Friday, September 24, 1999 HOM THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS D-13 3 Russians bid final farewell to ex-first lady Associated Press MOSCOW Bidding farewell to the woman who was his soulmate, former Soviet President Mikhail "Gorbachev bent slowly over wife Raisa's open coffin today and gave her a final kiss goodbye. As hundreds of well-wishers clustered outside Moscow's Novodevichy cemetery, priests swinging censers incense chanted the burial service. Gorbachev bent low and kissed his wife one last time, just, below the traditional Russian Orthodox burial scarf wrapped on Raisa Gorbachev's forehead. Gorbachev appeared healthy, but clearly worn down after sitting with his wife for two months in a German clinic as she lost ground in her struggle with leukemia. Raisa Gorbachev's death Monday at age 67 ended a 46-year marriage that many saw as profoundly symbiotic.

"They were a real pair," said former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, one of the mourners at the cemetery. "Much of what he achieved i is unimaginable without his wife." Although Raisa Gorbachev's professorial intellect and stylish dress seemed to outsiders to complement her husband's epochal reform policies, she was regarded with suspicion by many Russians used to Soviet leaders' wives being unseen and unmentioned. But eyes that may once have narrowed in suspicion brimmed with sympathy on Thursday as crowds of ordinary Russians outside the cemetery, and the building where an earlier memorial service was held, for a glimpse of the funeral cortege. "She was a good woman for Russia," said a woman outside the cemetery who gave her name only as Irina. "We just want to show (Gorbachev) we're sorry for him." A few minutes later, the procCession drove past, some mourners in sleek modern limousines and others crowded into battered Soviet-era buses.

The mourners attended a private service in a chapel of the Novodevichy convent, adjacent to the cemetery that holds the graves of luminaries including Anton Chekhov and Nikita Khrushchev. Earlier Thursday, a stream of ambassadors, foreign guests and prominent Russians including President Boris Yeltsin's wife, Naina, brought, wreaths, bouquets and condolence to the family as they sat with the coffin in the Russian Cultural Foundation, which Raisa Gorbachev founded. A small delegation of students from the philosophy department at Moscow State University, where Gorbachev once taught, brought a large wreath of white roses and fir fronds. Born Raisa Maximovna Titarenko in 1932, Raisa Gorbachev is also survived by daughter Irina two granddaughters and a younger sister. Basil Rodzianko, 84, was retired Orthodox bishop The New York Times Bishop Basil Rodzianko, a retired Bishop of the Orthodox Church in America who was known for the broadcasts on religious topics that he made Britain and the United States to what is now Russia for more than three decades, died last Friday at his home in Washington.

He was 84. The broadcasts by the bishop, whose first name was originally Vladimir, were first transmitted by the British Broadcasting Corp. during the Cold War. That was after he arrived in Britain, having been imprisoned in Yugoslavia for two years for "illegal religious propaganda." He and his family moved there from their native Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution, and he earned a theological degree there. He made his broadcasts in a mellow voice in Russian, giving news and commentary and, later on, exploring theological themes.

In the latter part of his broadcasting career, his radio talks were transmitted by the Voice of America and Radio Vatican. He kept on broadcasting after he retired from his episcopal duties in 1984 and moved to Washington. For most of the 1990s, he broadcast on Russian television during visits to Russia. He had been born in Ukraine while it was part of the Russian empire. In 1981, he was promoted to his last post, that of the Bishop of the Diocese of San Francisco, which includes much of the western United States.

He had served for a short time as Bishop with the title of Bishop of Washington, D.C. to the Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, Metropolitan Theodosius, who still holds that office. The Orthodox Church in America is nan independent daughter church of the Russian Orthodox Church. Basil's wife, the former Maria Kolyubayev, died two decades ago. His survivors include two sons, Vladimir and Peter, who both live in Britain, and three grandsons.
