▶‘The idea of a nation as described by [Ukrainian] nationalist ideologists challenges God’s supremacy. A disaster for believers!’

Archpriest Andrey Tkachyov was born and served as a priest in the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. After he openly opposed the 2014 Maidan rally, there were several attempts made on Tkachyov's life by nationalists. The priest had no choice but to flee the country.

Attacks on the Orthodox Church in Ukraine have been going on for centuries. After Maidan, they broke out with renewed vigor. Now the process of separating the Ukrainian church from the canonical Russian Orthodox Church is accompanied by mass seizures of churches, the burning of monasteries, and priests being attacked by nationalists.

What are the origins of the split? Watch our excerpt from Ukraine: Road to Schism to take a look at the events that led to the current situation.

😳‘What racists they are!’ This was the insult the Australian Open security guards received from the Serbian fans. They almost kicked the Serbs out for ‘the Russian flag.’ In reality, the fans were carrying their national flag. The security guards confused the symbols of the countries because of the similarity of colors. The guards even took out a folder with pictures of the flags to make it out.

At the Australian Open, not only the Russian, but also the Belarusian symbols are officially banned. It cannot be displayed at the matches or during the breaks.

Has the aversion to everything Russian emerged in the West just today? Watch Russophobia. A History of Hate (2022) to find out.

▶️‘The sanctions haven't functioned.’ Karin Kneissl, a former Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, believes that the new packages of economic restrictions make it worse for the Europeans themselves.

Energy prices in the EU have already risen so much that many businessmen cannot afford utility bills. For example, Hans Peter Kornelius, from Germany says: ‘I recently heard about a bakery, which had been doing well, and had been paying €120,000 for its gas [per year]. And now, they've received their pre-charge calculations — and they have to pay €1,200,000 per year, which is ten times as much. No small business can afford that today.’

After fuel, all other goods become more expensive. Residents of the Baltic States are increasingly going shopping in neighboring Belarus. How did the sanctions affect the Europeans, find out in our premiere, Europe Undone.
