You mean this one link from obviously biased freak 'tuckercarlson' lol that's like proof, proof 😄

All Orthodox hierarchs in the Soviet Union were forced to cooperate with the Committee for State Security (KGB). Patriarch Filaret shared this information on Radio Liberty.

According to him, otherwise, clergy could not fully perform their duties because their decisions lacked legal force.

"There was no bishop who did not have contacts with them. If he did not have contacts, then he was not a bishop. Therefore, if someone from the hierarchs says that he did not have contacts (with the KGB), then it means he is lying. I know this for sure," said the patriarch.

On December 20, on the website of the Latvian National Archives, in the agent registry of the KGB of the Latvian SSR, they found an agent card under the name of Oleksandr Ivanovych Kudryashov, born in 1939. The information on the card completely matches the biographical data of the head of the Latvian Orthodox Church, which is part of the Moscow Patriarchate - Metropolitan of Riga and all Latvia Oleksandr (in the world Kudryashov).

As indicated in the card, Kudryashov was recruited as an agent of the KGB under the pseudonym "Reader" in January 1982. It is noted that he was recruited by an employee of the 5th department of the KGB of the Latvian SSR, who was involved in combating ideological subversion. The card specifies his occupation as "priest of the Orthodox Church." The current Metropolitan Oleksandr was ordained as a deacon in 1982.
