Pekka Kallioniemi<p>In occupied <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a>, local religious leaders who resist are murdered, arrested or disappeared without a trace. Many priests have been shot simply for refusing to work under the <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/Moscow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moscow</span></a> Patriarchy and Patriarch <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/Kirill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kirill</span></a>. </p><p>17/22</p>

During <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/Soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Soviet</span></a> times, priests acted as <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/KGB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KGB</span></a> informants and many of them were even KGB-trained agents (like <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/Kirill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kirill</span></a>).

Its leader, Patriarch <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/Kirill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kirill</span></a>, acts more like a government spokesperson, blessing <a href="https://defenseofliberty.social/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> crimes, encouraging young men to fight &amp; spreading state narratives worldwide.</p><p>5/22</p>
