Nationalists demand from Government to take away Pochaev Lavra from UOC

Radicals require that the Cabinet of Ministers should revoke documents on the transfer of the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra

Radicals require that the Cabinet of Ministers should abolish the documents of 2003 on the transfer of the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, reports the "Right Sector" on its Facebook page.

"At the anti-oligarchic March of the nation's force there was a place for an important demand, namely, to force the Cabinet of Ministers to abolish a number of criminal documents of 2003 on the transfer of the Pochaev Holy Dormition Lavra into the hands of Moscow "priests". The initiative of the "Right Sector" was supported by other nationalist organizations," write right-wing radicals.

On March 3, the "National Corps", VO "Svoboda", OUN, "S14" and other nationalist organizations held an anti-oligarchic march in Kiev.

Earlier Ternopol deputies had already voted to take away the Pochaev Lavra from the Church.
