mass arrests of the ukrainian intelligentsia began, in particular, in january, 19 people were arrested in lviv and conducts dissidents in the ukrainian liberation movement in kyiv further in our material vasyl stus ivan svitlichnyi vyacheslav chornovil iryna kalynets stefaniya shabatura yevhen sverstyuk mykhailo osadchii and leonid plyusch this is a far from complete list of people who were arrested in the soviet union on january 12, 1972 and tried under the article of the criminal code of the ukrainian ssr, anti-soviet agitation and propaganda, as well as the spread of slander about the soviet validity, were punished by 7 years in prison and five years in exile just for defending the ukrainian culture the presidential movement was based on a violent principle, the dissident movement was not so massive. that is, it was not postponed by intellectuals and, in principle, it began as the movement for the protection of

ukrainian culture, gradually gaining some more political images, but even this is the struggle of the dissidents for the protection of ukrainian culture, which they, for example, tried to to do in principle within the framework of soviet legislation, the imprisonment of those people by the french ended in january 1972 , the kdb sent a special message to the secretary of the central committee of the communist party of ukraine about the beginning of the block operation, it was adopted in order to prevent the involvement of well-known ukrainians, and the rest continued during 1972-1973, according to researchers, during this time, about a hundred ukrainians were arrested. thus, it tried to break this movement, which was one of the largest in the territory of the soviet union, but achieved the opposite result of radicalization this year in the camps of the dissident movement participants intersected with long-standing comparisons by the bandera residents, as

communication with whom once again radicalized the dissidents more and more clearly the rest of the dissidents already wrote out demands not just for the protection of ukrainian culture, actually for ukrainian independence, which further exacerbated the struggle for ukrainian independence, which ukraine restored in 1991 , a complex struggle for the development of ukrainian culture, language and awareness of ukrainian identity, even despite a respectable age, often with compromised health after imprisonment dissidents continued their struggle, individuals such as levko lukyanenko vyacheslav category iryna kalynets very actively included already in this new stage and directly were involved in the fact that ukraine regained its independence in 1991, some of them became active politicians, vyacheslav chernov led the then most powerful political party narodnyi rukh, some of them became deputies in 1990, and despite the fact that they were a minority of the opposition national opposition in in this parliament, they managed to avoid decisions that are

capitally important for independence , unfortunately, nowadays in ukraine they do not care too much about the well- being of people who often did not spare their health or life for the independence of the state so recently it became known about the plight of a member of the dissident movement and the death of a journalist, vasyl ovsienko, who was in the hospital and needed help, so the people's deputies of ukraine are currently trying to pass a law proposing amendments to the law of ukraine on pensions for special services to ukraine, so that fighters for independence would receive additional help and were in a great hurry with this project and forgot about it, and every day these people who will finally receive this kind of material compensation from the ukrainian state become is getting less and less, and the need for those who remain alive, unfortunately, unfortunately, is only growing, we can talk about about five thousand hryvnias, that is, what she will keep instead of the one and a half or how much she is currently receiving, that is, in principle, in fact, this

amount is very small but i am sure that we need to move in this direction because, unfortunately, you know, even in the 31st year of independence, one of the key problems is the lack of understanding that in general we have to pay something to those people, the bill has already been passed in the first reading next week, the document is planned to be considered by the committee on social policy issues and later in the walls of the parliament khrystyna parubiy espresso tv channel is all the information as of this moment, the next issue is not to be missed at 12:00 andriy sachuk and lesya vakulyuk will continue the informational broadcast of espresso just now cinema television , sport, music, education, the free have a choice, choose

only social networks, but also the news feeds, were flooded with messages from oleksandr usyk, such an athlete, if you know who he is boxing fm is doing so, well, now it’s just winter , the winter period, he is there, yes, and he is so shorter, he launched such a boxer who is noted for his such controversial statements from time to time, eh, until recently. recently , he realized that the russian world is bad or before that, he was somehow drawn there , but it is clear that when the representatives of the russian world visited his yard, surrounded him and in his house, he understood that it was not quite yes, but the prophetic world . he made a statement and actually made such a direct broadcast on his instagram where he explained a little what he thought about it and said that he remains faithful to the uoc

of the moscow patriarchate with metropolitan onufry, but wants the uoc of the mp to celebrate from scoundrels who follow the instructions of russia, here are his statements, he believes that these are not fathers . and those people who came to work for the enemy's team. how about you? indeed, he recognizes who the enemy is in command of. what and who really prays to god sincerely, here is the question. well, i think that it will take time and mr. usyk mr. usyk will then make some kind of statement again, the editor asks me if we will listen, but no, i'm there, he talks about it for a long time, it's a pity, it's a pity for our broadcaster that in 8 minutes he talks about it all or 11 even says that began his interestingly address in ukrainian and then say now i will switch to russian so that i have more people to understand, i don't really know which people he wanted to understand him. are those in ukraine or those in russia, because i think that in ukraine, in principle, everyone understands ukrainian, even if it is they do

