"The Pochaiv Lavra is a 'source' of the 'Russian world' on the territory of a Stauropegian monastery in Ukraine." This is a quote from the explanatory note to the draft resolution of the Ukrainian parliament, which demands that the government terminate the lease of the complexes of buildings of the Holy Dormition Pochaiv Lavra in the Ternopil region with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (previously bearing the appendix of "Moscow Patriarchate" church).
hromadske journalist Mariana Pietsukh visited the Pochaiv Lavra to hear the parishioners' opinions on the possible termination of the lease, but she heard much more.
Also, in Ternopil, we met with Metropolitan bishop Nestor (Pysyk) of Ternopil and Kremenets, who was approved by the Synod of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (Kyiv Patriarchate) as the Holy Archimandrite of the religious organization Pochaiv Holy Dormition Lavra of the Ternopil Diocese of the OCU. At the end of March, the OCU began registering its monastery on the complex's territory. We asked Metropolitan bishop Nestor how realistic it is to evict the UOC (Moscow Patriarchate) from the monastery because of the parliamentary resolution and whether he plans to go to Pochaiv soon.
