I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 217
Only Krnovel
He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (217)
“Everyone, let us pray for world peace and the repose of the souls of the victims.”
This is Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union,
The Russian Orthodox Church held a prayer service for the victims of the Balkans.
The main culprit of this massacre is Serbia,
The point of this incident is that Serbia is a country where most of the population is Orthodox, and extremists centered around them have committed massacres against Muslims and Christians.
The question is whether the Russian Orthodox Church is involved in this incident.
The Catholic Church is centered around the Vatican, but the Orthodox Church is not.
The Russian Orthodox Church is a major force, but it is also home to several sects, each with its own strengths, and the Russian Orthodox Church believes that the Serbian bishops are responsible for this incident.
The question is, what benefit does this attitude have for the unity of the Orthodox Church?
The Orthodox Church is already in conflict with the Catholic Church over leadership.
The Vatican maintains that the Orthodox Church is a part of the Catholic Church, a position that the Orthodox Church, of course, opposes.
But what do you think the Orthodox sects will think, since the Orthodox Church tried to cut the tail of the events in Serbia? They may think that since they cannot trust the Russian Orthodox Church, they will join the Catholic Church.
Or, we could reject both Catholicism and Orthodoxy and go our own way.
This is where the problem started.
“Gentlemen, we ask the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. What on earth did the Soviet Union do when the US and Korea were oppressing the Orthodox Church in Serbia?!! Why didn’t they say anything when the Orthodox people were dying?!!”
A statement from an Orthodox church on the Serbian border,
The bishop poured out that the Soviet Union should have responded more actively to the US-South Korean invasion of the Balkans.
Why didn’t the Soviet Union react when the Balkans were being trampled?
First of all, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union does not recognize religion.
Religious persecution that began during the Khrushchev era,
The construction of cathedrals and church extensions was not permitted, and all religions, including Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Protestants, were rejected.
It was the current Communist Party Secretary Brezhnev who eased this up a bit, but if you think that this means the Orthodox Church is free from surveillance, you are mistaken.
“All executives who attended the service will be expelled from the party.”
“All right.”
The cadres who attended the service were all expelled from the party, and churches that refused to allow surveillance and control were all closed.
This is the reason why the Russian Orthodox Church failed to unite and its sects spread throughout the country, and this church on the border of Serbia and the Soviet Union is one of them.
Why would the Soviet Union send troops to protect them?
Of course, if the US and South Korea had tried to occupy the Balkans, the Soviet Union would have taken action as well, but the South Korean-US allied forces only mopped up the Orthodox fanatics and left.
“It’s nothing more than that….”
“We don’t like those guys either.”
The Soviet Communist Party still regards the Russian Orthodox Church as a thorn in its side.
The reason the Soviet Union has left the Orthodox Church alone until now is because it has been killing and killing and killing, but has not been able to end it.
Until the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of the 1917 revolution and was replaced by a communist regime, more than 90% of the population were Russian Orthodox Christians.
What does it mean that a communist revolution broke out in a country like this?
At that time, workers and peasants were extremely poor and sought solace in their hardships through religion.
However, at that time, the Orthodox Church was nothing more than a vested interest group supported by the capitalist and landowning classes. Where would the Orthodox Church, which did not engage in any production activities, get the money to build over 300 churches?
The Communist Party was exposed for what it was, and the Orthodox Church began to rapidly collapse.
“Those who attack the church are considered traitors to God!!”
“Communism is atheism and treason against God!! Stop the revolution!!”
“This is hilarious!! The world has changed, you guys!!”
“Have you been acting as God’s agent while sucking our blood all this time?!!”
In fact, Vladimir Lenin gave lectures all over Russia, criticizing the church and completely separating church and state.
It was decided to destroy the Orthodox Church, which had been supported by the royal family and capitalists under Imperial Russia.
The number of churches, which had reached 331 in 1917, completely declined to only 30 in 1932.
But this is just the beginning,
In 1933, the Communist Party announced the ‘Five-Year Plan to Fight Religion’, completely closing down churches and imprisoning all clergy.
In such extreme oppression, 40,000 clergy and millions of believers were massacred. The oppression was so severe that the number of Orthodox believers, which had been around 100 million during the Russian Empire, dropped to less than 2 million in 1938.
If religion had dried up and died like this, the Soviet Union would have been delighted.
But when the great tragedy of World War II occurred, in which 20 million Soviet people died, religion began to sprout again.
“Why did the world become communist and end up like this?”
“Reality is so miserable, is God really the only one we can trust?”
The backlash against communism’s failure to deliver the ideal society it promised brought people back to the church.
What can the Communist Party do in this situation?
In order to hide their mistakes, they had no choice but to join hands with the church again, and the Orthodox Church also decided that joining hands with the Communist Party was the only way to preserve its influence.
This is the history of the Soviet Union and the Orthodox Church, the two sides are not in a cooperative relationship, but rather in a precarious state where they could clash again at any time.
But the Orthodox Church criticized the Soviet government?
This wasn’t a problem that could just be passed over.
“The Soviet Union is in a bad state!! Where is the idealistic society promised to the people?!! They say they have established economic cooperation with South Korea, but why aren’t the benefits going to the workers?!!”
“you’re right!!”