n't talk yet, but on the way to that well, i'll tell you, he's really interesting, because we need to talk about how, uh, how did moncart go, or are ordinary people thinking about it all? well, because you know, if well, we don't expect a boxer deep thoughts about there church for everything it happens of course well, of course, there are all kinds of sports victories and so on. on average, we are not very interested in what such famous people think about it. again, here are people like usyk who still want to remain faithful to the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, is this a problem and do we have to explain to such people and do we need to explain that after all this church is this a problem for the security of ukraine. i think that there are two questions that should be answered. the first is

usyk's case. yes, we see that now the moscow patriarchate has activated various opinion-makers who are trying to convince ukrainian society that everything is okay with this church. and not only usyk is doing it, i have come across video recordings of, say, the ukrainian military who say that they are defending the ukrainian state, but they are loyal to this church and it all looks like a very well-planned action, that is, uh, well, against the background of these various threats that the church felt up to the point of a complete ban , and they talk about it, and the majority of society supports it, we see these uh, such serious strategic studies , literally the last sociological study that i saw was the fact that only about three or up to 5% of people associate at all without this church, that is, they activated such opinion-makers. usyk is apparently a quite popular person in certain ukrainian circles, eh,

and that's why this is what is happening right now it is worth explaining to people, yes, of course, it is worth it , and i think that this law, the constitutionality of which was confirmed recently, states that this church is obliged to indicate its affiliation with the moscow center, this is one of those very important steps, because the majority of people who visit churches of this denomination, in principle, they do not realize that these temples directly belong to the jurisdiction of the moscow patriarchate. especially here in western ukraine, i know of several places where this affiliation was never indicated even before the war, so that is patriarch kirill was not commemorated there, the ukrainian orthodox church was written on the churches, and people went to these churches with peace of mind, if they point this out and somehow correlate it with this sociology that people do not want to be associated with this denomination, then

this will contribute to a very serious outflow of believers . from this denomination, and not always in the church, a lot of people simply leave the church looking at what their leader, patriarch kirill, says, that is, what russia is doing in ukraine, all these atrocities that we see on the live air, so a lot of people, i think, will simply leave the church and have already left, for sure, yes, this is actually, for this church, this is a very serious situation, that's why usyk appears . beautiful, where is this town near kyiv, which also survived the occupation in the spring and last year, and where is the beautiful father taras vala, who is actually a couple, to whom we send congratulations if i suddenly see us, and what did i want to say that, for example, they bought with lesya there more than once i want us a little it was a long way to go. well, this one wanted to say that sometimes you can see that people come there simply because they live nearby, that is, they are not

catholics, they are most likely orthodox, but the pilgrims come simply because a good church has a shorter service and they simply find it convenient to come in and that's it. in addition, it must be said that in addition to religious services, church life is also held there, where people are shown some documentaries about the history of the church. that is, it is a cultural center , that is, cookies, where children gather, where in chat draw easter eggs when is easter where in the chat how to decorate a basket well, that is, there are some such and applied and enlightening and it is also attractive for people because it is also a kind of pastime and besides all that, some kind of acquaintance of the community with each other, and those who really come there are not those who went to the greek-catholic church or not those who were baptized in the greek-catholic church or in general those who were not baptized at all but this i understand you that just the location itself sometimes decides a lot, that is, who simply belongs to these temples and why, for example, the church that is now

supports, as you say, four or how many percent are ready to say that they are faithful to this church, why does it belong to the majority, the majority of parishes in ukraine now, er, formally yes, er, that is, they call the number 12,000 communities, if we exclude here, let's say, the occupied territories and the crimea yes, it is less than 10. i think that now the number of parishes between the orthodox church of ukraine and the moscow parish in ukraine is approximately the same, why are the majority yes, well , this is a trend that we have had since the time of kuchma, yes , that is, back in the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s or let's say that viktor yanukovych is the ex-president of ours, or should he not even be called a president today? it was just such administrative assistance in the creation of these communities, it does not mean that they exist in reality, they are registered, that is, and in us for registration of communities does not require many people

, a dozen is enough, and a religious organization is a legal entity, a religious organization is already registered, that is, registered parishes, this does not mean that they actually exist, how many are there? i think that the statistics are actually those who it wants to affiliate itself or affiliates, it is more true than what we know there is a square bush method, we will measure what they say , there is this church in this village, which means the whole village belongs there, it is generally a very interesting case . and let's say that the majority of the village votes for the transition and there remain a dozen and a half people who refuse, and then the uoc-mp often says that all those who voted have never actually gone to church. well, what about you for 30 years? they said that you have a whole village there, you know , millions of people walk, and now when they vote, you already say that these are no longer your parishioners

