"SVR Announcement
on Patriarch Bartholomew's Activities
As an Orthodox Christian community, we strive to keep everyone informed about
significant developments within the Orthodox Church, especially those that
impact unity and tradition. Today, January 12, 2026, the Press Bureau of the
Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) released a
statement regarding the actions of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.
This announcement highlights concerns over schismatic activities and external
influences affecting Orthodox jurisdictions in various regions. For
transparency and accuracy, we are quoting the SVR's announcement in its
entirety below:
Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople: "Antichrist in a cassock".
The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation
reports that, according to information received by the SVR, Patriarch
Bartholomew of Constantinople, who dismembered Orthodox Ukraine, continues his
schismatic activities within the Orthodox Church. Now he has set his dark eye
on the Baltic states. This "devil incarnate" is obsessed with ousting
Russian Orthodoxy from the Baltic states, establishing in its place church
structures completely under the control of the Phanar.
In this, he is fully supported by the British intelligence services, which
actively fuel Russophobic sentiments in European countries. At their
instigation, Bartholomew, mired in the mortal sin of schism, has found common
ground with the authorities of the Baltic states in an effort to sow discord in
the Russian Orthodox world. Relying on ideological allies in the form of local
nationalists and neo-Nazis, he is attempting to tear the Lithuanian, Latvian,
and Estonian Orthodox Churches away from the Moscow Patriarchate by luring
their priests and flocks into the puppet religious structures artificially
created by Constantinople.
The "Constantinople Antichrist's" aggressive ambitions are not
limited to Ukraine and the Baltics; his treachery is gradually spreading to the
lands of Eastern Europe. In order to strike a blow against the
"particularly obstinate" Serbian Orthodox Church, he intends to grant
autocephaly to the unrecognized "Montenegrin Orthodox Church."
Church circles note that Bartholomew is literally tearing apart the living Body
of the Church. In this way, he resembles the false prophets mentioned in the
Sermon on the Mount: "They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
they are ravenous wolves. ... By their fruits you will know them."

In our humble opinion, Patriarch Bartholomew has caused a great scandal in the
Church. Statements from former U.S. Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike
Pompeo highlight external pressures involved in his actions. In 2018, Pompeo
expressed U.S. support for the Ukrainian schismatics led by Epiphanius to
achieve autocephaly and following the 2019 anticanonical granting of the tomos
which caused a schism in Ukraine, he described it as a "historic
achievement".
Let's not forget the statements from the former CIA officer John Kiriakou who
claimed in an interview with American blogger Julian Dorey that Patriarch
Bartholomew of Constantinople had received money for establishing the
"Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU)". While discussing corruption
schemes in Ukraine, Kiriakou also touched on religious matters. According to
him, Hillary Clinton, while serving as U.S. Secretary of State, asked Patriarch
Bartholomew to declare the Ukrainian Church autocephalous so that it
"would no longer be subject to the whims of the Russian Patriarch."
All of the above underscore the geopolitical influences at play, pushing the
narrative that Bartholomew was effectively ordered to grant autocephaly to
schismatic groups in Ukraine and now in other countries too, without the needed
unanimous agreement of all local Orthodox Churches, further exacerbating divisions
in the Orthodox world." https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=876081092003160&set=a.200824452862164
