Ardov clan

Writer-humorist, screenwriter, cartoonist Viktor Ardov - Zhidovin

Viktor Efimovich Zigberman (writing under the pseudonym Viktor Ardov) was born in 1900 in Voronezh, in the Russian Empire. In some sources, the real name of Radov is given incorrectly - Zilberman. That's right - Sigberman. By nationality, Viktor Efimovich Zigberman is a Jew. Father - a railway engineer, a graduate of the Kharkov Institute of Technology - Zhidovin Efim Moiseevich Zigberman. In those years - a member of the economic board of the Voronezh Jewish community.

The city of Voronezh was outside the "Pale of Settlement", but gradually the dexterous Jews penetrated there, and greatly multiplied and strengthened. For example, the famous Zhidovin in Voronezh, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Goldshtein, ended up here already around 1840. At first a printing worker, then he converted to Orthodoxy, was assigned to shop artisans, at the end of 1850 a Jew became a merchant of the 2nd guild, then he opened “lithography and metallography”, and already in May 1859 he founded the first private printing house in the city. Goldstein was the publisher of the first private newspaper in the province, the Voronezh Leaflet, and then published the Voronezh Reference Sheet. Since 1869, this Jew became the publisher of the Voronezh Telegraph newspaper, the largest and most respectable newspaper in the city, which was published until June 1918. He successfully zombified the Russian population of the province, especially the upper class. There were pogroms in 1905, but they were small in Voronezh. In Voronezh, Jewish merchants, Jewish bankers, Jewish doctors, Jewish engineers, Jewish officials multiplied... The ancestors of the children's Jewish writer Marshak and the Soviet Jewish writer Baklanov lived here... When the Cadet Party appeared, the Jews rushed there as well. Yefim Zigberman, a Jew, also became a member of the Cadet Party...

The actress, "TV star" Anna Ardova recalls:
- My grandfather Viktor Ardov had German Jews on the one hand, and Sephardic Jews on the other. (Sephardim is a sub-ethnic community of Jews, formed in Spain). By the way, my grandfather's real name is Sigberman. That is, I, in theory, was supposed to become Anna Borisovna Zigberman. Sounds nice. But since in Soviet times it was not very welcome to be a Jew or to have a Jewish surname, the grandfather writer first decided to become Sephardic, and then the first three letters disappeared by themselves and Ardov turned out ...

From the memoirs of a former employee of the magazine "Crocodile" Ernst Edel:

Who are you, Viktor Ardov?

Drunk A. Tvardovsky saw Viktor Ardov in the House of Writers: “I don’t like your last name for some reason ...” Ardov immediately gave the answer: “This is because it is the middle of yours!” Probably, the author of “Terkin” meant that “Ardov” is a pseudonym. Does Ardov seem to have forgotten his real name, Jewish? In general, he was known as an ideological assimilant, believing that Jewish names and surnames are unpleasant to the Russian ear. According to this logic, all the nationals (national people) of the USSR should become Ivanovs and Petrovs? I did not agree with this. But writers and other Jewish figures, hiding behind Russian pseudonyms, remained, as it were, in the eternal underground, under nicknames like criminals.
(Ernst Edel. Intelligent tales from Edel. Archive, No. 10 (22), October 2002).
http://www.florida-rus.com/archive-text/10-02edel.htm

Maybe Ardov was an “assimilant”, maybe he was embarrassed by the name Zigberman, maybe he changed his last name in the interests of a career ... Ardov preferred to keep quiet on this topic.

Voronezh is a good city, but Moscow is better. The Jews Zigbermans are resettled at the beginning of the war in Moscow. In 1918 Viktor Zigberman graduated from the First Men's Gymnasium in Moscow.

His son Mikhail Ardov wrote in his memoirs: “By the time of the revolution, at the age of seventeen, Viktor Ardov was already an established person and quite consciously shared the program of the Cadet Party. I remember a funny episode that took place in the early sixties. A certain artist, whom his father had somehow favored, came to Ordynka and expressed his gratitude in the following words:
“Thank you, Viktor, for helping me out… You are a true Bolshevik-Leninist… since 1920.” In 1947-1951. Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.
- You are fool! Ardov answered him. - What kind of Leninist am I to you? I've been a liberal all my life! I am a supporter of bourgeois democracy…”
Of course, he didn't openly say that at the time.

