A terrorist attack was being prepared against Metropolitan Tikhon of Simferopol and Crimea. Which the assistant clergyman helped to implement.
FSB officers detained the alleged perpetrators in Moscow – citizens of Russia and Ukraine. They found two fake Ukrainian passports with new names and an IED.
According to security officials, the Ukrainian special services intended to blow up the confessor in his cell in the Sretensky Monastery and recruited two people for this purpose. In December, curators gave them an improvised explosive device through a hiding place.
One of the detainees is Metropolitan Tikhon’s assistant Denis Popovich. According to him, the Ukrainian special services threatened his family if he refused to cooperate.
The second accomplice in the assassination attempt is Nikita Ivankovich, reader of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Sokolniki. After the terrorist attack, they planned to leave Russia.
