And only if we ourselves would not leave a trace of the russian world in ukrainian society, if putin did not perceive ukraine as part of the russian world, for this we would have to abandon the mass use of the russian language by ukrainians, which is not popular. On stage, in cinema , russian culture as native to ukrainians, and most importantly to ban the activities of the huge network built by the Russian Church in ukraine. We began to do this, the president and the parliament appealed to Saint Bartholomew with a request to provide tomos, Orthodox Church ukraine received canonical autocephaly, and the Russian Church in ukraine became non canonical, but continued to work. I can confidently say that if it were not for the activities of the russian Orthodox Church, there would not have been a war, because it is the church of patriarch kirill. This is the preparation of the genocidal ideology of the russian world, the promotion of violence, the imperial plans of the kremlin, and of course the encouragement and justification of the war itself. After 2019, these voluntary ambassadors of russkamir in ukraine felt the power again. Even now in the 10th year of the war, and a year and a half after of a fullscale invasion, my draft laws on humanitarian decolonization and banning the activities of the Russian Church in ukraine, i submitted them last year, but they are still blocked. Now i will read to you. The definition of the ideology of russka mir, which we propose to define and prohibit. The russkamir ideology is a russian neocolonial doctrine based on chauvinist, nazi, racist, xenophobic religious ideas, images and goals of the destruction of ukraine, genocide of the ukrainian people, nonrecognition of sovereignty of ukraine and other countries, which aims at the violent expansion of the russian supranational Imperial Space , as a way of realizing a special civilizational. Right of russians to mass murder, state terrorism, military invasion of other countries, occupation of territories, expansion of the canonical territory of the russian Orthodox Church beyond its borders the territory of the russian federation, etc. So while the russian world feels so free in ukraine, and while the Russian Church continues to obey this undersanctioned gondyaev, uses ukrainian shrines, putin will always have the illusion that they continue to wait for him in kyiv, and therefore, from putins point of view, the war should be continued, but what illusion is this, i will tell you a few stories that will help you understand this. The blitzkrieg tactics planned by the russian general staff predicted that the aggressors army would be at the kyiv sign at four in the evening on february 24. The rapid strike almost reached its goal, but the invaders retreated to the suburbs of kyiv, gosstomil, irpin, bucha and borodyanka. Blitzkrieg failed, the russian army tied up in battles. Invaders killed their people on the civilian population, mass executions, nonhuman tortures became the true signature of the russian world. Borodyanka was under occupation for 38 days, foreign delegations still come here, and not for political tourism. No photos and videos convey the scale of the disaster. It can be felt only here, in the town, which the aggressor turned into solid ruins and pain. Houses, playgrounds, kindergartens and parks, a kindergarten were destroyed, the house was destroyed, and the ego is gone. Shot shevchenko in the center. Recognized now all over the world. This monument became the bull of ukrainian insubordination. Even in those terrible times of mass murders, ukrainians could not be intimidated. Volunteers broke through the occupiers checkpoints, carrying the most necessary food and medicine. Tetyana zarytska, Svitlana Fedorova and roman ganaba were one of these groups. March 29 was already our fourth trip. We were able to drive through boredyanka, we were stopped twice. And when we were returning. It turns out, we see in front of us russian equipment, a large crew, dogs, us they took us out like that, collected passports, and then they said, lets get in the car, go for the armored personnel carrier, if any car leaves. From the column, then the car would be shot by an armored personnel carrier, and we did not know where , where they were taking what, and they drove us to the church, we were lined up under the fence of the church by cars, supported by military equipment, and at that moment father viktor came out of the church, with some by a man, well, not in a typical form, well, i understand that these are special services, and he told us that we were detained, that a special check would be conducted on us. It will take about a day or two, for this one moment said father place people. The church has become a place where the Village People turn to for help. The abbot, father victor, helps, takes parishioners to the hospital, gives out food and warm clothes. There are snipers on the perimeter and, god forbid, someone from this column will disappear, there will be trouble for everyone, unbelieving people have heard, heard how our ukrainian soldiers greet a friend. Let hitler this is normal, a person who does not. Has a negative attitude towards the russian occupiers, will not walk hand in hand with them, i saw how he walked with the occupier by the hand, i will tell you this, if the troops had come here in the 16th year, you would have been greeted with flowers, we had to somehow inform our