Mikhail Ardov:“In the nineteenth and twentieth years, he happened to serve in some Soviet institutions, but he had a desire to study at the institute. However, there was an obstacle to entering a Soviet university, namely, the origin "from employees" or even "from the middle class". At that time, a workers' faculty already existed, and the institutes recruited mainly "proletarians" and "peasants".
But then Ardov was helped by patronage: one of his aunts was married to a Marxist historian, later academician V.P. Volgin ... "

This is not true. Mikhail Ardov is lying. Proletarian and peasant origin then, of course, meant when entering institutes. But the Jewish origin also meant a lot. After all, most of the Jews who filled the institutions, as well as the governing bodies, were not of proletarian and peasant origin. But, of course, it mattered if Viktor Ardov's father, Yefim Zigberman, was an owner and rich man, and even a cadet, before the October Revolution.

In 1925, Viktor Ardov graduated from the economic department of the Plekhanov Institute of National Economy in Moscow. But if you believe the words of his son Mikhail, he did not receive a diploma. The fact is that the Komsomol committee demanded that he, as the son of wealthy relatives, donate some money for general needs. Ardov refused, then he was threatened that he would not receive a graduation diploma.
“You can wipe yourself with my diploma!” - Ardov told them and left the institute building forever.

He didn't really need a degree. Zhidovin Viktor Ardov was not going to work as an economist. It's good to be an economist, but it's better to be a "Russian writer".
When he was studying, he already worked as an actor and entertainer in the cabaret "Nesydai". Since 1921, he began to publish his own cartoons with accompanying text in the Spectacles magazine. In order to hide his Jewish roots, he already spoke under the name of Ardov. Then he began to illustrate his own humorous collections. He was regularly published in the humorous magazines Crocodile and Red Pepper. Together with L. V. Nikulin, he wrote the comedies Squabble and Article 114 of the Criminal Code (1926), Tarakanovshchina (1929). (Many Jewish biographers rank Nikulin among the Jews). Together with the Jew Mass, he composed the comedy "The Birthday Girl", independently composed the comedy "Small Trumps" (1937). Altov often wrote humorous monologues for pop artists (for the Jews of Khenkin, Rina Zelenaya, for the Jews, Raikin, for the Jews, Petker and others). Since 1927, the Jew Ardov was in charge of the literary part of the Leningrad Satire Theater. The name of the theatre, of course, is incorrect, there could not and never was any legal satire under the dictatorship. Therefore, the Jew Ardov cannot be ranked among the satirists. He was just a Jewish humorist.

This Jew Ardov (Zigberman) composed in Russian in the USSR - more than forty collections of humorous stories, feuilletons, theatrical sketches, essays, screenplays for the films "Bright Path" (1940) and "Happy Flight" (1949) and theoretical works on the technique of colloquial genre on the stage and in the circus. A book of memoirs "Sketches for Portraits" (1983) about Mayakovsky, Bulgakov, Akhmatova, Zoshchenko, Ilf, Petrov, Svetlov, Olesha, Koltsov, Ilyinsky, Ranevskaya and others was published posthumously. The book of this Jew called "The Great and Funny" was republished in 2005. And so far there has not been a single study on the stupefying effect of this Zombar Jew and similar Jewish comedians on the consciousness of the Russian people.

Viktor Ardov (Zigberman) died in 1976. The coffin with his physical body was buried at the Transfiguration Cemetery (Moscow). A photograph of the grave monument is given on the Jewish Memorial website.

Wives, children, grandchildren.

The first wife of Ardov (Zigberman) was Irina Konstantinovna Ivanova. The second wife was in 1933 the already famous actress Nina Antonovna Olshevskaya. By nationality - half-Polish. Her five-year-old son Alexei Batalov (future artist) became Ardov's stepson. A little later, the successors of the Ardov family were also born. In 1937, the future writer-memoirist and priest Mikhail Viktorovich Ardov was born, and in 1940, the actor and director-animator Boris Viktorovich Ardov. The granddaughter of Viktor Ardov, actress Anna Borisovna Ardova, will also become famous. The great-grandchildren, actors Anton Shavrin and Sonya Ardova, will also become a little famous.

