Kyiv Patriarchate registers community at a non-existent address in Golaya Pristan

The UOC-KP registered a community in the town of Golaya Pristan in the Kherson region, providing the address for entering into the database which could not be found on the town map.

The community of Agapit of the Caves of the Kyiv Patriarchate No. 40299012 appeared in the state register of legal entities when the current Fialkovaya Street in Golaya Pristan was named after Frunze. Now, as it became known to a correspondent of the Union of Orthodox Journalists, this unit of the Kyiv Patriarchate received from the town land for the construction of a cult building. However, its legal address, as it turned out, is fictious.

As the parishioners of the St. Seraphim Church of the UOC in Golaya Pristan explained, there is no number 11 A in Fialkovaya Street, where the community of the Kyiv Patriarchate is supposedly registered. "There are no traces of demolition, there is a dense building of private houses in the district," the believers answered to the Editor's assumption that the house, for example, could have already been demolished.

Careful search for at least some information about a house at 11 A, Fialkovaya Str. (former Frunze), Golaya Pristan, led only to the location of house № 11. This is also a private house, among its inhabitants are believers going to a UOC church.
