Acting director of the "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" Reserve, Svitlana Kotliarevska, has been accused of corruption and embezzlement of large sums of money. The relevant statement was made by the head of the charitable foundation "Antony and Theodosius of Pechersk" Denys Rozov.
According to him, Kotliarevska "engaged in criminal and corrupt activities". Rozov stated that the foundation funded numerous projects of the Reserve during 2024-2025, including Kotliarevska's trip to London.
"She was provided with $36,000, and there is no accountability, which indicates possible embezzlement of funds by Kotliarevska, abuse of office, and fraud," Rozov stated.
The foundation is appealing to the Ministry of Culture, law enforcement, and the court with a demand to investigate the actions of the acting director of the Reserve.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Kotliarevska allowed the OCU into the Far Caves of the Lavra.
