Viktor Yelensky, the head of the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience, said that the authorities had planned the reconstruction of caves in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. He stated this to the Big Kyiv publication.
“They are examining (the commission of the Ministry of Culture – Ed.) building by building. We remember how notices were hung on the Lavra churches: ‘Here we don't pray for schismatics and Uniates.’ Now, thank God, this is no longer so. It remains for the specialists to do an additional examination, take it into state ownership. And then after a certain reconstruction – because there is a need for reconstruction, for example, caves – it will be decided how the monastic life will continue,” said Yelensky.
As the UOJ reported, earlier the head of the State Ethnopolitics stated that the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra belongs to the state, which allows to serve in it.
