Father Sergius built his own Vatican in the Urals with the help of thieves in law, security forces and tsarboyers - and now he criticizes the Patriarch and "Satanic power"

Half a month banned in the ministry of the Schigumen Sergius holds under its control the Middle Ural Convent near Yekaterinburg. The territory of the monastery founded by him was taken under the protection of the Cossacks, checkpoints were installed at the entrance. The priest claims that the only way to drive him out of the monastery is to take it by storm.

The conflict of the science of Sergius (in the world-Nikolai Romanov) began because of the coronavirus. He recorded videos for YouTube, in which he denied the danger of the disease and stated that vaccination was needed to chip people. During the self -isolation regime, the priest urged the flock to walk in the church, although the Russian Orthodox Church recommended not to do this.

At the end of June, the monasteryattacked the film crew of Ksenia Sobchak. She came there to make a film about the priest and methods of raising children in the monastery. According to the former novices, they repeatedly mocked them, froze them and cruelly punished them. Director Sergei Yerzhenkov, who was broken by the brush, as well as the former novice of the monastery Philip, suffered in the skirmish.

Nikolai Romanov is one of the most famous priests in the Urals. He is called the spiritual father of the deputy Natalia Poklonskaya (although she denies this) and the thief in the law of Timur Sverdlovsk. He is known as one of the leaders of the tsarboaters who believe in the special role of the farmer King Nicholas II, who was killed in Yekaterinburg in 1918.

Schigumen Sergius controls three large Orthodox monastery, whose area is 100 hectares. On the territory of the Sredneuralsky Convent there are agricultural complex, school, garden economy and a strange house. This is a completely autonomous territory.

Why is the Schigumen allowing the power to criticize the power and the Russian Orthodox Church (including Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill personally)? Why do the security forces do not respond to Sergius's actions? How was Romanov, being a convicted killer, was ordained and made a rapid career in the church? In the new episode of the podcast “What happened” the story of the monk tells the journalist of the edition of Znak.com Igor Pushkarev.
