Scandalous TV presenter caught in fake about UOC

On March 14, on Holy Friday, Catholic journalist Olga Freimut launched a provocation against the UOC. The TV presenter tried to get into the Kiev-Pechersk Historical and Cultural Sanctuary free of charge, motivating it with her desire “to see the shroud”, writes Главновости.

“As a journalist Freimut is supposed to know that the territory she was breaking into is subordinated to the Ministry of Culture, not the UOC! What barred her from walking another 100 meters and thus entering the Lavra for free? The question arises: why didn’t this “believer” make a similar provocation, say, at St. Sophia Cathedral? The entrance there is also fee-paying and the fee is established by the Ministry of Culture.

What a pity not a single media outlet pointed to the fact that in order to make the entrance to temples of the Upper Lavra (Museum) free of charge, it has to be returned first to the faithful. Instead, mass media ventilated the provocation of one of the notoriously scandalous propagandist,” commented the situation the author of the article.

The journalist had a row with the museum security staff in camera. The provocative video with respective comments in the UOV address, having nothing to do with the paid entrance to the museum, was published by a number of famous mass media.

The Holy Assumption Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is divided into the Upper – National Kiev-Pechersk Historical and Cultural Sanctuary – the entrance fee to which is established by the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, and the Lower – monastery of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church where one can get for free.
