybe then the spiritual drug trade will return to its illegal, criminal status.

P.S. I confiscated a book about Slavochka from one of his admirers, for which they almost clawed my eyes out and called me “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” So, according to Father Gennady Emelyanov, this is a “direct sign” of the godliness of this critical article?
