In Kyiv, "Berkut" riot police brutally beat and robbed the Patriarch of the Ukrainian Pastafarian Church, Andriy Kalmytsky, who appeared on Maidan wearing a colander on his head, reports "Portal-Credo.Ru." The report about this appeared on the official website of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate).
"Portal-Credo.Ru" publishes a shortened version of the victim's account of his altercation with "Berkut."
"Today, I decided to go to Maidan to see what was happening there. As a result, my facial expression changed a bit, and my mind was greatly affected.
Most importantly, I lost my passport, driver's license, credit card, keys to my car and apartment, as well as my mobile phone and all my money. Also, I won't be able to walk properly for a while. But, the main thing is, I'm alive.
And all this just because I was wearing a colander.
About ten people beat me, but one after another. Two held my arms and led me to a police van, and along the way, each of them hit me at least once.
But, the concussion put my brain back in place. Now I have changed my orientation… from east to west.
And it was all just because of the colander on my head.
Now, so many problems have arisen. It is quite problematic to restore my passport. And before that, I cannot restore my credit card or SIM card. I will also have to change all the locks on my home and car. And I had about $500 with me. They tried to burn my jacket and took one of my sneakers.
I didn't know the whole truth of what was happening, but now I felt it myself. But I was still lucky. First, I was lucky that they took me out of the police van for a while because blood was pouring out of me, and they didn't want to stain the floor. They started pushing my face into the snow and told me to hold a snowball to my face. An ambulance for the police was standing nearby, and the doctor came out and said that he would help me. He took me to the ambulance and called for a resuscitation team, which transports police officers. He told the police that I needed urgent surgery.
When the resuscitation team arrived, I got in, but I said that I would not go anywhere until they gave me back my passport and keys to my car and apartment. I got out, but I couldn't walk because my heel was broken. Some captain told me: don't be stupid, get in the ambulance, or you will disappear without a trace, like hundreds of others.
I was half-naked and barefoot on one foot. He said that he would bring something now, and he brought me my torn and half-burned jacket, of course, with empty pockets. Then my brain started working again because I had a concussion not long before. I got into the resuscitation vehicle and went with them.
In the hospital, where they brought me (No. 17 in Pechersk), they treated me very well and did a lot of tests (including a CT scan and X-ray). I refused help, but they forcibly treated me and explained that everyone brought here is taken to a pre-trial detention center, and they secretly showed me some men in civilian clothes who were sitting everywhere. I said that my wife would come and pick me up now, but they said that she wouldn't make it. They called a taxi for me and prolonged my examination and treatment."
"In Ukraine, there is discrimination based on religious grounds. Yesterday, I and another priest were walking near Berkut, but only I was detained. But I was very lucky that I am alive and free," writes the head of the Ukrainian Pastafarian Church.
