Russia has not embraced the Catholic Faith and thus cannot possibly be said to have converted. Father Joaquin Alonso, the official archivist of Fatima, was probably the foremost Fatima expert of the 20th Century. Fr. Alonso had unrestricted access to Sister Lucia & her writings and after 10 years of study wrote in 1976: "... we should affirm that Sister Lucia always thought that the ‘conversion’ of Russia is not to be limited to the return of the Russian people to the Orthodox Christian religions, rejecting the Marxist atheism of the Soviets, but rather, it refers purely, plainly and simply to the total, integral conversion of Russia to the one true Church of Christ, the Catholic Church." - Father Joaquin Alonso, La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fatima sin mitos, 2nd edition, Ejercito Azul, Madrid, 1988, p. 78
