That day at the Roman residence of Cardinal Marcinkus
in 70's Rome in that VIP Religious Institution were he
always use to stay , a very special guest arrived
from the USA to visit him, a Senior CIA guy who was
also to become US President and already a member of one
of the most powerfull illuminati Lodges in the world,
the Skull & Bones 322 of Yale University.

The religious Institution Im talking about belongs to
the religious Order of Nostra Signora della Mercede
(a female version of the Jesuits) in via Tagliamento in
Rome, and the Cardinal in charge of the Vatican State
politics at that time was Cardinal dell'Aqua.

The reason was a seemingly innocent trip with
Marcinkus to Tarquinia (near Rome) , but the place was
not so innocent after all as they were going to visit
the tomb of Orcus.

The tomb of Orcus in Tarquinia Italy ( a cult place
for Yale Skull and Bones illuminati) was first
constructed in the mid 4th Century BCE and
subsequently enlarged. Its subjects reflect the
increasing gloom that was becoming characteristic of
Etruscan art during the centuries of their gradual
defeat at the hands of the Romans, Celts, Greeks and
Punics. This is in marked contrast to the mood of
relaxed confidence of the earlier tombs. The bearded
Aita, or Hades is the main god of the underworld. The
other figure in the tomb is that of Velia, a noble
Etruscan woman. She stares into the darkness with a
sombre yet disdainful look, almost sneering at death.
She is richly attired in elaborately worked earrings
and necklaces. The very realistic depiction of the
eye, shown from the side rather than frontally as in
the earlier period, is a clear indication of the
Hellenistic influence and reflects the artist's
knowledge of late 4th Century BCE Greek models.

But its well known fact for Brothers of the illuminati
elite circles that the Ancient cult of Orcus is a
demonic and evil cult dedicated to the sacrifice of
children and other diabolical practices. But today
nobody seems to mind if their President or the Head of
the CIA, joins such a perverse and satanic cult within
the Order of Death , all this in a presigious place like Yale University.

Thats because our society of TV slaves is been manipulated at
every level by dangerous satanic intelligence units
working for the illuminati in Mind Control activities,
to confuse us, and make out of us a bunch of satanist with no believe.
And even the sacrifice of children seems to be acceptable in this age of corrupt views,
perversions and decadence,as long as is kept out of the eyes of the public all this evil
seems ok for these infedels of the so called elite.

All this is secretely promoted by the Vatican in
Lodges like the Skull and Bones and many other sick
places around the world, were these practices are done
with Pope's blessings by many degenerate individuals
hoping to gain power with their evil Jinn...including the Zionist
who support all this with their gold and money.

Do we have any hope in the new millenium to fight such
evil at the highest level of our Society?

The wise and those who established this America, those
who framed the Constitution were influenced by the
Quran and the Bible not by a Moloch or Orcus.

As we know the early founders of your country (USA)
were Masons. Many leaders of this society know the
great place and the real value of the Quran in the
life of man, however , they don't trust the
intelligence of the masses enough to reveal this fact.
Many good Christians would probably be heart broken
if they knew the great respect that is given to the
Quran, Prophet Muhammad and the Religion of Islam by
their leaders in secret. Many , many reverends have
taken an oath on the Quran and have the Quran in their
homes because they see the real Jesus described in
this Holy book not a Vatican lie.

In their HQ's in Rome the Jesuits know very well that
the Roman Catholic version of Jesus is the wrong one
and is only creating confusion and conflict with other
religions, immagine for once if Jesus was a man
instead then God, a very special man indeed with a
unique mission for God, but still a man not a Roman
forgery built to deceive mankind in the famous Council
of Nicea.

Things will definetely change for the better and finaly
no confrontation on matters of faith will be possible
between Jews,Christian and Muslims when you are all
believing in ONE GOD and one Messiah that is not a God but a man
announcing the message of God for the benefit of humankind and †he
believe in true Islam and the recognition of Muhammad as the last and most important
Prophet of all ages.

