In Nikolaev nationalists beat UOC believers (VIDEO)

On September 6, in Nikolaev, nationalists from the organization "Sokol" and activists from the party "Svoboda" gathered near the church of the UOC under construction to prevent building. The believers of the UOC came to protect the future church. As a result, there was a conflict that turned into a fight.

Shouting the slogans "Get out the Moscow priest!", the activists began to break the wooden foundation of the church. The parishioners of the UOC tried to prevent them.

Activists sang the anthem of Ukraine, while the UOC faithful sang religious songs.

The police had to come twice to the scene of the conflict.