“The Soviet Union has no power anymore!! It doesn’t even react to the US and South Korea trampling on the Balkan Peninsula!! This is the true nature of the Soviet Union, which stands shoulder to shoulder with the US!!”
“There is no need to fear the Soviet Union anymore!! Let’s destroy the empty communism and reclaim God’s world!!”
The fire that started on the Serbian-Soviet border spread throughout the Soviet Union.
This is possible because the workers are disappointed in the Communist Party, and as the Orthodox bishop said, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has economic cooperation with Korea and receives more than 80 billion rubles every year.
But where does all that money go?
While workers live in poverty, Soviet Communist Party officials fill their bellies and hand out medals.
In fact, under General Secretary Brezhnev, Communist Party officials awarded themselves 200 medals.
What on earth did they do for the people to receive such a medal?
Workers also demanded an explanation for this.
“Where did all the 400 billion rubles go?!!”
“Who got the medals?!! What on earth have they done for the people?!!”
“Isn’t the Communist Party the real hotbed of corruption?!!”
The Soviet Union was literally turned upside down,
When the Orthodox Church laid out mats, the workers who had been oppressed by the Soviet Union’s oppressive policies rose up.
***
“Did you say there was a rebellion in the Soviet Union?”
“Yes, sir, the situation seems to be getting more and more serious.”
This is the Daedeok County official residence.
I received an urgent message from the Soviet Union.
It was actually somewhat predictable that the Orthodox Church, which had been oppressed by the Communist Party for so long, would join hands with workers and rebel.
“If you’ve collected 400 billion rubles, you should redistribute it well. How can you eat all of it?”
Are the US and South Korea stupid enough to raise wages by 10%?
Even in a capitalist society, distribution is important for maintaining the social system, and 60% of subsidies in the United States come from private donations or support.
If capitalists are willing to donate, then the US redistribution system must be working well, but the Soviet Union is not.
A party that exists for the people doesn’t distribute its profits to the workers?
This means that the Soviet Communist Party has lost its ability to govern itself.
Over the past five years, the South Korean government has spent over 400 billion rubles on Russia, but not a single penny of it has gone to the workers?
This is something that I have no words to say even if it fails.
What’s even more interesting is that the Soviet Communist Party is shifting responsibility to the Korean companies, and the Communist Party, in a state of crisis, is sticking its duck feet out, saying that the Korean government has not paid the promised amount.
They say that Korea is the one who ate up 400 billion rubles, but is it okay to repay kindness with enmity like this? I have decided to push the Soviet Union out from here.
‘You are paper tigers now, there is nothing to be afraid of.’
The United States and South Korea did not intervene in the Balkan crisis thoughtlessly.
If they had been concerned about Soviet intervention, they would not have intervened, but the Soviet Union has long since lost its ability to self-regulate, and there is no way that a country like this could function properly with its military.
The Soviet Union did not intervene in the Balkan Peninsula situation, but failed to intervene.
What kind of war are they waging if they can’t even control the Orthodox Church and the workers’ rebellion?
Literally a paper tiger, if they had used the 400 billion rubles properly they could have reorganized the country, but they kicked away even the last chance.
The Soviet Union, half-mad from internal strife,
I agreed to coordinate with the United States to kill the Soviet Union.
Korean-American companies all withdrew from the Soviet Union, and the Communist Party suffered a huge blow as its annual source of income of 80 billion rubles was cut off.
The Middle East Oil and Gas Commission also manipulated energy prices, lowering the price of energy entering Europe and blocking Soviet exports.
The Soviet Union, under attack from within and without, was rapidly collapsing, and the first signal of collapse came in Ukraine.
***
“Let’s go to Moscow!!”
“Let’s go!! Warriors of God!!”
“Wow~!!!!”
This is Ukraine, where a revolutionary organization was formed centered around the Orthodox Church.
Ukraine is a region that combines the industrial zone and the largest agricultural area of the Soviet Union. In other words, the people there were exploited to that extent by the Communist Party.
Even though they work themselves to the bone in factories and farms, their livelihoods do not improve at all. Where on earth did the 400 billion rubles they received from South Korea go?
That’s the money our people deserve,
What have the communists been doing until now that you can swallow it all in one gulp?
An endless burning rage engulfed the continent.
150,000 Orthodox Christians who had been living in hiding joined the revolution, and the number of rebels increased to 950,000 in just 20 days.
Even the Moscow Orthodox Church, which had been living on the side of the oppressed, joined the revolution, and as the Orthodox Church, which had been divided for a while, united, its power grew to 16 million.
Even the Soviet Communist Party couldn’t control it,
The executives began to take their share and flee overseas.
“Can I run away to Korea?”
“Welcome. Welcome.”
The South Korean government accepted Soviet defectors.
The collapse of the Communist Party would have been accelerated if an escape route had been opened, and as the rats who had packed their bags left one by one, the administrative power of the Soviet Union was completely paralyzed.
Meanwhile, Moscow was taken over by Orthodox revolutionary forces.
The statue of Lenin was toppled and citizens gathered together and burned red flags.
An incident that showed what the end of a government that lost its ability to govern itself would be like.
The collapse of the Soviet Union, which once stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States, shocked the world.
