In the closed Cyril and Methodius Church of the UOC at the Uman Pedagogical University, the leadership of the university decided to place a library warehouse. The “priest” of the OCU Mykola Varivoda reported this on Facebook.
“This is all that remains of the Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, which operated at the local Pedagogical University for the last twenty years. It could become a decoration, a shrine of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. However, it didn’t work out,” said the OCU cleric.
People's opinions in the comments to Varivoda's post were divided.
“History has already happened....the great-grandfathers of these 'librarians' also turned churches into clubs, stables, warehouses, etc. Sadness and horror, but...'God cannot be scolded!'", wrote Sviatoslav Tchaikovsky.
“Communists in a new guise. History teaches nothing,” Ihor Voitenko agreed with him.
At the same time, the secretary of the synodal theological and liturgical commission of the OCU, “priest” Andrei Dudchenko, did not see any particular tragedy in the refurbishment of the temple.
“Well, they didn’t repurpose it for a toilet, after all,” Dudchenko wrote.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that a girl in a Ukrainian costume danced in the Refectory Church of the Lavra.