Wives and children

Zhidovin Boris Ardov was married four times and had seven children. The first wife is Mira Ardova (nee Kiseleva), an actress of the Youth Theater (then she is the wife of actor Igor Starygin, then she is the wife of the theater director Lev Davydovich Vaisman). From the first marriage, two children - designer Nina Ardova and actress Anna Ardova.
When Boris Ardov was married to Mira, he met Lyudmila Dmitrieva, a student at the Textile Institute, who dreamed of becoming an actress. Ardov began to prepare her for a theater school and at the same time began to mate with her. And his wife at that time began to meet with the theater and film actor Igor Starygin. The actress Lyudmila Dmitrieva later admitted publicly that she had several abortions from Ardov. He injected his seed into her body without thinking about the consequences. When she was in her third year at the Moscow Art Theater, she became pregnant again, but decided to give birth. Daughter Maria was born. Lyudmila Dmitrieva knew that Boris Ardov was very lustful, he had many ladies, he liked to copulate with different ladies ... “And one day she returned home and found her husband, in the company of several ladies at once. She could not restrain herself and shouted: “Prostitutes, get out of here!” However, for the time being, Borya respected and loved me. And then for a long time he could not choose between me and the animator Olga, the daughter of the famous cameraman (Jewish) Eduard Rozovsky, who shot The White Sun of the Desert and The Three Musketeers. I sobbed, and my mother-in-law reassured me: "Don't cry, you - stay, and he - let him go." She divorced when Masha was 6 years old. With (Jewish) Rozovskaya, who now lives in America, he had a daughter. After parting, Ardov married for the fourth time and had three more daughters. His last wife is no longer alive, as is Bori himself, who died in 2004 from cirrhosis of the liver. Both were killed by alcohol, their girls were left orphans and live with their grandmother.”

Writer of memoirs and priest Mikhail Ardov -
son of the Jew Viktor Ardov (Zigberman)

Mikhail Ardov was born in 1937 in Moscow. By nationality - Zhidovin. He is the son of a Jewish writer-humorist Viktor Ardov (Zigberman). Mother - actress Olga Olshanskaya (according to the memoirs of Mikhail Ardov - she has Polish roots). “My mother, Nina Antonovna Olshevskaya, was born in Vladimir on July 31/August 13, 1908. Her father, Anton Alexandrovich, was the son of the chief forester of the Vladimir province. And the wife of this great-grandfather of mine was a Polish aristocrat - nee Countess Poniatowska.
http://modernlib.ru/books/ardov_mihail/vokrug_ordinki/read/

In 1960 he graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. But being a Soviet propagandist-journalist did not appeal to me. But it’s not given to write satire, and it’s scary, I also didn’t dare to write novels and stories, I also didn’t dare to become a professional humorist, to make the goyim laugh, because they will be compared with the then famous comedian father ... Obediently and quite standardly and in a mask to live in the USSR " very tired." And in 1964 Mikhail Ardov was first baptized. Then, from 1967, he was already a subdeacon in the Church of All Who Sorrow on Ordynka. In 1980 he was ordained a deacon in Yaroslavl in the church in the name of St. Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow. On Easter 1980 he was ordained a priest by Metropolitan John (Wendland). He served in rural parishes of the Yaroslavl and Moscow dioceses.

And in the summer of 1993, the Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov left the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate and moved to the Russian Church Abroad. He became a clergyman of the Suzdal diocese, which was then headed by Valentin Rusantsov. Together with Rusantsov, he went into a split. Since 1995, Mikhail Ardov has been a cleric of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, administratively and canonically independent of ROCOR. In 1998 this church was renamed the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church.