relatives that we are alive, i found such a sign, yes, i wrote on one side, that we are alive, everything is fine with us, father victor passed on this note and said that it can be passed on, that is, only. With his permission, well, if father was a victim, he would say, lets write everything, write everything, where are you, what , what do you see, do not worry, i have an opportunity, i will pass, no, we were allowed to write 10 words, there was even such a thing that i she said, let us go, he, you will be shot, liars, what is the lie, there is no one here, they were simply saved, they were simply brought here in order to save them , you understand, so that they would not be fired upon, now they are pointing the finger at the father , and they walked, cleaned beehives, read books, drank whiskey, kotsap, yes, they exchanged kotsap for cigarettes, so that they would later show that , yes, we really saved our lives here, well, such a priest, well done , because in 16 it was necessary to support yanukovych, and not in 14, he 100 believed, giving such frank interview that russia is here for all. Yes, and here a month passes, but russia is not forever, the Moscow Church scolds us, against us, all the time they spoke and talked about the fact that we were muscovites, just according to our canons churches, we commemorate the moscow patriarch, this church, you dont take it for a church, because you were kept here by force, i tell you seriously, i will not go, i dont, no, i will not go there, in fact, the personal story of viktor talk and the Russian Church in borodyanka, this is only an illustration of a much bigger and more dangerous one history, how in 30 years the russian Orthodox Church in ukraine has evolved from agitators of the russian world to terrorists , publicly campaigned for yanukovych, he always supported the party of regions, and russia is our brothers and sisters and we need not to oppose them, but to accept them with love. The lord commanded to love not only friends, and therefore it was a kind of psychological preparation of ukrainians. To the fact that russian peace will come soon and it must be accepted, as he said in one of the interviews with the russian channel with flowers. The dramatic history of the occupation of borodyanka, the collaboration of a moscow priest, prompted the community of the archstrategist Michaels Church to transfer to the ocu. Who is for, who is against . But here a new story began. Away from moscow. Look, moscow provocateurs have come here. Viktor talko registered a limited liability company, the center of spiritual development, and issued land and a temple for it. Goodbye, gentlemen, whats going on here . This lady, who introduced herself as a lawyer of a newly registered company, is trying to disrupt the filming of the church prisons im a lawyer, dont we have the right to come in here . No, you come in, but you didnt come in, you chat, you shoot, with whom, your client, are you chatting . You will say that a lawyer, if you are a lawyer, you can make a claim, if you have clients, if you dont have a client, then why are you asking us that we are you speaking for one client, and i represent the community. In fact, the community has already moved to ocu. The community did not authorize her, she was authorized by the society, the society that happened to the owner of the temple, simply cannot, must not fool, you understand, the lawyer represents the interests of a russian priest who, despite the initiated criminal proceedings, is trying to keep the land and property. Not your own, the community that built this temple, in fact, this is the behavior of a common raider, you are imposters who cover themselves as journalists, but this is a common tactic. Moscow is trying to maintain control over its property in ukraine, over its checkpoints. They are going to come back here. Few people talk about this out loud, but the russian Orthodox Church in ukraine is a huge landowner, the amount of it real estate can be envied by the richest people. Today i will tell you a very interesting story about the richest Public Organization in ukraine. This Public Organization participates in the war against our state, supports russian aggression, and sanctions have been imposed on its leader. But only here in kyiv, she owns 1,520 hectares of land, in fact, the land she uses is much more, because there are private lands, there are Communal Lands that are given to her for use and no one controls it, what kind of organization is it, it is called russian the Orthodox Church, it operates not only here in kyiv, but throughout ukraine, and in this film we will tell you the story of this organization and those who do not want to ban it. Churches. Who of the patriarchate in the capital are on lands of different ownership, the least in private land is only five, another 26 plots were provided by the kyiv city council, it can return them at any time, it would be great, but no one knows the true state of affairs, because as many as 96 land plots under the churches of the russian Orthodox Church owned by unidentified persons. Thats how much about 100 Land Acquisitions she once made the kyiv council for the moscow patriarchate, during the total power of the party of regions. How did it happen . This happened during the full term. Chernovetsky, as well as popovs tenure from the party of regions. 99. 