In October 2024, the Russian media and Telegram channels distributed several videos from the disco, which allegedly passed in the temple selected from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). We checked the correctness of such a description of these videos.

October 12 Leading News "Channel One", Presenting the next plot, said:“ Well, apparently, one of the few discos where the military commissars did not go. Personnel from Vinnitsa. There, a church building was turned into a night club, which was captured from the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. In the sacred place, light music, dancing, fire fires, but obviously, this contradiction does not bother any of those present. ” The illustration of the dictator was the frames of the dancing crowd under the arches of a certain structure. The video is also heard a song in Ukrainian.

This news spread widely through Telegram thanks to such channels as "Ukraine.ru"(118,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Troika"(99,000),"Skabeeva"(78 000),"Alexander Semchenko"(75,000) and"Cat Kostyan"(71 000). Many publications in Telegram contain more than one video from the alleged church, but three as many as a duration of 5 to 13 seconds. Apparently, the video of the Channel One was assembled from them.

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church subordinate to the Moscow Patriarchate until 2019 was recognized by other local Orthodox churches as the only legitimate in the country. The situation has changed when the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (PCU) proclaimed before that at the Unification Council Received From the Patriarchate of Constantinople Autocephalia, that is, independence from other local churches. After that, the process of mass transition of the UOC communities began under the jurisdiction of the PCU, Accelerated With the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion in February 2022. In August 2024, with the adoption law “On the protection of the constitutional system in the field of activity of religious organizations,” the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine were virtually prohibited, and the UOC received nine months to complete the breakdown of relations with it.

We want to officially say that this information is completely invented and is not true, since in Vinnitsa there are no temples of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with such internal architecture. The object that we see on the video is more likely to look like some kind of culture house or another room where parties and similar events are currently being held. <...> All the temples of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Vinnitsa continue to fulfill their mission as a place of prayer and the spiritual life of our believers. No entertaining measures are held in them. ”
