Former schemamonk Sergius from the Sredneuralsky Monastery has been recognized as a terrorist and extremist.
The founder of the Middle Ural Monastery, former schemamonk Sergius (Nikolai Romanov)*, has been recognized as a terrorist and extremist. This is evidenced by information from Rosfinmonitoring.
Let us remind you that in April 2020, the schemamonk spoke out against COVID restrictions. His sermons criticizing the country's leadership and Patriarch Kirill were published on social media. In June 2020, the Yekaterinburg diocese lost control over the monastery. After Sergius was defrocked, he was subsequently excommunicated from the Church. His supporters were banned by Metropolitan Kirill of Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye from participating in church sacraments.
At the end of 2020, law enforcement detained the former schemamonk in a criminal case that had been initiated against him in Moscow. On the night of April 14, 2021, bailiffs, with the support of the National Guard, removed the residents and nuns from the monastery grounds, reports the EAN publication.
Nikolai Romanov* was convicted on several criminal charges. He was found guilty of inciting suicide and self-will.