9 of the decisions were related exclusively to the russian Orthodox Church. It is no secret that for many years the Moscow Church had a state protectorate. The odious exabbot of the kyivpechersk lavra, metropolitan pavlo lebid, was himself a member of the government, a deputy of the kyiv council. When the regionals left, so did their allies from the moscow patriarchate have become more careful, as in borodyanka, they register real estate with private individuals whom they trust. This is an insurance policy, even if people go to the ocu, then without temples. Sometimes churches dont register at all, like this bad taste in the center of kyiv near the olympic stadium. Yes, we all see domes, crosses, but the public cadastral map claims that this is a residential and office center. The owner of the land, the eugene society, the ultimate beneficiary, the main sponsor of the russian Orthodox Church in ukraine, protodeacon and businessman vadym novinsky. And how much such property is throughout ukraine . The state of this i dont know, although i should. But there are those who know, we are going to lviv. The agency ngl media has done a fantastic study, they have created a map on which they have plotted all the lands that are owned or used by the russian Orthodox Church. The Editorial Office of ngl media is located in the center of lviv, in an old austrian building. Our money is lviv. This is a team of journalists. They are headed by the wellknown lviv editor oleg onysko, the main tool of their work is open information, various state databases, public registers. Oleg, how did the project idea come about . The idea arose against the background of the fact that in february of this year the Verkhovna Rada was actively, well, discussing the adoption of a law on limiting the activities of the uocp. It passed the Parliamentary Committee and somehow it got stuck, we then thought, well, it would be interesting to see what it has church, and how did you calculate that some, and we calculated, well, very simply, we took a list, asked our colleagues from viewl, to download all legal entities, where it is mentioned, well, where there is the word orthodox, after that we took this list, well, we cleaned it from , the kyiv patriarchate there, autocephalous, there are many independent communities , old believers, well, that is , they cleaned this list as much as possible from those who are not in the pcp, only those who in one way or another mention o in their name remained, right . And if there are, for example, i know such cases when the Russian Church, and the land is just plain and the buildings themselves are registered just for natural persons, that is also a problem, but there are the words of the orthodox, of course, and this is a problem here on these maps it is not indicated, because it is exclusively what is extracted from the ukrainian registers, which a part of what you discovered is in state or communal property, plus or minus, about half is communal and state property, here is an example of an infographic, in cherkasy, yes, 96 is communal property, whether in sums or on transcarpathia, we see. How many actually are there in chernivtsi region, also most of the communal areas are in chernivtsi region, for example in odesa region we see 258 hectares, thats it. 97 of which is communal property, yes 97 is communal property, the same kharkiv region, well in the end we see there even lviv region, yes, there is only 1 hectare here, but we see that it is the smallest amount in ukraine, yes, but, well, even of this 91 is communal property, the journalists of the agency investigated how many temples are used by the Russian Church in ukraine, i was struck by that , that it is far. All the temples, the largest temples in kyiv that we all know are in the center of the city, this map does not even appear, how many there are in fact, who knows about it, the state service for ethnopolitics and freedom of conscience, they are not there we actually have this information on our territory a huge army that no one even explored, thats where real scouts would be needed. Lviv, my constituency, my homeland. When i read about lviv, i was very surprised when i learned that even in the 50s, people who came here mainly from russia and other regions of the former soviet union were more than 50 , the local population was a minority, the most popular among the russians in lviv there was a church on korolenko street, where we are going now, and it actually operated until this year, until this year the community gathered and decided that the church will transfer to the ocu, to the Orthodox Church of ukraine. This church is for everyone, and for catholics , catholics go to the Orthodox Church, and the orthodox do not have any rights in ukrainian. Freedom, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, glory to christ, glory to god forever, mr. Mykola, i welcome you to our church, the church is beautiful, i have been here before, sometimes it was scary even to enter when i was here another church, now the Ukrainian Church, how difficult was this transition and why did it take so long . We understood that this is the most Important Church of the moscow patriarchate in the lviv region, because a bishop served here, many priests served here, it can be said that it was the center of the Russian Church of the moscow patriarchate in lviv. But we see, with such a manifestation of the will of the community, the manifestation of people, ukrainians, and the fifth. April of