20120928085155-pp.jpgFr. Hryhorii Bolshakov, the senior priest of the Church of St. Peter and Paul of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyivan Patriarchate (UOC-KP) who is running in the elections in Circuit 212, has promoted himself on the walls of his church.

According to a correspondent from Kommentari, the church with a campaign poster of Fr. Bolshakov is situated in Pozniaky (Darnytsia District of Kyiv).

It is written on the poster that Bolshakov is the senior priest of the church and the candidate is shown against the background of the church. It also contains the priest’s campaign slogan: “Vote with your heart and with your soul! Humans deserve human life!” The minister intends to settle the needs of the poor if elected to the Parliament.

Fr. Bolshakov already has some political experience: he was elected a deputy of Darnytsia District Council twice.

At the same time, the Kyivan Patriarchate disapproves of participation of priests in the election campaign. According to the church’s spokesman, Bishop Yevstratii (Zoria), it contradicts church tradition.
