Krasnitzki, the head of the Communist “Living Church” is accused of having been a member of the infamous pegromist organization, known, in the days of the Czar, as the “Black Hundred,” in a statement made by Archbishop Vedensky of the Orthodox Russian Synod.
The Archbishop also states that the present head of the “Living Church” was one of those, who during the Beylis trial in Kiev,
alleged that the Jews sacrifice Christian children as Passover offerings and use their blood for ritual purposes.
Krasnitzki has started a libel action against the Archbishop, and intends to call as witnesses in his defense Metropolitan Eudokim and Lvoff.
