Hieromonk Alexey Turikov (according to his passport – Sergey), who had a rapid career and became the secretary of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’, was elevated to the rank of archimandrite on January 8, 2020. But the result of his activity was not only the observance of the commandments, serving God, but also the opportunity to get hold of materially, despite the fact that this, to put it mildly, is not welcomed by religious canons.

So, in January of this year on the website “Auto.ru“an advertisement appeared under number 1117916471, where buyers are invited to purchase the premium “Genesis G70 I”, produced in 2019.

“The new car was practically never used because the family has more than one car. The mileage is real. Stored in a heated parking lot. Was not involved in an accident,” the ad states.

By an amazing “accident,” the owner of the car is the regent of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord on the Sands, Angelina Alekseevna Turikova, who is Sergei’s mother. At the same time, not shying away from religious or even ethical norms, potential buyers are invited to evaluate and test the car directly on the territory belonging to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (photos from the advertisement were taken directly in the courtyard of the temple complex).

It is difficult to imagine what sins a clergyman can forgive parishioners if he decides to open a car dealership on the site of one of the main churches in Russia. And the big question is, did Turikov limit himself to just cars?