Professor Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard a known
illuminati wrote about the United States and the
American one dollar bill illuminati connection :

" Not only were many many founders of the United
States Government Masons, but they received aid from a
secret and august body existing in Europe , which
helped them to establish this country for peculiar and
particular purpose known only to the initiated few "

Those initiated few have made a deal with the dark
powers of Imperial Rome rappresented by the Vatican
and their evil Puppet Masters the Jesuits to enslave
America take over the world and finaly start the
Satanic age of pure Nazism in the hand of Ratzinger.

In November 2003 the Academy of the catholic Church of
Wurzburg (Bavaria...were else can the illuminati
meet?) held a one-day historic seminar open to all
interested persons on the topic of "Masonry and the
Church" (obviously..) .

For the first time in twenty years , Catholic priest
and laymen meet officialy in an open and most of all
friendly very friendly discussion with a
representative of German masonry.

This important meeting saw Jesuit Father Sebott the
great masonic manipulator working togheter with
Bro.Axel Pohlmann from the United Grand Lodges of
Germany to deceive even further the Brethern in the
lower ranks of the masonic pyramid , quile bringing
forward their real plans and lay down the foundations
for their final take over of Vatican HQ's by
Vatican/illuminati friendly Freemasonry.

That was also discussed in detail at the illuminati
Conference held at the Canonbury Masonic Research
Centre on the 6th and 7th of November of the following
year (2004)called:

FREEMASONRY AND RELIGION MANY FAITHS ONE BROTHERHOOD

And I was amongst the few Brothers and Sisters who had
the possibility to participate at this very high level
Masonic Conference for the illuminati of worldwide
Freemasonry that included prestigious names like Lord
Elgin Grand Master of the Royal Order of Scotland and
cusin to the Queen of England , also John Hamill
Director of Comunications of the United Grand Lodge of
England and many foreign rappresentatives like for
example the Grand Treasurer of the Grand Orient of
Italy Fernando Ferrari.

But most of all I remember the fact that a famous
Swedish Nazi Satanist directely connected to Alberto
Moscato and the Jesuits was there, the well known
Henrik Bogdan (Ph. D) of the Dept. of Religious
Studies of Gothenburg University in Sweden , a Senior
rappresentative of Swedish Freemasonry and a devoted
disciple of Carl Abrahamsson of the Church of
Satan/OTO network.

Henrick Bogdan went with satanist Carl Abrahamsson to
Tibet in the 90's to officialy work on a book called
BARDO TIBET
by
MAX FREDRKSON
with an introduction by Carl Abrahamsson, Henrik
Bogdan and Peder Byberg

In reality these evil Nazi's went to Tibet several
times between 1996 and 2000 because they wanted to
learn more about the black Magic present in the old
shamanic religion of Bon Pa secretely practiced by
corrupt Tibetan Monks who work with evil Jinns in that
region. These Tibetan practices were very important
for old Nazi researchers of the occult who wanted to
combine them at SS HQ's with the usual Jesuit black
magic for the ultimate purpose of supreme manipulation
of this planet.

America beware you are not free anymore with these
kind of Nazi's in power at every level of your society,
they control everything "by the stick" from Vatican
HQ's as we use to say in the Monte Carlo Lodge and
everyone obeys in Washington home of the new Reich.
You can be a Republican or a Democrat it actualy
doesnt matter for the illuminati in total control of
your life and your Banks.

And remember to not go and visit Orcus at nigh my
friends you might find a couple of Skull and Bones
perverts having their Order of Death rituals , nothing
special just alot of Theatre indeed in the hands of
the Devil at present time.

And if you think ( like I unfortunately did for a period of time)that you can
trust any other people in the Vatican to fight such
evil forget it , I repeat forget it...just break those
chains with Rome and you will feel much better.

I learned only later in my life thanks to my own
mystakes that the Opus Dei or the P2 were actualy created to
serve the Jesuits and their illuminati AntiChrist conspiracy.
Some of the details I mention here, Ive learned directely from the nephew
of the Madre Generale of the religious Institution
were Marcinkus use to stay in Rome, somebody who shared many meals with this big actor in the illuminati play. He actualy told me once that Opus Dei was a creation of the Jesuits...what a
surprise...

Why there is now a Vatican project specificaly dedicated to investigating the implications o contact with extra terrestrial races?

