Radicals boasted on the Internet of bashing a UOC parishioner (VIDEO)

Radicals in the township Ovidiopol of Odessa region beat a priest’s son, parishioner of the UOC Vasiliy Bokach. Nationalists video recorded the battery and posted it on the net. The incident occurred on August 31 during the village council session in Ovidiopol regarding the issue of the land plot allocatiоn for building a church of the Kiev Patriarchate.

As the UOJ source reports, while the nationalists were beating the man, they mostly lifted their cameras down. Tyres of Vasiiy Bokach’s car were pierced and the mirrors were broken. One of the leaders of local radicals Sergey Sternenko wrote on his Facebook page about the incident: “Vasya stuck the Empire’s Russian Tricolor on his car. Besides, he has spoken up a lot of anti-Ukrainian things all day long today. Now Vasya feels pain all over his body, while his Lexus has problems with mirrors and wheels.”

During the attack there were present police officers who, as it can be seen from the film, did not bother to intrude into goings-on. It was namely the policeman that tore a cross-depicting stick off Bokach’s car – what the radicals had actually sought.

The injured man was delivered to the hospital. Battery-induced injuries were verified with the application filed to the police.
