The Swiss publication, referring to declassified archives, states that during the Soviet era, Gundyaev worked for the KGB.

The Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Kirill (in the world Vladimir Gundyaev) spied for the USSR in the Swiss city of Geneva in the 1970s, where he was the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church at the World Council of Churches. This was said by the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung.

The publication states that the declassified archive testifies: the current patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church once worked for the KGB and was an intelligence agent under a pseudonym. Mikhaylov.

In particular, he engaged in espionage when he was in Geneva. His main task was to influence the World Council of Churches, which at that time included many Soviet agents.

At the same time, the ROC refused to comment on such information in any way.

The Russian embassy in Switzerland called the publication “an example of Russophobia” and denied all accusations against Patriarch Kirill.

As we have already reported, Patriarch Kirill earlier assured the flock that the Russian invaders by participating in the invasion of Ukraine would be able to “repent” for their sins.

In addition, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, which supports the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, called on the eve of Christmas to establish a “Christmas truce.”