At Mount Graham in Arizona , the Vatican in reality mantains its own UFO observatory , staffed with Jesuits for the purpuse of doing black magic and working on very detailed astronomical calculations for their so called alchemical work.

This dark approach to the Royal Art of Alchemy is operated unfortunately by the Jesuits with the use of evil Jinns serving Satan himself the owner of Vatican HQ's. Another important role for the complex astronomical calculations is the possibility of tracing the coming of a true Messiah and the return of the true spirit of Jesus in the end of times , something they obviously dont want in Rome.

The jinn concept offers a logical approach to looking at UFO's, cryptozoology, apparitions, magic, demons, monsters and many other mysteries.

Amidst all the far-flung theories presented to account for the presence of alien beings such as:

Intergalactic travel
Travel from the future
Travel from the Inner Earth
Archetypal projections from the Collective Unconscious

very little consideration is given to the concept that some of them simply exist on the earth in a way that isn't generally perceptible to us.

We continue to assume that we can perceive everything that is "real" with our 5 senses despite all the evidence to the contrary. An overzealous belief in a science and philosophy of materialism has probably resulted in an irrational amount of faith in our physical senses.

Human beings are extremely susceptible to the fabrications of the jinn. We believe what they want us to because their impressive materializations and deceptions are tailored to fit our fantasies and belief systems.

The jinn are real entities living on this earth which are normally invisible to us. The name comes from an Arabic word meaning "to hide or conceal". They don't live in bottles or adhere to the fairy tales told about them. They can be deceptive and influential. They are movers behind the UFO mystery as well as many other mysteries. Every culture shows the imprints of their influence in its religion and mythology.

There are myriads of hidden intelligent beings in creation . I have tended to think of many who are not human, angel or animal, as being jinn. This is useful for aiding comprehension, for getting a handle on this vast area of hidden experience. We live in the Kingdom of Names and Attributes, after all, and require these for learning and Knowing. But this is admittedly overly simplistic. It is only a beginning for the more experienced researcher.

Jinns comprise a vast array of tricksters, fairies, demons and monsters, saints and spacemen who have confounded our understanding for centuries. The materialistic science of the 20th century decided that they no longer exist, despite the huge role they have always played in our wisdoms and mythologies, and despite the large portion of the world that never forgot who they are.

Thas because the New World Order of the Jesuits and the Zionist conducted a deliderate UFO propaganda with the help of the usual evil Jinns so you could fall into this demonic trap and loose your faith (there are also good Jinns by the way).

Carl Gustav Jung , a great genius of psychology but also a member of the Freemasons and the OTO illuminati (5th degree) said himself that modern humanity had a dangerously wounded psyche because all the myths had been killed. New ones needed to emerge for humanity to experience wholeness but also for global manipulation. The jinn have obliged by literally popping into the global consciousness as the embodiments of our science fiction fantasies. The flying saucer may be the first global symbol recognized by the entire world but it is probably the most satanic one.

The so called UFO mith is not the way forward for humankind towards a clear understanding of God's hidden methaphisical Kingdom and the real beauty of creation. The devil know's that very well that's why he uses people like Scientology in this evil game piloted by the Jesuits to deceive you even further. Dont believe in whats coming out of Hollywood because at present such place is in the hands of a bunch of very evil and powerfull Jinns who want to Mind Control you in the name of the evil one.

All intelligence agencies in the world are working for such deception on a massive scale (MK-ULTRA) because it is simply in their interest to not make you realize the truth of God before the Great One comes back to punish the infedels.

WAKE UP AMERICA, THIS IS THE TRUTH,YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY THE EVIL ONE AND NOW ITS TIME TO COME BACK TO GOD, ALLAH

Ave Leo,

I spoke to Muftah who works with the Emire of Qatar.

If we have a European Islam Conference which will
promote the Plan for a Islamic Renaiassance which [in
the words of the Emir] will oppose the
Fundamentalists]. Gulen could plan the event under the
Universal Unity as we want to get the Americans
support. Then the Emire will back it and come and put
his support and Money behind it. It can be a great

WANTED
William Breeze

William is one of the infamous satanist who participated to a very important Black Mass celebrated in the Vatican with Massimo Introvigne , Alberto Moscato ,Michela Mercenaro and the usual Jesuits in May 2000.

the following was issued by G.M.Kelly a very diasapointed illuminati...

