Clampdown on UOC KP in Crimea: how Kiev Patriarchate is thwarted to make money
In the middle of July a lot of Ukrainian outlets released outright publications that the authorities in the Crimea literally throw the Kiev Patriarchate out of its premises which place an active Cathedral at 17a Sevastopolskaya Street in Simferopol. Yet is it actually so as it is highlighted by the Ukrainian media?
Now we are approaching the most interesting point – how EXACTLY the Kiev Patriarchate used these premises.

Russia: Pistol used to execute Nicholas II exhibited in Moscow museum
A Colt pistol with which the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, Nicholas II, was killed in 1917 was showcased at the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia, in Moscow, on Tuesday.
Nikita Anikin, academic secretary at State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia (Russian): We have exhibited a Colt pistol that belonged to Mikhail Medvedev, one of the participants in the assassination of the Tsar family. This is indeed a very tragic episode. However, Medvedev handed over the gun to the Soviet Museum of Revolution and felt no confusion when describing all the details of the assassination in the letter he attached to the pistol.
Vladimir Medinskiy, Russian Minister of Culture (Russian): Today is the 100th anniversary since the day Moscow authorities decided to open the Revolution Museum. I would like to wish that the museum and all of us Moscow authorities would never have a reason for such actions in the future and would never create museums of revolution.

Denshchikov Vladimir Anatolyevich
Denshchikov Vladimir Anatolyevich
Was born on July 1,1952 inKiev, a graduate ofKievTheaterUniversity(1974). Starting as an actor in 1975, he worked his way up to director and artistic director of the Simferopol Crimea Maxim Gorky Academic Russian Drama Theater. Since 2007 he has taught acting and directing techniques atSimferopol'sInstituteofCulture. Vladimir Denshchikov was awarded the title of Honored arts worker of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and People's artist ofUkraine. In 2009 he received anARKprize for the achievements in applied art.
Vladimir Denshchikov paints his icons with the blessing of the clergy; many of his artworks were blessed by the Metropolitan of Simferopol and the Crimea Archbishop Lazarus and his spiritual father, Rev. Sergius, arch-priest of the beacon church of Nicholas the Wonderworker. Before painting an icon, Vladimir Denshchikov keeps a fast.
Denshchikov's icons are distinguished by a remarkable atmosphere of light, kindness and peace. They are executed in macramé - a technique, applied by the painter for over 30 years. His recent icons have been created using his own patent hand-made fabric.
Vladimir Denshchikov's icons are hand-knotted with linen threads (0.5-2 mm), with each knot being tied in hand, without needles and crotchets. Denshchikov does his artworks in one copy in accordance with the church canons, with each piece numbering several million knots. This technique is unique and has no analogues in the world.
An icon of 40 x50 cmin size takes the artist from 3 to 6 months to execute. It took him 14 months to create an icon of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky, which is made of 9 million hand-tied knots. The saints' faces are painted in oil on the linen canvass.
Denshchikov's artworks were exhibited in Germany, Austria, Ukraineand the Crimea, some of his icons are kept in private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Czechia, Hungary, Germanyand the United States. In July 2010, Denshchikov's icon of Tenderness was presented as a gift to His Holiest Patriarch of Moscow and All-Russia Kirill.
The scholar of Orthodox Christian iconography L.A.Uspensky wrote about innovative styles in iconography: this icon, if its iconographic theme does not, of course, contradict the Orthodox teaching, i.e. is not heretical, may serve as a ground for the appearance of a new type of canonic icons, i.e. be accepted by the church. Denshchikov's icons are executed in accordance with strict canons.

Community leaders on referendum; pro-Russia rallies; expats join Kiev rally
In a referendum watched closely around the world, residents in Ukraine's strategic Crimean Peninsula voted on Sunday on whether to demand greater autonomy or split and seek to join Russia.
Crimean Christians who follow the Ukrainian Orthodox Church were unsure what the future will hold for them if the referendum returns a 'Yes' vote.
The church is just one of several groups who believe remaining in Ukraine is preferable to being part of Russia.
Some of those fears are based on recent events.
Members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have disappeared and their archbishop believes they have been snatched by pro-Russian 'self defence' units.
In the Simferopol's church of Saint Agnes and Saint Vladimir, a small congregation gathered for mass on Sunday morning foregoing the opportunity to vote.
They said the referendum was illegal and they will not be taking part.
Archbishop Kliment said he felt abandoned by the Ukrainian state, and if annexation by Russia becomes a real possibility, he will renounce his citizenship.
The sizeable minority of Crimean Tatars also denounced the referendum and many have stated publicly they will not be taking part.
Tatars make up around twenty per cent of the population in Crimea.
Speaking at a news conference in Simferopol, Tatar leader Refat Chubarov said many of the people voting were the children of those who lived in Tatar homes after the community was deported en masse to central Asia by Stalin.
He vowed that whatever the outcome of the vote, they will not be moving again.
Election commission chairman Mikhail Malyshev told a room full of mostly Russian journalists the turnout was high.
Malyshev read out a report prepared from polling stations across the territory at noon (local time) after four hours of voting.
He said all was going well with no reports of irregularities.
Meanwhile, thousands of pro-Russia demonstrators gathered in Ukraine's northeastern town of Kharkiv to show their support for the Crimean referendum.
Old red Soviet Union flags were displayed alongside the red, blue and white flag of the Russian Federation, which was carried across Freedom Square.
Anatoliy Pohribynak, one of the many holding the large flag, said Russia played a key role in providing jobs for the residents of Kharkiv and maintained the local economy.
While hundreds of anti-riot police protected local administration building in Freedom Square, demonstrators distributed fake ballots to hold their own version of the referendum.
We are holding vote for economic federalisation, the people's government and language sovereignty, explained Stas, a pro-Russian demonstrator who was giving out the fake ballot papers.
In Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, hundreds of pro-Russian demonstrators gathered in Lenin Square to demand a regional referendum of their own.
Demonstrators shouted Referendum. Referendum and waved Russian flags.
Violence has escalated in Ukraine's east over the recent days, where demonstrators stormed the administrative buildings.
At least one person died and 17 were wounded in clashes in Donetsk on Thursday, as pro-Russian protesters clashed with supporters of the new Kiev government.
On Friday night, two people were killed and several wounded in a shootout that erupted after a clash in Kharkiv between pro-Russian demonstrators and their opponents.
Foreigners living in Kiev joined Maidan activists in Independence Square on Sunday, as the nation waited for the outcome on the disputed referendum in Crimea that will decide if the region stays part of Ukraine or joins Russia.
Kiev's international community marched through the square holding flags of different nationalities, as locals applauded to speeches made on the main stage.

