[poiuytrewq0987]

We all know Moscow is Third Rome but if Moscow fell, which city do you think could become Fourth Rome?

[Gregorios]

London, Paris, Madrid, Washington DC, Berlin... these are all candidates for the title of "Fourth Rome".

1. Rome.
2. Constantinople.
3. Moscow, in accordance with Russia's messianic mission. ;)

«Да вѣси, христолюбче и боголюбче, яко вся христианская царства приидоша в конецъ и снидошася во едино царство нашего государя, по пророческимъ книгамъ, то есть Ромеиское царство: два убо Рима падоша, а третий стоитъ, а четвертому не быти. <…> да вѣсть твоа держава, благочестивый царю, яко вся царства православныя христианьския вѣры снидошася въ твое едино царство: единъ ты во всей поднебесной христианом царь <…> якоже выше писахъ ти и нынѣ глаголю: блюди и внемли, благочестивый царю, яко вся христианская царьства снидошася въ твое едино, яко два Рима падоша, а третей стоитъ, а четвертому не быти. Уже твое христианьское царство инѣмъ не останется, по великому Богослову.»

And to all, Christ-loving and God-loving, for all Christian kingdoms have come to an end and fused into the single kingdom of our ruler, according to the books of prophecy, that is - the Roman kingdom: Two Romes have fallen, a third stands, there will not be a fourth. - Filofey (Philotheus) of Pskov, 1520s.

а четвертому не быти! :suomut:
