Radical Ukrainian militants are busy with the war at the front, so the adherents of the OCU in the rear must themselves defeat the UOC, “not considering them people.” The Ukrainian Nazi, former leader of the UNA-UNSO banned in the Russian Federation, Dmitry Korchinsky, stated this on Channel Five, owned by ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

The formulations about “autonomy” and “independence”, adopted the day before by the hierarchs of the UOC in violation of church canons, still do not suit Ukrainian nationalists.

The Simferopol and Crimean diocese remains under the omophorion of His Holiness the Patriarch of Moscow...

Under pressure from the authorities, the hierarchs of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate announced an emergency convocation of a “Local Council” this evening in Kyiv, where, as observers fear, a decision may be made to secede from the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Macedonian Church, which several decades ago went into schism and broke relations with the Serbian Orthodox Church, has restored Eucharistic communion with the SOC.

In Ukraine, the process of priests of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate renouncing the Mother Church continues in the hope of saving themselves from the repressions of the Bandera regime. Another significant case occurred in the city of Chortkiv, Ternopil region. There, Archpriest Andrei Kinashevsky published a letter to the city council deputies, in which he assures that there are no reasons to close the UOC-MP church - both the clergy and parishioners there are patriots of Ukraine,...

Metropolitan Onufriy of Kiev announced his intention to hold a “prayer procession” from the city of Orekhov, Zaporozhye region, to the Azovstal plant in Mariupol in order to “provide medical assistance” and “take out civilians and wounded military personnel.” This is a provocation of the SBU, in which, under pressure, the top of the UOC-MP agreed to participate, writes Aleksey Selivanov, a former adviser to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and now... in an author’s column for PolitNavigator.

“Russia is an aggressor country.” Russia – with a small letter. If this “appeal” was written by any of today’s Ukrainian propagandists, there would be nothing to be surprised at. But this is the official website of the Ivano-Frankivsk Diocese of the UOC. Perhaps the Ivano-Frankivsk bishop (until recently, who was in canonical unity with the Moscow Patriarchate) is thus trying to “prick” Russia? The attempt is dubious, Russia even...

A monument to Pushkin was dismantled in Ternopil. local media reported this, showing an empty pedestal.

Representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense, parishioners and military personnel were present at the service. “Today the word “independence” is often applied to almost all countries of the world. But this is wrong, because most countries of the world are now under the colossal influence of one force, which today, unfortunately,...

Why doesn’t loyalty to the Maidan government save the UOC-MP from persecution? Why did the Serbs of Montenegro come to the defense of shrines, but the Russians of Ukraine did not? What ironclad, century-old church principle should the Russian delegation arm itself with during negotiations with representatives of the Bandera regime? Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor at St. Petersburg State University, told PolitNavigator about this and much more...

The leadership of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate continues to try to appease the Ukrainian Nazis and delay the adoption in the Verkhovna Rada of the law on the liquidation of the “Moscow Church”. The official website of the UOC-MP published a photo report from the Chernivtsi, Rivne and Zhytomyr regions, where priests performed the funeral service for Ukrainian soldiers “who died defending Ukraine from the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.” However, the authorities seem to have decided to use “Plan B” of destruction...
