The court ordered the release of the plot of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine from the illegally built temple, popularly known as "

" The placement of this structure on the land plot of the museum is contrary to its intended use.. This violates the requirements of paragraph " 91 of the Land Code,” he wrote.

The minister added that the unauthorized temple-maf is located in the buffer zone of UNESCO monuments, where new construction is prohibited, and also violates the ensemble of the historical archaeological complex Tithe Church.

The story around the construction of the chapel at the foundation of the Church of the Tithes, which was later popularly called maf, has been going on since 2005.

The construction was conditionally legalized only in 2013, when the State Register recorded the ownership of the Moscow Patriarchate Church to a non-residential building with an area of \u200b\u200b133.2 sq.. m at the address: st.. Vladimirskaya, 2.

In February 2018, the National Museum of the History of Ukraine filed a lawsuit with the District Administrative Court of Kiev to recognize it as illegal and cancel the decision on state registration of rights, and in early 2021, a lawsuit to the Economic Court of Kiev to demolish the illegally built chapel of the UOC-MP.

As the media wrote in 2018, the “tariffs” in the temple were cloudy. For example, a lifetime mention then cost 500 hryvnia..

At the same time, this allowed the abbot of the so-called Tithes Monastery, who worked in the temple-kiosk, Yuri Kharon, to become the owner of two apartments in Kiev and two expensive cars - Porsche Cayenne and Volksvagen Multivan.

As it later became known, in the same year, Bishop Gideon (Yuri Kharon) was deprived of Ukrainian citizenship.. He found out about this at the beginning of 2019, when he wanted to return to Ukraine from the USA, but he was turned away at the airport by border guards.
