Lutsenko’s press secretary makes a “discovery”: “two-headed” chickens nest in Lavra’s belfry
As she noticed on her Facebook page, she made a "scientific" discovery only thanks to restorers who gilded and polished two-headed chickens.
"Larisa Sargan does not know that much happened in this world before her birth, for example, “two-headed chickens” on the Lavra's bell tower nestled there in the reign of Anna Ioannovna when the architect of disgraced Menshikov, Ivan Ivanovich Shedel, was removed from the court and deported to Kiev for construction of this bell tower.
The hand of Putin in 1745 reached the Lavra! His agents-restorers sold themselves," sums up the journalist.
Masim Ravreba cites the comments of political scientist Konstantin Matvienko: "The author of this statement probably does not know about the two-headed eagles on the bell tower of St. Sophia of Kiev, which is 50 years older than Lavra and is built by Ivan Mazepa." Similarly, the author did not pay attention to the Russian imperial crown at Andreevskaya church".
In addition, Matvienko adds that the bell tower of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was restored five years ago.
