Believers gathered here on the third anniversary of the demolition of the tent temple. Priest Oleg Sirko pitched a church in a tent near parliament after his temple in the Ternopil region was seized shortly after the victory of the Orange Revolution. However, three years ago, the church-tent near the Verkhovna Rada was demolished under the “blue and white” government, citing the fact that the church did not belong here.
The organizer of the religious procession, Valentin Lukiyanyk, in a conversation with a Navigator correspondent, said that it is from the Verkhovna Rada, in his opinion, that the main evil in Ukraine is now spreading. According to him, now it is necessary to pray that blood will not be shed on the streets of Kyiv. “We don’t want this war, we are against the war that is now going on in Ukraine,” one of the believers told the correspondent.
