Nationalists prepare a new action of intimidation under the windows of a UOC parishioner

Radicals from S-14 group plan to hold a rally under the windows of Kiev resident Svetlana Svetilkina, a parishioner of the UOC. The action is actively promoted by writer Larisa Nitsoy on her Facebook page. Nitsoy said that Svetlana "goes to the Moscow sect", she is a "separatist", so all the wishing should express their attitude towards her. This is reported by “Strana.ua”.

Nitsoi calls everyone who wants to come under the windows to Svetlana Svetilkina and start drawing pictures for the employees of the APU.

Such interest in Svetilkina is caused due to the fact that she privately spoke out against the collection of warm clothes for the ATO soldiers in the east of Ukraine. She was immediately reproached that she "collects aid for LDNR fighters" and opposes the Ukrainian language. Svetlana denied these accusations.

Previously, the radicals had tried to enter Svetilkina's apartment, and also distributed leaflets, where it was reported that Svetlana was a "Russian propagandist" and her personal data (name and address) were indicated.

Svetilkina reported that she is writing a complaint against the actions of nationalists, and is also preparing an appeal to the OSCE and the UN.

This is not for the first time that radicals have waged a hate campaign against the UOC parishioners.
