"Right Sector" reports on the "transfer" of church in Gnezdychno to OCU

The "Right Sector" after the seizure of the temple in the village of Gnezdychno

Representatives of the right-wing organization Right Sector on their Facebook page reported on the “transfer” of the UOC church in the village of Gnezdychno of the Zbarazh district, Ternopol region, to the OCU.

“March 3 will go down in history for the village of Gnezdychno as the day of the indestructible struggle for its own Ukrainian faith.
The Ukrainian community showed strength and courage by defeating all confrontations and provocations of the pro-Russian community led by the cassock,” the radicals’ message said.

The radicals also reported on “enemies” who must be defeated: “The war continues not only in the east but also in the rear. We must understand that the enemy is near and make every effort to win."

We recall that on March 3, fighters of the “Right Sector” grabbed the Holy Transfiguration Church in the village of Gnezdychno of the Zbarazh district, Ternopol region. On a video posted on the Web, radicals literally are throwing parishioners from their temple. Later, another video appeared where the scandalous “cleric” of the UOC KP and other “activists” beat up women.

“This video seems like a good reason to be subject to the article of the Criminal Code,” people write in comments on the Facebook page of the Right Sector and ask the radicals not to hype themselves on the church topic.

As the UOJ reported, on March 3, 2019, the adherents of the new church structure, with the help of the Right Sector fighters, took over the Holy Transfiguration Church in the village of Gnezdychno of the Zbarazh district, Ternopol region. Believers of the canonical Church, who entered the temple for negotiations, were beaten and driven out into the street.
