UOC hate-monger cannot tell Russian from Old Church-Slavic

At the in-house UOC church of President Poroshenko worships are performed in the “Russian language”. It was claimed on air of Lviv TV channel Zik by political expert Oles Doniy who had apparently mixed it up with the Old-Slavic language.

The political expert told that there is a UOC temple on the estate of the President which he “saw with his own eyes,” he affirmed.

Doniy called on MPs and civil servants to boycott the UOC and thus to show “their own example” to the faithful who are unwilling to make a transition to other confessions.

“Currently they have (UOC – Ed.) 50% registered communities out of the total quantity of Orthodox communities. This is a huge number. They are also available in Western Ukraine. Following the aggression over 70% left the UOC denomination. It is about 10 thousand communities,” admitted the expert.

Earlier the UOC Primate His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev and all Ukraine explained “we have services both in the Church-Slavic and Ukrainian languages. One prayerful part of a divine worship is done in the Church-Slavic language. This is a language of prayer. In our state there are regions where Ukrainian is spoken as native and other regions where Russian is dominated. As for the Old Church-Slavic language, it integrates all parts of our state.”
