according to the Japanese Administrative and Coordination Department. According to the census conducted on October 1, last year, the population of the country in the five years since the previous census in 1980 increased by 3.4 percent.

(speaking in foreign language) St. Jura Cathedral. For almost three and a half centuries, it served as a proof of Catholicism

00:03:13.100 - 00:03:21.100

on Slavic lands. Plans for the division of these lands were often seen here. The Vatican never looked down

00:03:21.100 - 00:04:05.100

from the Slavic East. In May 1986, for four days, Lviv was the center of the 40th anniversary of the Lviv Cathedral. In 1946, a decision was made to return the Western Ukrainian religious communities to the Russian Orthodox Church. The Brest Union of 1596,

00:04:05.100 - 00:04:19.100

which was forcibly imposed on Ukrainians and Belarusians, was abolished. The celebrations took place in St. Jura Cathedral, built in the mid-18th century,

00:04:19.100 - 00:04:34.100

and in the Pachayevskaya Lavra. At the place of the celebration, the participants, [Russian]

00:04:34.100 - 00:04:52.100

But the event, the fortieth anniversary of which was celebrated, received a response not only among the servants of the cult and the believers. This date became the milestone of not only the church history. Why?

00:04:52.100 - 00:05:04.100

What is "Uniate"? The name comes from the Brest Uni of 1596. Who are they? Puppets.

00:05:23.100 - 00:06:01.100

[ Foreign Language ] blessed his actions and the actions of his kind, called the names of the spiritual mentors, Bishop Khamyshin,

00:06:01.100 - 00:06:12.100

priests Bielinskiy, Polybius and others. And the fact that in one gang, in one union, there was fascism,

00:06:12.100 - 00:06:31.100

Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism and unionism is quite natural and logical. for they have common social roots, exploitative system, the same social functions, protection of the interests of the ruling classes,

00:06:31.100 - 00:06:47.100

and struggle against the revolutionary movement. They have one political platform - anti-communism and anti-Sovietism. The Union, like no other confessions, is a symbiosis of religion and politics.

00:06:47.100 - 00:07:21.100

The Union Church was more of a political organization than a religious one. Today, abroad, the so-called Ukrainian Catholic Church, or the former Greek Catholic Union Church, is the same. And on these remnants, as a whole, as a religious factor, imperialist propaganda makes a psychological bet against our country.

00:07:21.100 - 00:07:46.100

The head of the Bandera-Soviet Union, for example, does not miss the opportunity to call for the unification of the national-patriotic idea with the religious one, declaring the national-religious idea the great engine of anti-Soviet subversion activity. [ Music ] We missed the great historical opportunity,

00:07:46.100 - 00:08:09.100

I mean the Civil War, set by the leaders of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists in 1979, because we did not have a great, comprehensive Ukrainian idea and ideology. What makes modern anti-communists so different?

00:08:09.100 - 00:08:30.100

What do they like in the politics and ideology of the Union Church? First of all, it is a centuries-long experience of spiritual enslavement of the masses. It is an experience of social demagogy, the ability to grow into social structures of exploitative states.

00:08:30.100 - 00:08:47.420

It is an experience of union, of blocking, with the most reactive social and political forces of the present. And this experience, these qualities of the Church of the Union, are sought to use as a class opponent in the ideological struggle against our country.

00:08:47.420 - 00:09:09.260

Recently, the foreign clerical and nationalistic press, and especially in connection with the 40th anniversary of the Lviv Cathedral, at which the decision was made to liquidate the Church of the Union, It is often said that the Union Church was the national church of the Ukrainian people,

00:09:09.260 - 00:09:34.860

its mother, its protector, and the Union was the national religion of Ukrainians. But historical experience shows that the Union Church has nothing in common with the true national interests of the Ukrainian people, have nothing to do with the true spiritual needs of the working masses.

