Abbess of UOC convent speaks about excesses of "Right Sector"

The attacks of "Right Sector" radicals on believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have become more frequent. Mother Nikodima, the abbess of the Teplodar Holy Resurrection Convent in the Odessa region, writes 2000.

"Just a couple of weeks ago, again in Teplodar, the" Right Sector" again appeared in Teplodar - the whole bus arrived, more than 20 people. They acted as a "support group" of one of the representatives of the UOC-KP: they wanted to take away our land for the construction of the church.

To protect the convent, all the surrounding villages stood up for it. Radicals can easily attend the session of the city council, including five people armed with automatic rifles ... And no one can contradict them!

We have not been able to register property rights for 12 years, although we bought the building of the convent a long time ago.

And what the "Right Sector" did with our church in Chernomorsk! Just sawed the bars, went into the temple and began to rampage: cut the altar doors, spoiled the robes – spilled oil, wine, dirties the walls.

Okay, this can still be somehow attributed to militant atheism. But, excuse me, how can one defecate into food! The temple feeds the homeless, the poor. And these barbarians cut bags with grain to relieved themselves there. Have they ever been punished? Of course not!

Radicals from the "PS" rent apartments in Teplodar, and in Koblevo they took over the boarding house to live there. Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, Sergeevka, Zatoka – they are all over, everywhere they blaspheme and sow hatred.

But as long as we have sectarians in power, who do not care about Orthodoxy, traitors who were in true Orthodox faith, and then went to the schismatic, no good will come of it," the abbess stressed.
