Ukrainian people with Ukrainian Patriarch Filaret celebrate baptism of
Ukraine-Rus Day. Ukrainian prince Volodymyr of Kyiv who converted to Christianity in 988 and proceeded to baptise
Ukrainian people.
Ukrainian Orthodox church has 14 million belivers.
About 5,000 Ukrainians attended Tuesday at a religion procession against the visit
of the Moscow Patriarch Kirill to Ukraine.
Is Moscow Patriarch a believer?
He is a lier. His speech to Ukrainian people is full of lies, a falcification
of the history of Ukraine. It is insulting for Ukrainian people.
He lies that "brotherly" Moskovitians were baptized together with Ukrainians in 988.
Moscow did not exist in 988. He lies about the Holodomor of 1932-33 in Ukraine, about the role of Stalin, who
was responsible for the death of millions of Ukrainians. He lies that Ukrainians do not need Independent Ukrainian
church.
His speech about ascetism makes people wonder about his belives because
he owns the watch that cost 36,400 euros.
Ukrainian people understand that Moscow Patriarch is trying to steal their history.
Fat chance for Moscow cunning hypocrite and lier!
The Plagiarism of Moscow Patriarch Kirill.
The idea of slavophiles is not new, as well as idea of the unified "slavs
russian people". In the XIX century slavophiles were talking about chosen Russian people.
And now Moscow Patriarch Kirill uses this imperial idea applied to political situation
in Ukraine. He uses dissatisfaction of Ukrainians who were not admitted into the EU. He compared "the slavic world" to
Western world.
The ideas of the XIX century ideology of Russian impialism artificially applyed to
the contemporary political life. How ever he attributes them to himself, which is only plagiarism.

On August 5, 2009 Kurull finished his visit to Ukraine. His speeches to Ukrainians
contented the disinformation and lies.The next day after Kirill's trip Russian church officials lie again. On August
6, 2009 Russian church official said at a news conference in Moscow "There is no real opposition to the Russian
church today".
It is a lie! Ukrainian church has 14 million believers. It is a big opposition
and it will be grow.

Medvedev's letter to Ukraine's President Yushchenko is filled with political populist
declaration and demands. His letter contained the radicalism of his approuch to public, a casual approuch to public,
the use of pseudo-historical references. Eventually it was a poor speech about nothing. Public felt that he is upset about
his failure of his last own project. He wrote his bizzare letter because he felt that he may loose his political power in
Russia. He tryed to make an impression on Russian public.
Also his speech contains a greatest threats againts Independence of Ukraine.
