Beide Seiten singen, Brüllen, diskutieren. Polizei ist verteilt vor Ort, muss nichts regeln überraschend gesittet für das aufgeladene Thema #lavra

Die Proteste am Höhlenkloster laufen sehr gesittet ab. Die pro-russischen Gläubigen dürfen protestieren, die Gegenseite auch. Es wird viel diskutiert. Dazwischen wenige Polizisten. #lavra

"Law enforcement officers also found that the abbot repeatedly insulted the religious feelings of Ukrainians in his public speeches, humiliated the views of believers of other faiths, and fostered hostile attitudes toward them."

" #Ukraine’s State Audit Service conducted an audit and found that state-owned cultural heritage sites and 36 constructions within the territory of the #Lavra had been illegally transferred to private use."

@blobfrog Ukraine has 3 different Orthodox churches, one of them is a branch of russian KGB church, which is under some pressure from Ukrainian government. 2018 event is related to another Ukrainian church.
#Lavra is the oldest Christian building in the post-soviet territory, so for russian empire it's important that Lavra should be controlled by KGB church. And decolonizing it is important for Ukraine )

Christmas joy and anger for rival Orthodox churches in historic Kyiv monastery https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/christmas-joy-anger-rival-orthodox-churches-historic-kyiv-monastery-2023-01-07/ #CRISIS/CHRISTMAS #LAVRA(UPDATE1) #UKRAINE

Historic event for Ukrainian nation: for the first time in several centuries Ukrainian #Orthodox Church as the legal successor of the ancient #Kyiv #Metropolitanate is conducting a #Christmas service in the main church of Kyiv #Lavra - #Uspenskyi #cathedral.

Happy holidays, friends!

The #Vicar of the #Kyiv-#Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan #PavloLebid, popularly known as "#PashaMercedes", called on #Zelenskyy not to take away from the #FSB branch of the #UOC MP 2 churches on the territory of the #Lavra and to ensure that "those people who have nothing to do with the church indicated when we should celebrate #Christmas"

🤮 And this is how the "holy fathers" from the #Lavra behaved in the first days of the #Russian invasion.

The #SBU conducts counter-intelligence activities in the #Kyiv-#Pechersk #Lavra.

As we wrote earlier, this morning the SBU visited the #priests for morning coffee. Including checking the premises for the presence of weapons.

An absolutely adequate reaction after the act of performing #Russian songs during the service.

I advise you to forget the #Russian narrative "#religion is not #politics".
Absolutely everything is in politics.
