KP priest and anti-UOC campaigner found convicted of forgery

The UOJ got into disposal the documents, according to which the man who calls himself a priest of the Kiev Patriarchate and mongering false information about the UOC community in Bugayevks village, Izium district, was previously convicted of forgery.

As the UOJ learnt from one of its sources, Igor Zelenskiy was at one time a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. But he was defrocked for “sacrilege and negligence for the priest’s oath“. He decided to join the Kiev Patriarchate.

Later on when he occupied the post of dean of KP Izium deanery, Igor Zelenskiy was convicted of large-scale forgery.