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I posed this question on an eGroup: "Why did Bill Breeze, Caliph Hymenaeus Beta of the Caliphate pseudo-o.t.o., move from Texas to Germany?" One of his followers quoted Liber OZ: "Man has the right ... to dwell where he will: to move as he will on the face of the earth." To which I replied: "Absolutely! But I did not question his right to move to Germany. I am simply - and already knowing the answer - asking why he fled from the United States?" This was answered with absolute silence.

Warming Up

There once was a fellow named Breeze,
Who'd sue if you so much as sneeze;
For dollars or cents,
A pound or a pence,
He would take from a dog all his fleas.
There once was a fellow named Breeze,
On Thelema he put the big squeeze;
He was in it for money,
For his pecker was runny,
Lord, take him now if you please.

There once was a fellow named Breeze,
Who liked people best on their knees;
He wanted their praise,
Didn't care if they're crazed,
For his ego was just a big sleaze.

There once was a fellow named Bill,
A bad Breeze that was over the hill;
He pretended to be master,
While creating a disaster,
Now mere mention of his name makes us ill.

And if you think that this is all I have to say on the subject, you don't know me too well!
Love is the law, love under will.

1932 ORDRE SOUVERAIN ET MILITAIRE DU TEMPLE DE JERUSALEM

"Want de tragedie is niet een imitatie van mensen, maar van handeling en van de werkelijkheid van het leven. Dientengevolge handelen de personen niet om de karakters te imiteren, maar ter wille van de handeling betrekken zij een karakter erbij. Daarom zijn de gebeurtenissen en de mythe het doel van de tragedie. Het doel echter is het belangrijkste van alles. Bovendien zou er zonder handeling geen tragedie tot stand komen, maar zonder karakters wel."
( Aristoteles, Poetica )

 

‘L’Ordre souverain et militaire du Temple de Jérusalem’ ( OSMTJ ) of ‘Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem’ ( SMOTJ ) of ‘Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani’ is momenteel uitgegroeid tot een internationaal verspreidde Orde met talrijke leden. Zij hebben een ‘Grand Prieuré’ ( vergelijkbaar met Grootloge ) in Duitsland, Groot-Brittannië, Oostenrijk, België, Brazilië, Canada, Denemarken, IJsland, Israël, Italië, Japan, Groothertogdom Luxemburg, Noorwegen, Polen, Schotland, Spanje, Finland, Frankrijk, Nederland, Hongarije, Ierland, Portugal, Rusland, Zweden, Zwitserland, Oekraïne, Verenigde Staten en de NATO.

Zij beweren de opvolgers te zijn van de Tempeliersorde uit de Middeleeuwen.

De geschiedenis van deze Orde heeft een zeer twijfelachtig verleden en op basis van de gegeven historische elementen kunnen we alleen maar concluderen dat deze Orde, noch enige andere Orde, die beweert afkomstig te zijn van de Tempeliers, een rechtsreeks binding heeft met de Middeleeuwse Orde.

Het begin van deze Neo-Tempelierordes vinden we in de gehele geschiedenis terug. In vorige hoofdstukken maakten we kennis met baron Karl Gotthelf Von Hund ( 1722 - 1766 ) met de luisterrijke inwijdingsnaam ‘Carolus Aques ab Ense’ die beweerde dat zijn rite ‘Die strikte Observance’ afkomstig was van de Tempeliers. In de 18° eeuw werden de beweringen van Von Hund als ‘niet bewezen’ beschouwd. Hetzelfde scenario herhaalt zich in de negentiende eeuw.

De eerst volgende figuur die van zich laat horen als de voortzetter van deze Orde was Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat ( 1777 - 1838 ).

In vorige hoofdstukken bespraken we de binding die er bestond tussen de vader van Joséphin Péladan, Louis Adrien Péladan ( 1815 - 1890 ) en een Tempeliersorde in Zuid-Frankrijk.

