      I don’t see the lie of things down here, but I am really inclined to think our game is to turn black, silent, and sulky; to suspend the use of those titles which the Bishops cannot really lose — to appoint Vicars General, locum-tenentes, to the sees not filled up — and to make the excuse of this persecution for getting up a great organization, going round to the towns giving lectures, or making speeches, none but Catholics being admitted to speak, starting a paper,…

Peter, in his turn fearing arrest, named the following three candidates: Sergii (Stragorodsky) of Nizhni Novgorod, Mikhail (Ermakov), Exarch of the Ukraine, and Iosif (Petrovykh) of Rostov-the-Great. When Sergii was rearrested in 1926 and Iosif briefly took over, he named four locum tenentes candidates, including Archbishop Serafim (Samoilovich), who would very briefly take over the administration of the Church, only to be arrested on the eve of Sergii’s release in 1927.
