No sooner was lie outside Red territory than he threw off tire mask, renounced the Bolshevik Synod and attested his devotion to the Patriarch Tikhon.
Archbishop Nikolai, in a statement, raid: “No clergy are allowed to leave Russia unless commissioned by the Synod. If the Patriarch Tikhon attempted to send delegates abroad they would immediately he Hung into prison.

Free speech in Russia regarding the Church is choked by the stone vaults of the prison."