In het hoofdstuk van ‘L’Ordre de la Rose-Croix Catholique et Esthetique du Temple et du Graal’ zagen we hoe Emile Dantinne ons zijn verhaal deed van de broeders Francis Vurgey en Nicolas Brossel. Desondanks dat Emile Dantine hier verder met geen woord over rept hebben we toch een spoor gevonden dat niet onbelangrijk is. In navolging van Fabré-Palaprat werden er in 1840 statuten gemaakt en gepubliceerd die gewag maken van de Tempeliersorde onder de naam ‘L’Ordre du Temple’.

Op 13/11/1894 was er een internationale bijeenkomst van alle Tempelierordes, uitgezonderd de Orde van Groot-Brittannië, te Brussel. Er zou een internationaal secretariaat worden opgericht onder de verantwoordelijkheid van Vurgey en Brossel. Zij werden later opgevolgd door Selliers de Moranville, Georges le Clément de Saint-Marcq, Georges le Roy van Daems, Oscar Jamar, Arthur van Hecke, Carlos Mosias en Joseph Daems.

Op 19/1/1932 werd te Brussel door de broeders Joseph Cleeremans, Gustaaf Jonckbloedt en Théodore Covias een Belgische vereniging opgericht onder de naam ‘L’Ordre souverain et militaire du Temple’. Het hele gebeuren werd gepubliceerd in het Staatsblad van 20 januari 1933.

Deze Orde kende internationaal 3500 leden. Van deze Orde kreeg Harvey Spencer Lewis een charter op 10/8/1933. ( Document 45 ) Dit document werd voor het eerste gepubliceerd in het officiële Amorctijdschrift ‘Rosicrucian digest’ van december 1933.

Op 1/10/1934 werd Emile Vandenberg hoofd van deze Orde. Emile Vandenberg verbleef na de bezetting een zestal dagen in de Dossyn-kazerne te Mechelen. De echte naam van dit gebouw is het ‘Hof van Habsburg’ in de Goswin de Stassartstraat. Deze straat werd genoemd naar de Vrijmetselaar baron de Stassart.

 

 

De stad Mechelen kent eveneens de ‘Commanderij van Pitzemburg’ die toebehoorde aan de Duitse Orde die in 1198 te Mechelen werd gesticht. Emile Vandenberg werd opgevolgd door Théodore Covias van 1935 tot 1942. Emile Vandenberg volgt Covias op vanaf 1942. Door de problemen met de bezetting in België werd het ganse archief van de Orde overgebracht naar Portugal. Op 23/12/1942 laat Emile Vandenberg zich opvolgen door de Portugees Antonio Pinto de Sousa Fontes die in 1945, na de bevrijding, voor een echte internationale doorbraak zorgt van deze Orde met de nieuwe naam ‘Ordre souverain et militaire du Temple de Jérusalem’ of kortweg OSMTJ. Hij werd opgevolgd in 1960 door zijn zoon Fernando Campello de Sousa Fontes.

Wat op z’n minst eigenaardig is, is dat deze Orde niet is vertegenwoordigt in de FUDOSI te meer dat Emile Dantinne ( Sar Hieronymus ), Imperator van de FUDOSI en Imperator van de Rozekruisers orde in Europa, niet allen zeer bevriend was met Vurgey en Brossel, maar ze uitdrukkelijk vermeld in zijn boek ‘L’Oeuvre et la Pensée de Péladan’.

"Au cours des conférences en Belgique, Péladan créa un noyeau de disciples qui se réunissaient à l’Hotel Ravenstein qui exciste encore à coté du Palais des Beaux-Arts. La patrie de J.B.Van Helmont et de F.M.Van Helmont, ces grands initiés de la Rose+Croix de la Renaissance, eut sa section initiatique. Ses amis Vurgey et Brossel passèrent au Martinisme : seuls, deux de ses initiés lui restèrent fidèles : Du Chastain et Hieronymus." ( blz.38 )

Het wordt nog vreemder dat op het FUDOSI-convent van 1946, toen Ralph Mawwell Lewis opvolger van Spencer Lewis, als co-imperator van de FUDOSI, een tempeliersachtig orgaan inplant met de naam ‘Societé d’études et de recherche templières’ dat onder de verantwoordelijkheid viel van de Naundorffist Sar Gregorius - Augustin Cordonnier.

