Head of Women's Self Defense of Maidan owns up to her biased attitude towards the UOC

Chairwoman of NGO “Women’s Sotnia (Hundred) of Self-defense of Chernigov” Lana Koroleva shared the fakes disseminated by media about the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and acknowledged her dislike for it at the anti-church press-conference held by  “Ukrinform”.

"The fact that in our Chernigov churches of the Moscow Patriarchate there are prayers "for health, a long life and victory for Putin" is no secret. Looking through the newsfeed, I do not find for myself – maybe it's my prejudiced attitude – that a priest of the Ukrainian (Kyiv – Ed) Patriarchate would hit someone by his car when drink-driving, or die at 26 years from an alcohol overdose or sex in a sauna," shares Lana Koroleva.

When the moderator made an attempt to return the participant of the "appeal of ATO participants" to the issue of "anti-state activities of the UOC-MP in Ukraine" and to tell what the situation in Chernigov region in this respect is, the chairwoman of the "Hundred" pondered for a while, but did not give a single specific example: "it is exactly the same as throughout Ukraine". She separately noted her participation in the provocation action “bring a toy” to a temple.

The activist furnished an example that in countries where Islam is practiced, "there is no such proportional ratio of Orthodox churches or whatever else to mosques. Indeed, they have respect there for all people of other religions that live in their territories, but there are no 95 Orthodox (churches) to one mosque. And in our country it is right on the contrary."

”I’d like to cite another example: in 2014 after the Maidan Ruslana Lyzhychko organized an action ”prayer for peace in Ukraine” and the city of Chernigov was chosen as our extreme northern point," Lana Koroleva said. At the same time, two weeks of negotiations with the priests of the UOC "did have any results absolutely"; they did not agree to "some get-together" and refused to participate in the action.

"That is, there were all denominations, there were, sorry, as I call them, sects – some of the seventh, eighth day – all of them! There was not only the Moscow Patriarchate," complains the Maidan “centurion” commander.

Recall that in Saudi Arabia it is forbidden to publicly profess Christianity, and all citizens of this country should be Muslims. Holding worship even by citizens of foreign states or the transition to Christianity of their citizens can be punishable by death. The situation is not much better with the ratio of minarets and churches in countries where the majority of the population today professes Islam. Many Christian churches were rebuilt into mosques or became museums and tourist sites.

After TSN had fanned its report on the death of the priest in the sauna in February 2017, the spokesman of the UOC said that Archpriest John Kornuta died as a result of a thrombus rupture, and not in the sauna in Brovary, but in the park in Borispol.

Only over the 2017year Ukrainian mass media have released at least four resonant news about drink-driving with road accidents, priests of the Kyiv Patriarchate who were caught twice, who escaped from the police, hit people by cars and even armed priests, but outlets publish such news silencing what organization those ”bloody drunk priests” belong to.