. the religious affiliation of er ukrainians and supplementing this your thesis that you talked about the fact that people often go to the nearest temple. are there not greek catholics there? well, it is worth understanding that ukrainians are quite er secular in our society statistics regularly attend services about 10% of the population. that is, of course, it depends on whether it is the west of the country or the east, but if you know how to spread it all over ukraine, it will be 10% in the villages, up to 20%, and in the cities - it is less, that is, these people who come to the greek of a catholic church, let's say in vyshgorod, this does not mean that they were orthodox, became greek catholics there or vice versa, these people very often did not go anywhere, but at some point they may feel a certain religious need or some spiritual need and they are impressed by this church. they are leaving, this does not mean that what is happening is that you know the flow of the faithful that is there. there were

millions and they migrate somewhere there, that is, after the communist past, ukrainian society is quite specular, that is, even within the framework of europe, you know, i am not russia, even more so - it is colored, that is, but that is another topic e- despite the fact that our society is like a separate church and a separate state of a separate society, but this historical holiday liturgy for christmas in the kiev-pechersk lavra actually belongs to the orthodox church of ukraine, probably even ardent atheists were happy that this it happened, and if you look at the facebook feed on that day, people who were indifferent to the church there or somehow lived separately there and did not pay attention to it, they posted photos or videos or wrote, god, finally, this historic moment has happened.

i suggest watching a little bit of enlightenment about how the kiev-pechersk lavra fell into the hands of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, how it happened for our viewers and for you , and then we'll discuss it. and one of the first ukrainian monuments included in the unesco world heritage list , all this about the kiev-pechers lavra, it was founded in the 11th century. for 100 years before the appearance of moscow , for centuries there was a monastery here, but during the soviet rule, the lavra was turned into a museum, a reserve, the church returned here only in 1988, in 1991, the ukrainian orthodox church separated from the russian orthodox church, which retained spiritual and administrative ties with the moscow patriarchate. at first, it owned a small part of the lavra, but in the mid

-90s, the brothers were led by the vicar pavlo and the territory the monastery began to expand in the lavra , large-scale and often illegal construction work began, however, which was protested by museum workers, there were quarrels and curses. you cursed the museum with your cheek. three people died . i turned people around. in the evening, you will die all the time. mykola azarova gave the uoc mp free and indefinite use of 75 objects, in fact the entire lower lavra. obviously, this was thanks for the correct position of the moscow patriarchate, which in numerous elections de facto received viktor yanukovych and the party of regions always visited the lavra during their visits to kyiv, and vladimir putin generously financed the monastery and praised the brothers for preserving the so-called spiritual connection between kyiv and moscow

. motherland great russia , the lavra itself never became a national spiritual center, but the love of luxury of its leaders and overly generous donations from politicians , businessmen and sometimes just criminality scared away for others, the business activity of the monastery, which actually owns a travel agency , hotels, shops, and restaurants, and of course the cult of the russian world, which did not disappear even after the full-scale russian aggression , the rakoboist who became a laureate, curses at representatives of other religions and confessions rang out in the monastery, struggled with identification codes and called to escape from the coronavirus pandemic, communion in the church, especially the

epidemic and sin, enter the church, do not look at the older generation, the younger generation everyone hurry to the church at the end of 2022, the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine completed the validity of the contracts for the holding of services in the assumption cathedral and the refectory church of the main churches of the lavra on december 7. on christmas day in the assumption cathedral, for the first time in many decades, a ukrainian liturgy was held. the primate of the orthodox church of ukraine, metropolitan epiphany very it is important that a sincere prayer for ukraine was and will continue to be heard in the lavra today, and that no one will speak ukrainian to someone else in the lavra in the rightful glory of the taboo in the lavra and already officially registered their monastery as a legal entity, however, the monastery needs premises or whether to provide them to the psu, the cabinet of ministers has to decide, so for a

few minutes, they included the history of the church, which is interesting. putin tells what he is like, how he prays so terribly believes in god when there was no god in the soviet union well, but we understand that this is a tool, in fact, this whole church and this union with russia once an acquaintance who admired yanukovych said what do you want from the president, the president was good, he went to church, he prayed to god, and you are complaining about him, the kiev pechersk lavra has already happened, the historical liturgy has already taken place , and what will happen to the pochaiv lavra, which is now, svyatoslav shevchuk says that it once belonged to the greek-catholic state, two words. not everyone there is just from the ternopil region, now they are looking at us, well

, that is, it is historically also a great shrine, which is related to it, it was there for a long time and was developed precisely as a greek-catholic they took away the spelling there in the 39th year , rather in the 45th year and handed it over to the patriarchate, and now there is just some kind of stronghold of muscovite sentiments in the middle, well, right in the middle of the border of galicia. about the fact that the greek-catholics have their own interest or, let's say , their desire to return this shrine, or whether they will share here with the right of the glorious church of ukraine, whether there will be any disputes again between us. we know that in our history it often happened that they could not share something between themselves. yes, this is a very difficult question , in fact, it is possible at first, and i will say something, er, historically, the pochaiv lavra, it became a part of the russian church a little earlier than the other
