Pershy Kozatsky journalists reported that Maryana Tomin, the head of the commission inspecting the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and director of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture, failed some internal inspection and was dismissed from her position.
Her name has been removed from the contact information on the department's website.
Maryana Tomyn also oversaw the transfer of the Trinity, Transfiguration, and Assumption Cathedrals in Chernihiv from the religious communities of the UOC to the 'Chernihiv Ancient' Reserve.
As reported by the UOJ, Tomin had previously announced an "inventory" of the relics of the Kyiv-Pechersk saints.
