The most revered church elder of our time, 92-year-old Elijah, could have been poisoned during his abduction in Orel. According to investigators, businessman Gennady Tsurkov (the main suspect) probably administered several injections with mild poisons.
According to Mash, the syringe may have contained small doses of ricin. Now the main version of the quarrel between Gennady Tsurkov and the elder is money from the Vyatsky Posad fund. The businessman could have stolen part of the donations worth tens of millions of rubles, which became known to the schema-archimandrite.

Gennady Tsurkov was detained on September 4 on suspicion of kidnapping. Ily himself is now in Optina Pustyn and is not talking to anyone.