Ook het OSMTJ kent verschillende vertakkingen en splitsingen. In de beginjaren 1970 werd er protest aangevoerd tegen de toenmalige Grootmeester Fernando Campello de Sousa Fontes. Er scheurde zich een tak af onder de leiding van Antoine Zdrojewski. Dit laatste was het gevolg door infiltratie van het SAC ‘Service d’Action Civique’ een para-politiekorps opgericht door Charles de Gaules. Het SAC werd in 1982 ontbonden en opgeheven. Het SAC had Antoine Zdrojevski vooruitgeschoven als de nieuwe Groot-Prior.

Ook Zwitserland kent een afdeling los van de oorspronkelijke Orde onder de verantwoordelijkheid van Alfred Zapelli. In de Verenigde Staten staat deze Orde onder de leiding van Philip Guarino een vertrouweling van Lici Gelli. Julien Origas was lid van deze Orde.

Tot slot kent Italië een afdeling onder de verantwoordelijkheid van Pasquale Gugliotta. Ze hadden allen bindingen met de Loge P2 ( Propaganda Due ).

Volgens Jean-Pierre Giudicelli de Cressac Bachelerie zou het OSMTJ nog een binnencirkel kennen onder de naam ‘La Rose Rouge et la Croix d’Or’.

For Moscow's modernist icon, a precarious fate awaits

By Christopher Mason The New York Times

Published: August 22, 2006

MOSCOW A few hours after Viktor Melnikov died of cancer at 91 on Feb. 5, his estranged younger daughter and nephew appeared on his doorstep with a retinue of lawyers and bodyguards to try to seize control of his house in the center of this city.
"My father's body was still warm," Ekaterina Karinskaya, Melnikov's elder daughter, recalled bitterly. Karinskaya, the executor of her father's estate, refused to surrender the house, and her relatives eventually left, but a mysterious car remained outside for two days, she said. According to Karinskaya, the three men inside it photographed every one going in and out of the house, but would not disclose who had hired them.
Acrimonious family conflicts are a way of life for the Melnikovs, who have spent the past 20 years embroiled in recriminations and lawsuits over the house in question, the only private one built in the center of Moscow during the Soviet period and an internationally acclaimed Constructivist masterpiece by Viktor Melnikov's father, the Soviet architect and painter Konstantin Melnikov.
According to Barry Bergdoll, a professor of modern architectural history at Columbia University and the recently appointed chief curator of architecture and design at New York's Museum of Modern Art, the house, finished in 1929, is worth fighting over. It "is one of the most important house designs of 1920s modernism," he said. "The house is of global significance."
John Stubbs, vice president for field projects at the World Monuments Fund, likens it to Sir John Soane's house museum in London and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, calling it "a rare and telling survivor of the extraordinary story of the Russian artistic avant-garde."
Viktor Melnikov's will, which has not yet been probated (it was scheduled for Aug. 5, six months after his death) bequeaths his half-share of the house to the Russian state on the condition that it be preserved as a museum honoring his father. It has been held up because the government has not decided whether to accept the bequest.
Two days after Melnikov's death, Karinskaya was shocked to discover that her first cousin, Alexei Ilganaev, who had inherited the other half-share, had sold it in November to Sergei Gordeev, a 33-year-old real estate developer-turned-senator with his own plans for the property.
"Alexei sold it without consulting my father, who was the only person living in the house," Karinskaya said.
Now, all involved await word from the Ministry of Culture and the agency in charge of administering national property about what will ultimately become of this striking and historic house that occupies prime real estate near Moscow's old Arbat pedestrian street.
The grim soap opera of litigation began in 1988, when Viktor Melnikov's sister, Lyudmila, demanded that it be subdivided to allow her to move in. He refused and she initiated a lawsuit that dragged on for eight years. A Moscow court awarded her a half-ownership of the house, but not the right to inhabit it. And last year, in a lawsuit initiated by Melnikov, in a King Lear-like twist, a Moscow judge ruled that his younger daughter, Yelena Melnikova, had deceived her blind father into signing a document giving her ownership of his share of the building. She appealed and lost, but the squabbles continue.
During his lifetime, Viktor Melnikov adamantly refused to sell any of his father's paintings, sketches or architectural drawings, a legacy worth tens of millions of dollars, opting for a life of poverty in order to preserve the house exactly as it was at the time of his father's death in 1974.
