According to Maxim Ostapenko, acting director of the "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" Reserve, the reserve currently lacks specialists with the necessary qualifications for working with the Lavra caves after their transfer to the state. In an interview with "Novosti Priazovya", he said that the reserve will not only have to hire new employees but also create new departments to work in the underground structures of the Lavra.
"The question of the staffing schedule, the team that should work in the conditions of the Lavra's renovation, taking into account the Lower Lavra, is a very serious task because in addition to the existing departments, we need new ones that should deal specifically with the caves. These are separate underground structures that need to be dealt with by specialists of such a level, which are currently lacking in the Lavra," he said.
As previously reported, the Minister of Culture, Oleksandr Tkachenko, proposed to place folk crafts in the Lower Lavra after the expulsion of the UOC from the monastery.