00:09:34.860 - 00:09:52.860

Unionism was imposed on the Ukrainian people by force. The Brest Church Union of 1596, as well as the Buzhara Union of 1646, was a class union of Polish nobility and Jesuits

00:09:52.860 - 00:10:05.660

with Orthodox clergy and part of the Ukrainian nobility. as a union with one goal - for the denationalization, for the Catholic treatment of the Ukrainian people,

00:10:05.660 - 00:10:20.660

for spiritual enslavement, for the creation of the "klotsdarma", for the foreign and Catholic expansion of the Russian land. And this function of the Unian Church

00:10:20.660 - 00:10:39.660

was being fulfilled for all its 350 years. She was a faithful servant of the Ukrainian ruling classes, as well as foreign employers, such as Austro-Hungarian feudal lords, the Polish nobility, and others.

00:10:39.660 - 00:11:05.660

It should be emphasized that the Union Church and its clergy were always in opposition to the true national interests of the Ukrainian people. served the various conservative, counter-revolutionary forces to suppress the revolutionary movement in the Western Ukrainian lands

00:11:05.660 - 00:11:23.260

with the aim of denationalizing the Ukrainian people, with the aim of eradicating the Western Ukrainian lands from the main part of Ukraine, and already in the later period, after the October Revolution, to turn Western Ukraine into a sanitary border

00:11:23.260 - 00:11:39.260

in the fight against communism. Speculating on the Gospel text "All power is from God," the Unionist hierarchies sought to reconcile the Ukrainian workers with the foreign employers.

00:11:39.260 - 00:11:57.860

In 1931, Stanislavsky's bishop Grigory Khamyshin and sent a message to the believers about the political situation of the Ukrainian people in the Polish state. In it, he wrote that the God's providence

00:11:57.860 - 00:12:16.900

had put the Ukrainian people under the power of the Polish state. And the Ukrainian people should be grateful to this providence. What should the God's providence of the working Western Ukraine be grateful for? Here are some facts.

00:12:16.900 - 00:12:37.900

In the late 1930s, more than 21% of the peasant farms in Bukovina had less than a hectare of land, and 41% were completely landless. In Transcarpathia, landless and landless farms accounted for 57%. A huge reserve of labor gave entrepreneurs the opportunity to reduce their salary to a minimum,

00:12:37.900 - 00:13:10.900

although it was already 50-70% lower than, for example, in industrial centers in Poland. From 1919 to 1939, the number of Ukrainian schools in Eastern Galicia decreased from 3,600 to 139. As a result, almost 80% of children in Lviv, Stanislavsk and Ternopil voivodeships were out of school. In 1924, Ukrainians made up only 5% of students of Lviv University, Polytechnic Institute and Trade Academy.

00:13:10.900 - 00:13:21.900

There were even fewer of them. And they were mostly the children of landlords, kulaks, clergy. And in general, more than half of the Western Ukrainian population

00:13:21.900 - 00:13:32.900

had no education. At that time, here, speaking in the words of Engis, there was a known number of people who, despairing of material liberation,

00:13:32.900 - 00:13:57.900

were looking for the replacement of it with spiritual liberation, consolation in consciousness, that would save them from complete despair. That's how Hamyshin and others,

00:13:57.900 - 00:14:14.660

under the cover of religion, justified the occupation regime in the Western Ukrainian lands. What can we say about the same Khamyshnik who later, in 1937, in his appeal to the clergy,

00:14:14.660 - 00:14:38.780

prohibited the name of the Ukrainian people during the service. He believes that this will be a violation of some kind of canonical right, will be an insult to the Roman Pope. Even the name "Ukrainian people" he considered shameful to use during the service.

00:14:38.780 - 00:15:07.780

What then is the national religion of the Ukrainian people, which was even frightened by the word "Ukrainian people"? With special force of the 1920s and 1930s, that is, the period of occupation of Western Ukrainian lands, the bloodthirsty criminal union of the Union Church with the Ukrainian bourgeois nationalists. It was at this time that the political and relational ties of Ukrainian nationalists with the Unions were formed.

