The Choir Anthoula and Alexandra Attend
Reach out to Choir Leader Maria Bakhvalova,
I am reaching out to you because I am a desperate parent and father to two of your bright students. There has not been one day since my children were Kidnapped in April 2017 without tears in my eyes and pain in my heart.
You are the choir leader of my two wonderful daughters, Anthoula and Alexandra, who always expressed warm feelings for the choir they attend, the few times their mother, Liudmila Trafimovich, allowed me to talk with them.

Papa Will Always Love And Wait For You, Anthoula and Alexandra
I love my daughters more than my life, and miss them very much. I feel incomplete, and my soul is dead without them. I know that I will not have my daughters back, and I have no intention of trying to get them back and rip them from the environment they have been used to for more than six years now. That would traumatize them a second time, and I cannot do that because I love and care about Anthoula and Alexandra.
Myself is Christian, belonging to the Hellenic Orthodox Church, and I don’t like or support the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. This war is a war of destruction and the creation of hatred between people and nations, and there will only be losers in the end, with crying mothers and fathers for the loss of their children.
Maria Bakhvalova, for some time now, I have noticed that you are not leading the choir and that Priest Bakhvalov is absent from the liturgies. That makes me worried and afraid because I felt secure and safe knowing my daughters were in your and Priest Bakhvalov’s hands. Both of you are well-educated and have relevant education and experience.
Knowing that some prominent people have distanced themselves from Andrei Lemeshonok and left the monastery makes me very worried. Therefore, please tell me if you can, if you are still the choir leader for my daughters. Liudmila, their mother, tries to erase me from my children’s lives and doesn’t tell me anything about their education and development, and doesn’t let me talk with my children.
Maria Bakhvalova, can you please give me this information and tell Anthoula and Alexandra, if you see them, that I love them more than my life and anything else in our world? Please tell them that I will never give up on them despite all the obstacles created to erase me from their lives.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
P.S. You can answer me in the Russian language if you possess the sensitivity
Amendment:
It took me some time, unfortunately, to realize that my letter will never be answered and that Maria Bakhvalova and her partner, Priest Bakhvalov, are deeply involved members of the sect led by Andrei Lemeshonok.
I later learned that Maria Bakhvalova had also spent a period of time living in Canada and that Mr. Bakhvalov is Lemeshonok’s “Cerberus”. The information I eventually uncovered about both of them, to say the least, is deeply concerning.
There are a lot of mental disorders among the individuals belonging to Lemeshonok’s “Sect”, with many of them having a dubious past, to put it mildly!
