Korchinsky’s associates have a pseudo-prayer in Lavra
Radicals after the "prayer"
According to a UOJ source, the youngsters were accompanied by a man in a cassock who appeared to be "a priest of the Kiev Patriarchate". After the "prayer", the young men took a video near the temple.
The organizers of the "prayer service" said that the Assumption Cathedral and the Refectory Church should belong to the Ukrainian Church, and not to the "Moscow" Church. They announced another action of that kind in the near future.
The theses of their "speeches" are the following:
1. We are for the victory of Ukrainian weapons over the Moscow occupants!
2. The Pechersk Lavra is occupied by FSB agents!
3. All this is the beginning of the campaign for holding prayer services of the Kiev Patriarchate, autocephalists, whoever but not "Moskals" in all "Moskal churches".
4. We will take away all the churches, what we need is time, God's help and proper methods. We will do everything step by step and gradually.
They shared their tactics: "Today we came to this church and stayed half an hour here. Tomorrow we will come to another one and leave in a few days. Then we will come to never leave."
Among the young people who conducted the pseudo-moleben, there was Vita Zaverukha, a girl who likes to be photographed against the background of the Nazi swastika and does not hide her extreme right-wing beliefs.
