The caves of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra will be reconstructed, said the head of the State Ethnopolitics Service, Viktor Yelenskyy, in a commentary to bigkyiv.
According to Yelenskyy, the Commission of the Ministry of Culture will examine the Lavra "building by building".
"We remember when notices were hung on Lavra churches saying 'No schismatics and Uniates are to be prayed for here'," Yelensky said. “Now that, thank God, is gone. It remains for the specialists to finish examining it, to accept it into the state property. And then, after some reconstruction – because there is a need to reconstruct, for example, the caves – it will be decided how the monastic life will continue".
As reported, Tkachenko called the relics of the saints "exhibits" and promised to have them inspected.
