Patriarch Kirill
Talk about the fact that the Patriarch is living in luxury, unfounded. This was announced by the head of the Synodal Department for relations between the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) with the society and mass-media Vladimir Legoyda in his interview to RTVi.
“He doesn’t have a luxurious lifestyle. Him inhuman and inhumane load graph” — said Legoyda. According to him, the standard of living of the head of the Russian Orthodox Church “is far from level even a very rich man.”
Legoyda added that close to the Patriarch for eight years and does not understand how that withstands high loads. The head of the Synodal Department said that Cyril even no personal time.
“I have in this situation is to say that we had him on “Lada Kalina” ride or the tram? I have all these conversations seem empty,” he concluded.
A few years ago, the media published the results made by the experts assessments of the financial status of Patriarch Kirill. According to them, in 2004 its assets stood at four billion dollars. The Synodal information Department then criticized these data, noting that they wrongly discredit the Church and her Primate.
