Арест и ссылка

The popularity of Bishop Hilarion among the people grew, but as popular love grew, so did the hatred of the Soviet authorities, who could do nothing except stop the bishop’s activities with imprisonment, accusing him of helping the patriarch and participating in disputes through which the government was allegedly discredited. The accusation is ridiculous, but sufficient for the arrest of Bishop Hilarion, carried out on March 22, 1922, and for a year-long exile to Arkhangelsk. The bishop himself “in the questionnaire of the Political Red Cross about the reason for the arrest” answered, “that, according to his assumption, this is isolation during the confiscation of church property” 330. On June 22, 1922, he was sentenced by the GPU board to exile in “Arkhangelsk province. for a period of 1 year until June 7, 1923." 331 Bishop Hilarion’s sister, Olga Alekseevna, who lived in these years not far from the Sretensky Monastery, through the Moscow Committee of the Red Cross petitioned at the end of May for the opportunity to give her brother several books on church history (Golubinsky and Bolotov), ​​and at the end of June - for his release “for 5 days for personal affairs and preparation for departure” 332. On July 4, Bishop Hilarion arrives with a convoy of prisoners in Arkhangelsk, and on July 10 he takes up residence in a private house almost in the center of Arkhangelsk. John (Ludishchev), priest.
