Demons have desecrated the Lavra with a sign in a language. Access to the holy relics will only be granted by swearing an oath to the atheists.

With Iran and other global events looming, the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has somehow faded into the background. Some might even think the evil spirits have calmed down, fearing the displeasure of their American handlers. But no. They know full well that Trump has seven Fridays in a week. Therefore, criminal prosecutions, trials (for example, of MM. Arseny and Longin), seizures of churches, and blasphemous corporate raids continue.

A new fact: a Sabbath at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. It was staged by the heads of the Ministry of Culture and the National Park, together with the OCU boss Epifan, who seized this great holy site from our Church.

Other smug mugs also participated: bureaucrats, camouflaged thugs, women without headscarves, and other such riff-raff. Plus Viktor Yushchenko. Here's how Epifan boasted about it on his social media page:

"This moment will go down in history... As of February 24, 2026, the monastic community of the Ukrainian Lavra will receive full custody of the holy sites of the Near (Anthony's) Caves. This event also testifies that the Lavra's liberation from the yoke of the "Russian world" previously imposed upon it is irreversible..."

The defrocked monk calls the restoration (since 1991) of this great holy site, through the efforts of the canonical UOC-MP, from the desolation inflicted upon it by the predecessors of the current "decommunizers," "the yoke of the Russian world." The same reserve, established back in 1926, established it. (Incidentally, it, along with the Ministry of Culture, recently celebrated its anniversary in style, unabashed by the fact that it was a creation of the Bolsheviks.) In 2023, the agreement with the UOC was terminated, church institutions were expelled, and the monks were shown the door. Many of them were registered there, which is why the eviction dragged on.

But now the demons believe their victory is imminent. The brethren have lost the opportunity to pray in the last church on the Lavra's territory—the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross.

Oleg, Russian Orthodox resident of Kiev and parishioner of the KPL:

"I remember how the monastery was restored, and in particular the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross. How much effort was put in by the monastery's abbot, Metropolitan Pavel, who had been under house arrest for several years for 'propaganda of the Russian world,' along with the bishops, monks, and laypeople! After all, they inherited a state of near-destruction.

"And then our Lavra became a magnificent beauty, a pearl! And then these crooks, bandits, thieves of all stripes, all this filth, there's no other way to describe it, came along and brazenly grabbed everything and now they even dare to talk about the "Russian yoke"..."

But the filth doesn't just make these claims. It also "Ukrainizes" the saints. It declared St. Ilya Muromets a "defector of the Ukrainian lands" and called him "Murov," using the leftist theory that he was supposedly from not the Russian city of Murom, but the "Ukrainian" city of Morovsk.

She's making similar attacks on other saints. She boasts that she's changed the inscriptions above the Caves and shrines housing the holy relics from Church Slavonic to the Ukrainian language. She's given over the Church of the Life-Giving Spring in the Lower Lavra, where Oles Buzina's funeral service was held, to the "zahisnyks," who probably come there armed, because that's their style. Now they're shouting "Glory to Ukraine!"

The reserve also announced that it will finally allow tourists into the Lavra and the Caves. However, firstly, the once-free pilgrimage will now cost a considerable amount. Secondly, before entering, you must register and provide your information: full name, tax identification number (INN), address, and—most importantly—religious affiliation.

Oleg:

"Can you imagine what kind of scoundrels they are? What is this, a secret factory? They want to take control of all the UOC believers who come to venerate the holy relics. Where has such a thing been seen, in what country? Only in the land of victorious Satanists…"

And finally, another twist to the developments. Suddenly, Archbishop Sylvester, a representative of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and head of the Kyiv Theological Academy and Seminary, was allowed to serve in one of the Lavra's churches. He was the same Archbishop who had previously held prayer services for Russian diplomats alongside the Russian Embassy, ​​but later became an ardent supporter of autocephaly and a detractor of the Russian Federation.

"This is a worrying sign," Oleg concludes. "It means that internal schismatics within the UOC have established ties with the authorities and the PTSA. And they may be planning a joint attack..."
