The monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra refuse to leave the monastery by decision of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine

The Kyiv authorities continue to intensify discriminatory actions against the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), not even hiding the fact that all harassment is done in favor of the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), self-proclaimed in 2018.

The toughest confrontation and struggle, including purely property, is being fought around the right of the monks of the UOC to stay in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, one of the most important historical centers of not only Ukrainian, but also Russian Orthodoxy.

In early January, the Ukrainian authorities took away the Refectory Church and the Assumption Cathedral from the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, allowing representatives of the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine to serve in them. Later, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine ordered the monks to leave the Lavra before March 29. They can stay in the monastery if they go over to the side of the OCU.

Another attempt to evict the clergy from the monastery this time was made by the administration of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve, controlled by the Ministry of Culture, on whose territory the temple complex is located. Metropolitan Pavel (Lebed), the abbot of the monastery, spoke about receiving the order to leave the 34th building in his video message to President Zelensky.

The clergyman stressed that he did not consider this prescription legal, since at one time the monks received the offer to “settle in the Lavra” by decision of the Supreme Council and the government of Ukraine, and not the Ministry of Culture. Therefore, they do not intend to leave the 34th building, as well as other buildings of the Lavra, Pavel said.

The metropolitan noted that the brethren are appealing to the president, the cabinet of ministers, the head of the Verkhovna Rada and asking “to put a barrier to the evil of the Ministry of Culture” and the leadership of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve. Pavel emphasized that further persecution and harassment of the UOC ministers by the authorities intensify the split in Ukrainian society, which “could end very badly.”

The canonical UOC is the second in Ukraine in terms of the number of parishioners after the OCU and the first in terms of the number of clergy, parishes of monasteries. Persecution, including forced expulsion from churches, against the Church intensified last year after the start of the Russian special operation. The Kiev regime, in particular, accuses the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of secret subordination to the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church and sympathy for the Russians in general.

This is an amazing fact for me! where can I find confirmation of it? or all those who are in the APU, gur and other structures of power are automatically attributed to the bird?

[Quote Lavrov]

Formally, it probably is. Conventionally, a crowd of right-wingers will arrive now, throw out the monks and that's it, we can say that all the parishioners are now a bird.
In fact - sectarian strife and crime. And in form - statistics that are pleasant for the Nazis

Quote Lavrov , I wonder if after this the parishioners of the Moscow Patriarchate will go to serve in the OCU.

Why be surprised if the issue of faith in Ukraine has long been tied to politics - if you are a parishioner of the UOC, then you are an enemy.
The most "flexible and sensitive" immediately signed up for the ranks of the OCU, as soon as they realized who the Bandera government and Western money put on, but those who doubted were simply "explained" where and for whom they should pray correctly so that they would not go after the intractable Donetsk, Lugonsk and Odessans.

What is the use of turning to the fascist Zele? They will expel them from there by force. Unfortunately, this is a reality

They are doomed, at this stage no one can help them, and those who can will not want to.

Yes, they were alone. All the rest in Ukraine hid and fell silent .. Will the rat, Zelin, Jewish Bandera authorities openly destroy Orthodox priests and monks. I don't think it will. They will bribe, intimidate, repress the families of priests, the Nazis can secretly catch and beat monks. It is very dangerous to have your own opinion and faith in modern Jewish Ukraine .. You can lose your life.
Monks of the Pechersk Lavra New Holy Martyrs for Orthodoxy...

May the Lord strengthen them in peace of heart, in fidelity and courage.
Who are the believers? Put at least three bows to the Lord Jesus Christ .. and to the Most Holy Theotokos, for the monks of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

Can't you just burn the hell out and emigrate?
I think Russia could give them the land of some former state farm / collective farm (how many of them have been ruined) land, of those that are not built up and not sold for 3 kopecks).
And the Khokhol will not get anything, and we will try an experiment like "Orthodox collective farm" (If the left is dumb, let's do it anyway!).

[Quote Lavrov]

It is forbidden!! It is a historical and cultural monument for millions of people. And not built by us, but long before us and before such idiots as Zelensky. And he must survive all this vague neo-Nazi time

Hmm ... A brave man, very brave

[Murmur 55]

svp67 , they will send a young scumbag under the guise of "patriotically" minded citizens and will be evicted with bodily varying degrees.

If the Russians dared to touch at least one priest, then the entire Anglo-Saxon world would already squeal with a terrible squeal and would impose sanctions for infringing on the rights of clergymen ...
And the chibaki have been pressing the priests of the UOC for eight years already, they have burned churches, parishes, they persecuted, mocked and beat the ministers themselves. Now there is simply the destruction of the church in Ukraine, violence against priests and monks... and the whole world is SILENT! As if nothing is happening!

I hope that on March 29, when trying to expel the monks from the Lavra, Prince Yaroslav, who rests there, will rise from the marble sarcophagus and punish the participants in the blasphemy.

Trust in God, but don't make a mistake yourself !!!!! God gave man a mind ... You need to be able to use it for the benefit of yourself and the world ... Then there will be no more Zelensky and reptilian Jew-Ukrobanderites.
