On April 3, 2023, the leader of the right-wing radical organization C14, Yevhen Karas, in his Telegram channel called for the kidnapping of Archimandrite Polycarp, who leads the choir of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
"I am not kidding. If you catch this LGBT-evader, we will teach him to love Ukraine. He will not write a statement that he was kidnapped and taken to the war zone,” Karas notes.
Karas also said that Father Polycarp would be a "volunteer" at the front.
“I declare safari on this faggot open,” wrote the radical.
Recall that Archimandrite Polycarp said that for a state that lives according to the laws of Lenin, the Lavra remained a museum, while the relics remained exhibits.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Karas distributed instructions on how best to attack the believers of the UOC. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra sued the radical.
