“Madmen, come to your senses, stop your bloody massacres. What you are doing is not only cruel – it’s a satanic deed, for which you’ll burn in the fires of hell in the life to come, and will be damned by posterity.” With these words, the Head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Tikhon, addressed the people in February 1918. The speech was a response to anti-religious pogroms happening all over the country.