Unidentified gunmen remain outside Crimea's main airport on Friday night
Unidentified gunmen remained outside Crimea's main airport in Simferopol into the night on Friday.
The sudden arrival of men in military uniform patrolling key strategic facilities has prompted Ukraine to accuse Russia of military invasion and occupation - a claim that brought an alarming new dimension to the crisis.
Russia kept silent on the accusations but confirmed that armoured vehicles from its Black Sea Fleet were moving around Crimea for security reasons as the crisis deepened between two of Europe's largest countries.
Ukraine's interior minister said earlier on Friday that Russian navy troops were blocking access to airports in Simferopol and Sevastopol.
According to the Interfax news agency, however, Ukraine's security council chief, Andriy Parubiy, later insisted that the airports were still under Ukrainian control.
Meanwhile, Ukraine International Airlines said it had cancelled flights to and from the Simferopol airport on Friday evening and Saturday because of the closure of the airspace over Crimea.
The announcement did not say who had ordered the closure.
A woman answering the Simferopol airport passenger help line said the airport was not closed but that all flights were cancelled due to the situation in Crimea.
At the airport, the dozens of armed men in military uniforms without markings patrolled the area.
They didn't stop or search people leaving or entering the airport, and refused to talk to journalists.
Any Russian military incursion in Crimea would dramatically raise the stakes in Ukraine's conflict, which saw pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych flee last weekend after three months of anti-government protests.
Yanukovych vowed Friday at a news conference in Russia to keep fighting for the future of Ukraine, though he called any military action unacceptable.
While Kiev and western Ukraine have risen up against Yanukovych, he remains popular in the Russian-speaking eastern and southern regions, where economic and cultural ties with Russia are strong.
The majority of Crimea's population are ethnic Russians, and Yanukovych still enjoys widespread support there.

Lavrov: Did we forget barbarian NATO aggression against one European country (Serbia) in 1999?
The United States, regarding Syria, even publicly insults Russia, accusing Moscow of war crimes despite the fact that the U.S. bombed Yugoslavia’s civilian targets, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview for the documentary I have made up my mind. Yevgeny Primakov for Rossiya 1 television channel.
When the greatest patriot of his country, a very experienced politician, a great public official, a person with a huge intuition, with encyclopedic education, with understanding of various processes, learned that the United States decided to start bombings of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, he did not see for himself an opportunity to continue business as usual, fly to U.S. Vice President Albert Gore for important, but rather routine talks, Lavrov said.
The U-turn became a reminder that Russia can’t have a mission in the world other than defend its truth, do it jointly with other powers, but certainly achieving equal relations and mutually beneficial agreements, he said.
The aggression against Yugoslavia was certainly aggression, Lavrov underscored. By the way, it was the first armed attack in Europe on a sovereign state after 1945.
If we are talking about that, now, against the backdrop of what is going on around Syria, our Western partners, first of all Americans, and Brits too, are in their hysteria reaching public insults, using such words as ‘barbarism’, ‘war crime’, he said.
I will recall that the aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was associated with attacks on a huge number of civilian facilities, by the way, Serbian television, bridges that civilian passenger trains traveled on, and much more. Thousands of those killed, several hundred children out of them, 250,000 refugees that no one has recalled since, Lavrov said.
He said that if Russia, in the person of Primakov, had not reacted in the way he reacted to that gross violation of international law, then we would have probably long not forgiven ourselves for that, and our history would have contained another unpleasant page.
He did it in such a way that Russia showed its character and took the only right position as of that moment, Lavrov said.
Primakov, born on October 29, 1929, was a Russian politician and diplomat. He served as the country’s prime minister in 1998-1999. During his career, he also served as foreign minister, speaker of the Soviet Union’s Supreme Soviet, and intelligence service chief.
On March 24, 1999, Primakov was flying to Washington for an official visit. When his plane was above the Atlantic Ocean, Primakov got to know that NATO had started bombing Yugoslavia. The politician decided to cancel the visit, ordering the plane to turn around and headed back to Moscow in a maneuver, which was dubbed Primakov's Loop.
Primakov died on June 26, 2015 at the age of 85 after prolonged illness.
