Since this sensitive soul could not accept the lie of Uniatism, in 1905 and 1906 Alexander visited the Lavras in Kiev and Pochaiev, where he met both the elderly Metropolitan of Kiev, Flavian, and the dynamic Archbishop Antony (Khrapovitsky), who was to play a vital role in Fr. Alexis’ later life.

Athanatious the Great, Cyril of Alexandria, Photios the Great, and Averky of Jordanville.

Living in Russia has broadened my horizons. I came to realize that Fr. Job was right when he said that we [Carpatho-Russia] cannot exist without Russia. Without Russia we will have no freedom, no prosperity, no specific cultural or spiritual identity.