And it is clear that he did not become a hieromonk out of higher considerations. There is nothing interesting about Faith, about God, about the Highest Meaning of Life in his writings and speeches. He left as a hieromonk not only because he was “very tired”. Some biographers noted that "going into religion meant in those years one of the forms of protest against Soviet power and Soviet reality." And he himself admitted: “And then, I did not immediately understand this reason: coming to church was an internal emigration. We dropped out of Soviet life. We are outcasts. Those were the two reasons."
http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

And even more so, it was no longer dangerous to walk with a beard and in a cassock. Even serving in the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church was no longer dangerous.
The Jewish poet Joseph Brodsky reacted correctly to the new image of Mikhail Ardov when they met in 1995 in New York. Seeing an old friend in a cassock, he said:
- What a masquerade!
http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

Long before that, back in the mid-60s, in Moscow, answering the question of the newly converted Ardov whether he was thinking of being baptized, Brodsky said in English:
- I am Jew. (I am Jewish).
http://sta-sta.ru/?p=15251

Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov, of course, began to stupidly yelp at the Russian Orthodox Church.
“The Moscow Patriarchate, the Russian Orthodox Church, to a large extent fulfills what the propaganda department of the Central Committee of the CPSU did in Soviet times. This also includes the desire to introduce the Law of God in secondary schools. It seems to me that this decision is not only not very correct, but, I would say, not very smart either. Because the tragedy that occurred in the Russian Empire was largely predetermined by the fact that Peter I turned the Orthodox Church into a spiritual department and an appendage of the state. And by the way, the Law of God was taught in all educational institutions. How it ended in the 17th year, we know ... ".

The poor fellow didn't even understand that the point is that the Christian Religion has come into conflict with Big Science in all countries. It is indeed too late to teach the Law of God, but a brief history of the main religions must, of course, be taught. Every Russian student should know the basics of paganism, Orthodoxy, Islam and Buddhism. Yes, and about Judaism, the Torah and the Talmud should know a little. The Russian-Jewish question should know a little.

In the 1990s, the Izvestia newspaper published his article against the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. Zhidovin Ardov vowed never to enter this temple. Yes, don't go. At least go to the synagogue. Mikhail Ardov publicly spoke out against the Olympic Games and any sporting events. Christians are not even allowed to engage in physical education and sports. Physical education and sports are “caring for the flesh”, and the supreme apostle Paul warned us against this (Romans 13:14). He spoke out against the imprisonment of girls who were half-naked jumping in a Christian church ...

On September 22, 2006, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, Deputy Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate (DECR MP), "attacked" Mikhail Ardov live on the air of the Author's Television (ATV) program Novoye Vremechko. The incident was covered in some media. Chaplin called priest Mikhail Ardov a "schismatic". Chaplin urged clergy and laity to refuse joint participation in television and radio programs with Mikhail Ardov, a cleric of a schismatic group based in Suzdal. Chaplin noted that in the journalistic environment the ROAC was given the title of "sect of pedophiles." This sect is famous for its scandals with homosexual priests and pedophile priests.

Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov wrote a dozen books in Russian for Russian goyim: “Little things archi..., proto... and simply priestly life”, “Return to Ordynka. Memoirs, journalism”, “Around Ordynka”, “Legendary Ordynka. Portraits”, “Monograph about the graphomaniac. Memoirs”, “Notes of a Cemetery Priest”, etc. But he was not satisfied.

Mikhail Ardov: "I have an unfortunate fate ... the clergy consider me a writer, and writers - a clergyman, moreover, both of them do not show me the slightest respect."
(Mikhail Ardov. Monograph about the graphomaniac. - M. 2004, p. 528).

Rusantsov declared himself in 1995 head of the Russian Orthodox Free Church. He managed, with the support of local authorities, to seize 19 churches in the city of Suzdal, where the center of this schism is located. On February 19, 1997, the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church was defrocked. On March 15, 2001, by decision of the Synod of Bishops of the ROAC, Rusantsov was elevated to the rank of metropolitan, recognized as the First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church. He is the Metropolitan of Suzdal and Vladimir, he died in 2012. And this church has no prospects. And no prospects for the Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov. Mikhail Ardov is little known as a priest or religious preacher of the Russian Free Church. He is a boring and timid pop.

And, of course, the pop-Jewish Mikhail Ardov stubbornly avoids in his memoirs and media appearances the important topic of pederasts and pedophiles in cassocks ... He never spoke in favor of introducing a law in Russia banning pederasty in Russia and increasing the terms of punishment for pedophilia. And, of course, he never spoke on the topic of the danger of the expansion of the Jews into the Christian Church ... He did not say a word in his memoirs about the First Big Leap of the Jews into power, into the cinema, onto the stage, into publishing houses, and then into the TV box ... But you should have known well that the Soviet stage was overflowing with Jews, and even now there are a lot of Jews on the stage ...

