A chapel was burnt in a village near Odesa

Unknown people burnt to ashes a new chapel in the village of Lenino, Frunzivka district of Odessa region, as reported by Trasa E-95 news agency.

The construction was started by Petro Dyachenko, a resident of Ivano-Frankivsk whose late father once lived in the village of Lenin and asked his son to give a tribute to his memory.

Sponsors and ordinary villagers also contributed to the construction process. They installed windows and decorated the Orthodox chapel.
