Yesterday morning, monks from the Kiev-Caves Lavra Fr. Gabriel, Fr. Melchisedek, and Fr. Ephraim stood on Grushevsky Street in Kiev with a cross and icons, between the demonstrators and the Ukrainian special police force “Berkut”, and stopped the conflict. They entered the arena as peace-makers, and not in support of one side or the other.

Although they were invited to join the “people”, the fathers only prayed and sang the Paschal troparion: “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life,” wrote the Ramensky deanery of Moscow on its facebook page. The conflict ceased.

As the website Pravoslavie v Ukraine (“Orthodoxy in the Ukraine”) learned, at around 9:00 a.m., clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church came to Grushevsky Street, placed themselves between the warring sides, and began to pray, calling both sides to stop their fighting and repent.

The monks have no intention of leaving until the situation has completely stabilized.

The clergymen are currently continuing their prayer on Grushevsky Street in shifts. Archimandrite Alipy (Svetlichny) wrote in his facebook page at 19:30 yesterday concerning the events:

“I just came home to change my clothes and warm myself. I am writing quickly. That is because at midnight I must return to the Maidan, which has turned all of its aggression to Grushevsky Street. From 14:00 I stood with the brothers of Desyatina Monastery at their prayer post. After 18:00 Fr. Victor, secretary of the diocese, and Fr. Giorgy, press secretary, arrived. They took my place. I am grateful to them for that, because my neck muscles stiffened.

You can’t even imagine how important it is for the clergy to stand there!

So many people came up to us (even people in masks!—secretly) and thanked us for standing there. They were surprised that we were from the Moscow Patriarchate [as opposed to the schismatic “Ukrainian Patriarchate”—ed.]. I will write quickly: my teeth are still chattering, but I have to go back.” Fr. Alipy planned to be there until 6:00 a.m. today.

The violence between the demonstrators and the special forces began on January 19, after the demonstrators made a failed attempt to break through the police cordon and enter the Supreme Rada building. Radical factions among the demonstrators began throwing Molotov cocktails at the police, who in turn took more violent measures against the demonstrators after hearing rumors that new Molotov cocktails contained liquid sodium.

I take it all those loose paving stones served their lives as projectiles at some point?

**motyak**

But seriously, pretty brave guys.

You know how you know these couldn't possibly be DKoK soldiers? He's wearing a scarf. That instantly makes him a gazillion times more cheerful and good natured then a Krieger.

Also is he wielding a "stop" sign as a shield?

For anyone wondering what the hell is happening in the Ukraine, Jerjacques succinctly explains it like this:
The protesters are angry because their government caved in to Vladimir Putin’s bullying, instead of allowing Ukraine to cozy up to the European Union. The Ukrainian president decided he would rather make Mr. Putin happy, instead of making his people happy so that Mr. Putin would allow him to remain president for a long, long time. This is important because it shows that Putin is reconstructing the old soviet empire. He once said the collapse of that empire was the "greatest catastrophe of the 20th century." Now he is laboring to rebuild it, and, as you can see with Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia etc., he is making some good progress.

Amen brother! Proper Christians following Jesus and radically putting their necks on the line for love!
To God alone be the glory!

**Mr Nobody**

You know it's serious when a knight shows up. Plus, the priests make sure everyone has a ld 10.

**Snrub**

This guy is boss as feth

Also what the hell is this? The cops are lighting Molotovs now?

**AegisGrimm**

In Soviet Russia, cops throw molotovs at protestors.

**PrehistoricUFO**

It's hard to believe this is all happening, so surreal! It's like 40K in real life!

Priests preaching in the middle of a warzone, rebellions, arbites-looking riot troops trying to crush said rebellion under their black jackboots.

**Grimskul**

Wow, gotta give kudos to those monks. Great to see the faith in practice! Soli Deo Gloria!

Have you ever played Battletech during the Jihad?

Meet the Omega, a 150ton super heavy battlemech, built by the Word of Blakeists during their defence of earth. Guess where the factories where?
That right, Moscow.

If the soviet union is rebuilt, Russia is going to reveal what ever they've been working on the last sixty years (zombie virus or mega-tanks) and Russia will dominate.
