Kirill Govorun recognized as a foreign agent in Russia

Kirill Govorun, a former cleric of the Russian Orthodox Church who has been defrocked, has been added to the list of foreign agents in the Russian Federation. The relevant order was published by the Russian Ministry of Justice. This was reported by the Ministry of Justice website.

According to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, “Kirill Govorun disseminated inaccurate information about the decisions made by the public authorities of the Russian Federation and the policies they pursue, as well as about the Russian Orthodox Church.”

We will remind you that Kirill Govorun recently spoke about the reasons why the Ukrainian Orthodox Church refuses to comply with the state’s demands to sever canonical ties with the Russian Orthodox Church. Govorun believes that the UOC is afraid of falling into schism and losing its subjectivity in world Orthodoxy.
