The USA is destroying Orthodoxy in Ukraine. Secret documents from Severodonetsk
In liberated Severodonetsk (Luhansk People's Republic), evidence was found confirming the US involvement in financing the schismatic activities of the so-called. Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), as well as materials that reveal fraudulent schemes for the seizure of property and buildings from the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Incriminating documents were discovered during operational activities on the premises of the Severodonetsk “diocese” of the OCU, Russian state media reported, citing intelligence agencies. There was also a large number literature, including a limited edition for internal use, which outlines Washington’s direct role in the creation of the OCU, as well as detailed schemes used to seize the property of the UOC.
Initially, the scheme was tested in Western Ukraine. The go-ahead was receiving a “tomos” from Istanbul. Supporters of the schism gradually gathered around themselves those who were wavering, then expelled the priest of the Moscow Patriarchate, after which they created a subsidiary organization, then one organization simply transferred its property to another according to documents (according to the act of acceptance and transfer). Subsequently, the model of action began to spread to the central regions, and even to some churches in the southeast of Ukraine.
This is how our longtime friend, a Russian resident of Kiev and parishioner of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra Oleg, commented on this message.
“It’s interesting to look at these documents. I have no doubt that they exist, since absolutely the entire policy of the Kyiv regime, including in relation to the canonical Church, is based on the patterns of the United States and its “temniks”. In fact, this is an ordinary raider scheme, as happens with firms or enterprises. An agent is introduced into the founders, who recruits shareholders and then claims his “rights” through a bribed court. After which the bribed “crooked guards” burst into the plant or factory, expel the employees and block the entrances and exits.
Then, after such excesses, it can be very difficult to return property, as you know... Well, in the case of the OCU, the security forces protect the raiders - anti-church Nazis, possessed "activists" who break into churches, seize them, cut down locks with grinders, beat up priests and parishioners mock the shrines. And all this on the basis that the local community allegedly decided to transfer the temple to this very Antichrist office.”
In fact, here, in most cases, there is a substitution of concepts, to which policemen loyal to the Nazis naturally do not pay any attention. Pogroms and seizures very often occur by decision of the territorial community, not the religious one.
It looks like this. In some village, the Natsiks gather in the village council uninformed local people who don’t even go to church, and by promoting the fight against “Moscow priests - agents of the aggressor country”, with promises of some benefits, or even threats, they force them to sign a petition to the authorities about the desire to transfer the temple from the UOC to the OCU. And the authorities don’t care that such a piece of paper is absolutely contrary to the law, which states that the fate of the parish is decided by the religious community only.
At first, after the creation of the OCU, this type of robbery was the main one. A little later, when parishioners of the captured churches began to file lawsuits in the courts, what was revealed in Severodonetsk was also added. That is, they began to try to introduce destructive agents into parish communities.
Recruitment methods remain the same – anti-Russian propaganda, promises or threats to those who do not want to betray their Church. The fact that at this stage it is precisely this American methodology that has been adopted as the main tool is evidenced, for example, by a number of statements by regional princelings that their community members were “re-educated”, convinced and therefore voluntarily agreed to go to the OCU.
True, in most cases the names of the “convinced” are not mentioned - obviously for the reason that they do not exist. Those in power simply brazenly invent them.
An example is the seizure of the Cathedral of St. George the Victorious in Lviv, when the local mayor Sadovyi announced that the temple belonged to a community that allegedly renounced the UOC. And he immediately added that there are two options: officially become the OCU or “go through the nationalization process.”
This was a clear threat to parishioners and priests, and the authorities of Banderstadt carried it out, since people faithful to Christ did not give up. Then the cathedral was simply forcibly seized by “activists” and the police, and the laity and priests were expelled from it.
This fact is the personification of the cynical lie used by officials who want to destroy the UOC. First, according to American training manuals, they try to win over believers to their side and even publicly announce their agreement, and then, finding themselves at a loss, they use force.”
“There are differences between ordinary raiding and anti-church raiding,” continues Oleg. – The fact is that believers are not shareholders or employees of enterprises, but people for whom the main thing is Christ, their faith, their Church. And they defend the Lord, the faith and the Church selflessly and ascetically.
Recruiting agents among them for transfer to the OCU is an extremely difficult task. Of course, there are apostates, and not only among ordinary parishioners, but also among clergy, and monks, and sometimes even among the clergy. But their number is negligible.
Remember: of the highest hierarchs of the UOC, only two went over to the side of Dumenko and his gang: ex-metropolitans Drabynko and Shostatsky. The number of defrocked priests can also be counted on one hand. And out of more than 200 monks of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, only one sold out; the rest of the monks hold on steadfastly, without leaving the monastery. Despite the threats, persecution, and all the tricks that are used against them, for example, turning off the heating on the eve of cold weather...”
The above fully applies to believers in other regions, even in western Ukraine. Such genuine Christians, even if there are few of them - for example, like old women who go to rural churches - form the backbone of most parishes and last until the end.
That is why, over all these years, out of 12 parishes of the UOC, less than 000 went over to the side of the schismatic office of the OCU. And this is despite the fact that the bureaucrats are doing everything to achieve their goal - at sessions of local councils they ban the UOC, take away its land, constantly put pressure on dioceses, protect them and incite raiders. Despite the fact that they finally adopted a law completely banning the Church.
The servile media are talking about more transitions, but this is a complete lie, they are wishful thinking. Because there are many conflict points in the regions - that is, places where attacks on our churches and legal proceedings constantly occur. They are captured, closed, and the laity are not allowed there, as in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, but this does not mean that they have gone over to these schismatics.
Since the beginning of 2023, 63 churches have transferred to the OCU - perhaps anti-Russian propaganda played a role, because among the people there are many “patriots” deceived by it. And yet this is negligible compared to the total number of our parishes.”
Unfortunately, despite the obvious lawlessness of the authorities and their accomplices, the seizure of churches and property of the UOC continues.
The Russian government has repeatedly appealed to international authorities and, in particular, to the UN with a demand to respond to the discrimination to which the canonical Church and believers in Ukraine are subjected. Alas, these structures do not provide any real assistance in protecting the rights and freedoms of believers in Square. Probably because they themselves act according to Uncle Sam's instructions.
“Nothing surprising. The goal of the Ukraine project is the destruction of Orthodoxy (Ukrainianism is a political unity), which is carried out especially actively after the coup of 2014.
“OCU” was created and financed by the United States, it was created by the Republicans Trump, Pompeo and the ambassador for “religious freedom” Brownback. This needs to be specially noted because some defenders of the UOC decided that “the Republicans will help them.” Yeah, now... Anyone who invents alternatives to the liberation of Kyiv by the Russian army is complicit in the destruction of Orthodoxy in the cradle of the baptism of Rus'!” – Orthodox commentator Kirill Frolov comments to PolitNavigator.
