The rector of the temple in the village of Telma of the Irkutsk Region, Sergei Kandybin, complained to the FSB to the former deputy from the Communist Party of the Communist Party of Sergei Ugelitsa, who opposed the war in Ukraine. This was reported by "Mediazona." According to the protocol, the priest turned to law enforcement agencies due to the conversation that took place in the spring of 2022.
“On April 11, in the morning, the church at 1 Street Zueva was visited by an unknown man who was previously unknown to me, who, according to the registrar of the church shop, was looking for a meeting with me for a week,” the priest told the investigators.
According to him, the man approached him to discuss the sermon with which Kandybin came up shortly after the start of the war in Ukraine-the priest accused of what was happening to the USA, and also stated that the humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine was aggravated by "some who were doing atrocities in Vietnam, in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria."
Kandybin told the FSB officers that the parishioner, whom he called the "blogger", did not like his sermon. According to the priest, Sergey Ugelnitsa shared with him the opinion that “the war is aggressive,” and the Russian leadership and the armed forces were to blame.
The priest also stated that he was trying to object to the “blogger”, tried to appeal to his patriotic feelings, but he allegedly said to him the following: “As for me, let this war end with the victory of Ukraine. I’m waiting for the day when the procession of the Ukrainian army in Red Square is shown on TV. ”
“My attempts to reassure him and lead to the dialogs were unsuccessful, were perceived with bayonets. In the future, he continued to talk about his desire to see the speedy counterattack of the Ukrainian troops. Our conversation with him came to an impasse, and the man told me: “I will put candles for the victory of Ukraine and retire from your temple,” said FSB Kandybin.
Sergey Uglyanitsa told Mediazone that much of the priest’s words is not true, in particular, in the conversation he did not call himself a blogger. In addition, he noted that he was a parishioner of the temple for 10 years:
Therefore, Pop, when he says that he did not know me, to put it mildly, is cunning: in ten years he knew anything. I did not communicate with him earlier on such heartbreaking topics, but always contributed to the maintenance of Orthodoxy in Russia.
According to the former deputy, he did not say that he was waiting for the procession of the Ukrainian army in Red Square: “I asked:“ What are you, holy fathers, will do if the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have a parade on Red Square, take Moscow, the Kremlin? What will happen to you if you openly support violence? You don’t understand what you are pushing you? You will not be in the Russian Orthodox Church. ” And I did not put a candle for it. He put the souls of all those who died in this war, ”the nuclear explan.
The priest confirmed to reporters that he had contacted the FSB, and explained this by "fear for the security of the country."
Well, I don’t know who he is, this coarse. He came, wandered something, asked, the bad speeches led. And if he came from Ukraine? Maybe a saboteur? In general, if he allows himself to speak out loud, then we must deal with him! And what is what you wrote? I did a good deed.
After the priest’s appeal, law enforcement agencies began a preliminary investigation against a former deputy. In early October, police officers, writes Mediazon, broke the door at the place of registration of Sergei Ugelitsa in Usolye-Sibirsky. Upon learning that he does not live there, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs left. The next few days they called the friends and acquaintances of the former deputy, and only after that they called him from the prosecutor's office and asked to appear to draw up a protocol. “Of course, I appeared. On October 12, they drew up an administrative protocol, even two at a time, ”said the Coaton.
The former deputy was accused of arousing hatred of military, police and representatives of the authorities, as well as “to a wide circle of people and representatives of the authorities, or rather, to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin” for posts and comments that the Cellular published on social networks. In total, in the protocols drawn up based on the materials of the audit, references were given to seven publications.
The first meeting in the case of the uglytsia was in late October. In November, the judge retrained the case for an article on the “discredit” of the army, and later completely terminated the case due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
According to the former deputy, the authorities “need an indicative flogging” and the FSB officers will not leave him alone: “I don’t think they will stop there. Still dragging before the trial. Per this time they will succeed, ”said Sergey Ugelnitsa.
