I don’t think that was necessarily the cause of the murder, simply Russia for centuries professes sectarian hostility to dissent and cruelly pursues it.
 
In Ukraine, some educated people are also moving away from the Church, especially outraged by the Church as a strong weapon of Pro-Putin power.
Many intelectuals there have no respect for people who, in their view, have made charlatanism a matter of life and profession.
People do not want to pay for Gundyaev’s or Chaplin’s jewelry out of their pockets, but they have to do it as a taxpayers.
The organization, which became famous for alcoholism, depravity, greed, became an anecdote and a parable, for some reason she decided that it was she who should teach morality.
There are intelectuals who believe that the material well - being, cottages in Gelendzhik, golden watches, fat priests on Mercedes-and, in general, no other reasons for the existence of this organization there.
For the skeptics of intellectuals who have moved away from the Russian Orthodox Church , religion is business. Their product called “grace” needs no tatooeing, no warehousing, are not subject to inspections. It is a solid parasitism in all its forms. There are huge amounts of money spinning and nothing fall under taxation.
Where did you get tales of Holy Russia?
Sinners from many countries of the world go there to sin, for all sins are available, accasible ,cheap and unpunished.
I think that not only in Russia but also in Ukraine there are people atheists who are not against spirituality but against ecclesiological mafias, in the political-colonial-expansionalism mission.

Yes Jharek, the Ukrainian army grows stronger, grows at a high price but grows stronger.
It is important for any army to have a weapon, but even more important to have leadership and management.
I am personally a peaceful person, but logic and realism make me rethink my pacifism.
The former head of the Greek Catholic Church, Metropolitan Andrew Sheptytsky, was a great thinker , and he believed that for the army is very important to have trained generals, because without them there will be no army, and without the army there will be no statehood.
Ukrainians have once allowed themselves to be disarmed but then paid very dearly by the dispossession, deportations, holodomor’s.
The government which does not care about protecting its borders and weapons - tempting God.
The historical books of the Old Testament are the books about the “Warrior/Military God.”
In libraries persisted medieval prayer where priest bless the sword.
In theory, we all agree that the “good” must defend themselves and establish themselves by force.
Hardly any of us on the street will allow to rob or to beat a disabled person or an elderly person.
At the domestic level, we know that the woman who kills the rapist does not kill the person and above all she kills the rapist first of all.
In English language (in other languages as well) there is a difference between “to kill” and “to murder”.
The commandments of God start not from “thou shalt not kill” but from the condemnation of sins.
I repeat once again that I am a peaceful man, but what do you think about my arguments? Aren’t they significant?
We do not live in the desert, and we live in a state and are his subjects.
When Putin tries to prove that there is no Ukraine, there is no Ukrainian statehood, that Russia has no borders, do you really think that a country like Ukraine will accept this?
 
Yes, Ukraine also unfortunately the same as Russia, has become a country of so-called sex tourism, sometimes people are demoralized, there are vices and alcohol abuse, but after all most Christians in the West have sympathy to Russia precisely because of misconceptions that the people there sanctified by the symbol of faith, and Russia - is the Third Rome.
In fact, I think that Ukraine is a more religious country than Russia, and several countries in Eastern Europe are much more religious than Russia.
I think that even if we compare the vices of society , in Ukraine there are fewer.

Russian president planned invasion of Ukraine before 2004 – Putin’s ex-aide

According to Putin’s former adviser, the Kremlin was planning an invasion of Ukraine and Crimea’s annexation long before the Revolution of Dignity

Russian president prepared invasion of Ukraine before 2004, so the Euromaidan became a perfect excuse for Russia to invade Ukraine, said former adviser to the head of the Russian Federation Andrei Illarionov in an interview with Apostrophe, Joinfo.ua reports. According to him, the revolution in Ukraine has changed the plans of the Kremlin.
“There have been several attempts to implement the plan [to invade Ukraine and seize Crimea – Ed.]. The first attempt took place during the Orange Revolution in late 2004-early 2005, but the low level of preparation of this operation had forced the Kremlin to postpone it,” – said Illarionov.

Trump urged to sell $50 million in lethal weapons to Ukraine

National security officials are urging President Trump to approve the sale of nearly $50 million worth of U.S. weapons to Ukraine, which has confronted what it sees as military aggression from Russia and pro-Russian separatists for years.
It was unclear whether Trump, who has been reluctant to challenge Russian President Vladimir Putin, will approve the plan.
Congressional and State Department officials said Monday the weapons proposal had gained traction in the National Security Council. The officials asked not to be named discussing internal deliberations.
At the urging of Trump’s then-campaign manager, Paul Manafort, the GOP platform was watered down at the Republican National Convention in 2016 to remove a call to sell lethal weapons to Ukraine — a position long favored by the Republican establishment and ultimately by the Obama administration.
It was later revealed that Manafort had worked for pro-Russian Ukrainian leaders opposed to U.S. support for the government in Kiev. Manafort was indicted last month on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent, money laundering and conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty.
The weapons sale under discussion would likely include Javelin anti-tank missiles and other high-tech weapons that go beyond defensive arms, a State Department official said. Some details of the package were first reported by ABC News.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has repeatedly urged the Trump administration to supply Ukraine with weapons. Doing so would garner bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.
“It is long past time for the United States to provide Ukraine the defensive lethal assistance it needs to deter and defend against further Russian aggression,” McCain said in a statement. “As long as the status quo remains, Russia has no reason to change its behavior, and we should only expect more violence and more death.”
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), another member of the Armed Services Committee, wrote Trump last week to urge stronger support for Ukraine.
“The military land-grab Russia has launched in Ukraine is unprecedented in modern European history," he wrote. “Our response should include lethal military hardware as part of a broader effort to help Ukrainians defend themselves and deter future aggression."
Congress has already approved up to $500 million in assistance for Ukraine and its defense, though not specifically for lethal weapons.
Ukraine’s pro-West government has been battling pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine since forces loyal to Putin annexed Crimea in 2014. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-pol-ukraine-weapons-20171120-story.html
