Mosaic workshop of the Moscow International Foundation for UNESCO of the Russian Academy of Arts under the guidance of Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts and member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Arts Nikolai Mukhin. Neither the decision of the jury, nor any official statement of the Russian Academy of Arts says that the "author's" work of Nikolai Mukhin was actually completely stolen from the mosaic "Ascension of the Lord" in the Cathedral of San Marco in Venice (see photo): https://rublev- museum.livejournal.com/486089.html To my shame, jury member Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Arts Irina Buseva-Davydova, Chief Researcher at the Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts,

could not figure out the monstrous plagiarism and publicly declared: “in the dome of the temple of St. Sava is placed the traditional composition of the Ascension of the Lord with the Savior in His heavenly glory and the Mother of God, archangels and apostles standing before Him. Based on the study of Byzantine, Old Russian and Balkan medieval traditions, Nikolai Mukhin managed to create a new solution to the plot "The Ascension of the Lord", which, due to the originality of the composition , has no analogues in Orthodox church art ": https://expertmus.livejournal.com/179161.html

The chief artist of the Vatican, Fr. Marco Rupnik, born in 1954, who heads the Aletti Center for Education and Research (Centro Aletti) at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome and is the head of the Aletti Center's ecclesiastical art workshop. In the official photo of 2014, Fr. Marko Rupnik, who is now accused of serial sexual assault, posing together with the chairman of the jury, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev), the head of the DECR, next to whom the author of the plagiarism is Nikolai Mukhin, academician of the Russian Academy of Arts and member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Arts, head of the mosaic workshop of the Moscow International Foundation for UNESCO Assistance of the Russian Academy of Arts, and a member of the jury - chief researcher at the Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts Irina Buseva-Davydova (see photo). Established in 1991 at the personal request of Pope John Paul II, the Aletti Center promotes theological and cultural dialogue between the Western and Eastern Churches. The Aletti Center gained international fame in 1999, when a mosaic created according to the author's program of prof. Oleg Germanovich Ulyanov:

This innovative mosaic was a spiritual testament to contemporary art and, 25 years later, has become highly regarded throughout the world as the " new Sistine Chapel of the 21st century ": https://www.prlib. ru/news/1840545

Entrepreneurial about. Marco Rupnik, having appropriated all copyrights, acquired the status of "the main artist of the Vatican" and began to replicate someone else's composition around the world . Anyone can personally verify this by comparing the photo of the Vatican mosaic "Heavenly Jerusalem" and Rupnik's plagiarism (see photo). Over the past quarter century, the artistic workshop of the Aletti Center under the direction of Marko Rupnik, who until 1996 did not even work on mosaics, apart from those of the Redemptoris Mater Chapel

in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican (1999), numerous mosaic compositions were created in churches and chapels around the world, including the chapels of the Pontifical Faculty of Pedagogical Sciences Auxilium ( Rome , 2003), the chapels of the Sisters of the Adorates of the Holy Sacrament (Lenno, Lake Como, 2007 ), Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima (Portugal, 2007), Sanctuary of Padre Pio (San Giovanni Rotondo, 2009), Chapel of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd (Rome, 2011), Chapel of the Congregation of the Sisters of Adorates of the Holy Blood of Christ (Rome, 2012), Sanctuary of Saint John Paul II (Krakow, 2013-2016), the Church of the Virgin Mary of the Rosary and the Martyrs of Portuenza (Rome, 2015), the Sanctuary of the Madonna Ta' Pinu (Gozo island, Malta, 2015-2017), etc.

The Rupnik scandal erupted in late 2022, when three Italian media outlets - Silere non Possum, Left.it and Messa in Latino - began publishing testimonies from women in the Jesuit community who made numerous accusations of spiritual, psychological and sexual abuse by Fr. Marco Rupnik. One of the nuns confessed that about 30 years ago, the priest put "psycho-spiritual" control over her in order to have sex, including group sex, and also forced her to watch porn. According to her stories, Rupnik courted her, forced her to enter into an intimate relationship and keep quiet about it. One day he invited another nun to bed with them, declaring that in this way they would reproduce the relationship between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit! Rupnik blasphemously called this group action " Holy Trinity".

The woman admitted that she had long complained about Rupnik immediately after the abuse, but all her complaints were ignored. The higher cardinals also covered him. Meanwhile, according to the nun, the priest abused another 20 women.

Allegations that Rupnik could have been covered up in the Church are already partially confirmed. Pope Francis was forced to intervene in the case, who asked other victims of the depraved priest to also testify against him.

The Jesuits initially responded with a statement on December 2, 2022 confirming that the complaint had been received in 2021, but said that the Vatican Office of Sexual Assault had then determined that the allegations of violence dating back to the 1990s were too old, so that they can be investigated in court.

The statement raised more questions than it answered and completely overlooked the fact, first reported by Messa and later confirmed by The Associated Press, that Rupnik was convicted and sanctioned by the Vatican in the immediate aftermath of a 2019 complaint that he was confession absolved the sins of a woman who repented of having sexual intercourse with him . The so-called absolution of an accomplice is one of the most serious crimes in ecclesiastical canon law and entails automatic excommunication of the priest from the Church, which can only be lifted if he confesses to the crime and repents, which Rupnik did not do.

The office now called the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith is headed by a Jesuit, has a Jesuit Prosecutor for Sexual Offenses, and its second number is a clergyman who lived in the Jesuit community of Rupnik in Rome… So it is not surprising that such the odious subject was involved in the secret games of the Russian Academy of Arts (RAH). Suffice it to recall the secret registration of the “honorary membership in the Russian Academy of Arts” of the mistress b. Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov Yevgenia Vasilyeva, who was inspired by criminal Mikhail Mindlin (Article 159 part 4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), "member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Arts": https://rublev-museum.livejournal.com/486620.html

The personal friend of the swindler M.B. Mindlin (see photo), Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Arts Vasily Tsereteli (grandson of Zurab Konstantinovich Tsereteli), who runs the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, even arranged an exhibition of Evgenia Vasilyeva in the museum premises of the Russian Academy of Arts on Gogol Boulevard.

The chief scientific secretary of the Russian Academy of Arts, Oleg Koshkin, under pressure from the media, began to deny that he allegedly did not know who made the decision to award Evgenia Vasilyeva the title of honorary member of the academy. According to him, it is undesirable to assign such titles to a person with a criminal record , and this is " the first case in the history of the Russian Academy of Arts." Excuse me, but what about Mikhail Mindlin, a member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Arts, convicted of fraud as part of an organized criminal group: https://rublev-museum.livejournal.com/486620.html

Chief Scientific Secretary of the Russian Academy of Arts Oleg Koshkin publicly admitted that he did not sign the decision to award Vasilyeva the title of honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts, although according to the Charter of the Russian Academy of Arts, the document must be signed by the President of the Academy and the Chief Scientific Secretary: https://dailystorm.ru/news/v- rossiyskoy-akademii-hudozhestv-udivilis-prisvoeniem-vasilevoy-zvaniya-pochetnogo-chlenaHowever, criminals Mindlin, Vasilyeva and others. they feel very comfortable as part of the Russian Academy of Arts, as they say, “in their own company”: in 2019 it was found that the leadership of the financial and economic department at the Russian Academy of Arts sublet the academy’s premises without permission, and earlier the colony sentenced the head of the capital construction department to five years RAH for embezzling money allocated for the repair of buildings ...
