Kiev Patriarchate motivates seizure of publishers in Lutsk by the desire to expand
"Today, on May 26, we had an expansion of the area of St. Basil the Great monastery, which is located at 2 Prospekt Svobody. Strictly speaking, the fact that the monastery needs to increase the area has long been known." As early as 2016, the monastery informed the LLC "Initial", located in one of the rooms," said the head of the information and publishing center of the eparchy Vitaly Sobko.
"Since the owner voluntarily does not take away the things stored in this room, it was decided to take them out on our own," notes Vitaly Sobko.
Earlier, the head of the publishing house Viktor Fedosiuk said that they had not been officially warned about the eviction.
Residents of Lutsk have already commented on the event in social networks. According to the citizens, these areas will be used for cafes or shops.
"The publishing house provided all the needs of the church with printed products and found a common language with all the previous bishops," writes Elena Romaniuk. “To date they do not fit into modern business plans of the current eparchial leadership ... Now there is room in the eparchial building for a cafe, a restaurant, a lingerie store and clothes – there is no place only for the publishers."
On May 26 the unknown broke into the building of the “Initial” publishing house and began to take out things. According to the printing office director Viktor Fedosiuk, this is nothing else as the illegal seizure initiated by the UOC KP eparchy.
