Moscow, June 4, Interfax – Head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church press service Vasily Anisimov said that "orange" Ukrainian politicians prefer to baptize their children in canonical Orthodoxy.
"It's interesting that orange elite (its uniate part) still prefer to baptize and marry their children in canonical Orthodox Church. It has always surprised me," Anisimov said in his interview to the Radonezh website.
He believes it happens thanks to politicians' wives. According to him, an Ukrainian woman is "ardent protectress of Orthodoxy, of traditional values."
He also told that once Athos monks predicted that Yanukovich would win the election, but added that it wouldn't happen "at a time."
Speaking about schismatics, head of the church press service said that as well as Greek Catholics "they don't have grounds to ask even for Yanukovich's respectful attitude as they've never been tolerant to him, but were used against him as dirty political technologies."
