Yarosh spoke about this in an interview with Censor.net.
“This is an example for you - last summer we captured a priest of the Moscow Patriarchate as a fire spotter. He was with us for about a month doing community work, together we built a gazebo near the headquarters, we did good things. When he said goodbye, he came up to me, hugged me, thanked me for taking him prisoner and went to the monastery of the Kyiv Patriarchate. What can you do in a month!” - said Yarosh.
He is sure that you need to communicate with people and you need to carry out outreach work in order to change people’s worldviews.
“We need to communicate. I saw that this was possible when we liberated Avdeevka, Peski, Karlovka, and Netailovo last summer. When I talked to people from near Saur-Mogila in Stepanovka, when they saw that the “Right Sector” was here and these were ordinary normal people, a break in stereotypes immediately occurred. It was the same with the prisoners. They fought against monsters, but here, it turns out, there are normal people, including Yarosh. They thought that I was sitting in Kyiv, directing from there and giving orders,” said the leader of the Right Sector.
Earlier, Dmitry Yarosh said that he supports the revolution, but opposes bloody riots. He believes that revolution should be a thoughtful step.
Yarosh boasted that he had "re-educated" a "separatist" priest.