this year, on the 23rd year, the Community Voted to transfer the Orthodox Church of ukraine to the Ukrainian Church, every sunday, when you serve the liturgy, you see that there are more and more people, new ones who come, who actually give thanks, a recent case last week a woman comes, and he says, my mother led the choir here for 25 years, i am actually very grateful that it happened so, that the church became a Ukrainian Church, before i became a rector here, i served for 13 years in the church of the holy mother of god in the center of lviv, and in fact a different mentality, a parishioner, because when communicating in the uzben church, you talk to people there about certain matters, they still think, they can still make some corrections, they can still debate with the priest. To beat and here is completely different, here the priest said it all. Father oleg said one very important thing for me if in the Ukrainian Church a priest is a representative of the community , he is one of the community, he is a person with whom you can debate, ask questions, be interested in something, sometimes disagree, then in the Russian Church everything is different, there the priest is actually an officer, a senior officer, and what the parishioner will or will not do depends on what this senior officer says. Moscow priests were expelled from the churches or the Communal Land they used in lviv, khmelnytskyi, rivne, ivanofrankivsk, shepetivtsi. All this in just one week. But the provocateurs in cassocks did not stop. In bukovina, in the village of zadubrivka, in april, they did not allow ivan nazarry, who died on the front, to go to the church to mourn, although the community of the village, which 4 years ago switched to the Orthodox Church of ukraine. Despite this, the priests of the russian Orthodox Church. They were never given to the temple, just like in borodyanka near kyiv. It is in bukovina that one of the most aggressive and dangerous networks of the kremlin is currently operating. We came here to chernivtsi in the evening to meet with mykola griglyuk. Mykola worked in the department of religion of the chernivtsi regional administration. Mykola and i have known each other for a long time, he was born in the village of verkhny yaseni, verkhovsky district of ivanofrankivsk region, and i often visit there, i host the viya karpatia festival. I remember when mykola went to the front, even then it was called ato. He was seriously injured, contused, we were relieved because we found mykola in chernivtsi, when he came here on a shortterm vacation. Greetings, good evening, you are in uniform now, yes, where do you serve, in the valkyda battalion, the rest, a long, long time ago, from the very the beginning, and you were contused, had health problems, well, not quite contused, because for me a contusion is when a person is excluded, he was as if unconscious, and the fact that there was a little throbbing somewhere is not a contusion, well you lost your hearing, well, sat down a bit, yes, i looked at the map on the ngl media website, and there chernivtsi. Region is one of the leaders of ukraine. Why are there so many Russian Churches and russian communities here . Religion became a factor that helped govern the region in the 1940s and 1980s. From the territory of bukovyna, well, from western ukraine in general, there was always the largest number of students in the spiritual schools of the former soviet union. It was the same army, only an army. With slightly different weapons, weapons, words, methods, all kinds of cunning things , how to control the masses, and a lot of bishops came out of the chernivtsi region, a lot of clergymen came out, i remember how you went to the courts, fought with it , i even know that you were persecuted for trying to organize transitions and stop the activities of the Russian Church, starting from. Initiation of criminal cases under the pretext of threats of physical violence, attempts to release me with the help of representatives of the president s office in 201920 , an instruction was given to the then leadership of the region to release me, bring me to justice, it was trofimov who was in the office at that time the president who was involved in this, he personally came here , the representatives of the diocese came to him , they spoke to him personally, i was personally summoned to the Regional State administration, they told me to stop my activities, because there will be it is very bad for you, why does the state not dare to stop the activity of this church, especially now, because unfortunately , there are a lot of moscow agents and sympathizers in the authorities, but the essence of the problem is in the authorities, i will finally discuss this when he met with mykhailo pavlyuk the next morning, it was Serhiy Trofimov who came to remove him from the post of regional head, and the odious nikita also complained about him, because literally a year before zelskys election , the land of bukovyna almost fell from the feet of the russian Orthodox Church. The situation began to change from the 18th year, when ukraine received the tomos, when we received the Orthodox Church of ukraine, by the way, the first visit in the status of the head of the Ukrainian Church of the blessed epiphanius. Exactly to bukovyna. When you were in charge of the executive here, how many such transitions were registered . We did the almost impossible, we did 32 separate