According to Clementine Cecil, a British-born founder and trustee of the Moscow Architecture Preservation Society who has been a tireless crusader for the house, Melnikov spent virtually no money on food, surviving on tea and meager servings of vegetables. "Cockroaches scurried about the kitchen and over the paintings," she recalled.
The elder Melnikov's eyeglasses still lie where he left them, by his drawing desk. Earlier this summer, Karinskaya led this visitor up a curved stairway late one night to her father's huge, airy painting studio on the top floor, pointing out the building's unique structure.
The three-story, plaster-sheathed house is composed of two interlocking cylindrical towers. The taller, to the rear, is honeycombed with rhomboid-shaped windows that cast shifting patterns of light by day. In the front of the house, a five-meter-tall, or 17-foot-tall, expanse of glass is topped with a sign proclaiming the name of its creator: Konstantin Melnikov, Architect. (It was a bold calling card during a Soviet regime that prized uniformity; after the house was completed, Stalin denounced Melnikov, who was never permitted to build again.)
Recently, the house has begun to show signs of serious physical neglect. "The bathroom floor has completely collapsed," said David Sarkisyan, director of the Shchusev Museum of Architecture, who has been involved with efforts to preserve it for the past six years.
In the room where Viktor Melnikov slept, Sarkisyan pointed to a chunk of plaster that had fallen from the ceiling, revealing the building's waffle-like construction. The frame of the main window, he said, has ruptured under the weight of the glass, and could easily collapse, "which would be disastrous."
Despite the house's historical significance, the city has permitted the construction of high-rise condominiums nearby with underground parking garages, which has affected the stability of the site, according to Natalia Dushkina, a professor at the Moscow Institute of Architecture.
Observers at the World Monuments Fund, which placed the building on its 2006 Watch List of 100 most endangered sites, have noted with concern that the 800-square-meter, or 8,600-square-foot, site at 10 Krivoarbatsky Lane, is valued at more than $40 million, making it a tempting target for developers. (Since 1992, more than 400 of Moscow's historic buildings have been destroyed under the watch of Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who has expressed contempt for "idiots for whom the preservation of old bricks is an aim in itself." Critics suspect a conflict of interest: Luzhkov's wife, Yelena Baturina, owns one of the city's largest construction companies, Inteko, estimated to be worth more than $1 billion.)
Although Gordeev has said from the start that he is interested in turning the house into a museum, preservationists have been worried about what the former developer's true intentions might be - particularly, according to Karinskaya, because he initially spoke of converting the house into a private museum that he would personally fund, rather than the state-run operation Viktor Melnikov's will called for. "After my father died, Mr. Gordeev came to see me, to find out how much I cost," Karinskaya said. "When he understood that I was priceless, he left very unsatisfied."
MOSCOW A few hours after Viktor Melnikov died of cancer at 91 on Feb. 5, his estranged younger daughter and nephew appeared on his doorstep with a retinue of lawyers and bodyguards to try to seize control of his house in the center of this city.
"My father's body was still warm," Ekaterina Karinskaya, Melnikov's elder daughter, recalled bitterly. Karinskaya, the executor of her father's estate, refused to surrender the house, and her relatives eventually left, but a mysterious car remained outside for two days, she said. According to Karinskaya, the three men inside it photographed every one going in and out of the house, but would not disclose who had hired them.
Acrimonious family conflicts are a way of life for the Melnikovs, who have spent the past 20 years embroiled in recriminations and lawsuits over the house in question, the only private one built in the center of Moscow during the Soviet period and an internationally acclaimed Constructivist masterpiece by Viktor Melnikov's father, the Soviet architect and painter Konstantin Melnikov.
According to Barry Bergdoll, a professor of modern architectural history at Columbia University and the recently appointed chief curator of architecture and design at New York's Museum of Modern Art, the house, finished in 1929, is worth fighting over. It "is one of the most important house designs of 1920s modernism," he said. "The house is of global significance."
John Stubbs, vice president for field projects at the World Monuments Fund, likens it to Sir John Soane's house museum in London and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, calling it "a rare and telling survivor of the extraordinary story of the Russian artistic avant-garde."
