He has a luxurious apartment in central Moscow, has been immortalized in costume aboard a yacht, and wears expensive watches on his wrist. He is not an oligarch. But he should be included in the European Union’s sixth package of sanctions against Moscow. The Patriarch of Moscow and all the Russias Kirill defended in each of his sermons the war against the Ukraine of Vladimir Putin and with the Russian president has consolidated over the years a close alliance that sees the Kremlin and the Church, always on identical positions and gradually more extremist, in defending and promoting the “Russky Mir” (Russian world). The Russian Orthodox Church is considered, from an economic point of view, as a large multinational: the Patriarchate of Moscow is headed by over two hundred dioceses, in Russia and abroad, more than a thousand parishes which together transfer the equivalent of several million to Moscow. euros a year, more than 700 monasteries, 30 thousand parishes. Then there are pilgrimages and tourism as sources of income. Hotels, such as the Danilovskaya and the Moscow Universitetskaya. Two months after his appointment, in 2009, Kirill initiated a reorganization of the Church’s finances. He has restored the financial and economic management that had been closed by his predecessor Alexei II. According to an estimate by Nikolai Mitrokhin of the Center for Eastern European Studies at the University of Bremen, the incomes of the Russian church amounted to about $ 500 million a year in the early 2000s. According to various estimates, by 2013, they had more than tripled. Already on March 6, Kirill had delivered a sermon in which he accused the West of having “exterminated civilians in the Donbass” for years, because in the region “the so-called values offered today by those who aspire to world power are rejected in the pro-Russian region. “. In particular, the people living in Donbass have refused to organize gay pride, and for this reason, he said, the West wants to destroy them. The special military operation, Kirill said, has a “metaphysical” dimension against the “forces of evil”. And again on 10 April he called the people to gather around the authorities and the leaders “to feel the responsibility for the people, the humility and to be ready to serve them. Then there will be in our people a real solidarity and the ability to reject the people. enemies, both internal and external “. The Patriarch also defended the war on terrorism fought by Putin’s soldiers in Syria as a” holy battle “. “Today our country is the most active in countering terrorism,” he said in 2015, as Russian forces bombed Aleppo and popes blessed bombs and missiles before they were loaded on planes.
