Abstract
Today is the sixty-fifth anniversary of Metropolitan Sergii's "Declaration," also known as the "declaration of loyalty," to the Soviet regime. On the basis of this document, the Russian Orthodox church built its relations with the "state of workers and peasants." This date is, of course, not one to celebrate. But it does give us a reason to review the declaration and the history of how it was received. Hegumen Innokentii (born Sergei Pavlov), who holds a candidate degree in theology and is a research fellow in the Public Relations Section of the Department of External Ecclesiastical Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, gives his opinion on the events of those years.
