Corruption scandal rocks famous Orhodox monastery in Kyiv
The staff also wrote an open letter to Ukrainian Culture Minister asking him to dismiss Deputy Director whose past immodest model career and the absence of any experience in the museology would hinder her work in the world famous museum complex, employees say. The latter however has confessed publicly she had given a bribe for her appointment.
In turn, the culture minister denied he had taken a bribe, but in the meantime he restored the controversial ex-model in the office. Employees had said, this made his guilt evident.
The land area of the one of the world’s famous monastery in Eastern Europe is being under the privatization threat as employees say this sacred site is a tidbit in spite of the complex being listed among the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
In the meantime the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Interior Ministry are holding a thorough check of the mass violations in one of the first monasteries in Rus.
Experts say, the tussle for the world-famous historic and culture reserve will last for long. This case, however, harms the reputation of one of the most sacred sites of Orthodox Christianity.
