“The Patriarch twice appealed to religious leaders, politicians and human rights organizations about the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra,” TASS said after his speech at the Youth Educational Forum “Territory of Meanings.” – The first time, about the Lavra itself, the second time, with emphasis on the arrest of Metropolitan Paul, and the second time there were already more recipients. So far, from what I have seen, only the Serbian Patriarch has reacted (since the [православные] Patriarch Kirill also sent a letter to the Church), and to the Pope, as for the first time.
“This is a kind of monstrous silence,” Legoyda described the reaction of those to whom the patriarch appealed, stressing that “so far we have not seen other responses.”
