An excerpt characterizing Serdyukov, Andrey Nikolaevich
- Well, of course, Isidora, because this was their home! And it was there that Magdalene returned. But it would be wrong to give credit only to the gifted. After all, even simple peasants learned reading and writing from the Cathars. Many of them knew the poets by heart, no matter how crazy it may sound to you now. It was a real Dreamland. The Land of Light, Knowledge and Faith, created by Magdalene. And this Faith spread surprisingly quickly, attracting thousands of new “Cathars” into its ranks, who were just as ardently ready to defend the Knowledge they gave as the Golden Mary who gave it... The teaching of Magdalene swept through the countries like a hurricane, leaving no one aside. one thinking person. Aristocrats and scientists, artists and shepherds, farmers and kings joined the ranks of the Cathars. Those who had easily gave their wealth and lands to the Qatari “church”, so that its great power would be strengthened, and so that the Light of its Soul would spread throughout the entire Earth.– Sorry to interrupt, Sever, but did the Cathars also have their own church?.. Was their teaching also a religion?
– The concept of “church” is very diverse, Isidora. This was not the church as we understand it. The Cathar Church was Magdalene herself and her Spiritual Temple. That is, the Temple of Light and Knowledge, like the Temple of Radomir, the knights of which at first were the Templars (King of Jerusalem Baldwin II called the Knights of the Temple Templars. Temple - in French - Temple.) They did not have a specific building in which people would come to pray . The Cathar Church was in their soul. But it still had its own apostles (or, as they were called, the Perfect Ones), the first of which, of course, was Magdalene. Perfect were the people who reached the highest levels of Knowledge and devoted themselves to absolute service to it. They continuously improved their Spirit, almost giving up physical food and physical love. The Perfect served people, teaching them their knowledge, treating those in need and protecting their charges from tenacious and dangerous paws catholic church. They were amazing and selfless people, ready to the last to defend their Knowledge and Faith, and Magdalene, who gave it to them. It is a pity that there are almost no Cathar diaries left. All that we have left are the records of Radomir and Magdalene, but they do not give us the exact events of the last tragic days of the courageous and bright Qatari people, since these events took place two hundred years after the death of Jesus and Magdalene.
– Tell me, Sever, how did Golden Maria die? Who had such a black spirit to raise his dirty hand against this wonderful woman?..
– Church, Isidora... Unfortunately, still the same church!.. She became furious, seeing in the face of the Cathars the most dangerous enemy, who gradually and very confidently occupied her “holy” place. And realizing her imminent collapse, she no longer calmed down, trying in any way to destroy Magdalene, rightly considering her the main culprit of the “criminal” teaching and hoping that without their Guiding Star the Cathars would disappear, having neither a leader nor a Faith. The Church did not understand how strong and deep the Teaching and Knowledge of the Cathars was. That it was not a blind “faith”, but a way of their life, the essence of WHY they lived. And therefore, no matter how hard the “holy” fathers tried to win over the Cathars, in the Pure Land of Occitania there was not even an inch of land for the deceitful and criminal Christian church...
– It turns out that it wasn’t only Karaffa who did this?!.. Has this really always been the case, Sever?..
I was seized with real horror when I imagined all global picture betrayals, lies and murders that the “holy” and “all-forgiving” Christian faith committed, trying to survive!..
- How is this possible?! How could you watch and not interfere? How could you live with this without going crazy, North?!!
He did not answer, knowing well that this was just a “cry from the soul” of an indignant person. And I knew his answer very well... Therefore, we were silent for some time, like lonely souls lost in the dark...
– So how did Golden Maria die? Can you tell me about this? – Unable to withstand the prolonged pause, I asked again.
North nodded sadly, showing that he understood...
– After the teaching of Magdalene occupied most of the then Europe, Pope Urban II decided that further delay would be like death for his beloved “most holy” church. Having thoroughly thought through his diabolical plan, he, without delay, sent two faithful “fosterlings” of Rome to Occitania, whom Magdalene knew as “friends” of the Cathars. And again, as happened too often, wonderful, bright people became victims of their purity and honor... Magdalene accepted them into her friendly arms, generously providing them with food and shelter. And although her bitter fate taught her not to be a very trusting person, it was impossible to suspect anyone, otherwise her life and her Teaching would have lost all meaning. She still believed in GOOD, no matter what...
And then I saw them again... At the exit of the cave stood Magdalena and her golden-haired daughter, who at that moment was already 11-12 years old. They stood hugging each other, still alike and beautiful, and watched the last breathtaking moment of the amazing Occitan sunset. The cave at the entrance to which they stood was located very high in the mountains, opening directly onto a steep cliff. And in the distance, as far as the eye could see, shrouded in the haze of the evening fog, the mountains shone majestically blue. Proudly frozen, like giant monuments to eternity and nature, they remembered the wisdom and courage of Man... But not the one who lived now, killing and betraying, ruling and destroying. And they remembered a strong and creative Man, loving and proud, who created a wonderful kingdom of Mind and Light on this small but beautiful piece of Earth...
Right in front of Magdalene, at the very top of a man-made hill, stood her favorite castle - the Montsegur fortress... For more than eight long years, this friendly and impregnable fortress was her real home... The home of her beloved daughter, the refuge of her friends and the Temple of her love. Montsegur housed her memories - the most cherished relics of her life, her teachings and her family. All her Perfects gathered there to purify their Souls and gain Life-Giving Power. There she spent her most precious hours, the most tranquil from the bustle of the world...

The driver of the company minibus was sober; he received minor injuries in the accident. The issue of initiating a criminal case is being decided. The Ministry of Defense neither confirmed nor denied the information about the accident.
The commander-in-chief and his deputy arrived on the Kola Peninsula to check the conditions of service of the personnel of the units stationed here. The car that transported the generals belongs to the Northern Fleet support center.
