In the occupied Crimea, Christmas according to the Julian calendar predictably did not bring peace and tranquility, but its criminal “authorities” and related structures “celebrated” it in different ways.
As it was already mentioned, the Moscow “bosses” of the criminal “governor” Razvozhaev, Sergei Kiriyenko and Andrey Turchak, illegally arrived in the occupied Sevastopol, mainly to “solve personnel issues”.
At the same time, these “bosses”, for reasons well known in certain circles, did not “deign” to spend time with other Kremlin’s puppets, including Aksyonov and Konstantinov, who had to criminally practice public hatred in Ukraine.
So, Sergei Aksyonov in his “Christmas greetings” did not fail to declare Ukraine allegedly “captured by Satanists”.
This hate speech with similar wording was also noted at Christmas by Metropolitan Pavel (Peter Lebed), the Moscow Patriarchate’s viceroy of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, who thus reacted to the holding of the Christmas service in the Lavra by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
It would be possible to mock at the “competition” of impotent hatred between the current “Satanists” of Aksyonov and the recent “hermaphrodite factories” of Konstantinov. But, returning to Christmas, it is worth stating that the inhabitants of the occupied Crimea began to celebrate this holiday less and less.
For example, even the propaganda of the Russian invaders admitted that in recent years, young people have practically ceased caroling, and almost no one, except for the priests driven there, went to the “religious procession” held on January 7 in occupied Sevastopol. It was not crowded at Christmas services in the churches of the Moscow Patriarchate either.
There is a fairly simple explanation for this, even apart from the general atmosphere of apathy and frustration among Crimean residents. After all, the mass invaders’ propaganda, including the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate, of the “Russian world” as an essentially Nazi ideology is obviously incompatible with Christian values, which is well understood by believers.
Also, the Crimean priests of the Moscow Patriarchate discredited themselves in the eyes of the population with direct, massive, proactive criminal support for Russian aggression and war crimes, which in 2022 any layman who is far from a theological education could already realize.
