Former MIA Minister accused Metropolitan Alexander (Drabinko) of nun ravishment
“Drabinko was perfectly aware of his implication in a crime and the degree of his guilt. Fearing a likely arrest and imprisonment together with his “brothers in crime”, he decided to write this note,” writes Vitaliy Zaharchenko.
“out of moral and ethical considerations I did not want to publish this document, written by Drabinko on his own initiative when he was pleading me to shield his accomplices after I’d told him straightforwardly he was insincere (mildly speaking). However, that flow of lie and dirt this “devout Christian” has been pouring on the people who have absolutely nothing to do with those events leaves me no other option,” underscored the ex-Minister.
Vitaliy Zaharchenko has published a decoded text of the note.
“Highly esteemed Vitaliy Yuryevich!
Living through a complicated and critical situation in my personal, social and church life at the moment, I am fully aware of the depth of my guilt, repent in the occurrence before the Lord as a Christian and before the state as a citizen.
Personally, I pledge in front of the Cross and Gospel to be grateful to your attention and concern about my destiny, as well as to help you at your first call and assignment.
Sincerely yours,
Archbishop Alexander Drabinko
18.06.2013”
