“Hieromonk” of UOC KP in Kherson popularizes Hitler’s speeches

“Priest” of the UOC KP Bogdan Kostiuk

“Cleric” of the UOC KP Bogdan Kostiuk has published on his Facebook page several posts about the secrets of oratory skills of the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler.

“Father” Bogdan serves as a “chaplain” in the NSU military unit 3056 and together with the fighters from this unit is engaged in the patriotic education of young people: 

The “priest’s” page is saturated with posts on the activities of the radical organization Right Sector.

In one of the messages shared by the “hieromonk” of the UOC KP, the head of this party, Andrei Tarasenko, writes: “We are facilitating the transfer of communities from the Moscow Patriarchate to the Kiev one (the Moscow priests have already imposed anathemas on us), ensure protection at the UGCC’s great worship services, provide assistance to churches of another kind. " Tarasenko also explains the goals of such an activity: “without the influence of the Ukrainian Churches, one cannot fully either mobilize or revive our nation.”

The “father’s” page also features posts on the contemporary activity of the OUN-UPA (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Ukrainian Insurgent Army – Ed.)

The priest of the UOC Gennady Shkil also responded to the post of “hieromonk” on Facebook and reminded that this “cleric” is serving in the church of Kherson region, illegally seized by the Kiev “patriarchate”. Moreover, the church passed into the jurisdiction of the UOC KP as a result “deception and threats”. Father Gennady asks a question – is he offered to unite with such people into a Single Church?


As the UOJ reported earlier, on the night of October 20-21, unknown vandals pasted leaflets over the UOC church in Lvov with exactly the same illustration and signature: “The Stalin Patriarchate is a real canonical name of the Moscow Orthodox Church”.
