KP spokesperson Yevstratii Zoria complains that UOJ deprived him of the post
We are talking about the news which says how UOC Metropolitan Alexander (Drabinko) brought Yuri Doroshenko - press secretary of the head of the UOC-KP Filaret – to the meeting with the Primate of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem Theophilus III.
According to Zoria, Doroshenko has not been Filaret’s press secretary since 2002. It is he (Yevstratii Zoria) who has occupied this position since then, though under a different name – as the head of the Information Department of the Kiev Patriarchate.
Doroshenko also reacted to the UOJ publication on his Facebook page, noticing that he used to be a spokesperson of the late Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Metropolitan Vladimir.
Meanwhile, Wikipedia says that it is Doroshenko who has been Filaret’s press secretary since 2000 – without indication of termination of his service in this position. There is no mentioning of the fact that he worked as a press-secretary of His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir, as there is no evidence on Yevstratii Zoria’s page that he has been the press secretary of Filaret.
At the same time, Zoria emphasizes that Doroshenko has never hidden his sympathy for the Kiev Patriarchate. The latter is decorated with the orders of the UOC-KP and UAOC and is the author of the book about the head of the KP "Stoic Builder of the Ukrainian Church" and "Without tenets. Religious lines," which became a winner of the book rating of the National-Social Party of Ukraine. Even now Doroshenko is doing the PR of the Kiev Patriarchate, talking about Filaret’s walks on Kreshchatik Street without guards.
The UOJ apologizes to the readers, who the news of the companion of Metropolitan Alexander (Drabinko) could mislead, and recommends that public figures more carefully monitor the information about themselves on the reference resource.