He scolds Stalin on Radio Liberty, who “first annexed the Donbass to the Poltava region and Kiev, and then two more pieces of Poland and one piece of Austria-Hungary. Such a state cannot exist. Stalin, as Gorbachev once said, mined the whole country! In Georgia, who invented the Abkhazian autonomy? Who cut Ossetia into two parts? Who gave Karabakh to the Azerbaijanis? He did the same in Central Asia. Who gave the Yaik Cossacks to Kazakhstan? I have been to Samarkand twice. This is a wonderful city inhabited by Tajiks, which belongs to Uzbekistan. He mined the whole country. It was not the Democrats who destroyed the Union, but the Communists who destroyed the Russian Empire. And this expression "Russian world" is a new invention. There was no Russian world in Russia. There was the Russian Empire. There was no nationality. There was only religion…”
http://www.svoboda.org/content/transcript/26842631.html

Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov hides that the reduction of the Russian Empire, the collapse of the Russian Empire and the stupid stitching together of pieces into a “Soviet blanket” - in the USSR began under Lenin and Trotsky, under the dictatorship of six Jewish dictators, and not under Stalin. Stalin then completed and reworked Lenin's work. Zhidovin Mikhail Ardov is not able to consider the historical process also in the national aspect. It is the pop-Jews who do not see or hide the Great Leap of the Jews into power after 1917. This pop-Jew does not see or does not want to see the Second Great Leap of the Jews into power after 1991. He does not see that the "democrats", and if we consider the events in the national aspect, then it was the Jews with other nationalists who ruined the country. And they even eliminated the nationality column in passports and questionnaires in order to facilitate the Second Big Leap to power. Eh, poor pop, oatmeal forehead ... or smart-ass priest ...

Actress Anna Ardova - granddaughter of the Jew Viktor Ardov (Zigberman)

The granddaughter of the Jewish Viktor Ardov, Anna Borisovna Ardova, was born in Moscow in 1969.

“Get up, Russian people!”

The whole country is watching. The elderly wife of the artist Gitana Arkadyevna and his 50-year-old disabled daughter Maria were actually locked in their own apartment. Because of a showdown with a neighbor, they cannot even go to their dacha. The artist's brother, writer and rector of the temple Mikhail Ardov, assured: things in the star family are really very difficult.

"Daughter Masha speaks with difficulty"

I visit my brother's family regularly, - shares Mikhail Ardov. - His wife does not feel well, but she tries not to complain about her problems. But things are very bad with her daughter Masha: she hardly speaks. But Masha is talented, smart, she wrote many fairy tales and poems. I know that now Gitana Arkadyevna is being helped by three women workers who cook and clean their house. Nadezhda, Alexei's eldest daughter, also comes in. They had a difficult relationship with my brother due to the fact that he and her mother somehow broke up early and not very well. Of course, this was transferred to the daughter.

Mikhail Ardov is the half-brother of Alexei Vladimirovich. They have the same mother but different fathers. But the children were brought up together. Alexei and Mikhail also had a younger brother, Boris, who died in 2004 due to cirrhosis of the liver.

It is very sad in my heart that there is neither Boris nor Alexei nearby, I was left alone, - 80-year-old Mikhail Viktorovich sighs. - When I last saw my older brother, he had a very pale face, I realized that he had a little left. But still, I still find it difficult to realize that he is not there. Alas, he was no longer young, 88 years old, had been ill for a long time. But when you start thinking about it, nostalgia immediately appears for those times when we all lived together, when our parents were alive. The last years of his life we saw each other not so often, but we always talked about those war times when we lived with our mother in evacuation in the Tatar city of Bugulma. From a young age, my brother had a variety of talents, he painted wonderful paintings that were praised by professional artists. And besides, he composed good poems, they were approved by Anna Akhmatova herself.

"His face was damaged"

When Alexey Vladimirovich became popular, he did not lose contact with his family. Although he did not like to share moments from his acting life. On the sites, Batalov had a hard time.

