A “follower of Satan” told Channel 5 how to shoot, beat and expel Christians from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

“We need to f*ck them all, drive them out of here, there shouldn’t be any talk. Either you are Ukrainian or you are a traitor. Nothing else is given. What provocation do you mean? We came to see how many narrow-minded people are still left who do not understand what is happening,” said the Satanist.

The pagan said that he was trying to keep a cold mind in order to be ready to “remove a cancerous tumor from the place where it develops,” referring to the monks of the UOC.

According to him, the police cannot overstep the law and expel believers from the Lavra who are traitors to Ukraine.

“Because all the boys are fighting and there is no one to come and burn this f*cking almshouse, that's all. The only reason,” he added.

When asked by a journalist about the legality of house arrest for the abbot of the Lavra, the Satanist replied, “We need to put him on his knees in the forest and shoot him in the head and let this video go through all the Russian media. There can be no talk, no house arrests. We are not Christians, we are ancient pagans."

Also, the "liberator" of the Lavra from the clergy and believers said that he was dissatisfied with the fact that the history of Slavic paganism was distorted.

As the UOJ previously reported, “Long live Satan”: a pagan staged a provocation at the Lavra.
