A photo of the mosaic "indestructible unity of the USS (the “Ukrainian Sich Riflemen”), UGA (the “Ukrainian Galician Army”), and UPA (the "Ukrainian Insurgent Army”) under the omophorion of the Most Holy Theotokos, located on the pediment of one of the bell towers of the UGCC temple in honor of St. Nicholas in the resort city of Truskavets, Lviv region, was published on the Web. The photo was posted on Facebook by historian and publicist Vasily Rasevich.
“This ‘trinity’ symbolizes the indestructible unity of the USS-UGA-UPA. Different contexts and even opposite ideological benchmarks are not accepted. All of the three are under the omophorion of the Mother of God. Stamps should be simple like praising the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. One doesn't need to understand them. One can only believe in them,” Rasevich writes, commenting on the ideologically colored mosaic in the temple.
As reported by the UOJ, earlier the MPs from the ES faction rendered a song about forest devils, Satan and Lucifer.
