Expert: If UOC KP is restored, Epiphany will become the naked king

Epiphany has suddenly changed his attitude towards His Beatitude Onuphry

The fact that Epiphany Dumenko on Victory Day approached His Beatitude Onufry is not accidental, says blogger and religious expert Alexander Voznesensky. The handshakes and smiles of the head of the OCU to a person, whom he had recently spoken about very unpleasantly, have a hidden meaning.

“If we allow the option of restoring the UOC KP, then Seryozha (Epiphany Dumenk – Ed.) will be the head of the non-existing structure,” writes Alexander Voznesensky. 

The expert believes that in the event of such a development, the UAOC (which also has not been legally liquidated yet) will also come out of the new structure and will exist autonomously, as well as before the “Unification Council”. As a result, Epiphany Dumenko "will prove to be a commander over several hierarchs and it is not known at all whether or not he is a commander".

Therefore, Alexander Voznesensky concludes that Epiphany is looking for possible ways of retreat in this situation: “Maybe we will still see an interesting comedy with crocodile tears and stories that in fact he has always felt respect for Metropolitan Onuphry at heart, but the evil Filaret did not let him voice this.

Earlier, Epiphany Dumenko stated that "Metropolitan Onuphry is absolutely devoted to the Russian state".
