Pope of Russia (2020)

"If the end is the salvation of the soul, then the end justifies the means." Following the will of his spiritual father, in Soviet times he swore allegiance to the atheists, in the 90s he welcomed money changers in the church, and in the 2000s he turned the church into an ideological department serving the authorities, and all in order to achieve the main goal - the creation of a Russian Vatican, powerful and independent of Caesar's corporation. Like Vladimir Putin, he came as a Westerner and a modernist, and will leave as a guardian and reactionary. A film about the life and ministry of the sixteenth Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, Kirill.
