According to a Cheka-OGPU and ARBITR source, all the organizational work for the arrival of Patriarch Theophilus to Russia was carried out by Elena Mileskaya (wife of the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Alexander Korenkov). She fully catered for his stay, flight and comfort. Now Mileskaya's buildings restore important objects located in the orbit of Theophilus, and she also takes part in the delivery of the Holy Fire.
Theophilos arrived in Moscow a few days before the official events to undergo a short quarantine. Then Theophilus met with Patriarch Kirill, visited residences and several monasteries. The meetings were attended by Mileskia's partner and protégé, Metropolitan Anthony, head of the department for external church relations. He took this position in place of Metropolitan Hilarion, who left with a great scandal. Anthony works closely with Milskaya, promotes her communication with a number of foreign church leaders, and not so long ago gave Milskaya an order.
