Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            Svetlana was sleeping soundly. It calmed me down. I waited some time and scanned
            again. Svetlana continued to sleep. When I tuned in on her, she asked me: "Help me to
            wake up!" I did what she asked and began to wait for her to return to her normal waking
            state.

                  Usually she needed half an hour to be completely awake. Right after waking she
            was always in semi sleep; although she did everything that was needed, even answered
            questions, but then remembered nothing of it. Only on being completely awake, was
            she ready to interact with the surrounding world. I waited some time and began to call
            to all phones and Skype, waiting for her call. I was anxious but the scanning showed
            that Svetlana was alive which calmed me a little. I even began to watch the film "The
            gold of fools" at 9 p.m. Moscow time to take off the unrest. Somewhere at 9.35 - 9.40
            it was as if something exploded in my head and I immediately tuned to Svetlana and
            got the shocking information: "Svetlana is dead".
                  Several times this kind of information had been palmed off on me before, but I
            always scanned again, more deeply and thoroughly, and always found Svetlana alive.
            This time I saw that no dirty trick was played on me which upset me very much. I began
            to worry very seriously. I started calling again on all phones. Nothing. My agitation
            began to increase. Relatively recently I asked Svetlana to give me our housemaid’s
            mobile phone number, just in case. Frederic is her name. There was a holiday in France,
            but nevertheless I decided to call her. She did not pick up the phone and I left her a
            message that I would be very grateful if she went to our Château and checked how
            Svetlana was. At 22 hours 11 minutes Moscow time I heard a Skype call. Exited, I
            rushed to my working study and saw with enormous joy a Skype call from Svetlana. I
            cursed quietly, blaming myself for letting panic seize me and pushed the button "Video
            Call"…

                  In Moscow Svetlana very actively worked as a TV reporter. She was able to do
            that which was considered impossible. She was charged with filming material about
            the Russian Orthodox Church. She managed to get an audience with Alexis II and, on
            seeing her for first time, the Patriarch said to her: "You are not a simple woman, Light-
            and-Lucid one". Very quickly they became  friends  and  he  gave  her  all  his  direct
            telephone numbers and said that she could call any time day and night. They met very
            often and conversed a lot, discussing different subjects. When Alexander Men was
            killed, Alexis II called her first to convey this sorrowful news. He introduced Svetlana
            to an elder called Sergiy who in Svetlana’s opinion was a volkhv and keeper of old
            knowledge.
                  Their cordial relations played a crucial role in Alexis II’s decision to let the film
            crew with which Svetlana worked to film the Patriarch’s chambers and the altar in
            Sergiev Posad. Nobody ever was allowed to do that. Soon a documentary was broadcast
            all over Europe which got several awards, but Svetlana’s name was not mentioned in
            the list of the members of the production, although it was Svetlana who directed the
            documentary  while her  chief  was in  Warsaw. Probably  they  considered  it  sufficed
            simply to pay her salary and have all the credits left for them.

                  Svetlana was a creator and never strived for over-emphasizing what she had done.
            She never grabbed anything for herself, even when this something was hers. She was
