Introduction
This short volume was written in 2006, before the false union of the majority of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad with the Soviet Moscow Patriarchate. Authored by Olga Ackerly-Dolskaja, a former Professor of Music at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York, this book provides an insider’s perspective on how the Russian government, with the help of certain ROCOR hierarchs under their influence, betrayed the eighty-year legacy of the Russian Church Abroad, undermined Metropolitan Vitaly (Ustinov), and deceived the majority of the laity into believing that this union was God-inspired and spiritually beneficial.
