On the harassment of a Russian speaking child by “OCU atheist”

In a kindergarten in Bila Tserkva, Iryna Savchenko-Kyseleva told a “Moscow-speaking” child (whom she mockingly labels only as “the IDP girl”) that the little girl “hasn’t learned to speak yet” and that she “can’t understand her.” Addressing the other children, the activist added: “I can’t make out what she’s saying, ha-ha. She’s speaking wrong!”
In the end, the woman demanded that the director “re-educate” the child.
“With this approach, the IDP girl will quickly learn Ukrainian. Because Ukrainian unites Ukrainians,” concluded the activist – who, incidentally, is known to be close to Farion.
The text unleashed a storm of reactions online. Some supported her. Many, however, condemned her harshly, pointing out the obvious: bullying a small child does not “unite” anyone – it sows division and hostility.
But let’s focus on something else. In her new video message, Savchenko-Kyseleva proudly announced that she had received the OCU’s “Cross of Freedom” award for her “struggle” against the UOC.
Yet, as the footage clearly shows, the activist doesn’t even wear a simple cross. And judging by her social-media posts, she has no interest in religion whatsoever. Meaning her award from Dumenko was given not for faith or piety, but for something very different, something recognizably 'OCU-esque.'
Back in the days of the UOC-KP, many critics of the UOC proudly called themselves “atheists of the Kyiv Patriarchate.” Today, such figures can confidently be called “atheists of the OCU.”
And the woman who bullies a small child fleeing the war is a perfect example of this new type.

Constantinople has never recognized Filaret as a patriarch – not “His Holiness,” not “honorary,” not under any title whatsoever. That alone makes the line in the Ukrainian presidential press service’s report sound astonishingly implausible.

The head of the OCU has his own residence – and Filaret’s residence as well. But what he needs is the Lavra, Metropolitan Onufriy’s office and chair.

In fact, the St. Theodosius Monastery has been liquidated, and now "female monasticism" will be developed there.
