Vincent Berg

Vincent Victor Berg (born Viktor Vladimirovich Chekalin, , also known as bishop Vikenty Chekalin, ; February 19, 1952, Tula) is a Soviet religious figure, known mainly for the fact that in 1990, together with Bishop John (Bodnarchuk), he was involved in reestablishing the hierarchy of the revived UAOC. Also in 1990, he established the Russian Orthodox Catholic Church.

His activities caused and continue to cause a sharply hostile reaction from the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian authorities. In his interview in December 2022 [https://www.friedman.it/bishop-and-ex-kgb-psychiatrist-vincent-berg-im-still-targeted-by-russians/][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2TfW_fyYbM], Berg warns that he has been and continues to be subjected to targeted discredit and slander using falsifications and disinformation.

Since 1992, he has been living in Australia, having retired from public religious activities. Provided by Wikipedia