transitions, it was very difficult discussions, conversations, it was crazy pressure, firstly political, secondly, so purely personal, honey, that was carried out, after you left office , acting, how many transitions were there . For the whole this period from the end of. The year to the 23rd year there were six transitions, from chernintsy we left for hutsul oblast, it was here in hutsul oblast that i met mykola gregliuk, the village of verkhnya yaseniv, verkhovyna, here in ivanofrankivsk oblast , it would seem that they should be completely different problems, because ivanofrankivsk region is, after all, galicia, not bukovina, where there are many. Russian churches, but here too we face similar problems. We will not only talk about this now, the continuation of mykola hryhoriuks story is extremely interesting. In fact, this is the beginning of a new story. Temple holiday in the carpathians it is always colorful and bright. Hutsuls are dressed in festive costumes, men hold embroidered fans in their hands. The whole village came to the church, many priests came, but this time it was a holiday. In the upper ash tree, it is not the same as usual, except for the colored threads with which hutsul clothes are embroidered, they are not happy in their souls , they meet the Church Without mykhailo gregelyuk, who two years before the invasion was ordained a priest and, together with his father, also mykhailo, served in the church here. We must prove that we are not slaves, but that we are free men, as god created adam and eve in 2018, i already filmed in this church, then we made a series of films about the hutsul churches of the verkhovsky district. It happened that they got into the church just in time for the veil. There were a lot of people, they served the panehid near the stele to the Fallen Soldiers from this village. Father mykhailo, his son mykhailo, son mykola was also here then, the future victim, these are soldiers who put their lives on the battlefield. Five years have passed, we are again at the grave, again talking about the dead, this time also about mykhailo. Glory to jesus christ, glory to ukraine, thank you very much, dear fathers, for today came to the church and held a Memorial Service for the innocently killed, priest, chaplain mykhailo, my son. He died innocently, but his comrades are aware of this death, and these damn muscovites, who want to enslave us all, will not be able to do this, because every death, no matter who dies, a hero warrior inspires other warriors, their comrades, to break this muscovite army, destroy them, otherwise they want to destroy us as a nation, we know this well, that is why the price is so high, the late mykhailo, as well as his older brother mykola, after the invasion back to the front. As a ukrainian, tamara hergerlyuk is proud of her sons, but as a mother, she would like a different fate for them. Do you know what mykolas first lullaby was to which he fell asleep . There were many lullabies, but this was his favorite, play the cossacks are leaving, maybe really, if i was there , i sang some lullabylullaby to him. Its very hard, its very painful that my children are fighting so actively, i would like my son to be near me, to help me with a serious illness, instead of them being there, but me here. Tamara from remembers with bitterness, mykhailos last journey home, somewhere along the way, still in bukovina, a parishioner of the russian Orthodox Church, having learned that the deceased was a chaplain of the ocu, cut her off, as he should. It is a few kilometers from us, we communicate with them, we cross paths in our daily life at the bazaars and so on, people sometimes say unreal, not such things, well, that is just strange, you know, once i was in a store in vyzhnytsia, and the salesman in all seriousness , he convinces me that all the Orthodox Churches are closed in the verkhovsky district, he does not know that i am from the verkhovsky district and says, what about you you know there is no word of god there, the Orthodox Churches are closed there, i say, you know, three hours ago, at least in yasinov, it was open, because my husband was doing the service, and i was busy, then it was open, because i entered the door, and people really believes why propaganda, propaganda has an extremely great influence, and that bukovyna , even gotsulshchyna, was not completely free from the russian spiritual occupation, already after the invasion, the late mykhailo gergelyuk, together with his brothers, came to help the community of the moscow temple in verkhovyna to move to Ukrainian Church. Earlier, the hutsuls also liquidated the roc in the village of holovo. Do you think that the existence of the Russian Church in our country was one of the reasons for the start of this war . Without a doubt, without a doubt, but how, why . Well, because the church holds the power, the government holds the church, and you understand, if they, conduct politics through it. The church, the church inspired the new people, inspired them into the sanctity of the russian power , the sanctity of the russian power, well, because it is part of their ideology, the autocracy, that is why it is human, and people believed in it, believed and they believe, well, they dont have real thinking, lets put it this way, i have quite such a hard character, a prohibition, a complete prohibition, further than anyone who wants, well, dreams. In russia, speak russian
