“Maidan activists” assault the UOC speaker after the press-conference (PHOTO)
Five young men, who call themselves “Maidan activists”, tried to penetrate into the pess-conference of the UNIAN, dedicated to the results of the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church. To prevent possible provocations, the press center did not let them in. The "activists" initially had cardboard cups, filled with a red color.
The "priest" of the Kyiv Patriarchate Sergiy Dmitriev, head of the Synodal Department of the UOC-KP on social service, constantly socialized with young people. According to the UOJ source, there were people in the police uniform next to the scene, however, when Protopriest Nikolai Danilevich was attacked, they did nothing, but only laughed.
Nevertheless, the attack was unsuccessful: most of the paint spilt at the feet of father Nikolai.
