==Criticismo==
Desde o colapso da União Soviética, houve acusações de que o Patriarca Aleixo possuía vínculos com a KGB, o que resultou em documentos que supostamente vieram de arquivos da KGB na Estônia e que se referem ao Patriarca Aleixo com o codinome "Drozdov".<ref>Veja, por exemplo: ''The Wall Street Journal'', [http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB118469533202469128-lMyQjAxMDE3ODE0NzYxOTc1Wj.html 'Cold War Lingers At Russian Church In New Jersey'] 28 de dezembro de 2007.</ref> É importante notar que era muito incomum qualquer pessoa ser referenciada nos documentos da KGB antes de 1980 sem um codinome semelhante, independentemente de uma afiliação com a KGB. Patriarca Aleixo sempre negou que ele fosse tivesse sido um agente da KGB,<ref>"Official spokesman for the Moscow Patriarchy Father Vsevolod Chaplin labeled such reports as 'absolutely unsubstantiated' in a Wednesday interview with Interfax. 'There is no data indicating that Patriarch Alexy II was an associate of the special services, and no classified documents bear his signature,' he said. 'I do not think that direct dialogue between the current patriarch and KGB took place,' Father Vsevolod continued. However, 'all bishops communicated with representatives of the council for religious matters in the Soviet government, which was inevitable, since any issue, even the most insignificant one, had to be resolved through this body. It is quite another matter that the council forwarded all its materials to the KGB,' he said."

"Chaplin, the church spokesman, said in March, 'Nobody has ever seen a single real document that would confirm the patriarch used his contacts with Soviet authorities to make harm to the church or to any people in the church.' " [http://www.stetson.edu/~psteeves/relnews/0205e.html Russia's Well-Connected Patriarch, ''Washington Post'' Foreign Service, 23 May 2002]; "Father Chaplin said: 'In recent times many anonymous photocopies of all sorts of pieces of paper have been circulated. In none of them is there the slightest evidence that the individuals we are talking about knew that these documents were being drawn up, or gave their consent. So I don't think any reasonably authoritative clerical or secular commission could see these papers as proof of anything.' " Russian Patriarch 'was KGB spy', ''The Guardian'' (London), February 12, 1999.</ref> e a autenticidade dos documentos em questão foram contestadas com base no fato deles usarem fontes anacrônicas que não existiam no momento em que o documentos aparentemente se originaram, e que o governo da Estônia fabricou estes documentos a fim de desacreditar na Igreja Ortodoxa Russa<ref>Alexey Chumakov [https://listserv.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/wa-iub.exe?A2=ind0010A&L=ORTHODOX&P=R3102 Agent Drozdov?], 28 de dezembro de 2007.</ref>, que possuía a jurisdição na Estônia.
Professor Nathaniel Davis salientou: "Se os bispos desejaram defender seu povo e sobreviver no cargo, eles tiveram que colaborar de alguma forma com a KGB, com os comissários do Concílio de Assuntos Religiosos e com outra parte e autoridades do governo."<ref>Nathaniel Davis, ''A Long Walk to Church: A Contemporary History of Russian Orthodoxy'', (Oxford: Westview Press, 1995), p. 96. Davis quotes one bishop as saying: "Yes, we&mdash;I, at least, and I say this first about myself&mdash;I worked together with the KGB. I cooperated, I made signed statements, I had regular meetings, I made reports. I was given a pseudonym&mdash;a code name as they say there... I knowingly cooperated with them&mdash;but in such a way that I undeviatingly tried to maintain the position of my Church, and, yes, also to act as a patriot, insofar as I understood, in collaboration with these organs. I was never a stool pigeon, nor an informer."</ref> Patriarca Aleixo reconheceu que compromissos foram feitos com o governo soviético por bispos do Patriarcado de Moscou e publicamente se arrependeu destes compromissos.<ref>[http://pages.prodigy.net/frjohnwhiteford/patalexei.htm Has the MP Repented?], 28 de dezembro de 2007.</ref>