00:15:07.780 - 00:15:27.780

Metropolitan Sheptytsky, in fact, became a spiritual mentor of the so-called UN, the so-called UN, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, and various clerical parties, such as the Catholic Union, the People's Renewal and others,

00:15:27.780 - 00:15:48.380

became the spearhead of the ideology of Ukrainian Brushist nationalism. In those years, the Union of the Union Church with fascism was formed. The orientation to fascism is a natural phenomenon in the history of the Union Church, because fascism saw the power it could rely on

00:15:48.380 - 00:16:06.980

in the fight against communism and the Soviet Union. This alliance with fascism logically led the Church to the years of the Second World War, to criminal relations with the special services,

00:16:06.980 - 00:16:21.780

to the so-called new order. The Union Church, headed by Sheptytsky, became part of the occupation regime. It was directly responsible for the atrocities

00:16:21.780 - 00:16:47.280

committed by the German fascists in the western Ukrainian cities and villages, in particular, the deportation of thousands of people to German concentration camps, the creation of the so-called SS Galicia division, when the Union priests were blessing Ukrainian youth

00:16:47.280 - 00:17:05.280

for a bloody battle against Soviet soldiers. The crimes, mass murders, were recorded by the activities of the Nationalist Battalion "Nachtigal", led by the fascist Oberlander,

00:17:05.280 - 00:17:32.280

the Ovnovsky Shukhevich, and the Unionist chaplain Grinioch. Already in the first days of the occupation of Lviv, the bandits destroyed the best representatives of Polish intelligentsia.

00:17:32.280 - 00:17:58.280

and the world's famous scientists and cultural figures. Metropolitan Sheptytsky did not condemn these atrocities with a single word. The population of Western Ukraine remembers well the godlike feats of the nationalist gangs of the Union hierarchy.

00:17:58.280 - 00:18:29.200

(speaking in foreign language) [Russian translation] It is clear that the Union of Hitler's Germany, the Union Church, completely compromised itself in the eyes of the masses.

00:18:29.200 - 00:18:46.200

In fact, this union and its actions in the years of the war were analogously led by Khantzhuk, the self-liquidation, which was implemented by the Lviv Cathedral in 1946. I would like to emphasize that the decision of the Lviv Cathedral

00:18:46.200 - 00:19:11.200

The discussions on the self-liquidation of the Church are a continuation of the struggle that the Ukrainian people had been fighting against the Church. Overseas, various clerical and nationalist facilitators claim that the Ukrainian people have always believed in the Church.

00:19:11.200 - 00:19:35.200

because from the very beginning of the establishment of the Brest Church Union, the people, the local public forces were in opposition to the Unyatsky Church. Anti-Unyatsky sentiments were ingrained in the national-religious struggle of the Ukrainian people. Let's recall at least the struggle of the Ukrainian people in 1648-56,

00:19:35.200 - 00:19:56.200

under the leadership of Bogdan Akhmenitsy. In one of the documents prepared by Khmelnytsky to the Polish king, the agreement was written so that there would be no trace of the Union's name or memory in Ukraine. The same anti-Unionist direction was the most important for the Ukrainian people

00:19:56.200 - 00:20:20.200

in the 1930s and 1960s, in the 18th century, under the name of Gaidamachina or Koliivshchyna. We can remember the speech against the Catholicism of the first Ukrainian writers, the first thinkers, the polemists of the 17th and 18th centuries, like Ivan Vyshinsky, Mikhail Andreev, Ivan Boretsky,

00:20:20.200 - 00:20:37.200

Ivan Knyaginitsky, and many others who exposed the crime of the Roman pope's policy and the Pope in the Russian lands, who showed a close connection between the Union Church and the foreign leaders of the Ukrainian people.

00:20:37.200 - 00:20:48.200

It should be said that against the Union, against Catholicism, against the Vatican, as an inspirer of the Union, there were Ukrainian revolutionary democrats,

00:20:48.200 - 00:21:00.200

Taras Shevchenko, Ivan Franco, Pavel Gorobovsky, Lesya Ukryenko and others. And in the 1920s and 1930s, the Communist Party of Western Ukraine was a decisive force against the Union Church.

00:21:00.200 - 00:21:26.200

And all this created a social-psychological atmosphere that, after the exile of Hitler's fascists from the Western regions of Ukraine, turned into a mass movement against the Union, for the liquidation of the Union. The attitude that ensured the split with the Vatican,

00:21:26.200 - 00:21:46.200

ensured the overcoming of the century-long yarmak that had been weighing on the Ukrainian people for 350 years. It should be emphasized that this mass movement was joined by a significant part of the re-Catholic clergy.

