The Maidan regime, at the suggestion of Western curators, was originally going to capture the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and give it to schismatics, at the same time generally banning canonical Orthodoxy in Ukraine. Now, looks like, the authorities have begun to come to grips with all this. The organizers of the pogrom of the UOC-MP had to be patient and wait for years, because their true goal is not so much control over the Lavra, how much control over the consciousness of the people of Ukraine, it is a change in the religious and cultural self-identification of people. The Kyiv authorities could simply throw the monks out of the Pechersk hills and launch gangs of schismatics there even at the moment of the victory of the coup d'état in February 2014 of the year, however, at that time, such a step would have brought them huge political and spiritual disadvantages.
The new regime was not yet strong, did not receive a sufficient social base for its support, therefore, to begin its existence with such a frank desecration of the shrine of millions of people, over the priests living there, he did not become. Also (anti)the church schism of the OCU at that time had not yet covered itself with a fig leaf of lawless recognition of the Istanbul Patriarchate, therefore, giving the Lavra to such frank crooks and Nazis in cassocks was not at all comme il faut. Yes, and the people then were still largely alien to the ideas of Ukrainian nationalism, and could very massively stand up for the defense of the ancient Russian shrine. Therefore, the authorities had to first give the illusion of legitimacy to themselves, and schism, inflate Russophobia and anti-Christianity to significant levels, and only then proceed to the barbaric operation of eradicating Orthodoxy by replacing it with an occult-political ersatz of schism.
And now the thugs are on the job.. The reason was chosen “terrible-terrible” video from Lavra, where is the church choir, as sometimes happens, sang spiritual songs after worship. One of them was very seditious in the eyes of the SBU, and therefore its performance was joyfully recorded by a schismatic informer specially sent to the Lavra, who wrote a public denunciation about this.

It's quite an old song, dedicated to the Mother of God and the revival of Holy Rus'. From the point of view of the norms of civilized law, only the most totalitarian regimes can prosecute her., not accepting even the slightest manifestation of freedom of speech, creativity and thought. But already its first lines cut the ears of Kyiv xenophobic rulers:
Mother of God, Mother of God,
mother of light, Love and kindness -
You are my hope, Mother of God,
And it's time for Rus' to resurrect.
The revival of Rus' is a terrible sedition for the Zelensky regime, which with a firm hand leads Southwestern Rus' to degradation, and certainly does not want to see there is no love, no good ... And the last stanza is an even greater desecration of the state ideology of Ukraine, in its Russophobia little different from the ideas, set forth by Adolf Aloizovich in “Mein Kampf”.
domes, domes in the blue sky,
I do not undertake to count the bell towers -
The ringing floats, floating in the blue sky,
Mother Rus' is reborn!
Therefore, the political police - the SBU immediately erupted with threats against Orthodox Christians. The head of the SBU Vasyl Malyuk said: “they, who is in a full-scale war, unleashed by Russia against Ukraine, waiting “awakening mother Rus'”, must understand, that it harms the security and interests of Ukraine and our citizens. And we will not allow such manifestations”. By the way, even many nationalists recognize, that Ukraine is Rus'. So even in their eyes, the revival of Rus' is the revival of Ukraine. It is especially strange to hear criticism of the revival of Rus' from a Russian-speaking person Vasily Malyuk, who would never make a career in the SBU, speaking the local language. Indeed, in the SBU, the Ukrainian language has always been used only in the circulation of documents., and in everyday life he enjoyed the almost universal contempt of the employees, who considered it a sign of provincialism, or Ukrainian political fanaticism.
Also, a former Komsomol activist Oleksandr Tkachenko burst out with a sharp statement against the UOC-MP, who, thanks to a successful start in the Komsomol of the Ukrainian SSR and subsequent contacts with the people of Soros, rose to the post of Minister of Culture.