During the filming of the film "The Cranes Are Flying", they fought with some partner and Alexei fell right on his face on a small narrow stump, - recalls Mikhail Viktorovich. - His whole face was damaged. Thank God that my brother got to a good surgeon who cured him. I remember how at some point Alexei ceased to be in demand. But that was because he was very picky about scripts. He turned down many offers.

By the way, Mikhail Viktorovich himself did not imitate his brother in choosing a profession: he is a priest.

I became a believer quite early, - continues the archpriest. - And Christianity forbids any person to attend various spectacles. But Alexei, despite his profession, believed in God from his very youth, and by the end of his life he became a 100% church person. He had familiar priests with whom he often consulted. On the anniversary of Alexei's death, I was unable to meet with his family because of the divine service, I prayed all day for the repose of his soul.

A year spent without a brother affected the health of Mikhail Ardov. But this elderly man also takes care of his sick wife.

Recently, I began to get tired very quickly, - Alexei Batalov's brother says sadly. - But of course I fulfill my duties in the temple. My wife has big problems with her joints, complications have recently started. We don't have children. There are two women who help. One cleans the house, and the other goes shopping, buys everything you need. This is how we live.

Father Mikhail, known to the world as Mikhail Ardov, is the younger brother of Alexei Batalov. With the famous actor, they have the same mother, but different fathers. With Batalov, they were truly close people.

Mikhail Ardov: "Our connection was never interrupted, I tried to call on them."

My brother was one of the first to know. People's Artist, where he underwent rehabilitation after a hip fracture. The brother saw that the people's artist was fading away.

Mikhail Ardov: “When he last visited about three weeks ago in the hospital, he was completely inferior. And such a pale face that I have never seen such a pale face in a single person. He brightened up and smiled. He laughed when I joked, but I understood that this was not far away. ”

Until the very last day, his wife Gitan fought for the life of the actor. She believed: Alexei Batalov would return home and hug his daughter. Alexei Batalov was the main breadwinner of the family. The actor's daughter, 49-year-old Maria, is a disabled child. She has cerebral palsy. Batalov's wife, a former circus performer, devoted herself entirely to caring for her only child. And now friends are worried about who, after the death of Batalov, will take care of his family.

Natalia Drozhzhina, actress: “Masha was told immediately at seven in the morning. She only cries. You know, it's very hard for her to speak. They say: “We don’t even know how to live on.”

Batalov's brother suggests that the actor's daughter from his first marriage will help take care of Maria. Nadezhda is 62 years old, she already has her own children and grandchildren.

Contrary to rumors, the people's artist never abandoned his first wife and eldest daughter. Just explaining how it happened, did not consider it necessary.

Mikhail Ardov: "Complete lies. His first wife left him. My mother told him about it, and he sat and cried. We had a wonderful dog - dachshund Tsigel. He approached and howled, sympathized. I can't forget this scene.

A family friend confirms: the eldest and youngest daughters of Alexei Batalov were friends and met at the holidays.

Natalia Drozhzhina: “Every year Masha loved to celebrate her birthday at the House of Writers. And she always invited Nadia. Nadia came with flowers, with gifts. I saw how Alexei Vladimirovich hugged and kissed her.

It will take place on June 19, the people's artist will be buried at the Preobrazhensky cemetery. The People's Artist was 88 years old.

We continue to cite some materials of clerics from the "wrong" Orthodoxy. To increase the understanding of why they deviated into a split and what they are talking about. Replica of Mikhail Viktorovich Ardov (Archpriest, Rector of the Moscow Church of the Holy Royal Martyrs and New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Golovinsky Cemetery, Dean of the Moscow Deanery of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, ROAC).
The ROAC is notable for the fact that, without the help of the state, it restored from ruins and professionally restored a large number of historical churches in Russia. Which subsequently were cynically selected from the ROAC in favor of the ROC MP. Like other religious property, relics, etc.