Viktor Melnikov's will, which has not yet been probated (it was scheduled for Aug. 5, six months after his death) bequeaths his half-share of the house to the Russian state on the condition that it be preserved as a museum honoring his father. It has been held up because the government has not decided whether to accept the bequest.
Two days after Melnikov's death, Karinskaya was shocked to discover that her first cousin, Alexei Ilganaev, who had inherited the other half-share, had sold it in November to Sergei Gordeev, a 33-year-old real estate developer-turned-senator with his own plans for the property.
"Alexei sold it without consulting my father, who was the only person living in the house," Karinskaya said.
Now, all involved await word from the Ministry of Culture and the agency in charge of administering national property about what will ultimately become of this striking and historic house that occupies prime real estate near Moscow's old Arbat pedestrian street.
The grim soap opera of litigation began in 1988, when Viktor Melnikov's sister, Lyudmila, demanded that it be subdivided to allow her to move in. He refused and she initiated a lawsuit that dragged on for eight years. A Moscow court awarded her a half-ownership of the house, but not the right to inhabit it. And last year, in a lawsuit initiated by Melnikov, in a King Lear-like twist, a Moscow judge ruled that his younger daughter, Yelena Melnikova, had deceived her blind father into signing a document giving her ownership of his share of the building. She appealed and lost, but the squabbles continue.
During his lifetime, Viktor Melnikov adamantly refused to sell any of his father's paintings, sketches or architectural drawings, a legacy worth tens of millions of dollars, opting for a life of poverty in order to preserve the house exactly as it was at the time of his father's death in 1974.
According to Clementine Cecil, a British-born founder and trustee of the Moscow Architecture Preservation Society who has been a tireless crusader for the house, Melnikov spent virtually no money on food, surviving on tea and meager servings of vegetables. "Cockroaches scurried about the kitchen and over the paintings," she recalled.
The elder Melnikov's eyeglasses still lie where he left them, by his drawing desk. Earlier this summer, Karinskaya led this visitor up a curved stairway late one night to her father's huge, airy painting studio on the top floor, pointing out the building's unique structure.
The three-story, plaster-sheathed house is composed of two interlocking cylindrical towers. The taller, to the rear, is honeycombed with rhomboid-shaped windows that cast shifting patterns of light by day. In the front of the house, a five-meter-tall, or 17-foot-tall, expanse of glass is topped with a sign proclaiming the name of its creator: Konstantin Melnikov, Architect. (It was a bold calling card during a Soviet regime that prized uniformity; after the house was completed, Stalin denounced Melnikov, who was never permitted to build again.)
Recently, the house has begun to show signs of serious physical neglect. "The bathroom floor has completely collapsed," said David Sarkisyan, director of the Shchusev Museum of Architecture, who has been involved with efforts to preserve it for the past six years.
In the room where Viktor Melnikov slept, Sarkisyan pointed to a chunk of plaster that had fallen from the ceiling, revealing the building's waffle-like construction. The frame of the main window, he said, has ruptured under the weight of the glass, and could easily collapse, "which would be disastrous."
Despite the house's historical significance, the city has permitted the construction of high-rise condominiums nearby with underground parking garages, which has affected the stability of the site, according to Natalia Dushkina, a professor at the Moscow Institute of Architecture.
Observers at the World Monuments Fund, which placed the building on its 2006 Watch List of 100 most endangered sites, have noted with concern that the 800-square-meter, or 8,600-square-foot, site at 10 Krivoarbatsky Lane, is valued at more than $40 million, making it a tempting target for developers. (Since 1992, more than 400 of Moscow's historic buildings have been destroyed under the watch of Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who has expressed contempt for "idiots for whom the preservation of old bricks is an aim in itself." Critics suspect a conflict of interest: Luzhkov's wife, Yelena Baturina, owns one of the city's largest construction companies, Inteko, estimated to be worth more than $1 billion.)
Although Gordeev has said from the start that he is interested in turning the house into a museum, preservationists have been worried about what the former developer's true intentions might be - particularly, according to Karinskaya, because he initially spoke of converting the house into a private museum that he would personally fund, rather than the state-run operation Viktor Melnikov's will called for.
