"Priest" of the OCU Yuri Bolshakov, who twice cut the locks on the St. Panteleimon church of the UOC in Vyshgorod, failed to make the sign of the cross. The relevant video was published by Dozor_kozak1.

In the footage of the OCU "prayer service" in front of the St. Panteleimon church of the UOC, Bolshakov, dressed in camouflage, tries twice to cross himself, but each time he ends up with a V-shaped gesture.

The "priest" justified his actions that he "couldn't sleep at night" and felt like praying. Earlier Bolshakov participated in the seizure of the Boris and Gleb Church of the UOC in Vyshhorod, from which he stole the antimins. According to documents, the OCU cleric is listed as the rector of the Alexander Nevsky Church in the village of Fenevychi in Vyshhorod district, which Bolshakov renamed after the seizure into the parish of "All Saints of the Ukrainian Land".

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that OCU "priests", who did not know how to make the sign of the cross, fell into disgrace at the UOC church in Ladyzhyn.