Mikhail Viktorovich Ardov (born October 21, 1937, Moscow, USSR) is a Russian writer, publicist and memoirist; cleric of the non-canonical Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, archpriest; pastor of the Moscow church of St. Royal Martyrs and New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Golovinsky Cemetery, Dean of the Moscow Deanery of the ROAC; until 1993 he was a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church, served in the Yaroslavl and Moscow dioceses.
The son of the writer Viktor Ardov (real name Zigberman) and actress Nina Olshevskaya, brother of Boris Ardov and half-brother of Alexei Batalov. In 1960 he graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. He was a professional writer.
In 1964 he was baptized. Since 1967, he has been a subdeacon in the Church of All Who Sorrow on Ordynka. In 1980, on Palm Sunday, he was ordained a deacon in Yaroslavl in the church in the name of St. Innokenty, Metropolitan of Moscow. On Easter 1980 he was ordained a priest by Metropolitan John (Wendland); served in rural parishes of the Yaroslavl and Moscow dioceses.
In the summer of 1993, he left the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate and moved to the Russian Church Abroad, becoming a clergyman of the Suzdal diocese headed by Valentin (Rusantsov). Together with Valentin (Rusantsov), he went into schism, and since 1995 he has been a clergyman of the Russian Orthodox Free Church, administratively and canonically independent of ROCOR (in 1998 it was renamed the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church).

Rector of the Church of the New Martyrs of Russia at the Golovinsky Cemetery in Moscow (ROAC), Archpriest MIKHAIL ARDOV: “The initiators of the “unification” of ROCOR with the Patriarchate were simply waiting for the death of three bishops…” Interviewed by Vladimir Oivin to Portal-Credo.Ru on May 17, 2017.

“Portal-Credo.Ru": It has been 10 years since the Moscow Patriarchate took over a significant part of the Russian Church Abroad. How do you personally and your Church perceive this event?

Archpriest Mikhail Ardov: The fact that the bishops of our Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, under the leadership of not just anyone, but the great hierarch Bishop Gregory (Grabbe), have departed from the Church Abroad is a remarkable event. Therefore, when they say "shards of the Church Abroad", then our jurisdiction does not apply to them: the ROAC is not a "splinter" at all. According to the testament of the holy Patriarch Tikhon, our bishops, headed by the elder in consecration, formed their own jurisdiction on Russian soil. And I know that none of our conscientious priests, not to mention the bishops, has ever regretted this.. It was the right timely decision, because it was clear where the Synod Abroad was heading.

My theory is this. The initiators of the "unification" of ROCOR with the Patriarchate simply waited for the death of three bishops who bore the same name - Anthony of Geneva, Anthony of Los Angeles and Anthony of San Francisco. They would never agree to amalgamation. But as soon as they died, they immediately threw out Metropolitan Vitaly, who was not seven spans in his forehead, and began his reign by removing Vladyka Gregory (Grabbe) to rest, and removing his son from the Holy Land on false charges. Then everything went like clockwork.

To our bishops, especially to Bishop Gregory (Grabbe), this was already clear then. Vladyka's son-in-law, my late friend Fr. Vladimir Shishkov recalled such a scene. In their house in New Jersey, Vladyka Gregory was sitting in his usual place in an armchair and suddenly uttered the following phrase: “Well, that’s it, I put an end to the Synod Abroad.”

- And what has changed in church life over these 10 years?

Well, a lot... We went through persecution in the first place. They took away the restored churches from our Metropolitan Valentine, poured mud on us, tried to judge, took away the relics. But still we exist and God willing, the Lord will bear with us.

- So, the era of persecution is over?

It seems to me that, having taken everything they can from Suzdal and other places, the patriarchate is paying almost no attention to us. They have other problems: Ukraine, St. Isaac's Cathedral and so on.
Our country still lives according to the Leninist law, which declares all ancient buildings, including churches, the property of the state.

The famous Boris from "The Cranes Are Flying" and Gosh from the film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" was a unique actor and a very reserved person, he did not want to talk about personal things.

For the first time, the brother of Alexei Batalov revealed the details of the artist's private life.

Mikhail Ardov: “Our connection was never interrupted, I tried to call on them.”

The brother was one of the first to know about the death of Alexei Batalov. The People's Artist died in his sleep in a sanatorium where he was undergoing rehabilitation after a hip fracture. The brother saw that the people's artist was fading away.

Mikhail Ardov: “When I last visited three weeks ago in the hospital, he was completely inferior. And such a pale face that I have never seen such a pale face in a single person. He brightened up and smiled. He laughed when I joked, but I understood that this was not far away. ”
