The main schismatic of the OCU has donned the garb of an "enemy of Ukraine."
Recently, the head of the schismatic OCU, Dumenko, appeared in public wearing new, very handsome vestments. The Chief Defector clearly felt handsome in them and was very pleased with himself. However, it soon became clear that they weren't his vestments. He hadn't spent a penny on them. And they weren't new, but antique.
The secret was unwittingly revealed in his delight at the occasion by one of his minions. Epifan of the Restaurant ( as Dumenko was nicknamed for setting up a drinking establishment at a monastery seized from the canonical Church ) turned out to have been a looter. He had taken the priestly vestments of his rival's heirs, Filaret Denisenko ( popularly known as Philharmonic ), along with other property belonging to the late anathema.
This occurred after the OCU, with the support of the authorities, transferred St. Volodymyr's Cathedral in Kyiv, previously the main cathedral of the "Kyiv Patriarch," under its direct control. However, Philharmonic, in turn, had once appropriated both this cathedral and other property of the canonical Church. He grabbed it, when leaving his post as exarch, including panagias and many liturgical items belonging to the Kyiv metropolitans. Now Dumenko blasphemously displays them.
"It's all natural," says our old friend, Oleg, a Russian Orthodox Kyiv resident. "After all, this isn't the Church, but a bunch of thugs. The first apostate betrayed and stole, then his fosterling betrayed and stole, and now a new round of betrayal and theft is beginning, with Epifan and Lotysh in the lead roles."
Lotysh is the only traitor among the entire monastic brethren of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra to defect to the OCU . Dumenko then made him "abbot," setting up a legal entity of the same name. Under this guise, the Ministry of Culture infiltrated the holy site, illegally seized from the UOC.
But "Archimandrite" Lotysh, apparently a carbon copy of his predecessors, has now decided to play his own games. He recently requested an audience with Zelenskyy to express "warm words of gratitude for his personal involvement in the restoration of the Assumption Cathedral," the shelling of which was clearly orchestrated by the junta.
The couple also discussed "the prospects for the full restoration of the cathedral and the further development of the Lavra." Who would have doubted that they were talking about a plundering scheme? After all, Lotysh, like Zelts, is well aware that the Lavra, now seized by greedy individuals, is, in the words of one Orthodox expert, " a magnet for budget funds and sponsorship donations ."
This visit infuriated the OCU's leader. Fearing a rip-off, he ousted his former protégé and crowned himself, his beloved one. He decided to show off his new "image" there, while also controlling the financial flows.
And more about the vestments. It turns out they're 123 years old. And they were made in Russia as a gift for one of the Kiev bishops. It was commissioned by Saint Righteous John of Kronstadt, whom the entire Kiev satanic cabal, both the pseudo-church and the ruling elite, considers an "enemy of Ukraine." Just like Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, Blessed Matrona of Moscow, Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers, and other true saints of God.
Kyiv's temporary rulers have labeled Father Seraphim a "patron of Russian nuclear weapons." Ostapenko, director of the KPL nature reserve, blathered on about this in a television interview. He expressed outrage that not only are his icons present in UOC churches, but the churches themselves are being built. And the Orthodox people don't betray their saints.
Instead of these great ascetics, the OCU hangs and "consecrates" blasphemous daubs depicting the faces of Bandera, Shukhevych, Konovalets, and other monsters. Dumenko himself even carried out these "consecrations"—for example, in the Rivne region in 2023.
"Informers are going around our churches, looking for their icons so they can report them to the SBU. They're listening to see if anyone prays to them, if anyone mentions them. And then suddenly, the entire 'primate' of the OCU is dressed as an 'enemy' saint. Where's his integrity? But what integrity can we even talk about with him and his ilk? They're just thugs and Judases, and nothing more..."