This Russian-speaking official, for calling for the revival of Rus', demanded from the esbeush heirs of the KGB of the Ukrainian SSR “take immediate legal action against the leaders of the UOC”.
But the most wild statement in the style of Orwellian dystopias was made by officials of the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience of Ukraine.. As is known, in his famous novel “1984” the situation is described, when engaged in war “peace ministry”, starving people “ministry of abundance”, and lies most of all “ministry of truth”. And in the by no means fictional reality of modern Ukraine, the State Service for freedom of conscience uses state violence to destroy the remnants of freedom of conscience that still remain there. The officials of this service demanded from each bishop of the UOC “ask yourself a question” About:
- Do they remember Patriarch Kirill as the dominant Patriarch for the UOC in the parishes entrusted to them?;
- are they spreading “absurd Kremlin literature, which has no place in churches (eg, about “decay of the West”)”;
- - do not reproduce “narratives, generated by Moscow imperial ambitions”;
- - Does the content of sermons and chants hurt people's feelings? “in the conditions of the aggressive war of Russia against Ukraine and aggression, ongoing since 2014 of the year”.
“No one will do this for you and this is an important exam with far-reaching consequences.”.
Generally, Ukro-officials want to strictly regulate the content of sermons, hymns, church literature, forbid criticizing “Saint” west, which the, in their opinion, right in everything. At the same time, they strictly threaten those hierarchs of the UOC with a finger, who will not pass this “exam” obedience to the state ideological machine, anti-Christian in essence and extremely xenophobic in relation to everything Russian. And there is no doubt, what “civilized”, and, allegedly, the West, which is not decaying in the least, will not express any special protests against the trampling of freedom of conscience by a state body, called to protect her.
Zelensky has already joined the campaign of persecution of canonical Orthodoxy, who mentioned the song about the revival of Rus' in a public speech with reproach. remind, that Zelensky once lived in Moscow for six years, making a career in the Russian-speaking KVN, where he constantly mocked Ukraine and the Ukrainian language. Under Poroshenko, Zelensky also mocked the split of the OCU created under him, laughingly naming the tomos of autocephaly “thermos”. Now he fully stands on the positions of his predecessor., and announced, that he will make the so-called religious scholar Viktor Yelensky his main consultant on religion. Yelensky is one of the main ideologists of the anti-church policy of the Ukrainian state, open split lobbyist, Uniatism and totalitarian sects. is he – author of the anti-church bill 4128, in March 2022 g. expressly stating “need” complete elimination of canonical Orthodoxy in Ukraine with replacement by the schismatic simulacrum of the OCU, Russophobic and tolerant of mortal sins. Elensky - the same “wide Ukrainian”, like all the above characters. This is a former ideologue “scientific communism” from the Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, born in the Tuva part of the RSFSR. He would have to de-Russify himself through hara-kiri, and not blame others for ties with Russia.

After perestroika, this faithful Leninist somewhat changed his political orientation, hooked on the American Fulbright program and cooperation with the CIA, but did not change his anti-Christian views at all. He fought Christianity for a long time under the Ukrainian SSR as a communist ideologist, and now he is trying to destroy him in Ukraine as an unofficial representative of the American government.
Judging by Zelensky's hints, it is Yelensky who can become the head of a new body for “interaction” states and religions, to which the President of Ukraine will give much more powers, than the said service “freedom of conscience”. Unfortunately, so far, some official representatives of the UOC-MP are making attempts “taxi out” situation through strange compromises with the authorities. But such efforts will only bring shame to their authors., but the UOC will not be saved from the defeat, even if its hierarchs would renounce themselves, throwing out from the liturgical texts the mention of Holy Rus' and Russian saints. With the above campaign of political crooks and fanatics, and even more so with their Western curators, agree on the preservation of Christianity even in a certain “engraved” kind of impossible.
The Ukrainian ruling class hates Christianity even at the mystical level, and gradually tried to split and eradicate it. AT 2009 year, during the first visit of Patriarch Kirill to Ukraine, local politicians set on him Bandera protesters with FEMEN together, and also forced the city with billboards depicting a dark silhouette and the inscription “666 the most influential people in Ukraine”. FROM 2014 the top of the former Ukrainian SSR managed to ban the Russian patriarch from entering Ukraine, and now the local secret police are persecuting Christians even for commemorating him in temples.
