Here they ask, is it true that Moscow will fall underground if Lenin's body is taken out of the Mausoleum?
This legend arose thanks to an ominous prophecy uttered by a certain old monk-schema-monk John, who asceticised in the Church of St. Nicholas the Ugodnik in the village of Nikolskoye of the Yaroslavl diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, the text of which first appeared on the Internet in 2011 and over the following years was repeatedly replicated in various media. This prediction reads: “In April, when the 'bald' man is taken out of the Mausoleum, Moscow will sink into the salt waters and little of Moscow will remain. Sinners will swim in salt water for a long time, but there will be no one to save them. They will all die. Therefore, for those of you who work in Moscow, I recommend working there until April. The Astrakhan and Voronezh regions will be flooded. Leningrad will be flooded. The city of Zhukovsky (Moscow region, 30 km. From the capital) will be partially destroyed."
The prediction of the schema monk John describes the real Armageddon: a monstrous famine, because of which “those who have accepted the“seal of antichrist”will eat the dead,” the lack of water, gas and electricity, the Chinese and Japanese occupation of the Far East and Siberia all the way to the Urals. The global cataclysm, according to the prediction, should end with the restoration of the monarchy in Russia: “Reverend Seraphim of Sarov will come. He will unite all Slavic peoples and states and bring the Tsar with him ….
According to the assurances of the perspicacious elder, all this should have happened back in 1999, but the prayers of the Theotokos postponed the punishment of the Lord for some time, but now there is almost no time left before the execution of the heavenly judgment. For those wishing to get a chance for salvation, in addition to atonement for sins, Elder John urged them to hastily leave both Moscow and St. Petersburg and move to regional villages and villages, where residents will have the opportunity to feed themselves by growing their own gardens.
However, neither the life of the mysterious monk-schema-monk, nor his reliable photographs, nor verified testimonies about him are given anywhere in publications of this kind. Moreover, the origin of this dark prophecy was dubious sites and forums with anonymous authors.
A similar prophecy associated with the removal of the body of Vladimir Lenin from the Mausoleum was also uttered by the late blessed Alipia of Kiev, who left behind many prophecies. In the book "On the pasture of the Mother of God", which became the first attempt to tell the Orthodox reader about the Kiev ascetic, nun Alipia through the memories of eyewitnesses, there is evidence of her predicting war after the reburial of the body of the founder of the Soviet state: "Do not worry about anything, neither food, nor money collect, there will be a terrible famine and cold, the war will begin as soon as the corpse is taken out. Disasters will be terrible, but the Lord will take away his people earlier, he will not allow them to suffer. You cannot leave Kiev, those who will remain alive and work at state-owned enterprises will receive 200-300 grams of bread and a crown."
However, the ROC itself treats any prophecies, even those uttered by canonized saints, with a fair amount of skepticism. So, for example, answering the question whether it is worth believing the predictions of the elders, Protodeacon Sergiy Shalberov writes: “Is it really necessary to unconditionally trust the elders? One should not be surprised at the diversity of their prophecies - such a difference of opinion is quite natural. The saints were also people, and could express their point of view on the development of any situation, but given the degree of their veneration already during their lifetime, their every word could be perceived by others as a prophecy. However, today, like the ancient Greek pagans, we want to find a pythia, a mystical predictor of the future, in order to get an answer to exciting questions and at the same time, infantilely shift the responsibility for fate onto the shoulders of authoritative elders, without thinking especially,that our future largely depends on ourselves.
