TSN organizes a provocation at Kiev-Pechersk Lavra
TSN organized a video shooting of women with icons of Passion-bearer Nicholas
Journalists of the Television News Service, known for their ambiguous coverage of the life of the UOC, delivered old women with icons of the Passion-bearer Nicholas to the Kiev Pechersk Lavra and organized their photo and video session. This was announced by Protopriest Gennady Shkil on his Facebook page.
According to him, the journalists, among whom it was possible to identify the permanent correspondent of the plots about the UOC, Nelly Kovalskaya, paid the elderly women the amount of UAH 200 for participating in this session. In the pictures one can see a group of old women, among whom stands out a lady with a “pro-Russian” icon, which is taken up by representatives of the TV channel.
Recall that today in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra there was supposed to be a meeting of the President with the hierarchs of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. However, Petro Poroshenko did not come to the meeting. Currently, the session of the UOC bishops is being held in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