00:21:46.200 - 00:22:12.640

[RUSSIAN SPEECH] [RUSSIAN SPEECH] [RUSSIAN SPEECH] [SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

00:22:12.640 - 00:22:25.320

in the liturgy on September 20, 1948. The murderer was a villain, not an idealist. He didn't dare to face Father Gabriel and shot him in the back.

00:22:25.320 - 00:22:38.760

A year later, a brutal, but also treacherous, was killed a communist, anti-fascist writer, Yaroslav Galan. The murderers of both patriots, a priest and an atheist,

00:22:38.760 - 00:23:34.260

were from the same camp of the Nationalists of the Union of Atoms, from the same ones that, together with the Nazis, were pouring blood on our land during the years of the Hitler occupation. [ Foreign Language ]

00:23:34.260 - 00:23:52.320

including two bishops and 214 priests, and representatives of the population of believers, not church officials. Therefore, the decision of the Lviv Cathedral on the Samulpidat of the Church of the Dnipro was canonical, democratic,

00:23:52.320 - 00:24:17.820

was representative and expressed not only the needs of the day, but also the spiritual needs of the entire population of the West of Ukraine. Of course, the self-liquidation of the Unian Church caused alarm in the Vatican and in the West, because the Roman curia lost, so to speak, the whole Church, with all the clergy.

00:24:17.820 - 00:24:42.820

It is clear that in these conditions the Vatican, the international imperialism, [Russian translation] The spread of Catholicism in the East is constant. Their goal is the never-ending pain.

00:24:42.820 - 00:24:54.020

They drive believers into their heads, "Who helps the communists, betrays the Church." The "Meta" newspaper "The Goal" wrote, "For the Ukrainian people, communism does not exist."

00:24:54.020 - 00:25:08.820

That's it, it doesn't exist, and that's it. The most vicious and provocative nature of the actions of the Union's top officials was adopted in the last twenty years when the head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church was Joseph Slepy,

00:25:08.820 - 00:25:23.620

later Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. In his pastoral letters, the main focus was on the slanderous attacks on the Soviet Union. In his personal letters to the leaders of imperialist states

00:25:23.620 - 00:25:37.540

and international organizations, he urged urgently, without delay, to take economic, political and military measures against the USSR. According to Slepov, the youth should be brought up

00:25:37.540 - 00:25:50.340

so that they carry the seal of brave Christian military, and, on the first call of the Union's top, go to Ukraine to carry out a special, highly responsible mission.

00:25:50.340 - 00:26:09.740

What kind of mission is this? Legal and illegal dumping of Union emissaries, import of ideological poison and smuggling, The search for the "chipmunks" who could be imagined in the West as imaginary participants of a religious opposition or the so-called "catacomb church"

00:26:09.740 - 00:26:27.140

that exists only in the sick imagination of the Ukrainian nobles. Let the world perish, the shadow of the blind on the Vatican Synod in the end of 1973, only if justice prevails. It was probably the same that prevailed on the Western Ukrainian lands

00:26:27.140 - 00:26:44.540

before their reunification with their homeland in September 1939 and during the years of Hitler's occupation. The policy of peaceful coexistence with godless communism and the hierarchy of monarchy declared the morality of the Christian ethics.

00:26:44.540 - 00:27:04.140

They tried to defy the very idea of the call in Moscow in May 1982 International Conference of Religious Activists for the Salvation of the Holy Gift of Life from the Nuclear Disaster. The nationalist newspaper "Ukrainian Word", for example, depicted the participants of the conference as "simpletons" and "stupids",

00:27:04.140 - 00:27:22.140

who allegedly "immoral communists" used to achieve their anti-religious goals. The main sin of religious activists who came to Moscow turned out to be that the delegates of different churches, one before the other, tried to condemn America for its intention to arm itself.

00:27:22.140 - 00:27:43.140

The means of the Unionist nationalist propaganda slander the peaceful activities of the Russian Orthodox Church, not wanting to see in this activity the will of the Soviet people, both believers and non-believers, to defend the world from a nuclear threat.
