It is published by the "orthodox" company St.Holy Trinity-St.Sergius Lavra described by the Moscow Times as "A publishing house run by the Russian Orthodox Church... The calendar, published by the Moscow-based patriarchal printing house of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius monastery, presents pictures of Stalin, accompanied by excerpts from his biography. The photographs show Stalin gradually ageing as the months roll on — from a young man on the January page to a gray-haired Soviet leader in December."

The RFEL reports it as a publication of the Russian Orthodox Church in the same way:

2) The creator and distributor of the calendar was an outside enterprise (Dostoinstvo). It was a commercial order accepted by the printing press.
And was advertised by the church as a best seller, hence all the media attention it received.
3) When this fact became known to the Moscow Patriarchate, with the support of the hierarchy of the Lavra, the Typography director and entire accounting section were fired.
Here's another one, this time a "documentary" called "Stalin. Defeat of the 5th Column". Deals with Stalin's "glorious" defeat of the so-called 5th Column in Russia:

From the description:
"As is usually the case with the Russian people, the warrior and protector - in the last moments of his life, help comes. And comprehending took place amid one realizes that only he could make no effort. His only will help you win. Win a death and the enemy.
Extras: Three Stalin's speech."
Maybe they will need to fire more people to solve the problem?
You are lying again.
The Church never offered the Calendar for sale.
The Church never advertised the calendar.
The creator and distributor of the calendar was Dostoinstvo. This is a private organization not part of the Church.
They placed a commercial order with an ROC owned printing press. The order was delivered to Dostointvo who sold and advertised it themselves. The printing press had previously accepted outside commercial orders. When the Stalin printing was discovered by the Church, all people responsible were fired.
Instead of telling the truth, you spread lies saying the Church created the calendar, and advertised it, and sold it. It did none of these things, but you want to believe it and want other people to believe your lies to smear the church.
If you cared about truth you would apologize to everyone here for spreading lies and falsely smearing the Russian Orthodox Church.
Instead of following up with more and more lies.
